I can't pinpoint her familiarity... He noticed he was staring at the mysterious girl, and looked away when he realized she was expecting an answer. "Oh, uh... Yeah my parents own this stall. They are travelling merchants from Zena..."
Is it the hair...? No no, that can't be it. Wait, it's gotta be... "The eyes!" He exclaimed aloud. After realizing that he had said that aloud he cleared his throat. "Erm. Oh, uh, yeah I think we have some in the back. I'll be right back."
As he turned around, Peco fluttered to his shoulder and squawked. He went to the back and rummaged around through some of the shelves, though he wasn't looking for Zena furs. He became more and more frantic as he went down each shelf, but then he found what he was looking for; a doodle from when he was little. the simplistic figures depicted on the image were labelled as himself, Peco and Ciaran. Ciaran's eyes on the drawing were the same. "Oh yeah, he helped you when you were sick... I remember now. But who is she...?" Peco squawked in protest. "Right, the furs... "
He grabbed What Zena furs he saw on the shelves and rushed back to the front. He put three kinds out, beige, light brown and dark brown furs. "This is all we have, um... Miss...?"

"I would expect that." Talisia grinned faintly, "Considering you don't look like any Oban I've ever seen." She could recognize a fellow Zenan easily. Not many races had their skin tone and elegant features. Honestly the only species reminiscent was her father's people and even then they were far from being the same.
At his exclamation the girl had to blink. Her eyes? He was staring at her for so long to try and figure out why she appeared strange? "You know most people notice it instantly." She murmured under her breath. He didn't seem disgusted by it however and so she was mostly confused. That evasion... Talisia found herself shaking her head as the boy disappeared from view. He truly was a strange one. She truly had to worry about what was going through his mind at her appearance.
"He's taking a while." Talisia commented to no one in particular as she began to tap her finger along the booth. It seemed that his family was fond of selling many goods. A general trader then with lots of travel under their belt. At least that much she could guess from the variety of items displayed. She had actually began to look at the items which were hidden behind a display when the boy reappeared.
Sheepishly the hybrid took a step back, "Oh. Sorry, I got a bit carried away looking at things." She glanced towards the furs, "Those would be great." In her hand though dangled a few necklaces from the stand, each a glowing gemstone and unique in design, "If these are for sale, I would like them as well." Surely the girls would like these and she could even craft one of the crystals onto a longer cord for Silva. It made her feel a bit more confident in his safety to give him something that distinguished him from typical wildlife. As her thoughts came to a halt though the girl noticed the awkward pause that was hanging in the air, "Talisia. My name is Talisia not miss, I suppose I should have said so sooner." The name came out swiftly and she almost wished she could take it back. I suppose since he's from Zena, I can be a bit more friendly. So far all the Oban merchants had just sneered at a halfbreed like her, but this Zena boy was nice. So for once the girl would give out her name when normally she would just breeze on past as a nameless stranger instead.
"You are?"

Oh, so he had been raised in Zena. Talisia felt a small shiver running up her spine, but surely if he had been spying on her then he wouldn't have openly admitted such a thing, "So then you're only a more recent traveler." She forced a small smile, "I suppose you're close to your uncle then." Talisia had never thought about family in such a way before. Even now after finding out she had a half-sister, the girl had forgotten things like aunts and uncles existed. Did she have any from Kaleo's side or even...relatives in Zena? Surely her mother would have at least invited any siblings over, so that she doubted. Cousins, however, may have been a different story.
"Aww, how adorable." Talisia flushed as she slipped up at the mentioning of the kinfa, "My own kinfa is a baby herself. I bought her while I was in Jauhar from a merchant who had nearly given up on her since she was so frail." As his voice lowered she found herself leaning closer with interest. A boy...with eyes just like her's? Talisia felt her heart knot up, "What...part of Zena are you from exactly?" She knew other hybrids existed, but for someone else to have her eyes? Ciaran....how many people did you know? The thought created a knot in her chest. Was her brother even still alive?
Of course his family had to return, "Umm...yes." Talisia quickly erased the concern from her expression to flash the merchants a smile, "I'll take another small bag of feed. Yukiyo will love that." Her mind sped through all the questions and things she could do next, "Actually..." She glanced towards Eresin with a faint smile, "Since your family has returned would you mind walking back with me a bit? This market tends to confuse me and it is becoming late." Not that she was wary of dark streets, rather others should be wary of her. Still it was the best excuse possible to give the boy a bit more of a chance to speak with her.
