lalalalala! 27th January 2012 . 13.00pm . Optime Form


The festival had been an overwhelming experience for the young male, although he knew that it would soon calm down. He kept himself busy, trying to ignore the ache in his chest when he thought of his son, still with Nayru and her daughter. Nayru had insisted that he go on without them, that she would be down occasionally to see what was happening. Temeraire was still too young to really understand much about his surroundings and Saul was certain the young black male hadn't noticed his absence just yet. He would need to return home soon though, to make sure everything was okay in Ichika. He, X'yrin and Saluce had arranged that they would each go back at some point during the festival to make sure that everything, and anyone who had stayed behind, was okay being left there. Saul knew that there were many who had come with them and Ichika remained just a little empty for the moment.


He'd experienced a few of the activities others had put on for them, including dancing with the Anatheman Xyza and he'd found a long lost relative by the name of Lilin. He had no idea what she really was to him, but he assumed to count her as a cousin for now. His feelings towards her were mixed, but he liked her well enough. It was perhaps the fact that he didn't know her, and the fact that she'd popped out of nowhere claiming to be a Soulstorm, which meant that she was more closely related to Eclipse than she was to him, meant that he had no idea whether other Stormbringers would begin to show themselves. It gave him the smallest bit of hope that his brothers and sister might find their way back here at some point. For now, he was content to relax and enjoy the festival.


He moved through the encampment, nodding to those he knew and giving a smile to those whom he was not so familiar with. He was sure that at some point he would know every one of them but for now, he would continue on his path. He was seeking a certain individual that he thought he might like to complete an activity with. He was trying hard to build a tighter bond between the two of them, especially for Saluce's sake. It wouldn't take long he knew, but both of them had to put in some effort to make sure that they became friends. He found her mannerisms a little disconcerting at times as he was sure she found his a little strange, but the two of them were working at it. He came to a stop outside the tent she had made with her mate, a soft rap against the taught material.


"X'yrin? Are you there? I wondered if you'd like to come sparring with me?" He asked, knowing the female had a certain affinity with the martial arts that would make it difficult for her to refuse. He waited patiently outside the tent, his tail swaying back and forth as he waited for her to emerge.
