[PRP Belrea] An Upside Down Boy ~ Torva & Neryssa ~

[Orpheus Solon]

"I think that we should train you to ride on Svana's back, Eoyolin. I think that it would be rather cute to see!" He told the averin that was currently walking on his left while the vedra walked on his right. The two of them got along well enough but the idea of the smaller beast riding on the bigger one's back, that was a different case altogether. It would be adorable and he'd bet anything that children especially would get a kick out of such a show. As such he felt that it was definitely worth a try when it came to training the two beasts. He'd need a lot more in the way of treats to talk them into it though.

For the moment though he was fine with them walking on their own two feet... they might as well since Torva himself wasn't doing that at the moment. Instead he was walking along on his hands, wanting to get in more practice doing so. He was pretty good at it but going distances and up flights of stairs, now that was something that he definitely needed some practice at. Presently they were heading to where he'd be able to try his hands at walking up some stairs. So to speak.

Until he got there though he felt that walking along like this, even on flat ground, would help build up the strength in his arms. Doing so would make walking up the stairs a lot easier... or so he hoped.

Belrea, it was so new! The sounds. The smells. Heck even the people were all new! It was true that the young Matori had met up with someone who had lived here, but they departed ways upon landing. Leaving Neryssa and her sister alone, now Neryssa had broken free to explore some herself. With her pack slung over a shoulder, she looked around with wide golden eyes. Her ear fins flicked slightly at the new sounds that assaulted them. "Wow,
this place is completely different from home. Ain't it Lygs?" Neryssa said still looking around, spinning on a heel. "Where should we start?"

Well that question had fallen on deafs ears as the critter, normally glued to her back, had skittered away. Turning sharply as she had reached back to touch the Maglardilla as a sign of comfort to find it wasn't there. A face full of delight turned to one of worry. Where had it gone? Lygs never wandered off... Perhaps it was all the new things?

"Lovely, Lygs, where have you gone?!" Neryssa shouted as she tried to see past some that were around. Some heads turning in her direction as she shouted, making her shrink back a bit before darting off in hopefully the direction she hoped her critter had gone.


At this point the Maglardilla had skittered away from it's owner. All this newness was getting to be a little much for it. While he had always stayed with Neryssa, but he felt that the Maroti was taking too long in one place. He wanted someplace to get used to these new surroundings. Somewhere high, the ship had been high, but they had left the docks days ago. Trees, that was the best place to go, really high trees. Jointed legs shuffled him forward and down a set of stairs as compound eyes looked around for a tree or something to climb into. Not knowing that he was headed for a strange boy walking on his hands.

Torva was oblivious to the strange creature coming his way until the beasts that were flanking him set to reacting. Svana gave a honking sound, stomping her feet a bit in a restless manner while Eoyolin set to trying to climb up onto the back of the upside down boy. He blinked a couple times, shifted in place, and did his best to keep from toppling despite the reactions of the pair. Giving Svana a glance he asked, "What? What is it, girl?"

Her honks continued until he glanced forward... and spotted the strange... thing. He gave a bit of a squeak, flailed for a moment, and then toppled over. At least he was able to catch himself with his feet, leaving himself for a moment in an arch before rolling over, making sure not to squish the averin. As he lay there on his stomach on the stone walkway he watched the strange thing that was approaching him.

"What... what is that? I don't think I've ever seen one before..." He murmured, wondering if he should try to catch it. If it were some weird new species the others in the troupe would surely want to see it! As he got closer he said in hopes of getting its attention, "Hey there... strange.. thing. Where are you from?"  

[Kesmi]

So many sounds assaulted the critter as it skittered down the stair and straight towards the hand walking boy. The actions of the other animals made Lygs stop and jump back. His tail flicking forward in a defensive position over his back. Lygs wasn't too sure of the boy, nor of the critters that were with him. This land was too new and it was scaring the wits out of him.

