[#012] Ta'Aerazhai's Links
Ra is partner and close confidant to Aerazhai. Regardless of his difficulties in life, he can always find comfort around the wandering behemoth. Ra'khai never judges, it is simply not in their nature. Whatever Aera decides to tell them or not- they respect. The cartographer finds comfort in being understood that way.
Aera is Ra's lighthouse back home. Truth is, after the trauma of war the wanderer did not felt at home anymore. The world was different and so were their views in life. After meeting Aera, he fell infatuated by the smaller ichgor. Even though life takes them far and wide in the world, they always come back, knowing Aera is probably waiting for him, wishing to tell him all about the new places he explored.
Mainaaka is- an experience, really. But after you get in his good side, the vulture can be quite a friendly meeting to have. There are some screws lose, thats for sure.
Mainaaka enjoys the visit of this little guy on his usual swamp trails. He finds the small man cute and sometimes provides gift. They do not see each other often.
That strange mailman that is always running. Ahnka is quite a friendly face and Aera will trust that he is up to good for a change. The mailman insists on getting him drinks- he is- not sure about that last part.
The mailman sometimes crosses Aera's path in his travels. The map maker is nice enough to give him a ride to nearby towns every once in a while. They share stories of the odd things they sometimes find. Though very barebones they have quite the positive friendship.
A mess to be avoided at all costs, Aera is a bit scared of Xyno as a person and concept. The less they know about him, the better.
A trouble in the horizon, this hybrid is a potential threat to Xyno's operations due to who he works with, so, he has instilled Azurha the task to keep a close eye on him.
Aera visits the temple the sentinels lives in often, they hold them on very high regard and deeply enjoys their exchanges. Because of this he sometimes may walk astray of his path simply to pay Kayzah a visit and bring some gifts from abroad.
In his visits to the temple Kayzah is in, he always crosses the monk that may be giving him a bit of a scold for being injured yet again. They are always very gentle with him when they heal him, in his travels sometimes he years for that care.
Nymora is the reason why Aera (and sometimes in extension, Ra) can travel to different territories safely and way more quicker than a skybeast. She is a bit of a tease and has a loud personality, but it is nothing he cant handle.
Aera is a living compass on Nymoras eyes. Sometimes she baits him into the ships with the offer of good many for good passage into territory she is not aware of. If she brings that big partner of his, the better.
Good close friend of Aera, Vherashi's bar is the closest to what he can call a home. He has a lot to thank her for, including being the reason he met his partner Ra. He tries to help in the bar when available and sometimes bring in new clients. He hopes Vherashis bar becomes the best of her town one day, she deserves so.
One of the map makers' friends, which he loves bring back flowers to. A little habit his partner Ra instilled upon them. They do not have much time to catch up, but when they do it is enjoyable for him. He tries his best to expand the floral collection he has with specimens maybe they do not get to see often.
Aerazhai is someone who Toku'Keme holds dear to him. In his young adult years, Toku was an ichgor that needed a friend, needed some form of closeness, and he found Aera. They had a beautiful friendship that made Toku fall for him; he took Aera's hands, kissed and confessed to him. It never worked out due to his friend's paranoia, and Toku's way of thinking. That moment was one of many that made Toku'Keme spiral; it made him remember his mission. Nowadays, Toku enjoys seeing the little alpha on his journeys, catching up with him. Especially when he puts aside flora to gift him. In return, he'll tell Aerazhai if he saw an interesting point of interest so the alpha can chart it on his maps. Toku doesn't often share his secrets with Aera now, and in turn Aera doesn't share his. Toku is comfortable with this; considering their history.
Lindera was a surprise for the mapmaker. A good one. She is the living proof the azvirahn territory has wonderful people in it despite their political circunstances. He loves her food, sometimes even feels a bit guilty eating it all without sharing.
A son or grandson like figure that Lazura has grown extremely fond of as she gets to know him. She thinks Aerazhai is much too small and skinny for his age and that he clearly isn't eating enough. Whenever she has spare time she tries to send him a lot of preserved goods and fresh baked food for easy consumption, along with other goods she thinks he'll like, since she knows he's often on the fringes of society.
Another ichgor that Murai will sometimes pick up on their travels, Aera is someone that Murai spends a fair bit of time with. Even if it is completely by accident. They seem to have a rather comical knack for crossing paths with the cartographer, to the point where they've both made a game out of it. Whoever spots the other first gets rights to draw on the other's notebook. Murai likes the arrangement, it helps to keep them aware of their surroundings as they're constantly keeping an eye out for their friend.
