Welcome to Gaia! ::

The creature that sputters up on shore looks like some small, thinner-furred version of a Saigh, with weeds crawling all over the tiny frame. The drab gray pattern of it's fur is striped not only with seaweed, but with a darker blue-gray scattered stripe pattern, muchly resembling the unheard-of-here housecat labeled 'Alley' by breed, or sometimes Tabby... Although, since the feline was bigger than most housecats (While still smaller than the Saigh) Perhaps it was closer in kin to a manx, or a bobcat.

The feline panted on the shore for a few moments befre dragging her tail out of the water, and taking a long, painstaking moment to pluck the seaweed out of her fur, giving it displeased glares.

While she continued to clean herself, growling and hissing at the amount of salt lodged in her fur, but eager to get it out of the material, your eyes were allowed to roam. She wasn't the only thing that washed up; planks of wood in their little curves from the hull of... Something, obviously, sat criss-crossed on the bank, rocked gently by the waves, and there was even a life-ring out on the water, though it didn't look to be heading inwards, and it was probably dangerous to go out after it.

So, with the surroundings looked over, it was time to return attention to the befouled feline. She slumped in the sand, sticking her tongue out at the taste she'd adopted from her fur and even scraping it with her paw, trying to get all the salt off the rough buds. She looked up at the beast watching her and around at the beach after a moment and shuddered, sighing.

"Hello..." She started, returning her eyes to the much larger feline. "I... Must be in the right place, I suppose... My keeper spoke of a place with huge cats, much like you."

Dae-Rune, the beast she'd been talking to, raised a brow. "You're... 'Keeper'?"

"Not important..." She barked. "Look, I need some help... I know it's wrong to leave litter on another's beach... If you poke through the sand, you should find some stuff from our boat... I can try and fashion anything you find into jewelry, if you'd li-... Hey, where are you going?"

"Elsewhere. Clean up your own mess, ya pile of lunchmeat!" He snarled, disappearing into the thin layers of brush resting in a nearby miniforest. Something told her he'd be back eventually, though... Perhaps even doing her job.

She spotted another feline, or perhaps a group of felines, and called them over, stretching on the sand, and explaining her story again. "I can try and fashion the things you find into jewelry... Your breed seems to like it, based on your ears and tails... y'know? I'm sure there's plenty of stuff, it was a big boat. It's kinda difficult to fashion most of it, though.

Anyways, I'll need some kind of payment from you so you can take stuff from the wreck... Then when I have enough stuff, I can go out and try to find the compound the keeper's friends had on the island, and go back to grilled fish and primo wet cat food." Her eyes glazed over and a small bit of drool crawled over her tongue as she thought about whatever 'Grilled' fish and that other thing she'd mentioned were. Probably really good, judging by her outlook.

So... Interested?

((O.o >.> <.< is it open?/Maybe explain a little better what exactly is going on xD Like what they are paying gold for and the fact that pretty things will be added to the images of their Saigh.... ))

Aileena had been rather cooped up for most of the winter, since the nights came so early and getting lost outside was much more dangerous with the cold. Most winters she had to fend for herself anyway, but now that she had a clan to help her, she could do jobs that were safe for her and still eat well. But she could take care of cubs and treat injuries only so long before she felt the need to roam free again. She had gone out with other members of the clan, just to make sure she would get home all right if it got dark suddenly, but there was plenty of sunlight left and the pale female wanted to explore some on her own.

Though the beach wasn't a place she ventured to regularly, a strange shadow on the otherwise pale gold sand had attracted her attention from a distance. Upon closer inspection, Ailee was still not entirely sure what she was looking at, except that there appeared to be a small furry creature, almost cub-sized, standing in front of beach washed items. There were things spread all throughout the sand, and while Aileena was shy by nature, the safety of her clan had allowed much more of her curiosity to be expressed as of late. There were disturbances in the sand, like something had been lying there but was now removed, or perhaps had been buried, and she couldn't help but wonder which was the case. Soon the female found herself pawing through the cold sand, eager to see what, if anything, lay beneath it. For the most part she ignored the small creature standing a ways off, since she still wasn't a huge fan of strangers.

((is that enough for an item or shall we rp a bit of the interaction between them?))

Elsha had over heard the cub-thing, and nodded, she padded over near the sands, and began to dig, her familiar, Devlin, enthusiasticly joined her in searching, in fact he actually burrowed under the sand looking for treasure, he was doing it more for fun, and she was doing it to help the strange creature get home, it would be horrible, to get stuck somewhere unknown, with almost no way to get home.

The familiar was tunneling through the sand, and every time he'd find something, he'd drag it out of the hole, and drop it in a pile, no matter what it was, he even dropped a beetle in the pile!! "Isn't This Fun, Ellie?!" The familiar asked, as he paused from his digging to flop on his bondmate's head. Upset slightly when she didn't respond, he slipped off her head so he was in front of her, "Ellie! You there?" once again, he was ignored, getting the hint he flipped through the air and dived back down his hole to search for more stuff.

((Ailee's awkward enough she would just ignore someone talking to her if she could xD ))

A bright smile lit the face of Saigh and she looked with mild amazement at the pretty objects that the sand had been hiding. The words of the strange creature finally penetrated her socially inept brain and she realized that these were such objects as the creature had offered to assemble together. Speaking of just the same, the voice came again to her ears, but this time at a much closer distance, causing a shot of fear and surprised to go through Ailee's little body and she spun to face the creature, her pale eyes showing the emotions coursing through her, "Oh!" Looking at the items she had found, a battle of fear and happiness waged in her, and after a few moments, she decided such a pretty item was certainly worth speaking so such a strange creature, "N-no, I'd like to keep them if I may. W-Would you make a necklace? I-I can t-t-trade you some herbs for it?"

Gemma had been going to the beach for a swim on that day. However, today she spotted an unfamiliar animal on the beach. It seemed to be talking to others of her species. She moved closer to the ones gathered around to listen. She heard it tell them about making jewelry from the things they found on the beach as long as they gave a form of payment. Gemma loved jewelry and would not mind helping the strange being out at the same time. She had to just think of some sort of payment. hmm...maybe she would catch a fish for it. She decided that is what she would do. She called to the animal "I will help!", and than began her search for the various items on the ground.

Elsha diverted her attention to the golden ring when the mini-feline pointed it out. "Hmm..." She stared it for awhile, examining it with a look o slight confusion. "What's so sepecial about this?" she asked herself quietly, switching into her study mode where nothing mattered except what she was looking at.
Devlin on the other hand was irritated that the ring was the only thing deemed worthy and instantly dove at the sand again to make a new tunnel and search for more stuff. "I'll find something better then that moss cover thing!"

((Do I have to pay again for him to keep looking?))

((Uncert))

Having gathered a collection of the herbs Ailee thought would be most useful to the strange feline, the female trotted back with a few plant stock peeking out from her toes and a few more clutched in her maw. Approaching the strange feline once again, this time more confident from having an actual purpose to approach her, the light blue Saigh dropped the herbs at the other feline's feet, looking up hopefully, "I-I wasn't sure what exactly you'd want, so I found some pain stoppers and bleeding stoppers and stomach helpers and sleep helpers." She pointed to each of the plants respectively, hoping that they would be enough for the jewelry.
