So, he was here, in Tale. Among the sand and the crystal grass and the sweltering sun. Oh joy and happiness, oh happy happy day! Rastian was stuck in Tale for today! Yiiiiippppiieeee, yiiiippppiiiieeee...
NO. Not happy, not good, no! He hated everything around him! The sun, the sand, the trees, IT WAS ALL TERRIBLE! Why, whyyyy, why oh why oh whyyyy, was he HERE?! The half-breed boy growled, kicked the sand, and trudged along towards the settlement he needed to bring supplies to. Where was he going, Yera? UGH, YERA. He had never been there and he already knew he hated it. But some old guy in the middle Yera named Kuthun wanted some wood for a new staff and Rastian was the only person who could take it to him on such short notice! ARGH ARGH RAAAARGH!
He practically stormed into Yera, his eyes like daggers, and dropped his satchels to the ground. Great, now that he was actually at the place he needed to be, where the hell was he supposed to go from here?! He groaned, slumped against a tree, and closed his eyes. Today was going to be just freaking PEACHY!

Tau had just finished washing himself up for the day. For once it was too hot for him to wear his body art. Didn't mean he couldn't still doll himself up for the ladies. His headdress today was one of extra length and plumage, dangling and catching with his hair. It was glorious. He had removed most of his body paint, but left the majority of the stuff on his face still intact. It was a nice mix to say the least, and he couldn't be more pleased with himself.
He stretched his arms above his head, cracked his back slightly and walked into the bulk of the village. There was plenty of bustling and whatnot going on around him and plenty of hardworking people were going about there day, but today, Tau didn't have to do a damned thing. Training wasn't being held, his brother was with his mom and dad, enjoying a picnic somewhere, and Tau... well, he was here.
He noticed a young man about his age with the most interesting colored hair leaning against a tree and huffing, obviously in a bad mood. Well that was fine. He looked like he could use some of Tau's help in his life, and the guy would most definitely be grateful for it.
"Hey there! I see you need some help of some sort or another. What can I do you for? Looking for some more dye for your hair? I don't see any roots coming in, but I could see why you would want to stock up early."

Rastian let out a slow, agonizing breath. Grand, a local wanted to talk to him. His eyes remained closed as he turned his attention to Tau and slowly pried themselves open, conveying not just exhaustion, but utter contempt for just who ever was addressing him. But as they focused upon Tau, his entire demeanor changed to that of befuddlement, and then laughter spewed from his mouth.
"Good lord, man!" He cackled. "What in the hell are you wearing on your head?! Did you steal that off some poor defenseless Kinfa?!"

Tau's hands immediately went to his headdress, checking for possibly some sort of bug, or maybe another kinfa chick trying to make a nest again. He found nothing out of the ordinary there though and stroked one of his feathers before bringing his arms back down to cross them. Well, this guy was a p***k. Tau could just feel that about him, words or not, and he was usually pretty right about things like this. Well, truth be told, Tau was too biased to be right about a judgement of character, and it was probably clouding his judgement right now.
"What are you talking about? I'll have you know that this thing right here brings all the ladies to the yard." He pointed a thumb at his headdress and smirked. "But I guess you just wouldn't know about that now would you?" If this guy could be rude to a complete stranger, then there was no way Tau wouldn't do the same.

Tau's reaction only made Rastian laugh harder. What a ridiculous assumption! Did this guy really think women were going to come flocking to him just because he wore some sort of idiotic headdress? Was he really that touched in the head? It took the blue hair boy a bit to recover from his laughing fit and he faced Tau again with an arched eyebrow.
"Please, there's more to life than finding romance." He said, rolling his eyes. "But if you're actually serious about the look and it's connection to finding love, then you're either blind, stupid, or misinformed. Women don't like a show, at least not the respectable women I've grown to know."

Tau opened his mouth a bit, totally shocked. Romance? What was this guy talking about? "Whoa whoa whoa there buddy. Who ever said anything about romance? I'm talking about lady-killing. You know? Swinging? This much man can't be held down by one woman alone. There's too much of me to go around." He boasted. Really he would just like it if one girl showed him any attention, but this guy here was taunting him and poking fun at his methods. They just hadn't gotten a chance to work yet. He huffed inwardly. He obviously knew nothing.
He really didn't appreciate this guy's attitude and he didn't much feel like sticking around to hear any more of his smug remarks without getting a lick in himself. "But you wouldn't know about getting women now would you? You probably couldn't get one to bite if you begged. Putz." Tau crossed his arms and huffed, puffing up his chest.
He felt like he was an animal about to show displays with another male. Making himself look bigger to his opponent to get him to back down. He could just imagine it now, two seriffs bulking up their feathers and squawking at each other, showing off which looked better and which would win.

Rastian's face went from humor to disbelief, before it quickly slammed into a 'WTF?' expression. What the hell was this guy doing? Was he deranged? Puffing his chest out like some sort of animal, DISGRACEFUL! He shook his head back and forth, completely at a loss for words. This guy was obviously touched in the head and needed some form of assistance, primarily of the MENTAL kind.
He turned to fiddle with his satchels and produced a spare water skin and a towel from with a larger one. Quickly, he popped the cap on the water skin and doused the towel in water before offering it to Tau.
"Yeah, okay. You must have heat stroke." He grumbled. "No sane person would ever puff out their chest like that. Have you been eating vegetables and resting well enough? Because, in all honesty, you're obviously malnourished somewhere within your body. It's beginning to effect your brain..."

