Two mixed bloods walk into a shop.... (Naemi)

18th day of spring, 511 AV

Spring at last! Snow was melting, the days were warming up. And with the spring came a new year. Raylin had a smile on her face as she walked into the supply tent. It was only a short walk away from her pavilion making it easy to get there.

Shopping list in hand, she began to scan the shelves for the objects needed to start of her journey. It wasn't just her journey though, Jarhal would be coming with her. The thought of hunter's presence brought her mind more at ease about the whole trip. What if something went wrong? What if they ran out of money? Thoughts were pushed to the back of Raylin's mind as she continued looking through the shelves.

Naemi was in the process of running a few errands for her father. The man seemed so lazy to his daughter. He barely got out of his bed most days, and Naemi knew she should give him a break, but it was hard enough just taking care of herself… and adding the care of an older man added so much more work into her day.

Going to the store was not one of the worst chores, but it certainly wasn’t the best. Hunting. She always preferred the wilderness to anything constructed by humans or any other beings. She quietly walked into the supply tent. Her father had told her a few different things to get, and since Naemi had a fairly good memory then she did not bring a list of any sort. Casually looking over the shelves, she saw a girl a few steps over. Not thinking too much about any interaction, Naemi tried to go behind the girl and look at the shelves beyond her, but in the process she knocked the girl a step or two forward. “I’m so sorry…” Naemi said, looking at the girl’s face to see if she was angry.

"Gah!" Raylin yelled as someone bumped into her from behind. After stumbling a step or two she quickly regain her balance. She looked into her hand to make sure she hadn't droped her list then turn to the girl.

At first the young woman had an angry look on her face but then when the other drykas apoligized, Raylin smiled. Well at least she wasn't trying to do it on purpose she thought before answering. "It's ok." the mixed blood smiled as she looked at the girl. Bright green eyes. Interesting. "I'm Raylin by the way. From the Sunsetfeather Pavilion of the Amethyst clan." when she mentioned amethyst she montioned to her dark purple clothes. Though her clothes weren't entirely purple, she also had a orange scarf around her waist.

The woman had let out a gasp when Naemi had bumped into her, but she did not seem angry at all. In fact, she even revealed her name... Raylin. The name fit the fire haired woman in front of Naemi. It was now her turn to respond, to be polite and she knew she must.

"Hi, I'm Naemi from the Jaydefire Pavilion of the Emerald Clan." she half smiled at the girl while motioning to her own clothes which were of course in a combination of greens and browns. Hunting required colors such as these, and Naemi was a hunter by blood. She loved the activity and the way it made her feel connected with nature. It was an experience like no other, and if one hadnt had the privledge to go hunting, they most definitely should try and go. Of course, it wasnt for everyone, but Naemi had not found a person yet that did not enjoy it. "I truly am sorry... I didnt see you there." Naemi continued. "Can I make it up to you in some way?"

What could the woman do to repay her. I wasn't really something that was so terrible that money had to be involved and same with labor. "Why are your eyes that shade of green?" she finally asked. She had been curious about it and already had some suspisions.

Raylin grabed a empty waterskin that was on a shelf near her and placed it into a cloth bag. The bag was large enough to hold the things she needed and had been easy to carry in the pocket she had made in her bryda.

Instead of answering Naemi's question, the girl had asked one of her own. Naemi's startling green eyes intrigued many, so she wasnt surprised when the topic came up. What surprised her was how soon it had come up after meeting the woman. Generally Naemi would have to spend a sufficient amount of time with someone for them to feel comfortable enough to ask her about them.

"My mother was Benshira and my father Drykas. I get the color of my eyes from my mother. I also get my love of jewelry from her." Naemi paused to motion to the various earrings on her ears, and then the small green jewel in her nose. "Your hair is so pretty... why is it red?" Naemi asked glancing at the shelves in front of her.

"My mother is Inartan, my father is also drykas. My mother taught me how work glass." she said, a smile on her lips. She was proud of her heritage and loved to tell people about. The young woman had never met another half-blood untill now. It made her feel a little less differnt knowing that there was someone like herself in Endrykas. To bad she was leaving the tent city soon.

"So what brings you to this fine establishment?" She asked. The store had alot of traveling supplies but things like rope and canvas for repairing tents could also bring a person to come here.

by **Naemi** on March 17th, 2011, 10:10 pm

So the woman was a half blood like her! Naemi instantly felt closer to the woman, knowing that they shared Drykas blood, but were both partially another race. Naemi did not know much about the Inarta, but from what she had seen and heard, they were fairly friendly. The few stories her father had about Inarta branded them as being the friends of the eagles. She wondered what it would be like to be so close to one of the great birds.

"My father insisted that I get some rope immediately." The words came out of her mouth without Naemi being fully aware that she was talking. Rope wasnt the only reason that she was here but it was the main one, and the only one that Naemi was willing to share. She smiled slightly before continuing, "What about you? What brings you here?" There were many different reasons that someone could be in the supply tent, and so far Naemi could not tell why Raylin was here.

"Supplies. Me and a friend are going on a long trip soon so im stocking up on somethings before we set off." she replied a smile on her face. Raylin was excited about the trip. "Were going to see the rest of Mizahar." She hadn't seen the world since she was ten and she decided that after almost a decade it was time for her to see it again.

The young woman put 2 water additives into her bag and the began to search the shelves for a lantern. "So how long have you been in Endrykas?" she asked absent mindedly.

by **Naemi** on March 21st, 2011, 7:29 pm

She was going to explore. Ever since Naemi was little, she had wanted to go and see different places, different people, add variety into her fairly boring life. Her father was the reason she stayed... well that and the absence of a strider. Naemi hoped a strider would choose her soon, for she was getting older, and many of the other Drykas had already been chosen.

"I have lived in Endrykas since I was very little, but I was born in Sunberth. I stay with my father here because he needs the help... even though he denies it. Id love to travel though, I have wanted to for a while now. But I have never lived with my mother's people... the Benshira." Naemi spoke softly, glancing at the shelves and not seeing what she was looking for, "How long have you lived here? Have you been to Wind Reach?"
