Maea Big dreamers shoot for open skies The gryphon was more than welcome to rest on her, and Maea wrapped her arms about the cub, cooing softly as she made to run her cheek over Haai's back. She'd always had a weak spot for animals, far more so than children. This kind of simple, trusting affection melted her heart far more than any sticky handed, snot-faced brats ever could. "You will grow to be a magnificent terror, I'm sure!" she told it. "Burning enemies and saving your human when it pleases you." She offered Sunjata a sly grin. "Or not. Sometimes it is better to let them sort out their own messes." An empty taunt, in her mind, said with a smile to take the edge off any insult - she was growing more comfortable, less intimidated by this person. Perhaps he was not dangerous, after all. "I think it has to do with my size," she shrugged, "or perhaps lack of practice. My da was strict about drinking, seeing as mother lost her family to it. They were outlanders, and did not cope well with a life under the barrier." Sipping at the juice, finding it fresh and just on the right side of sweet, she considered her host. If he'd arrived after the barrier fell, he wouldn't know what it had been like before. Unable to recall his face from earlier, she assumed it to be the case, and felt a brief tug of envy at the thought. What was it like, to remember only horizon and the option to go where he pleased? "How do you like Caido?" she asked him, after a moment of silence. "I hear many say it's different from their original worlds." |

SUNJATA A chuckle leaves him as Maea speaks to Haai, who clearly agrees with all the sentiments with the way the griffin nuzzles in and settles in. Sunjata on the other hand, watched the griffin with no small amount of amusement before he shakes his head. “She’d absolulutely agree with that.” He offers. But he focuses on her next when she speaks of drinking, how it had taken her mother, and he nods in some amount of understanding. He didn’t know what it was like to lose someone from drinking, but he does know what it’s like to lose a mother.
“It’s not healthy to delve into it to ease burdens.” He says, but there’s a hint in the accent of his voice that he chooses to do it anyway, that the only reason he can’t right now is the slight rasping within his chest, the sickness he suffers from. The question, however, causes his gaze to return to her. A small wry smile crosses his face as he nods. “It’s very different from where I’m from. Aside from the constant tragedies, well… I wouldn’t want to go back to my home world.” He offers honestly. “I’m from a place called Korofi.” He begins, voice much more thickly accented on the name of his home. “It was a pretty backwards place in terms of traditions, and after I turned… Nineteen I think I was, I started to fight back against it.” A shrug as he pours himself a glass of water, hearing a call from the kitchen that the foods almost ready. “Made it a while until I popped up here last year after the barrier fell.” His gaze returns to her. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA There’s a wry smile that crosses his face as she mentions that Naturals can be stubborn, but doesn’t know how much different it is from his home. There’s a slight tilt to his head at that as he listens to her explanation. “It makes sense.” He offers quietly, thoughtfully. “Comes to a point where deciding what’s best for the people comes first I imagine. With all of us landing here, your farms were already struggling, let alone add more and more outlanders each day.” A slight shrug. It reminds him of when he joined the resistance of Korofi, where nobody had trusted him because of his bloodline, because of what he’d done.
He’s quiet for a moment as he thinks on it. “It is a lot different, really. We had traditions where you could only have one daughter and one son for each household. Any more than that and they were sent to a different country.” A shrug. “Then when we could walk decently, they’d toss us into the floodwaters to see if we could swim. If you didn’t, you drowned, and parents moved on trying to conceive another to replace you.” He offers, before letting her mull that over to get her food. He returns with it, something somewhat light and not too warm with the heat of the outdoors. Venison with vegetables from the farms produce, a few fruits from the Greatwood as well. And he sets it down in front of her as he goes to sit across from her at the bar, beckoning Haai into his lap to let Maea eat in peace. Meanwhile, he works on checking the bottles, scrawling something on a sheet of parchment. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA He returns with the food, hears what she has to say with a light smile crossing his face. Haai curls up on his lap, her head resting on his side of the bar as he nods. “It’s not so bad in the end.” He shrugs, going to gesture toward the back wall for her to see. “We've set up a small space for people to put lanterns and knickknacks if they want to.” He turns to look back at her again. “A conversation piece in a sense, tell the stories of those lost to keep them in mind.” He glances back at it, lingering on the bronze and fiery lantern he’d created for Lusea, before he manages to find her gaze again as she comments about the food.
