Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a lonely trail this time to the trading city and Onora and Noelani were both busy and the ninyelt clan was dealing with new potential, so it was time for a few essential items to be upgraded and traded for, he needed to buy supplies for the kitchen as they were low on spices, flour, rice, among other things. It was his privilege to go shopping for himself and Onora, only the freshest ingredients would do. He might rent a quhar cart if he found some of those garden plants that they liked.

He got to the market with no issue and quickly ordered a cart as the market was chock full of high quality goods this early spring day. He bought the flour first and loaded it under the roof and elevated off the Wagon bed in case of rain. The rice promptly joined it then he had finished with the spices, bought a new table and was happily browsing the plants on the nursery doing pepper calculus and what Onora would cook. cross referenced with the information on the pepper. He took his time. He didn't get to enjoy such delights of the land that often.

A foreboding breeze blew through his mane of dark, hair nostrils flaring his head rose in time to see a most interesting pair a tall dark Molokai with dark blue skin, blue scales and vibrant green eyes seemingly in a budding relationship with a wind girl with piercing hot blue eyes, pointy crystals and long dirty blonde hair. It was still rare to see such a pairing their eyes darted about looking for judgment they would not find from his quarter. His own parents had faced their own trials in a time when it was dangerous to look like one such as himself. Since then, Aisha had been able to mix Alkidikes and Elarians and Elzira he thought that was her name had been able to mix Elaria with earthlings so far they had come. It fascinated him to think the outcome of their pairing would be something new, something more like Him than not. He bowed before his plant selection and saw a long shadow before him. He looked up into those Sterling green eyes of the Molokai warrior on level with Theriar himself straightening up he asked, "Can I help you?" He asked in a more friendly tone, the opposite to the body language of the young male before him. The young one had something to prove evidently. Theriar took a deep breath, "You have nothing to fear from me boy. I went through similar trials and came out wiser and stronger." The molokai introduced himself as Killikai and his partner as Verona. Is this place safe for a couple like us. Italy wondering where the parent come from to have such a haunted look about them. "It is safe here Yes, come with me. I will bring you to the inn." Better to be safe than sorry fate had dealt him low rolls before. The pair thanked him he would come right back to continue his selection process. There are many intriguing new varieties this year. The pair settled in the end he returned to his plant shopping. He was in a different place than they with different struggles. He and Onora would likely have children of their own sometime soon. He was nervous and excited but they unlike the new couple had been together for years. Not only that they had been friends before that. His stress was his teaching duties. In the end though they were to protect his family as well. He was the teacher, Kechiri was the pirate. He would happily be going right back to fishing after she was trained. He was sure she would hold her promise. He was basically family not but not quite. He pondered the fate of the two love birds in the inn. They sounded happy with each other, at least they had not had good reception his side of the family. He had thought someone had poked the kakahikinian in the heart to make him so angry. A defense mechanism, the girl would help remind him of what was really important; love.

He went and got a coffee and thought about what the future might bring, both for himself and for the couple facing struggles that no new couple should have to deal with. The world was a harsh enough place without everyone and their janarim passing judgement and making people feel guilty over the things that bring them joy.
