Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sometimes, one just needed a walk to clear their head. Eirex walked aimlessly through the streets and let his mind wander equally. Anything from his twin to the store to raptrix wings crossed his thoughts. He usually had a plan laid out for his days off, but today was not one of those days. Unfortunately, his mind had drifted a little too much. He went to walk around a body in his way, but his sleeve brushed against the bystander caught on their pack. He gave a grunt of surprise when his arm was tugged back. "What the-?"

A ripple of frustration went up Eirex's back as the sounds of the falling crystals reached his ears. Dang it, something broke. He didn't think it was anything of his though, at least. His gaze went first to see what exactly had broken, but his name pulled his eyes up quickly. They knew him? Did they know his father? Would they go complain and-? "Oh! Um, Rhiannon!" One of his northern cousins. What were the odds?

He raised his sleeve up and plucked off the one crystal that had caught and stuck to the coarse fabric. "Here. It looks like this snagged on my coat." He gave her a small, apologetic smile as he held the piece out to his cousin.

Oh! Of course there would be more pieces! Eirex squatted down immediately for a closer look at the ground. Thank goodness the last snow had been a few days ago. What lingered had been tamped flat by hundreds of feet walking over it. Of course, that also meant that fallen items could slide everywhere.

"Oh!"He scurried to dart around Rhiannon to chase after two crystals that were trying to roll off behind her. He stood up with a hopeful grin and held out the pieces. "How many other pieces are there?"

A crescent moon? A silver crescent moon. Could it have been any more difficult to spot? Eirex narrowed his eyes to scan the ground. Hopefully, it didn't go too far.

He looked up as a couple on a stroll approached them, seemingly oblivious to their presence. "Wait!" he yelped. He jumped to his feet and opened his arms wide. "Go around, please! We're busy here!" He almost laughed at the expressions on the couples faces, but there, at the man's feet-! "Oh! Don't move!" He hurried forward and slapped his hand down onto the ground. The couple murmured under their breath as they quickly walked off. Eirex didn't give them a second thought. How could he? He stood up and held the little crescent charm up with a grin. "I got it!"

His cousin's clear delight just made Eirex's grin glow all the more. "I'm glad I could help," he assured proudly. After all, he'd been accidentally part of the broken charm. Ah, and it seemed he would be able to keep helping. "Sure. Would you prefer a chain or leather or some other material?" He pointed in two different directions. "My father often works with the jeweler down that way, but the leatherworker is also really good."

Eirex started to nod along. His mind was going along the same lines. Some people preferred the chains, but the ones for charms tended to be so thin. He.. he could decide for her? His shoulders tensed slightly with the gravity of his responsibility. If he chose wrong, it would be on his head!

He crossed his arms and closed his eyes to contemplate the choices more thoroughly. The thin chain probably was not the best idea. There were fabric strings that could be used, but those might fray with the hard living the northern tribe had. A hearty string of leather might be Rhiannon's best bet for keeping that charm safe. "I think the leather bind is the best option." He pointed his finger toward the appropriate direction. "If you still add the chain to it if you really want it for decoration. Just leave the leather as the thing holding it all together."

Ah, she seemed pleased with that! The little bump raised a chuckle, and Eirex looped his arm with hers to give his cousin a proper escort. "You're welcome." He would have felt awful if a simple mistake had resulted in his cousin's loss of a precious item. The way she had lit up earlier let him know that it would have really been upsetting if it hadn't been found. He'd gotten lucky today. Maybe he would get a charm for himself to commemorate the occasion!
