Profile
T'rhika grew up in a quaint coastal village. While most of the residents were fishermen, they were a diverse community due to the village's location as a frequent stopover for travelers. As such, T'rhika was exposed to a myriad of cultures, stories, and traditions from a young age.
His parents were simple folks. His father, a seasoned fisherman, taught him the ways of the sea, while his mother, a storyteller, filled his nights with tales of faraway lands and epic romances. They were a close-knit family, but even from a young age, T'rhika felt the call of adventure. The tales of his mother and the stories from passing travelers ignited a wanderlust in him.
In his late teens, T'rhika decided to embark on a journey, to see some of the places from his mother's tales and to carve out a story of his own. His travels eventually brought him to India, a land of vibrant colors, aromatic spices, and diverse cultures.
It was in a bustling coastal town that he first saw Adrian. Adrian was performing a traditional Indian dance at a local festival. His graceful movements, the jingling of his ankle bells, and the passion in his eyes had T'rhika mesmerized. The dance told a story, and T'rhika felt every emotion conveyed by Adrian's movements.
The flustered mess that T'rhika was, he attempted many conversations with Adrian. Most of which were mumbles and stutters, Adrian found it rather charming and sweet. Thus the two became quite close, Adrian even hiring T'rhika. Adrian's dance troupe often hosted grand dinners after their performances, and fresh seafood was always in demand. T'rhika began supplying fresh catch for these events, blending his love for fishing with his growing affection for Adrian.
Their partnership wasn't just professional. As days turned into months, the bond between them deepened, leading to a blossoming relationship. Adrian introduced T'rhika to the nuances of Indian culture, while T'rhika shared stories of the sea and his adventures. The two became inseparable.
