Kiyelt Post 1

Kiyelt had had a good visit with his parents and was busy refamiliarizing himself with his home area. The same hills he had climbed as a child were conquered now with twice the amount of muscle, which also meant when he slipped he fell down that hill side that much faster. Now this was fun barring the copious amounts of snow he managed to get down his shirt.

After such antics in the snow he went to the market to pick up some of the large zenan fish for supper with his parents. He knew the ones his parents liked the most and scanned the fish section of the market for them. This in particular had a unique flavor that he craved as a true taste of home.

This was his place of origin, where he belonged in a way but also not where he chose to belong, he had chosen Oba as his...but now that he had lost Ichil, he was not sure if he would stay there forever. His familiars though dictated a warmer climate than Zena.

Kiyelt had left all but two of his familiars at home, he had brought the two sailscales because of their cold tolerance and the fact that he could stuff both of them in his shirt when they did get too cold. It meant for very close company.

He found the right sort of fish and got it packaged up for the long walk home. He knew why he loved Oba so much it was more comfortable to sweat when you were used to the heat than it was to shiver in the cold despite his great coat, the wind still weaseled in.

As he moved away from the market he saw something he was not sure he was really seeing. A janarim...he hoped it wasn't HIS janarim following him from Oba.

"Sky...." He all but snarled. If that was his janarim Kiyelt wasn't sure he'd have much in the way of keeping his beast warm short of tucking the big critter into his bed before he could build a proper hut for him.

As he got closer though the coloring was wrong and he could hear a voice. His two sailscales decided that this was the time to be cute and poked their heads out of his shirt collar. Squawking questions at him.

"Well lets go see shall we?" He called out a greeting to the troupe of creatures.

"No, no I just thought maybe my own Janarim had followed me out here from Oba, he can be sneaky sometimes. I only brought these two sailscales from my hoard." He gestured to the denizens of his shirt. "I've been out of Zena so long that I had quite forgotten exactly how miserable it can be out here in the wind."

He peered at the line of critters. "You too have quite the collection of friends here, do you need anything? My family have extra food and gear if you have need of it." He only wanted to help. Strange for an iceling but that had come with his strange parents and strange education.

Iniu wiggled out of his shirt to fly around and check out everyone, keeping above curious maws though. She was smarter than she looked. Norcrest the other sailscale retreated into Kiyelt's shirt for a continuation of his nap.

"What I want in return is for you and your beasts to be warm and fed. If we have some friendly conversation in the process thats a bonus, but you don't have to talk, just enjoy a night on me. I am a beast tamer first, a kind heart second, but do not mistake my kindness for weakness. I simply do not like to see people and animals suffer. I have stuff to give that will cost me and my family nothing more than the satisfaction of helping out. In the morning you can choose to stay or leave it is your choice."

People were suspicious of icelings he knew, he had very nearly turned into the typical arrogant iceling but his parents had saved him from that fate, a gift he had never forgotten. "Your janarim seems a fine lad, what is his name? Good conformation and an easy stride, I'm impressed..and stubbron to boot if he followed you out here. Janarim are some of my favorites."

He felt like his voice was going to break he used it so rarely since Ichil had disappeared.
