Hurruh tried something new, something he hadn’t done before.
Wearing his Armis he hovered his hand over the different berries. He did one pass over them with no response but the second time over there was a definitive response. Glowing with excitement Hurruh grabbed two of the blue berries beneath his hand.

It was the first time he had felt movement from the monster. It was a good sign and a joyful start to their relationship, it proved that it was alive after all.

The slime however had a more expensive taste. Slushing it’s way over to the crystal seeds Hurruh picked up two of them as well and placed it on the counter along with the blue berries.

Looking at the four items he frowns as he flicks through his fingers again and again.

”I think I’m a bit short... is there anything I can do for one gold piece?”

@Dark Light

"Well." He scratched his old beard, stroking it straight afterwards. "For a single piece of gold I suppose I could let it slide. However I will like to see you again here some time. When your little pets are bigger. Promise me that and it's all yours." He chuckled happily.

”OK!” Hurruh shouted excitedly as he reached over the counter to shake the old mans hand and seal the deal. ”Thank you mister! See you soon.”

With haste he puts his new belongings in his rucksack and rushes back outside to be with his sister. Now in a better mood Hurruh was ready to move on.

Gently Hurruh dropped one of the crystal seeds onto his yellow slime and eagerly watched as it absorbed it into its center. Unsure how to feed the Armis, he just held a berry in his enclosed fist.

Jones overheard the gossip of such knights, and she thought to herself that perhaps it would be a within their interests to investigate such a phenomenon. "We should stay here for now." She told Bidzil, she looked around for Hurrah. "At least for the night, I would like to investigate what's causing this."

Hurruh just looks at Jones with a with an expression of shock under a frown.
It quickly slips into something more of worry as he shakes his head.
”What if you get eaten!?” He exclaims grabbing her hand.
”No, we shouldn’t go that way.” He says. Then with a yawn he asks. ”Where are we going to sleep?”

Jones squeezed Hurrah's hand reassuringly. She didn't answer his question about her well being. "In the tavern over there." She told her brother, "with all the knights around it'll be the safest place for miles."

Bidzil nodded at Jones, "Oh, uh...stay the night?" he said looking down to his money pouch, which only held a single gold coin now. "I don't think I can afford that now. I saved enough to get food, but I was thinking I could be back home in Sunfire by tonight, I don't know if I could stay. But what the guards said was interesting....maybe I could just camp tonight?" he said to Jones, the last part mostly to himself in thought.

Nix then interrupted, "Momma wouldn't like that..." Nix stated wearily. "She doesn't like us out in the woods late at night."

Bidzil looked to her, "Maybe, but she doesn't have to know...Besides, with you here, we'll be fine. We can sleep in shifts." Bidzil then turned to Jones, though Nix looked like she still wasn't sure about his plan. "We were about to get some food to eat if you wanted to join, then we are headed out to the forest to look around before tonight."

"That's fine." Jones answered to Jollan, "we all have our reasons for travelling." She added, almost awkwardly. She then thought a big more; "I'll head out with you too, if we're going hunting."

"Great! Then its settled!, lets grab some food and head out. We can come back here and rest up or something while we wait for whatever might be troubling the town." Bidzil then tried to lead his his two companions with him to a vendor to buy some food that they can eat on the road so they don't lose much time. Sedna followed easily.

Nix, however, now knowing that this girl and her younger brother would be traveling alongside then approached them with a curious look on her face. Her head tilted as she looked them both up and down and then leaned forward, most likely in their personal bubble, and gave them a few sniffs to capture their scent. She leaned back away and then then crouched on her haunches, now looking down at the bug that followed Jones. Her ears twitched backwards for a split second before she looked back up at Jones. "No more hurting Sedna, or I'll eat the bug...o-okay?" Nix asked. Though it was very much a threat, she didn't sound angry, and it looked like she meant it, her voice still sounded as if she was still a bit weary of Jones, but if Bidzil decided to trust them, she would try to trust them. Now that she had their scent, she would be able to keep track of them much easier should anyone get separated.

Bidzil returned with a small bundle of food, he didn't get the chance to hear what Nix said, but he did see her actions from afar as he walked up. "Oh! I see Nix decided to get your scent, that means she putting her trust in you," he started excitedly, ".....or taking note of it if she thinks she will need it later... Anyway! I brought us back some food for the road. I guess I may have to cook up one of the steaks for us though." he added, much to Nix's enjoyment.

"Sure. Eat Ack if you want." Jones answered towards Nix. Jones's Monster had taken rest on her head, and warily looked down at Nix, Jones was quick to flick him off. She looked up to Bidzil, "Food is always good." She said to him.

"Okay then, first things first, food." Bidzil said as he took out one of the steaks. He shrugged off his pack and pulled out a cast iron plate from it. He then pulled out salt and pepper, and walked over to a nearby lantern. He reached up to it with his hand, and it seemed the fire in the lantern parted with soft glow of another new fire. "Alright, here we go." He opened the palm of his hand that he reached of for the fire and set the plate on it instead. The fire surged from Bidzil's hand and against the cast iron plate, heating it up rapidly, his hand unaffected by the heat. He then held out the steak, which Nix salt and peppered while he held it and then he set the steak on the plate, seasoned side down as it sizzled, seasoning the other side himself once it was on. "It's a nifty little trick for Tyro. I should probably invest in some striker rings so i can snap my fingers to make a spark, but if i can find some sort of fire or friction, I can manipulate it into fire. usually comes in handy for cooking so far!" he said with a smirk. Nix sat and watched patiently, almost drooling as she waited for her share of the steak though. She was a tad surprised at Jones's readiness to let her eat Ack, but she didn't pay much mind to it, especially once Bidzil started cooking.

Jones sat down as she watched Bidzil cook the steaks. Ack looked at it hypnotised, of course in the air, the monster feared Nix. "So, why are you journeying?" Jones asked Bidzil as casually as she could.

Bidzil picked up the steak and flipped it by hand as he thought about her question. He made sure to keep the plate tilted slightly and the dripping grease from scalding anyone. "Well, I'm trying to prove myself capable enough to join the Magoi, a society of magic users over in Tearia. I'm too young to join, but I feel like I am just as able as any other upstart mage. I even have learned a few spells on my own. I will be at a disadvantage, and I will have to use magic items and books to supplement the magic affinities I don't have, but I feel if i can become a strong enough tamer, they would have to recognize my skill and allow me in....I hope." he said, a little unsure of the last part.

Nix tilted her head a bit, noticing his uncertainty. "Its sure to work Bid! If not, who needs them! we could try to learn magic on our own, and then we can really show them!"
