"As far as you know, Mercenary work."*He told him, giving the horse a tap to get him moving off towards the outskirts of town.*"I have been considered a business man in some occurrences, however. Mercenary work just happens to provide more monetary value so far. You know, everything going on in the world that just makes jobs easier to get paid for."
Christine
"That's interesting... Do you tend to go far away from home? I imagine traveling for a loooong while means leaving behind valuable people and things, especially if you're risking your life every once in a while... Have you thought about settling down somewhere? Or is that not your kind of thing." *The treton looked at the man with glistening eyes, almost as if his inner child was asking the question, and terrel's life was somewhat of a fairytale to him*
Janise
"My home is everywhere."*He said.*"Quite literally. I have houses everywhere. So I suppose I never really leave it."*The Silnari let out a chuckle, never too used to anyone being curious of his own life. At the question of settling down, Terrel laughed at the thought.*"Hah... Settling down is for old people. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think I'm that old yet. Then again it tends to be hard to tell with Silnaris so maybe I still could be."
Christine
"Gah... Houses everywhere? That must be nice... Though i share the thought of home being everywhere, since this world has provided for me and kept me alive and well. Personally I tend to make the difference between a house and a home; you could very well have many houses and land but the people and the energies there are what makes it a home; without those a house is just a structure." *The treton said in a nostalgic note, thinking about all the places he's been through* "On that same note, what's been the farthest you've been from... Any of your houses i guess hahah, I can see you have many years of travel on you"
Janise
*Terrel fell silent during Nak'sem's nostalgia trip, wondering if any of his houses would be considered a home by the treton's standards. There wasn't much energy there outside of his wolves to really act as a measure, so perhaps they were all simply the same. The Elf considered whether or not he'd consider the west more of his home now with his Allies being close by. He wasn't too sure if it counted either though with everyone traveling relatively far out all the time. Perhaps that was just a question meant for a settler. At least the question that came next was much easier to answer.*"I'd say the desert to the far south. South Hombaxian I believe it's called. A bunch of sand as far as any can see. Terrible place to make a house really."*He said the last part more jokingly.*"Went with a group to explore the area, not too much of interest there though. I've been trying to map out places of better riches, but a cartographer is probably better suited for the job."
Christine
"I've read a lot about the Fexaw Desert it's one of the best for stargazing... And to be completely honest with you i'd love to go there, even if in your eyes there's not much haha. Perhaps it's just me craving the experience or just finding something amazing from every place i learn about." *He gave a soft smile at the thought and then said casually* "I've had some experience with maps but less in a land way, more in a sky way. My people are far better scouting the world through the stars and planets positions. In the end it's a very useful skill to have especially when you spend most your life at sea." *After finishing his sentence, he raised an open hand and making an "L" With his thumb and index he tracked invisible stars. After he was suddenly reminded of the fact that he mentioned age is hard to tell on a Silnari and the curiosity ensued, but he'd rather ask at another time*
Janise
"Nothing stopping you from going other than resources and general sanity."*He said in return to the Treton considering wanting to visit the desert. Terrel was sure there was something good to find there, yet he hadn't come across anything just yet. Star-gazing hardly felt like a good reason in his eyes, but to each their own.*"Navigating is the easy part, finding something worth navigating for is what's hard."*He said in a more thoughtful tone, only glancing over at the Treton as he tried tracking using the nonexistent stars. He's heard of those kind of strategies, though he mostly just traveled based on the sun's position and rested during the night.*
Christine
"And that my friend, is the dilemma of life. Finding a purpose is what people have studied, killed and worked for, that applies to everyone at some point in time" *The treton readjusted the weight of the supplies on himself and gave terrel a quick look.*
*As Nak'sem was recollecting yesterda's events, he suddenly remembered that at no point in time he told Terrel his name. Being way too focused on his new mission it was to be expected; but now, he wasn't gonna let it slide.* "My trarn. I've just realized..." *Slowly turning his head he looked at terrel with a slightly worried expression yet a slightly mischievous attitude* "Try saying my name" *The treton reckoned the Silnari couldn't possibly know so he simply stared back at Terrel with a slight grin on his face* "Any idea what that might be?"
Janise
"When you figure it out, feel free to let me know. Otherwise I'm just going to continue my search for monetary gain like most people have been doing for centuries."*He said in return. For a moment, he felt himself being met with silence only for the Treton to bring up him never stating his name. The Elf never cared enough to ask, but it seemed like the mischievous fish was looking to make a game out of him guessing.*"I have a few ideas, none of which you'd want to hear, so I've mainly just been calling you 'arbec örxo' in my head. It's Kirigic."*The two words were in his native tongue, a language he used on the occasion when encrypting messages or just taking advantage of the opportunity he had to say things people wouldn't understand. It was good fun every now and then as evident of the smirk currently crossing his face at it.*
Christine
"Why do i feel like i've been violated-" *The treton started laughing at the fact that terrel was most likely calling him a moron or something of the sort in his head, not that it bothered him but it did spark up some curiosity, so in between laughs he said* "And what may that mean if you don't mind me asking? I bet you're saying some good stuff about me aren't you" *Nak'sem calmed down and took a few deep breaths and mumbled in between giggles* "C'mon, just shoot your best name, three chances"
Janise
"It means fish boy."*He said simply. It seemed like his naming scheme was as simplistic as his choice of mask wear.*"I can say quite a few things about you, but as your traveling buddy, I'll let you believe they're all good."*With how monotone his voice naturally was, it was hard to tell if he was joking or not. At the very least he came off as amused. He gave a light shrug at Nak'sem asking for guesses.*"I don't know... Shubca? Kugle...? Fügt-?"*He guessed, simply saying words at random from his own language.*
Christine
"Good try. All wrong but who cares at this point. I may take one of those for a future alias" *He giggled at the pet-like name Terrel gave him and simply said* "So fish boy huh? That's okay i guess, it's precise, gets the job done. I'm guessing carl here got his name in a similar manner?" *The treton reminisced about the moment he learnt about the steed's name* "... Do you perhaps have any more pets or animal companions back at your houses?" *Nak'sem completely dismissed the fact that he ended up not telling the Silnari his name, changing to a related topic. After all he knew people usually build an idea of a person based on what they consider important about them and in this case, he was merely his travel companion, Fish boy.*
