Balam1

[21:45] Eztli cants his head to the side; shuffling about as he got comfortable upon the bench. "Okay, first thing's first. Not sure if you've been properly introduced to my husband," He gestures a thumb towards the dragonic man. "This is Eliu. Same with my son, Thorn. I'm going to presume you've already met him,"

"As for the current state of affairs,"

"Yup, Achyon and Osrona are at war. Moxtli are formerly allied with Osrona and remain friends with Achyon. So far as things go, we're not on Achyons radar, but fight's have been breaking out here and there,"

He takes a deep breath.

"Our immediate concern are the Vampires. They're targeting our people after I got one of their leaders killed,"
(Eztli Meztin)

[21:47] Sága asks, "Has anyone seen Ektu?"
[21:47] Eztli Meztin says, "Desert to the west."
[21:47] Sága says, "ok"
[21:53] Balam gave a gentle smile followed by a wave of his canine tail towards Eliu he'd have to pry more into their relations with his brother another day when the topics of discussion were lighter. "Pleasure to meet you I am Balam Aba-Meztin of the Maloti tribe." A stern fist planted into his chest resounding in a loud thud against his broad pectoral muscles. Yet despite how built he was he still appeared to have a rather slender appearance.

"Well Osrona and Achyon have been at each others necks since we were in diapers so that's not too surprising. I'm glad to hear that we're remaining neutral though I see no reason for us to do anything but protect our own." His voice was gentle, Even if it was withered with some age he continued to have a bountiful of youth with his speech.

"As for the Vampires are they a group separate from the existing cities? If they're insistent on continuing violence with the Tribes we must protect our kin and tribesmen." He extended a sigh towards the prospect of more fighting despite having eluded warfare with Achyon or Osrona they still had their problems it seemed.

"Anything else I should know about?"
(Balam Meztin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:57] "They're within Achyon, so it stands to reason that the two parties are allied if not one and the same," He replies.

It was one of the reasons they couldn't just storm the nest and be done with them. They'd need to fight through a City first.

Their best bet would be to chance a meeting with the creatures and do them in then.

"Uh-... as for anything else. I don't think so, though I'm very likely forgetting something... hm..."
(Eztli Meztin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:59] Eliu sagely nods.
(Eliu Meztin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:03] A curled fist slams against his fragile chest, reciprocating the traditional greeting with a wince.

Craning forward slightly in negligible recoil. It'd been a while since he's done that.

Nodding along to Eztli whilst examining the elder Metzin further, recognizing him before the introduction even made. The families of Chieftess's oft became acquainted.

"Yes.. They're co-existing with Achyon for the moment."

For reasons of mutual benefit. Their bonds seemed fragile, possibly broken at either's convenience.

"The Archmagi of Osrona.. retired awhile ago. They're currently in the process of.. assigning a new one."

Done only by visiting the Blind Goddess herself as explained by Esther.

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

[22:06] Louen says, "Hmm.. That's a cool market."
[22:13] Louen says, "Chieftain.."
[22:13] He nodded it was pretty much what he assumed where else would evil fester but Achyon. Yet he kept that opinion to himself for now. He'd continue to think of strategies to rout out any vampires attacks as long as they were on the defensive Achyon could not blame them for the Vampires transgressions.

"Its possible we have a few plays we can make to undermine them with Achyon then we'll have to see what our options are." He said in a clam tone before switching the subjects.

He turned to Ty'raj who informed him on Osorona's affairs and he nodded. "I never cared for Ammori so it was good he stepped down. That man was nothing but trouble.."

After Eztli's report was concluded he starred off into the sky as a cloud rolled over the forest. "Then lets discussing something else shall we?" he said to break the silence.

"I have to apologize to you for leaving Brother. I made you shoulder a heavy responsibility one that was really supposed to be entrusted to me and for that I am sorry for being an irresponsible older brother." He felt bad, After all what was supposed to be his role seemed to fall into Eztli's lap.

"There is no excuse that could justify why I left but I do have a reason. I had a premonition of what would come of me becoming the leader of Moxtli...and it scared me if I'm being fully honest. I suppose I'm more of a coward than I thought." His expression was a bit saddened but he had known his realization was the truth.

"So I left my burden to you...and fled to the Spirit world to find clarity on what I should do and be next. I spend what felt like eons there...and have only just come back to share what wisdom I have with Moxtli and offer you any advice I can." he felt very ashamed of what he'd done relying on his younger brother to handle the burden of leadership all alone.

"But I'm here now Eztli please make use of what I know to make Moxtli stronger and to keep us protected. I vow to uphold that much as a warrior of Moxtli."

[22:17] Boats Reave says, "Yes.. You're the one."
[22:17] Flea waves at the fishy arrival.
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:18] Boats Reave asks, "Where are your prices?"
[22:19] Boats Reave says, "Anyways, glad you weren't executed by firing squad."
[22:19] Eztli frowns at the reminder. He really never wasn't meant to be Chieftain, for it simply just was not a position he'd been interested in. Alas, with no one to take the mantle; he had to step up.

"I admit, I was a little frustrated with you. I feel like I'm better suited in a supportive role rather then taking the charge. But that's neither here nor there,"

"I'm Chieftain now and the tribe's haven't fallen apart at-least. We're actually flourishing, at-least when we compare it to how it was when we were kids,"

Hopefully he played a part in that, big or small.

"I'd be glad to have you around again for support, if you're willing to pass on your knowledge,"
(Eztli Meztin)

[22:20] Flea takes out her sign, and shows it to the boy.

