Welcome to Gaia! ::

The small caravan of three wagons made it to the building and Huyana hopped down first. With a smile on his face he turned to look at Eiri and hold his hand out for her. "This is it." While it wasn't his he still wanted Eirlys to like it. "We can go inside and get settled then I'll come back out and tend to the animals." Unless she wanted to help him with that. Then they could both do it.

He waited until Eiri was out of the wagon before he went to collect their smaller companion. Valek was still young so he needed help getting down. Huy ruffled the boy's hair then walked toward the Inn door, waving them both along. He'd hold the door open and close it only when everyone was inside.

Eira was near to the bar, humming a tune as she danced with a youngling that was before her, holding tightly to her hands, "You're doing well, my little prince, just make sure not to trip yourself up, you want to keep your feet moving with the rest of you." She said as the two of them danced, then gave a little laugh adding in, "Now, now, you can't look down at your feet. You want to look at your audience after all."

Once he looked up at her again instead of his feet she started to dance with him once more, smiling as they did so. It was only the sound of the bell over the door to the inn chiming that caused them to give pause. Turning her gaze to the door she spotted a familiar face and his companion, something that put a smile on her lips instantly, "Ah! Huyana, I didn't know you were coming by today." She said, walking toward the pair of them, "You're always welcome, of course, and we are always glad to have you, Huyana."

Looking at the girl that stood with him he gave a smile, "Welcome."

He smiled at Eirlys and made a motion toward the Inn's owner almost the exact same time she called out a welcome. "Eira. She owns the place." Then the dancer was coming over, along with her son, and Huyana chuckled. "I brought more furs for you." When he dropped his eyes to the little man that mimicked his mother he couldn't help but grin.

"Eira, you didn't tell me you found someone more handsome than me!" Of course he knew who Li was. Huyana had visited when the boy was still in his mother's womb. And a few times after on business. Once he was finished playing around he gave his attention to the two women. "Ah, Eirlys, this is Eira. Eira, this is my beautiful Eirlys." He figured calling his companion Eiri would confuse things a little so he used her full name.

The boy that had traveled with the two was standing beside Huyana. Valek just happened to be a few years older than Li but since he was more on the shy side around strangers he stayed rooted where he was.

Eira gave a smile as Huyana spoke of the furs that he brought along, something that caused her to give a little bounce in place, "Is that so? Wonderful! I'm always eager to see what new furs that you bring to me." She said, clapping her hands together. She wondered what sorts they had gathered and if they had finally been able to find the rare fur she'd wanted for her little Li since before he was born. She supposed that it was what happened when one asked for something as rare as what she wanted.

Glancing toward the boy that was standing near to the woman, then to her, "Eirlys, hm? It's nice to meet you, Eirlys, and who is your little friend here?" She asked, motioning with one had toward the little boy.

Her smile faltered just a tad as she spotted the strange creature that they were calling 'Pup'. She starred at him for a long moment before she lifted an arm, comparing the creature to it, before giving a slow nod, "So long as you clean up after it then I suppose it can stay inside. If it ruins anything I will have to add it to your bill." She'd give the pup a pass since it was little, but normally she didn't want animals in the establishment save for those smaller then her forearm or those that didn't leave her room.

His eyes went to Li and he shook his head slightly. "Now what would you do with a mammu fur? It's bigger than you." Huyana chuckled but was still smiling. When Eira looked at the animal with them he waited to see what was said about it. He even let out a sigh of relief when the woman said it could stay.

"Oh, Eira, this is Valek. He's training to be a merchant." Huyana put a hand on top of the boy's head.

Finally he gave a glance between the two women before excusing himself. "I'll go tend to the animals then bring in the furs." While he had wanted to keep Eiri to himself business had to come first. It was only fair since he had mentioned the pelts. Plus, he did have a special fur that was packed separately.


Valek blinked when the boy spoke to him and he glanced up at Huyana before looking back at Li. "Uhm.. I don't think so? It's Eirlys' beast." The boy's shoulders lifted a little. When Huy said he would bring in the furs he lit up and smiled before asking, "Can I bring it in? Can I?" Excitedly.

Eira smiled, nodding her head to Valek, "It's good to meet you, I hope that we can work well together in the future if you come to serve the inn as Huyana does." She said, finding it interesting that Huyana was showing around another merchant in training. It wasn't so long ago that he came here as a newbie in training himself. It was a good thing though, it meant that there would be many more merchants out there helping the inn to thrive. They were something the world needed more of as opposed to more and more warriors.

Giving Huyana her best smile Eira said, "I thank you for your hard word, Huyana. I can't wait to see what you brought... and if you happen to actually have a mammu fur I suppose we can look it over." She glanced at Li, "Though no promises that we will actually get it." She wasn't sure if they needed a new mammu fur, but it was hard to say no to Callistos since he was her precious little baby.

Speaking of her baby, "Be careful, Li." She murmured, not wanting to see him get nipped by the odd looking... pup.

After placing a kiss to Eirly's cheek he made his way back out to the animals and took care of their needs with Valek as his helper. The two were gone for a few minutes before they came back inside.

From there Huyana looked at Eira then to Li. "Here we are." In his arms was a stack of furs, one was even folded over several times. Apparently he did have a Mammu pelt in stock. However, in the arms of Valek was a beautifully wrapped package, it's contents unknown. "I have a few good furs that I think you'll like Eira." Huy declared as he moved toward the bar so that he could lay down his pile.

Once his hands were empty he turned to look at everyone, though his eyes lingered on Eiri more. "Would it be possible to have tea brought out?" He wanted his beast charmer to have something to drink.

Eira watched as Huyana and Valek went outside to go and fetch the furs before he turned his attention back to her son once more, watching as he first petted and then picked up the odd little 'pup'. It seemed that the woman was alright with it and Eira would allow it for now. Unless the strange pup tried to n** at her son she didn't mind him playing with the creature.

Turning back she gave a smile as Huyana and his assistant returned with various furs, one of which it would seem was a mammu. It was something that instantly had his attention, meaning that she would need to inspect the mammu to see if it was worth whatever Huyana would ask for it. Now, to look over the rest of the furs as well. It was getting warmer so not as many were needed for the purpose of warmth but there was still uses to be had in them.

"Ahhh, wonderful. Let us see what you have brought for us." She said, moving to look through the furs one by one, pausing only at the mention tea. Giving her son a glance she said, "Callistos, tea."
