Welcome to Gaia! ::

Issaly was taking a walk a little further out than he was comfortable with, but he knew there was a herb out here he didn't have. Therus fluttered ahead spotting Isolder the sprite flew back to alert Issaly of someone in need. The youth was riding on Saalin, his scarred leg curled up as his other dangled. He blinked. "Oh no...Ullyee go ahead and make sure they don't move too far...Abysio keep point so Saalin and I can get there in time."

As the beasts did as they were told. Issaly slid off Saalin's back with his waterskin. "Hey! Here...you need this..." he kept a small steady hand on the others back. His bangs falling away to show his forehead stones.

Issaly smiled as he took a seat across from the other shifter. He always liked finding another of his tribe out here. He chuckled. "Heaven's no...silence always makes me nervous. I'm out here trying to find a new herb for my collection." he pulled out his journal to show the other. "I'm a healer in training...learning as I go along based on my mentor's foundation teachings."

He held out his hand. "My name's Issaly! These lovely creatures around me are Abysio the Janarim, Saalin the Snaptrotter, Ullyee the Zanteer and Therus the Sprite." he smiled fondly at the group around him.

Issaly smiled. "That's odd...my elder brother Isaris said our names were in theme with our Father's..." he looked like he became lost in thought. "Ah...oh right! Issao!" he snapped his fingers as the name returned to his memory. He had forgotten what it was for a moment. The young healer leaned back on the heels of his hands as he looked the other over.

"What did you say your name was?" he couldn't recall if the other male gave it or not. He knew all the names of his elders from stories Isaris told him.

Issaly heard the name before the hug happened. That was the name of---OH SPIRITS!!! He let out a squeak at the hug. Hugging the other back after a few heartbeats. "Isolder!"" He knew from Isaris' stories Isolder was the energetic one. Always ready to go on a adventure and didn't particularly care for their Father's lectures. He pulled away from Isolder smiling up at his elder brother.

"This...this is amazing! Isaris is back in Jauhar...he said he'll stay there as a rally point if I ever came in contact with any of you." Issaly blinked. "If your alive...then so are the others? Right?" He was taking this as a sign that his elder brothers were indeed alive and well.

Issaly couldn't help the series of giggles and squeaks that came with the tickle attack. When Isloder finally let up the small shifter was sitting in front of his elder with rapt attention. "What are you perusing?" he asked as he reached out to let his fingers trace one of his elder brother's bracers. He looked over to Therus as the sprite flew up to sit on his master's shoulder.

Issaly smiled. "I like it...from what I heard it suits you." he smiled at the Xanteer that appeared. Ullyee perking up before she curled around Issaly. "Ah...this is Ullyee she's the only female among the group, but that doesn't mean she doesn't hold her own." he chuckled. "She likes to mother me alot..."

As he spoke his Janarim loomed over them before flopping along one side of the small shifter. Saalin slithered out to lay on the other side. "The two lumbering giants here are Abysio and Saalin." he patted each as he spoke their names. "And you already met my sprite Therus." He held out his hand as the sprite landed on his palm.

Issaly blinked. "Oh...they hunt for themselves." he smiled as Abysio nosed his head into the young healers lap. "They help me hunt for dinner at least, that's really the only time I cook meat." he usually ate vegetables for most of the day till he got to nightfall. He looked up at his elder brother. "There's really no set list, big brother. I find a beast in need and seek to help..."

He chuckled as he nuzzled the Janarim.
