Welcome to Gaia! ::

The tailor shop had been in a small lull once the excitement of Hatching passed by again, and Kita was finding himself with a bit more free time to spend with his three firelizards in shop. Something that at least that lazy brown pile of scales was glad for. Kita however found no respite from the other two flits that made his shop home. Lately the small treat basket by his door had been getting emptied much quicker than usual. At first he'd suspected the small green, but Thell's interest was for the shiny objects rather than food most of the time. So that just left the little blue who was currently digging through a pile of dyed fabric scraps.

"Rami, what have you hidden in there this time?" A happy chirp is the only answer as Kita walks over to lift a few pieces of cloth off of the flit. Moments later an even happier scree sounds and the flit goes between to who knows where, a colorful cloth held tightly in his claws. "Not again. Just where is he taking those scraps to?" He doesn't get any answer from either o the other flits, and just decides to figure it out some other time. if ever.

Off away from the tailor shop, Rami emerges from between with the cloth still held like a trophy, and gives a very triumphant little trumpet. Prize in claw, he flies off to find the big green dragon he could share it with.

Rami gives another loud chirp, puffing his chest out as he's obviously proud of himself and the praises from the big green. She liked his gift! The pretty fabrics were always good. He loops once in the air before heading towards the basket, creening at the pair of flits that greeted him.

He cheerfully drops the fabric right onto their heads before perching and giving another trill, as if laughing at the little stunt. And the offer of food. Food was always good. The treats he was always swiping from the basket in the shop were nice but they were always the same kind, and Kita was starting to grow wise for where they were vanishing to and putting fewer out for him to get into.

The questioning perks his interest and he tilts his head to the side, peering over at Y'kar curiously. A good few seconds pass before images, scattered ones of piles of cloth and work tables, are sent in return, along with a happy chirp as a couple images of his companion flits are also sent over. The green and brown sent with feelings of warm and very happy.

The treat is very gladly accepted, along with another happy chirp from Rami. At the images presented, the little blue tilts his head to one side, then to the other. But the re-sending from the big green that he liked and that liked his presents settles the want in his mind and he gives a bob of the head.

Fanning his wings out he chirps again, sending the rushed images of his green and brown friends back and a bolt of cloth, before taking flight out of the room through the doorway. A few seconds after that he's reeling back into the doorway again with another loud chirp. He sends a big picture of the hallway, then the front of the tailor shop and a strong, as strong as the currently-scatterbrained flit can manage, feeling of follow! Thell liked to follow when he sent things like that, the big green's person should know it too.

For all his part the blue flit seemed to treat leading the big green and Hers following him as a sort of game, chirruping every few seconds back in their direction just to make sure he was being followed. Of course the big green could follow him, she was good at those things!

For all purposes the tailor shop is rather quiet. Until the blue flit squeaks his return through the open door, at least. An answering chirp from the other side of the workshop first, followed by a clatter of needles and cutting instruments falling to the floor join the arrival of a very excited little green, who heads straight for the new person and his Gold with a happy squeak. Images of cloth nests and shiny needles bombard both of the pair as Thell sends feelings of happy and Play? to the Gold.

The firelizard chatter, and more of his poor things being thrown around to the floor earn Kita's attention and he slips out of a small storeroom. "Thell what did you knock over, oh. I didn't realize someone came in, how can I help you?" Rami chirping at him from the table he'd landed on earns a nod. "Rami led you here then? Oh, I hope he didn't snatch anything of yours, he likes to hide things. Not as badly as Thell but. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Kita, you are?"

He takes his eyes off of the rider for just a moment, scanning his shop. Rami perched on a table, Thell flitting around hoping to engage his guest's Gold.. now where was Kut. "You didn't happen to see a little brown anywhere when you came in, did you?" Most likely he was sleeping in another bundle of cloth, the lazy thing.

Thell gives a rather happy squeak when the Gold leaves her perch, and dives after one of the fallen needles. She had to share one of the shiny things before they played, then they could play with the shinies!

Kita spares one more glance at the firelizards and shakes his head at the loss of another needle. But Thell sounded, and certainly felt very happy, so he really couldn't be upset with her about it. Now hearing his guest's name, he grins lightly. "So you are a rider then? Congratulations. I'm afraid I can't really keep track of when the new riders happen around here, the Hatchings seem to come through so quickly sometimes." A nod, and small look of thoughtfulness for a second as he scans the shop again.

"If you would, I wouldn't turn down the help. Kut finds the oddest places to nap in here. The last time he vanished on me it was in the pocket of a rider's vest I was working on. I can't say the man was pleased to have Kut along when he came to pick it up." But it was amusing. The lazy flit for his part had only given a chirp at them both before scurrying off to find somewhere else to finish his nap in the shop before the man could raise his voice. "If you'd like, there is a little basket of dried meats by the door as well. I don't usually get customers in with their flits, your Gold is welcome to a snack when she's finished playing with Thell."

Thell lets the needle drop onto a pile of cloth and chirps back at the Gold, and Rami who is flitting after them, to play a game with it. Maybe they could catch it before it hit the ground, and drop it again?

Kita looks thoughtful for a moment, scanning the piles of cloth on various benches. "Well, he's fond of making nests in the cloth. Leathers he isn't as fond of so that wall along the back I don't think he'd go to. But I never know with him." He glances at the rider again for a moment. "It's a good thing your dragon likes the flits then. I've heard of a few riders who have them, and their partners aren't very happy with sharing. I think it's a little silly myself, firelizards are good company and they're certainly not a threat to anyone's dragon." Nor could they be, the little creatures were far too playful, or lazy, to be much of a threat to anything but a shiny object or scrap of food that isn't watched close enough.

"If you see anything that looks like it would be a nest.. that would be a good place to look. Though Kut seems rather fond of the blue fabrics for his own nesting, for whatever reason." Well, it at least made him easier to spot. Usually.

A happy scree and Thell dives for the needle, wings tucked into her sides. Rami comes up from behind to race her to get to it first.

The flits liked her.. now that made him wonder just a bit. "Could you describe your dragon? Rami sends me several images of a green dragon he seems to be very fond of, and I'm just curious if she may be your partner. I don't mind at all, but it would be nice to know where he vanishes to sometimes." If it was visiting a dragon then, well, he was staying out of trouble and that was perfectly fine.

Lifting a bundle of cloth up carefully, he shakes his head as it doesn't turn up the lazy brown flit. "Hm? Oh, I've been here a few turns. I don't really keep track of it though I guess. But the last two turns, I've definitely been here that long, yes. Not getting much work done thanks to Thell over there. She was a handful to try and train, and then Rami turned up. They don't get into too much trouble though so I don't mind if they're a little untrained as some others around here think. Thell just likes to hide my needles in her nests, but I find them again. No harm done with that. Rami though does like to let some of my cloth scraps vanish. Wherever he's taking them off to I haven't a clue."