Tau backed up, totally confused by the sudden change. A towel? What the... "No way! And mess up this face? You've got to be crazy! There's nothing wrong with me." He pushed the towel back at Rastian. This guy! Tau almost couldn't find the words to describe this guy. He had never met anyone who would be so outright about disrespecting people. This guy had some nerve. No wonder he couldn't get any women.
"Listen buddy, how I treat my body is my own problem, and there's nothing wrong up here." He pointed to his head. "Except maybe too much suave for you to handle." He stared daggers at this guy, ready to knock some sense into him.

"There's nothing left to NOT mess up, you're a complete catastrophe as you are!" Rastian groaned, tossing the towel upon the ground. He turned back to Tau just as he pointed to his head and grit his teeth. Now he was just being repetitive and stupid, and he was close to getting a few bruises. Rastian had never considered hitting someone before, but Tau just had that one thing, that something...
And he wanted to take him down a notch.
"Perhaps you don't see what's wrong with you because you're about as intelligent as a stuffed Roati put on display." He cracked his knuckles and wandered towards him. "But then again, that would be an insult to all stuffed Roati. You've got too many edits to considered of any sentimental value. You're a complete waste of space, much like a dead tree stuck in your path."
Without another sound, he burst forward and pushed Tau's shoulder, hoping to knock him off balance.
"And there's only one thing you can do with a dead tree, right?" He barked. "Knock it down!"

Tau was caught off guard by the sudden shove from Rastian. And then he was just plain mad. He furrowed his brow and shoved Rastian back. "Well you're about as useful as a spitorog!" He spat back, getting ready to push him back again. This guy was all talk. Knock it down? How cheesy. To think he would dare to even lay a finger on Tau's beautiful paints was infuriating. He should knock his teeth out right here right now. Cut off his girly purple dyed hair. See if that would make him cry.
He literally spat at the ground at Rastian's feet, tired of his talk.

Though he had been knocked slightly off balance, Rastian regained his proper posture and sneered at Tau. Spitting on his boots, eh? He'd wipe all that ridiculous paint right off his his face with his bare hands! How disgraceful he was! If there were any respectable members of his tribe they ought to be ashamed to house such a terrible sight! Why were people from Tale always so annoying?!
"At least a spitorog is a living being!" He growled, moving to shove him again. "A dead tree is a dead tree, it is no longer beautiful nor majestic! A spitorog can be brightly colored while still being dull witted, thus far more useful than you, the equivalent to a dead tree!"

Tau sneered back at Rastian. "Of course you would defend the spitorog and try to make it look better, knowing that you're no better than it." At least Tau wasn't trying to make a tree look good. He knew better than to think that he wasn't a waste of space, so there was no point in trying to make a dead tree appealing.
"You would know about being brightly colored and dull witted, now wouldn't you?" Tau yelled out, pointing out to Rastian's purple hair and two-toned skin. "Why I bet you're just one step away from being spitorog's blood relative."

"Perhaps you're right!" Rastian spat, though sarcastically. "My blood has been tainted by a dull witted ancestry! But it is my choice of living space that makes me the better of the brood!" His pride was showing, and he knew it, and he despised himself for it. He was the dirt of which he walked on, and he needed it to be drilled into his mind!
"The blood of which I have been tainted is none other than Leaf!" He growled. "I only come here to deliver supplies and leave, because it is those like you I wish to steer clear of. You are rude, prideful, distasteful, and an all around waste of time and space! Your parents should be ashamed of you!"

"Yeah, well you're rude, prideful, and obnoxious! Coming here and degrading a whole people! You're father should be ashamed!" He had said his mother was Leaf, and didn't seem to be too fond of her, but from the way he talked, he obviously thought ice earthlings were better.
Tau sneered at Rastian; being called out by this guy was one thing, but he was down talking the whole leaf race. The whole race. Oh. They were in the middle of the town, yelling near obscenities to each other and shoving and being shoved around. Whoops. He looked around, assessing the damage of their fighting. Yep... everyone was looking at them. Well, it serves this punk right. If Tau didn't like him now, the rest of the onlookers probably felt the same way knowing that he just called the whole lot of them dull.
Tau scoffed at Rastian and turned away, sulking at the commotion they caused. "I don't have time for this. You can go make a scene somewhere else. I'm sure your ice people would love to have you back." He was slightly embarrassed that everyone had seen that, but at least he could say he left on a good note. Sticking up for his village and his people. He stormed off, his hands in his pockets; his day was ruined.

"I would if I knew which man my rancid mother had a one night stand with!" Rastian shouted, before turning to gather his things. He didn't care, Kuthun would have to get his things some other way, he couldn't stand to be here one second longer!
He left his delivery for Kuthun upon the ground and gave the people that had watched he and Tau fight a good stare before he left. He had absolutely no idea how Yaholo could stand to live here, he was a respectable person, unlike that lunatic with the feathers in his hair.
