Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aysun glanced from side to side, swearing that he heard a voice calling out his name. It was something that had him for a time confused as he and some of beasts heading away from the forests of Jauhar. After a moment he looked down at the Janarim that he was riding on, "You hear that, Maw?" He asked of him in a curious manner, getting a grunt in response as they continued forward. It was the second time that the voice called out to them that he turned his attention to searching for where it was coming from... and spotted Rajani.

Lifting a hand up he gave it a wave, "Hey there Rajani!" Giving his janarim a little nudge he caused him to slow down before stopping. Running off without chatting with the girl would be kind of rude and he was sure that Maw wouldn't complain about a little break from the job he was doing. Lifting his fingers to his lips he gave a long, sharp whistle that drew the attention of the beast that was flying over head, causing Sunshine to dive down, landing near to them.

Reaching out an arm he stroked her feathered head before he said to his bright orange kinfa, "We are going to take a little break if you want to join us, Sunny."

Aysun looked startled, going completely stock still as the girl threw herself at him, half expecting her to have knife in hand... but no, she was instead clinging to him? It was a rather huge change of pace from what he'd heard about her, having been warned by his father to keep a polite distance for the safety of both sides. He blinked a couple times, hands flexing at his sides as though he were trying to figure out what to do with them. After a time he lifted one up to pat her on the head when he realized that she was quite shaken by something.

She started to explain, though even then he was confused given that he didn't know a lot about Rajani yet, and the fact that her words seemed slurred. He would have to ask he thought to himself even though he worried that might get her even more worked up. So should he do something else? Say something else? What was the best way to handle a situation like this? After a time he finally decided to say, "They aren't worth your time then if they were stupid enough to forget about someone like you."

Giving a humming sound he then asked, "Who are 'they' anyway?" Friends, maybe? A lover? No, maybe not the latter... but someone that was seemingly important to her, right? As he waited for an answer Maw, who was standing there alongside them, leaned in to nuzzle against the girl's hair as though to help comfort her.

Aysun starred for a long moment and his expression was one that was a mix between shock and confused. After a long moment of his brain seeming to juggle around her words he repeated, "Let the Obans take you?" He obviously couldn't seem to wrap his mind around something like that because, were it him, he'd of died to protect Chandra from those people. The idea that a brother would willingly give up their sibling to a tribe that caused such destruction was beyond him. He knew full well that the Obans that she was given to weren't any of the good ones, she wouldn't be as stabby if they were, meaning that made the one called Elsif that much worse in his mind.

After shaking his head to try to clear the anger he felt at such an idiot he gave her hair a gentle pet, soothing her as he might Maw when the janarim got riled up, and said, "Well, luckily for you that isn't something you have to worry about now is it? I know we aren't at war with anyone at the moment but I can assure you my father would shield bash a legion of Obans or anyone else to keep them away from you." He gave a chuckle and said, "Heck, he actually infiltrated an Oban camp during the war to help free people he didn't know so I can only guess how the rampage would go with people he cared about."

He glanced at Maw and Sunshine before he said, "I'd be right there too... though by comparison even with my pack I'd look pretty weak."

Aysun made a sound in his throat, trying to figure out the right words again. The first thing to come to mind was to reassure her that stray or not he didn't mind, that his whole pack was made up of those... but he doubted that as an earthling she wouldn't want to be compared to the beasts that he was friends with. He had to recall that not everyone thought the way that he did, meaning he had to word things the right way... especially in this sort of situation where things seemed very volatile.

Giving her another pat on the head he said, "I am sure that Dad is fine with you. He'd of never brought you home if he wasn't... besides, I always had a sneaking suspicion he might want more kids but things didn't work out that way." He waved a hand as though to dismiss all the reasons why since that wasn't important now. As she claimed she'd be a 'good sister' he gave a bit of a laugh, "So long as you don't stab me then that is definitely what I'd call being a good sister."

Aysun starred at her for a long moment before he stepped away from her, lifting his hands up to wave them in front of him in a defensive manner, "No, no, that won't happen..." He said, shaking his head in the negative as well. The idea that she thought that he might go after her in such a manner turned his mood a bit sour. Surely she must know that he saw her a sister figure that was just... not right at all, that anyone would want to do that sort of thing with a sister figure. He shook his head again before turning to Maw, scratching him under the chin to distract himself.

"Dad wouldn't do anything like that no matter who he likes. Especially if he sees you as one of his kids... even if you were a boy you'd be safe." He told her as he pet Maw, then moved to check the straps that were attached to the saddle, making sure that they remained strong despite the fact that they were dragging a heavy load of wood behind the janarim.

Aysun gave a half shrug and said, "You don't have to worry about any of that sort of thing from me. You're acting the part of my sister after all and that isn't something that interests me." He gave a shake of his head at the mere thought of it. That was definitely not for him, thank you very much. Sure he didn't have any one in particular, not since... a thought that he instantly waved off. That wasn't a line of thought that he wanted to go down. Instead he looked at Rajani again, listening as she spoke about his father. At least she trusted him, which was important to Aysun. Especially knowing that his father and brother were having problems of late... he was glad that his father had at least someone to look after until he was able to make up with the stubborn Chandra.

"The only way I'd hate you would be if you were to harm one of my babies. That would end badly for you... but you really don't seem the sort." He saw no reason to hate her unless she took a swing or a stab at one of the beasts in his pack. Otherwise there was nothing about her that really bugged him all that much. She was strange, sure, but so was he... and so was everyone else in the world in their own ways.

Aysun gave a smile, "Good. That is really the only thing that would make me really made. It's my job to take care of them after all." Even if they didn't exactly look like creatures that needed to be protected. Just looking at Maw would show how intimidating the janarim was, and yet Aysun still wanted nothing more then to protect him from anyone that would pick on him. Especially those that would pick on him because he was an Oban beast. There were still those who hated anything from Oba, animals included, which made no sense to Aysun.

As she mentioned wanting to steal Maw he gave a laugh, "You could try... but I don't think it would work. They are really loyal after all." He told Rajani as he gave Maw a glance, then looked back again, "We can always go to the border to try to find and tame one of them for you. Younger ones pop up from time to time to try to snag poscuta because they make for easy prey for young janarim that are still learning to hunt for themselves."