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

[22:20] Boats Reave says, "Wow... those prices are good."
[22:20] Boats Reave exclaims, "But I'm broke!"
[22:20] Ty'raj Toryia says, "Not the time.. flee."
[22:20] Ty'raj Toryia says, "Flea."
[22:21] Flea says, "?.."
[22:21] Ty'raj Toryia says, "But.. I'll take the amber."
[22:21] Boats Reave exclaims, "I asked!"
[22:21] Boats Reave says, "Oh."
[22:21] Flea gestures.. how much Amber?..
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:21] Ariel did shop around in the Flea Market every so often, so of course she would approach when the Mute Merchant would appear.

"This might be a less popular request, but do you stock elemental crystals?"
(Ariel Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:21] Louen asks, "What you wanted to buy?"
[22:22] Ty'raj looks at the amber. Yes, the amber.
(Ty'raj Toryia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:22] Boats Reave says, "Nothing."
[22:22] Flea shakes her head, her stocks of crystals are currently not big enough to partake in any selling, but one could place an order.
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:22] Boats Reave says, "I knew if I asked everyone would come running. It's uhh.."
[22:22] Louen says, "Oh! I thought you wanted something."
[22:22] Boats Reave says, "Helping them promote their buisness."
[22:22] Boats Reave exclaims, "Nope!"
[22:22] Ariel Cirque asks, "How much would you charge for lets say... Fifty Water and Fifty earth?"
[22:23] Ty'raj blinks. That was a lot of amber.
(Ty'raj Toryia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:23] Ty'raj Toryia says, "I'll take... twenty-one of them."
[22:23] Flea makes some QUICK MATHS... before answering to Ariel.

"4-4-9-9" She Fingerspells Right at her.
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:23] Ariel Cirque says, "Hmm."
[22:24] Ty'raj Toryia says, "Oh.."
[22:24] Ariel Cirque exclaims, "Yeah that checks out. Sure!"
[22:24] Ty'raj Toryia says, "She can't speak.. I see."
[22:24] Ariel is really not a maths person.
(Ariel Cirque)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] Ariel Cirque asks, "Do you want a deposit, or full amount now?"
[22:24] Flea writes it down.. Fifty water crystals, Fifty Earth Crystals..
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] Boats Reave says, "It's time to fix them."
[22:25] Flea shakes her head, she'll provide the full amount once it's collected.

"O-N-C-E...I...G-E-T...I-T...Y-O-U...D-O-N-T...H-A-V-E...T-O...P-A-Y"
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:26] Ariel Cirque exclaims, "Got it!"
[22:26] Ariel Cirque says, "Let me check my chests, see if there's anything else I need to stock up on."
[22:26] "I accept that. You have every right to be upset." he admitted to his brother before sighing. Yet still he was here now he would have to make up for it anyway he could.

"In that respect if there are no others who have the position I would put in my claim to become the Head Shaman of Moxtli. Spirituality is an important part of our culture and it should be preserved and passed down throughout the generations." Although he didn't feel it was necessarily Eztli who was lacking in spiritual knowledge he couldn't say the same about some others.

"I would also like to take on mother's projects and continue to progress Moxtli forwards. We[22:36] "Then I vow on the great spirit Xotonal that I'll use my knowledge and resources to better Moxtli as best to my ability. We have a ways to go but the path is clear for us." he said with a smile.

Hearing that there were already funds and approriated things to go to on the expedition he was quite ready for it.


He nodded, It was the position he'd been wanting since he was young and despite the opportunity to have it now the impact weighted even more on him than he expected, There was some excitement although it was far more mute than he intended.

"I look forward to your lessons then Professor." He said with a wink and a wish of his tail. Thinking about his family he did give a sigh he had almost no idea about his nieces and nephews.

"I'll have to introduce myself to the children at some point. And apologize to them as well." He then looked towards his brother towards his side now he placed his arm around him."One last thing I have to ask you and this one is a little more serious. I'd like to inherit Xipovos mothers Spear..."

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

[22:36] Louen says, "I heard Thorn is a Warchief now."
[22:36] Louen asks, ".. It's true?"
[22:36] The trick was robbing people blind. Kidding.
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:36] Eliu Meztin says, "Oh."
[22:36] Eliu Meztin asks, "You want to inherit this?"
[22:37] Balam Meztin says, "If possible yes."
[22:37] Flea had work ahead of herself, so she packed up early and decided to scamper towards the mountains.
(Flea)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:37] Eliu Meztin says, "Anything is possible. Yes."
[22:37] Ariel Cirque exclaims, "Bye-bye!"
[22:37] Eliu Meztin says, "Since you're coming back, you just have to start participating more."
[22:37] Eliu Meztin exclaims, "Then!"
[22:37] Eliu Meztin exclaims, "After close evaluation!"
[22:37] Eliu Meztin says, "I'll hand this over without a damn to care about."
[22:39] Balam Meztin says, "Fair enough. It holds sentiment to my family so I'll do what it takes to earn it."
[22:39] Eliu Meztin says, "God speed."
 gain nothing from neutrality if we don't use it to improve ourselves and become stronger and more attuned the Great Spirits and our ancestors." He said with a cheeky grin. His sadness fading as he thought of the future of what Moxtli could become and represent.

He drew closer to Eztli as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "I heard you learned a new trick too. Think you could teach an old dog how to use that?" He said while wagging his tail underneath his robes.
