Ashra's home|Clan Fira, Naurorod

[Northen Light36]

"Come on, Aviea!" calls Ashra, breaking into an eager sprint as she nears the grounds of Clan Fira.

[aivea]

Aivea, not wanting to be left behind, runs after Ashra; however, she is still a bit ahead due to Ashra being a faster runner. He doesn't know why she had suddenly started sprinting and wonders if there is a time limit. Perhaps if they were late, they would not be let in...

"Why are we running?" Aivea calls somewhat breathlessly.

[Northen Light36]

Ashra blushes and slows down. "Sorry, I'm just eager to be home," she replies then adds, "Plus I want to get you settled in before I head back to Honoured Leader Damien with the rest of the Clan to fight the clears."

[aivea]

"Home..." whispers Aivea before adding loud enough for Ashra to hear, "I understand now. What kind of place do you live in? Is it anything like the houses in Khelek?"

The questions are more so he won't be too surprised when they arrive and to keep from thinking about the past than out of curiosity.

[Northen Light36]

Ashra pauses for a minute. "I didn't get to have a look at the houses in Khelek," she replies. "Our homes are two room wooden huts though."

[aivea]

"I do not think I have ever seen a wooden hut except in books before."

Aivea lapses into silence then, occasionally glancing up at the sky.

[Northen Light36]

"Well you'll see lots soon," laughs Ashra. "Come on, Fira is just over this sand dune."

[aivea]

Aivea nods and follows across the sand dune. The heat of the desert remains a somewhat foreign thing to him, as does the sheer amount of sand.

"I will stay right behind you."

[Northen Light36]

Ashra nods and leads the way into the Fira Clan. Glancing back at her companion, Ashra notices the heat is taking it's toll on him and quickly leads Aviea to her hut, ignoring the curious stares of other clan members. "Want a drink?" Ashra asks.

[aivea]

"Please, anything cold would be wonderful."

The temperature difference inside, even if not more than a few degrees cooler, is welcome to Aivea. He is feeling very thirsty and too warm. Clothing comfortable in the snowy Crystalands is far too thick in the desert of Naurorod. He makes a mental note to try to find something lighter when there was time.

[Northen Light36]

Ashra nods and leaves, returning about ten minutes later with some clothes slung over her shoulder and a bucket of water. Setting the bucket down in cool corner, Ashra hands Aviea the clothing before filling a tin cup with water and passing that to him as well. "I borrowed those from my cousin," she tells Aivea, nodding towards the clothing. "You might want to change, rather then bake in what you're wearing."

[aivea]

Aivea thanks Ashra before drinking quickly, almost choking. Feeling slightly better, he looks at the clothes and blushes slightly.

"Mind if I go in the other room to change clothes?"

[Northen Light36]

Ashra chuckles, but nods in agreement.

[aivea]

Aivea, still blushing slightly, goes into the other room and changes quickly. Even though the wrong size, Ashra's cousin's clothes feel much more comfortable in the heat than his own. He returns to the room she is in after finishing and carries the other clothes that he'd originally been wearing. (Writing people changing clothes but not leaving original clothes is awkward.)

"This is much more comfortable, thank you."

[Northen Light36]

Ashra grins. "You'd look like a Fire type if you weren't so weedy," she teases gently. She nods towards a small wooden cupboard and adds, "You can store your stuff in there and there's some dried meat and I think some bread in the box on top of it. Will you be all right on your own if I go with the others to see what the plans for attacking Lacuna? I can ask one of the clan kids to show you around if you'd like."
