Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arima - 5

Glancing around Arima quickly pocketed the purchase that she had made with a vendor. After all surely sneaking in a small souvenir couldn't hurt, right? As the crowd moved about her the girl felt herself being tossed around -thankfully ignored due to the large interest in the procession.

Flushing, she even muttered a few quiet apologies as she attempted to weave past a group of strangers - a mix of races, including her own. Strangely enough it was seeing other Matori that actually made her almost want to run away. Sure Obans saw her as different, but there was some past hurt that lingered in her memory about her own kind.

Had they not after all tossed her away before?

Flushing lightly the girl turned her gaze to try and focus back on the crowds. Where did she go next?

Shesha - Post 7

Shesha's discerning eyes scanned over the pair before him, giving a humming sound as he did so, before turning back to Aqio once more, "I see." His brother and a hooded healer that the brother was smitten with, interesting. He couldn't say that he'd ever seen a hooded healer but perhaps there was a reasoning behind it? Anything from something being wrong with him physically or perhaps him trying to hide his identity, no matter what the reason it was none of Shesha's business... but that didn't mean that he wasn't oh so curious about the hooded one. Hard not to have at least a bit of interested when one was hiding himself.

The conversation was turned from the hooded one to the snaptrotters and he found himself starring at the big one. So one just had to get them at a young age, huh? If he could get a personal trainer for such a beast then maybe, but personally... never. Such an animal was bound to make a sizable mess, one that Shesha had no interest in cleaning up. As such he'd cross such a beast off his list of ones to get... not that they had ever been there to begin with. He was happy with his single imp... though perhaps one day a perzi or a keldari might be interesting. They would add to his image of being something dangerous, exotic, and beautiful after all. A thought that had him grinning a bit to himself.

"You don't quite strike me as the type to have such pets, wouldn't they be underfoot for one such as yourself?"

Bisera - Post 7

Turning in the direction that he was pointed Bisera gave a smile and a nod, walking over to the stall, and set to looking everything over. There was a lot there up for sale, various trinkets, various loose jewels, some spools of different wires, stone and bone beads, all manner of things that had his eyes alight. There were also all of the various jewelry that they already had made, some of which he couldn't help but to stare at in awe, before he started to search through everything.

"There are a lot of pretty things here, huh? A person could spend piles of coin in this booth alone, huh?" He knew that he could, but he had to resist for now. He could buy a few things, but not a lot. He didn't have nearly enough to buy everything he wanted, so maybe a couple of pieces to wear himself and some various bits and bobs to use to create even more pieces.

Giving a smile to Xarnith he turned back, setting to work digging around again, "Maybe I should make you something next, Fractis. A nice collar, perhaps?"

Phaedra Post 6

Her eyes watched him as he started to pack everything up. Since this was her first time seeing an Oban festival she didn't know what was going on but Bushi filled her in quickly. Phae smiled as he invited her along and gave a quick nod before she took hold of his hand. "Sure, Bear."

Anything to give her an excuse to spend more time with him.

Abie- Post 6

He nodded. "Makes sense." As he stood, the water male helped Incathis to his feet. Kyri slithered to stand. Her tail loosely curled around Abie's aura as her main body was behind Incanthis. Abie knew that was her protective stance. He tilted his head toward where everyone would gather for the speech. "Let's go. I wanna make sure they'll be alright up here..."

Bushi - Post 7

"Wonderful!" Lifting a hand up he scratched Profit on the head before patting a hand against Aatos's shell, "Let's get moving then, critters. We are moving closer to where we can hear the speech." He told them, wanting to get a decent seat where they would be able to hear the king clearly as he told them how things were doing. The walk to where everyone was gathering was a slow going on due to the crowds and the fact that they were traveling along with a bushi which weren't known for their incredible speed.

After arriving at the gathering spot he looked around a moment, then moved toward a nice, shaded spot, patting Aatos again when they arrived so that he'd come to a halt. Once there he leaned against the big turtle, motioning to Phaedra, "You can lean on him too, Sprite, or if you're wanting to sit down you can climb up and sit on Aatos with Profit." He doubted the small amount of added weight that was the Leaf Tribeswoman would bother Aatos in the least bit. He was used to carrying far, far more after all.

Turning forward he let his eyes scan the crowd, checking to see if the royals were in place yet. He didn't see them straight away so they might be gathering their thoughts after the parade. Soon though, he was certain, things would begin.

Shesha - Post 8

Giving a nod of his head Shesha said, "That seems a more fitting beast for your line of work." He couldn't see Aqio with a snaptrotter but he could see him with a keldari wrapped around his shoulders. It would be a striking sight... though he supposed that the whole point of being an assassin was not being seen. It was those like Shesha that wanted the spot light, while Aqio would stick to the shadows. They were from polar opposite worlds, but it was what made the little fish interesting to him, that he was a very foreign creature.

Giving a smile he nodded his head, "Yes, I am quite interested to hear what the royal family has to say. It's been... interesting, the years since the end of the war. Everything continues to evolve nearly daily. A speech like this one will be important to hear." At least that was how he felt about it. He'd learn from those in charge how things were doing while picking up any gossip that might be spreading through the area from the royals, the nobles, and even the more common folk. He wanted to hear it all and a festival like this would be the best to gather information fro every class of people all at once.

Walking forward Shesha sought out a good place for them to stand, one in which they were close enough to hear everything, and where they could hear the whispers of those around them as well.