--------------

Looking around, Neryssa wished she had kept a tighter hold on her companion. He was the only thing she had when she was away from her sister. Who knew where it had gotten to. Passing a set of steps down, she stopped a moment and looked down. There was a boy laying on the ground with two strange animals with him. But it wasn't too much the boy she was looking at, but the critter that was standing a stair or two away from the three.

"Lygs!" Neryssa shouted to get his attention, it worked as always. quickly down the steps she went to get a hold of the Maglardilla so it wouldn't harm anyone, her pack forgotten where she dropped it half way down the stairs. "So sorry about that. These lands are new and he got spooked." She stammered quickly as Lygs twisted in her grip the latch onto her clothing with its hook like feet.

Now that she got a look at the boy on the ground, he was certainly different from the woman she had met when the flying ships landed at the festival back home. His hair was light colored, even his crystals were different from those back home. Tilting her head to one side, she just stood there silent, not sure what to say... Now.

Shifting himself so that he was kneeling the ground he starred at the strange beast that seemed to get all up in arms. He would attribute it likely to Svana who was still making quite the ruckus. Reaching out he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her back a few steps, "Svana, that's enough. You're being too loud and making the strange critter upset." He told her, trying to soothe her into calming down. As he worked on Svana the other little creature set to climbing up and onto his back, chirping quiet complaints all the while.

Torva chuckle and said, "You two be nice." He said before turning to look up at the one speaking to him. He starred for a moment before he pushed to his feet, eyes going wide, "Oh! Wow, hello!" He greeted the one in front of him in an awkward and excited manner. She was... definitely not from around here, which made him rather interested in her. He was planning on trying to travel to the new lands after all and here he was lucky enough to get to meet up with someone from there!

He knew instantly that he was starring but how could he not? She was so colorful and interesting looking! If she was an example of those from Tendaji he found himself that much more eager to visit the place then ever.

It was a case of let the staring contest begin, who was going to blink first. Well that was what it seemed like before Lygs dig his hooked feet into Neryssa's shoulder to try and get onto her back. Shaking her head, pigtails swishing back and forth in the motion. "Hey, that hurts Lygs." She said trying to pick him off carefully. "Hold on, hold on."

It didn't seem like Lygs was wanting to hold on to anything but Neryssa. His tail flicked a couple times, the stinger like end coming close to hitting the Matori. For the moment she had forgotten that she had been staring at one of the inhabitants of this new land. Now she was fighting with her companion who was spooked out of his wits. What else could go wrong, well... There was the fact that while trying to wrestle with the Maglardilla, Neryssa's foot slipped from the step she was standing on sending them both towards the ground and the strange boy.

Torva watched the amazingly colored young woman before him as she battled with her odd companion, seemingly trying to get the creature under control. It was something that he thought for a moment that maybe she'd succeed at before she was suddenly slipping off the step that she was on. Torva gave a bit of a gasp before he moved forward a couple of steps, arms out stretched, wanting to catch her before she hit the ground. It was one of those plans that would have made him look pretty good if he'd pulled it off without a hitch. If being the key word in all of that.

A moment later Torva found himself on the ground again, only this time he was being squished by the pretty foreigner that he'd attempted to catch. As he lay there he couldn't help but to chuckle and said in a joking manner, "I must be doing something right to have someone so pretty as you throwing herself at me." Lifting up a bit he looked at the girl and asked, "Are you alright?"  

[Kesmi]

She had expected to land on the ground, but something else eased her fall. Blinking a moment, she remembered standing before a strange boy, looking down, her face darkened as she blushed. "OH, oh my, I'm so sorry." She said stumbling to get off him, "Are, are you alright?"

Neryssa scrambled move, Lygs having released his hold and stood on the stiar watching. His head tilted to one side, though still not all too keen on what was happening, or where he was now. The flight over to these new lands had him frightened. Sometimes she wondered if she should have left him in Matori. Neryssa started at the boy for a moment as he called her pretty, the thought brought her face a darker color once again. Was he just saying that? or did he mean it?

"Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks.. for breaking my fall, I hope I didn't hurt you too badly." She said concerned. "Lygs is hardly ever this spooked. I suppose he is just not used to all the people and stuff. He's used to being where there are a lot of trees."  

[Orpheus Solon]

Torva couldn't help but to laugh, his cheeks coloring a bit, before he said, "Naw, it's quite alright! What guy would complain about such a thing happening to them?" Torva certainly wouldn't! It was a good day if you asked him he thought to himself, dragging himself slowly back to his feet yet again.

He set to brushing himself off of any dirt and debris that stuck to him, and then looked up at the pretty foreign girl, "I'm glad that you're alright! It means that the second fall was worth it." What were a couple scrapes and bruises after all? Especially when he could heal them himself with the magic that he had access to if he really wanted to. Not that he would since he saw no reason to bother wasting magic on such things.

"Ah! I could escort you to a park that is nearby if you think it's be better for him? I go there a lot when I'm in town to practice so I know where it's located."

Neryssa couldn't help but find her fan and flick it open to hide her face behind. She was in a new place and already getting off to a rough start. Not to mention Lygs was acting up, though that she assumed was because this was new to him as well. She and her sister traveled from Matori to Sauti to take one of the large air ships to these new places. Belrea was a new to her as Sauti had been, just more noisy and more people.

"You know, I think that will work for him. Matori has many trees and Lygs enjoyed it." She agreed looking around for her pack before spotting it on the steps. "Oh, I'm sorry. I never introduced myself before we had a coming together. I'm Neryssa, I'm from Matori, across the sea." She smiled picking up her pack and sling it over a shoulder trying not to upset Lygs again.

She could feel his hook like claws digging into her sides through her clothing. The faster they reached trees where he could calm down the better. She would handle the small tremors, but the claws.. That was another thing, at times she wished he would walk on his own.

Torva gave a little clap of his hands before he said, "Great! We should head that way then." He was eager to get to the park where he could do some various practice on softer ground. It wasn't as easy to do when one was on the roads because one could easily get hurt when they fell. He was lucky in that he'd stayed in pretty good condition despite taking a pair of tumbles already today... not that he was complaining, especially given that the second fall was with a girl. Hard to be upset over that.

"It's really nice to meet you Neryssa, I'm Torva." He said, then motioned to the beasts with him, "This big girl here is Svana, and the little guy is Eayolin, and the park is not too far from here. Let me lead the way."

He turned around so that he was in front of Neryssa, but walking backwards, watching her as he went, "So what brought you here to Belrea? Anything exciting? Or just curious about the place?"  

[Kesmi]

Neryssa watched the strange boy as he called himself Torva. It certainly was a cute name for him, and his companions were interesting as well. Given she hadn't seen many of the critters from the new place. She would have to get a closer look when she got around to it. Perhaps she could get a new companion later on too. Fanning herself with her fan a little she followed Torva in the direction of the park.

"I'm a dancer. I wanted to see what types of dances were here. I have seen a few styles back home and wanted to experience something new." She said with a smile, "What about you? Anything interesting in these parts?"  

[Orpheus Solon]

Kesmi

"Ohhhh, a dancer! That's a lot of fun." He said as he walked along just ahead of the girl. She certainly had the look of someone that danced. Giving her a smile he said, "I bet that you'd be really popular if you danced in Belrea since you have such a unique look. Do you think you'll be doing any shows? I'd love to see one."

Clapping his hands together in an excited manner he said, "Oh yes! My family is definitely something that I would call interesting though I might be a bit biased in that way. Our group is called Wanderlust Bizarre, we are a traveling group of entertainers. I do trick shooting, acrobatics, juggling a bit though it's not my specialty. The others have their talents as well, so it's always a ton of fun."