The compliment though does have a slightly wider smile crossing his face. “It’s amazing what little things you can do when you combine some outlander things with the traditions of the Grounds.” He shrugs to that. Venison wasn’t new here, but the slight twist of food from home is what helped make this particular thing shine. A bit of give and take, in a way. “There’s stew as well, a few other things too.” He offers before taking a sip of his water and strokes Haai’s head. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA He scours through the bottles, scratching on a pad of parchment to keep everything in order, that he only looks up once more when she speaks. The question, about the section for a memorial of sorts, and he glances back over at it briefly with a faint smile. “Not exactly. It’s sort of mixed with the lantern custom here.” He shrugs at first. “I made that bronze lantern last year for… Well, my ex-girlfriend from Korofi.” His gaze returns to her. “The one next to it is for a niece of mine.” Because it’s easier to explain Clementine as his niece just as much as Melita was.
“But the things around it were added as sort of memorial pieces, that’s a bit more custom to home for me.” His gaze softens a fraction, no longer the hardened steel it had always seemed to be, a lightness settling over him briefly. “But… I did arrive a week before LongHeat ended last year so I’m not too familiar with what the Naturals do during this season.” He places the quill back into the ink pot, scratching at Haai between her ears as he regards Maea once more. “I’d like to incorporate as much of the traditions from here as I can despite my own touches, but I’ve yet to learn much about it.” A rough hum of a chuckle at that. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA She only nods, and he is internally grateful for that alone. Regardless, she charges on and explains that they really… Didn’t do much here until recently. A wry smile is given to the comment of keeping the place from burning down, a nod in understanding. When it wasn’t flooding in Korofi, the heat was enough to cause quite a bit of a stir, and even still the prolonged dry times often brought out a variety of different kinds of scorpions.
His head tilts as he listens to her, giving a quiet nod. “What are you supposed to do?” He asks, wondering how people go about capturing said sun, or if it were more of a metaphorical sense. Were there other customs that were incorporated within it? Regardless, he couldn’t deny the fact that keeping LongNight at bay was sorely wanted and sorely needed. Last LongNight had been a nightmare for him, having spent much of it drunk and mostly out of his wits. He was thankful to have the sunlight on his face one more. And now? Now instead of Lusea charging ahead, this coming LongNight would be difficult with Phoebe at his side after what she’d endured. “I’d be totally fine without another LongNight for a while.” He rumbles with a quiet smile. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA The tradition does inspire the slightest raise of a dark brow. To fill a basket with water and capture the sun within it – he imagines something like the sun’s reflection being what in theory needed to be captured. But it was interesting, perhaps a bit sweet, he thinks as he smiles lightly at the mention of Safrin before snorting lightly. “I imagine that if I were to sing to Safrin she’d likely take my attuned status back.” A hum of amusement leaving him at that before he shakes his head lightly.
Still, it’s something to consider at least. And the follow up information on making gifts has him realizing that he should probably get started on that. One for Melita of course, one for Phoebe (because regardless, he couldn’t not give her one), and perhaps one for Hotaru. An apology of sorts, that he hadn’t married her instead. Exhaling quietly he nods to that, though and offers a small smile before refilling her glass with the juice and settling in a bit more. “Any kind of gifts?” Just to be sure he does it right, after all. Wouldn’t want to cause offense due to his ignorance. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

SUNJATA Giving her a small smirk, he concedes. “I’ll give it a go.” He muses, though there’s amusement in his voice at this. “If I have to go ask to Attune again, perhaps it’ll be as enjoyable as the first time.” He says with some hint of nostalgia – kissing the goddess of the stars, of the sky, of life, and he can’t quite keep that hint of a smile from edging across his lips. “I was accepted when I first arrived.” He says after a moment of nostalgic memories, turning his gaze back to her.
“And right before LongNight I went to the shrine in the Glade and asked to Attune.” He shrugs at it briefly as though it hadn’t meant anything – when it had indeed changed his life completely. He slides the glass over to her with a nod of his own in return as he listens to see what kind of gifts. Anything worked, and that seemed to work out wonderfully enough, seeing as he didn’t have to try and theme them. It makes sense, in a way, and he can’t help but to start to think of what he could create for those he cares about, those he’s obligated to as well. “Mmm, I might have a few ideas. Just wasn’t sure if they needed to follow some sort of sun theme. Good to know, though.” He offers with another bob of his head. i'll never be that me again Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3 Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like. | ||||||
