Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kadriye has been lost in though as she examined the leaves of nearby plants. She was trying to find one from her studies but either it was rarer than she'd thought or she was failing to make out the fine details between it's leaves and that of similar looking but ritually useless plant. of course that was part of why she was out here, to see if she could identify plants she'd been reading about that wold one day be key to doing her job as a mystic. Of course Kadriye hoped the day that she was the most relied upon mystic was a long way off, she was far too fond of her mentor Eshe to wish the older alkidike anything but good health.


Kadriye turned her head and smiled as a greeting as called out and one of her sisters approached. "Good afternoon, can I help you?" She was merely a prentice right now and her skills fairly limited but Kadriye was willing to put in effort if she was needed in any way.

Kadriye was fascinated by Amadi she was certain she had seen one of his kind before but where and when she could not remember. Either way he certainly looked like an interesting sort of companion to have. She shook her head at Briella's question " No, I am looking for things but I have to find them myself." If she couldn't learn to identify things on her own she couldn't progress with her studies. "I could take a breath to talk though"

Kadriye was more than willing to spend some time with one of her sisters. If she was to help lead the tribe some day she should be as familiar with the feelings and needs of her kin as possible. Besides, sometimes it was nice just to talk and make friends, to connect with others.

" The area here is one of the few places this particular plant grows " Kadriye replied with a small smile. Different plants needed different environments and while it was all jungle there were certain formations of trees or tendencies of animals to congregate in areas that lead to some types of flora blooming only in specific areas. " I think Eshe is giving me things to learn about further and further from my home tree so that I get to know Jauhar slowly but deeply." The young mystic was prone to feeling overwhelmed and she could become frozen and frustrated in those moments. Introducing her to new concepts and areas of the jungle in small chunks worked best for her.

"I am hoping to meet some of the shifter tribe eventually." Kadriye knew a lot about the other tribe whom shared this land that belonged to her people. Still , what she knew was recollections from others and from lessons, she had never met a pure blooded shifter before. " Do you know any of them?" she asked, keeping her stride even with her fellow Alkidike.

Kadriye looked thoughtful for a moment then shook her head . " I do not think most males would be that way. When you look at the creatures all around us it is normally the males who are bigger and stronger." It only seemed fair she supposed that males earned their keep and attracted the more valuable females by being adequate warriors. Even if among her main people whom were all female most were warriors. Mystics like her and Eshe were rare and even then they could fight if they had to.

" How does Amadi differ from females of his kind, I have barely seen any like him at all nevermind been able to differentiate the sexes." Truth be told she was a little jealous that she did not have such a fascinating companion.

"Perhaps I will be lucky enough to have a chatty or quiet and contemplative
companion of my own someday." Kadriye murmured. Although she supposed she had little time to add another's immediate care to her already large list of responsibilities.

"Do you have any special skills Amadi?" She asked the sprite like creature. She might not understand his speech but he seemed to understand her just fine.

"That's fascinating." Kadriye murmured with a touch of awe to her voice. Amadi was a rare and fascinating little being and she hoped she had a chance to spend more time with him. In general Kadriye wished for more time to spend with others but her lessons were long and difficult because her destined path was important to her people's prosperity. Still, perhaps she could find a little more time in the day to be social from now on.

" You're most welcome to visit, I like talking with people a little closer to my age." Kadriye meant do disrespect with that statement, it was just that given her status she spent so much time training and around the older mystics. They were wise, patient and kind but much less spontaneous and well fun at times than the younger generation. " I am home most of the time and Eshe has never sent me on a hunt for something that took more than a half day to find so you would not need to wait long if I wasn't there. While she wasn't exactly a youngling Kadriye was still rather young and weak in her defensive and offensive skills which meant she was at more risk out in the open. Someday though she would master the magics of the world and fear nothing.
