Gavwen Arajeon

-fingers outstretched to offer the new person a handshake with boundless enthusiasm.

Gav finally sprang back to life, having been bored by Rena's talk of staying put. Now, he was face to face with a new person and the shine came back to his life. He pushed himself forward. "Yup! We certainly are! Are you the person Aro was talking about? Hi, I'm Gav." He shot his arm forward-

- less likely to wander off, talking most of the way about some stories his parents told him. He stopped with a heavy thud in his footsteps when they finally arrived at Teziir. "We have enough for an inn, right?"

"I'll go first! He set up his bed roll and watched as Kerva set hers up. He then sat on a log near the fire, staring out at the woods. It was a long night but he was too energetic to sleep, it wasn't until morning and they set out on foot that it started to really hit him. He was less alert and -

-get supplies when we stopped earlier?" He thought about it. "Eh, I don't mind the grass anyway." He looked back at Aro. "Guess we won't be doing much setting up."

Gav sprang up, a little too fast, a little too excited to be moving after getting glares from Rena. "Sounds like a plan, Aro. We usually just have our rolls but, heh, I think I dropped mine." He looks between Kerva and Rena. ".... I don't see bed rolls on either of you. Did... did you guys get-

-drake. It was eating live stock and we both figured we were ready because it was wounded. Almost bit my head off but then Kerva came out of the sky, hitting it with the biggest lightning bolt I'd ever seen. It's been the three of us ever since."

-looking to help others, always taking jobs. I asked if she could let me come with her, my parents agreed and here we are." To lift Kerva's spirit, he decided to add how they met. Something she skipped over as if what she did wasn't worth mentioning. "One job, Rena and I had to deal with a wounded-

-I've always loved the tales of old heroes. My parents would tell me of them and all they met in their travels. I guess you could say it gave me the itch to get out and see what the world's like beyond a small village surrounded by snow." He adjusted his posture a bit. "Rena showed up one day-

Gav had kept his eyes on Kerva as she spoke, when she was done, he reached over and gave her a reassuring pat on the leg. He slowly turned his attention back to Aro. "Nothing as mystical. Though I do know some magic, not as much as a wizard or sorcery. I prefer the blade." He flashed a big grin. -

-more jobs, more seeing what needs fixing." He leaned back, his arms behind him for support after he had removed the two swords from his waist, leaving the ones on his back. Just in case.

-relaxing as he did. No surprise monsters had shown up. Yet. "We had passed through Westgate and Redwater. Though, I'm sure if Rena had her way, we would have never left. She just kept getting job after job for us to do." He took a seat on the grass next to Kerva. "So, that's what we're doing here-

Gav had been keeping an eye on the woods this entire time when the question snapped him back to the camp and the fire, seeing Kerva had settled, he was glad. "You know, leave home behind for adventure and soon, you're doing jobs here and there, running about." He slowly made his way towards the two-

-inferno behind Aro, which made the knight look more indimiating than the man he was conversing with just moments ago. He understand why Kerva would be a bit on edge. "We're friends here." He reassured her.

-gestrued from Kerva to Aro and back, his shoulders relaxing. "See? Flying beats running through the woo-", he paused, looking over her head, back into the dark woods. "Is Rena playing catch up? Well, we can wait then. You were flying pretty fast and the first is enormously warm." He gestured to-

"Chirps!" Gav hollered to her as she landed, looking her over. He recognized the puffed look from many nights she would wake. He followed her eyes. "Him? They're good. Don't worry. Even got food if you're hungry." Gav calmed down, no more antsy in his movement. "Kerva? Aro. Aro? Kerva." Gav-

-then began pacing once more. "They'll probably be hungry too. If they haven't eaten, they'll love what you made."

-glancing up at the sky, then at the fire, then at the sky again. "Hopefully they show up. You're going to like them. Kerva can be a bit shy but she warms up pretty quick. Rena can be mistaken for being a thousand years old but she's not /that/ grouchy." He stopped pacing to catch his breath-

Gav had to stand back, dusting his hands as the fire grew ten sizes that day. "Wow! Beats me having to cast fireball into the air, for sure." He stood with his hands on his hips for a moment, then he covered his eyes from the brightness the fire brought to the darkened wood. Then he began pacing-

-anything, Rena could track me. She's a pretty powerful druid and Kerva's an Aarakorca. She's got this nice wings under her cloak. She might spot the smoke!"

-the woods once more, still thinking of Kerva, hoping she wouldn't be visited by that voice tonight. "Hold on, Chirps, I'm not far behind. Promise." He muttered to himself before putting on that fun, confident flair he usually approaches every situation with, finally speaking up to Aro. "If-

-for a split second before he turned back to the woods, and back to Aro one last time, replacing the worry with a grin and nod. "Yeah, that can work. I know how to light up a thing or two." He started gathering what he could, the smallest twig to a pile of leaves to place in the fire, looking into-

Gav looked back at Aro, then into the dark wilderness, then back to Aro. There was an antsy bounce in his movement before thinking about it. He wonder what Rena would say, then realized he'd get an ear full for wandering away in the first place. Then, he thought of Kerva and worry flooded his face-

-the dark woods, confident yet completely out of his depth. Just a normal tike, traveling with Gav. His only hope was that Rena and Kerva were looking for him as well. "I'm sure it will be fine."

Gav was at a loss. He saw where he emerged from, pointing. "Well, that way but...." he paused, looking up at the sky, then back to the woods stretched out before them, squinting into the dark. "Is that South? Or East?" He looked between the trees, shrugging. "This way it is." He stepped back into-

- stretch, setting his light armor back in place. "Plus Rena worries like an old hen. Proudly, I might add."

"An offering from a knight? How can I refuse!" Gav jumped up to his feet, swords in hand as he strapped them back on one by one. "Plus there's a friend I need to get back to. She has-" He paused. He was rambling a little. "-night terrors and it is late." He finished, standing with a-

-painted across his face, giving the knight his full attention now.

-while." He grinned a grin with his teeth covered in food bits before he finished the last of the food off the plate. "I'm an adventurer. The open roads my prize." He pat his stomach. "A charge, huh? Like a quest? Like something the heroes of the old tales did?" There was a wide eyed fascination-

He took another big bite, breathing in through his nose. "I'm traveling with two friends but we sort of got separated at the moment." He let himself swallow. "This is really good, by the way." He took another bite. "I'm used to Rena's cooking so it's nice to try something different every once in a-
