Timestamp: 8th Day of Summer, 513

The summer sun was nice and high in the clear, sapphire blue sky, and there was a small breeze blowing across the Sea of Grass, and through the tent city of Endrykus. This meant that there where a few people out and about, trading with each other, getting supplies that they needed, conducting business and, in Fox's case at least, getting in some training.

He stepped forward, his right foot making a slight crescent movement, in towards his left foot, and out and up again to be in front. His right hand moved forward and, with a double hip twist, his scimitar found it's mark on the training post, and he quickly stepped back and raised his shield as the arm of the training dummy swung at him. The blow glanced off his shield. Then, ducking under his shield, he brought his weapon up again, towards the target. He kept this drill up for a couple of minutes, and then sat on the low wall of logs to take a drink from his waterskin. There may have been a breeze, but it still didn't mean he should ignore his first lesson. "Always remember, no matter how cool the day, no matter if it's a cold night in the middle of winter, or a boiling hot summer day, always, ALWAYS keep drinking, especially while training. You don't want to get dehydrated and die. In Endrykus or the pavilion, it's not much of a threat, dying of the elements, but out there, in the Sea of Grass and beyond, you may not have the luxary of having someone nearby who can save you if you make that one, yet surpisingly common mistake" his father, Khanti, had told him when he was younger.

The begining of a beautiful friendship {Mihiya Darkmane}

Dark eyes, dark hair, dark skin, dark and heavy heart, that about summed up the Drykas female adolescent who wove between the people who milled about, trading and bartering and what not. At her hip, she wore a shortsword. Though she hardly knew how to use it, she kept it with her anyway. It was better to be ill prepared, she figured, than not prepared at all.

Komali was at home today, the dun mare and whickered and whinnied as Mihiya had signaled good bye in Pavi, but after awhile returned to her grazing. She was looking a bit ragged, all the riding that Mihiya had been doing.

Mihiya's hair was woven into a simple braid once again, a purple strand woven into it. Her bright shirt allowed any to see her to note that she was a member of the Ameythst Clan. Mihiya, like many of her clan, was a fair rider and would be a great horsewoman someday. She planned on breeding Komali when she returned from Eyktol, though with her uncertain planning, who knew when that could be. She hadn't even made a date to leave yet. She wanted to be better at hunting and fighting.

So caught up in her thought processes was she that she only just managed to not run into the man taking a swig from his waterskin. He appeared to have been training. She stepped back from him.

"My apologies, sir,"she spoke, Not paying attention, thinking too much her signals indicated as she fluidly addressed the man.

"What are you doing?" she asked, hardly giving the man time to react before she posed her next question, curiosity getting the best of the girl.

Fox looked at the girl and smiled warmly. "You are excused" he said. Deep in thought? he signed. He took in her fetures. Her skin was darker then most in Endrykus, yet, some of her features where starngely Drykus in nature. Having been in Endrykus his whole life, he had come to recognise some of the subtle features that set all the races, even the human subraces, apart. She was, to him, exotic and beautiful. "I'm training, practicing with my knew scimitar" he said. "I'm Fox. And you are?" he asked. You're not a full Drykus are you? he signed.

The girl smiled back at the man, his warm gaze helping her to relax. Yes, deep in thought, thinking about learning things. "I hope I didn't disturb you?" she added aloud, her dark eyes examining the man who held the sword. He was practicing fighting was he? Her eyes lit at the prospect. Perhaps she could learn from him...would that be rude to ask? Best get to know the man better first and then see if she could learn from him.

"I am not," she replied out loud, not at all offended by the question. Her dark coloration often raised that question, for though Drykas did not have a set identity, she was darker than many and had other features that set her apart from the Horseclan people, "My father was Chaktawe." Not fully human, either. Her words were emphasized by the dropping of her second eyelids. She raised them and then shrugged, "Someone once told me our differences make us strong."

"Are you good with the sword?" Mihiya asked, gesturing at it. This would be a good way to start the conversation in the direction she desired it to go.
