Welcome to Gaia! ::

Keelthy was performing a particularly complicated routine in a large crowd of onlookers, it was a dance that still gave him some trouble but he recovered misteps quickly and made them look like they belonged there as often as he could. It was a tale of two lovers that should be done with two people but he had yet to find a satisfactory dance partner that could play the other part. It was a dry place for talent apparently in this section of the city, mores the pity, he liked practicing his art with other performers, he had been living a pretty lonely existance lately and that was not his ideal of a good time. The music crescendoed and came to a close as he moved with it into a ball down on one knee in the final pose of the exhausting dance.

His sides heaved and sweat rolled down his forehead in sheets and streams. However he had managed to do the dance some justice and was rewarded with the roar of moderate applause that was almost as good as the pay he would get for the gig. He glanced into the crowd looking for familiar faces and finding none.

Keelthy turned to see a cute Oban with a most mysterious mask on. Well this was a pleasant surprise, not every one wanted to talk after a performance, but he loved it when they did. "Keelthy, its a pleasure to meet you." He offered his hand for the other to shake. "What can I do you for?" He asked curiously, perhaps it was an inquiry on technique or another job offer or just a chance to have a good chat, the possibitliies were endless and he felt really good after the performance that he had put on. "Your name is?" He asked curiously, he would have remembered this man if he had seem him before.

Keelthy smiled brightly, the lad's attitude was infectious and bright. It gave Keel a really good feeling. "A pleasure to meet you Klaas, I would love to go for a drink with you."

"New are you?" Keelthy said grabbing a towel to wipe off his face, "Where are you from? Coincidentaly I have a position open for a friend spot." He smiled warmly, this was going to be a great day. He was glad that this had happened as his performance had not been quite as perfect as he would have liked.

"Do you have a place in mind by chance?" He inquired.

Mmmm so open, how refreshing. He was used to his brother planning all the things for a day then freaking out when the whole load didn't get finished. This was something new, and it made the day seem all the brighter.

"I like the wandering idea you have, lets do that. Next time I'll get the drinks."

Keelthy let his tired muscles set the pace, it was a good cool down for him to go for a walk, it let the muscles stretch without heating them up too much again.

He followed the young man until they espied an open place. "This one looks good, what do you think?"

"I was good in our travels about until it started to pour down rain in Jauhar, then you miss everything hot and dry. Its very different out there but definitely worth checking out. Tale is full of grass, more grass then you could imagine and its taller then you would thing..until you see the big trees in Jauhar they are truly impressive."

Keelthy followed in smiling as the lad held the door open, how considerate of him, very sweet. "I went to zena for a little bit, don't know what came over me, but it definitely wasn't for me, so cold you feel like your eyes are going to freeze, a truly unpleasant proposition. The best part of travel I think is the different colors, the different scenery ..and the food. I even miss some of the food."

"I don't know that I've ever had it straight from the ocean before, I think I will have to try that now. It sounds like it will be worth the extra effort to aquire it. What source would you suggest? Do I have to go into Matori to get it? That would be the best way right?" He could perform there too and hopefully not get too burned by any residual resentment from the locals.

Keelthy settled comfortably into his chair, his muscles were still warm and relaxed from the effort he had expended during his performance.

"So have you figured out what your life's purpose is yet? I'm not sure I have except perhaps to perform for other people, but I feel like I'm missing something."

"To tell the truth neither did I, but to my family battle is everything so in order to keep my place among them, particularly my picky uncles, I had to adopt the sword somehow. Hence the lovely blade dancing, it does give me good tips though I'll give it that."

Keelthy stretched out on his chair, relaxing into it. "There is nothing more satisfying then a good performance."

Keelthy watched the mans hands idly as they played with his hair, daydreaming for a moment then coming back to reality. "Spotlight? Ah but the mask only highlights how beautiful your face is. And adds a little mystery itself a little debonair flare if you will. But I understand the sentiment, I had to struggle for my spot light but that was personal."

He tilted his head, "Now healing, that is a truly worthy art to pursue, if I had more affinity for magic I think I would have dabbled in healing..as it is I can put a bandage on a small cut and that is about it." He shrugged sheepishly. "Oh ya, and I'm not so fond of blood, but shhh, no one knows that."
