Farim stood in the park, watching his dear friend run off in a moment of excitement, shock, and bewilderment. Most of the crowd had wondered what just happened, and Farim felt a slight concern creep in the back of his mind. [color=D2691E][i]Perhaps I went too far. It was the proper way to end the dance, but I forget I am not home amongst my people.[/i][/color] He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, but he quickly shrugged it off and walked over to his brother. He made sure to grab his saber from the ground where it had been stuck earlier and inspected its blade. A quick wipe along its edge had removed any dirt or debris, followed by a flick of his wrist to sheath the blade.

[color=D2691E]”My brother, that was a lovely tune you just played. I hope that Saiya’s rapid departure does not discourage you. I think I may have…. ‘given her the willies’ as they may say here.”[/color] He paused for a moment before seeing an armor-clad woman rapidly approach him. He prepared himself for the worst but the woman stopped just a foot short of Farim as he turned to face her. The woman gave a quick bow before speaking abruptly. [color=darkgreen] “Pardon me, Shehzadi, I mean you no harm or offense. I wish to relay a message from Her Highness Princess Anastasia!”[/color] A brief pause would follow as Farim gently nodded towards the woman. [color=darkgreen] “She simply wishes to inform you that she is going to be attending to an important matter and wishes to ‘hang out with you and your family later’!” [/color] The woman gave a strong salute before running off in the direction she came from.

Farim turned towards his brother with a coy smile. [color=D2691E] “So…looks like I have a date for the family dinner tonight! What have you been up to brother?”[/color]

Dali still gazed at the direction Saiye had just disappeared into. He had not the slightest of clues what had gone wrong for her to be running as quick as she had. The music had taken him into his own headspace.  One where no one and nothing could pull him out of, once he got the vibe in his soul. 

He turned to his brother, who received an invitation of some sort from the princess. Dali could not help but grin' that grin' at his brother. You know the one, when a brother has a teasing thought about the other, and their gazes are enough to convey the words, without speaking. His brother worked fast as always. 
[color=007236] "Inshallahs, brother. A princess of the green shores. She must be a great beauty to have caught your eye" [/color] Dali said as the messenger was far out of sight. 
[color=007236]" I have been up to my usual Shtick my brother. The wind blew me there and here, seeking those who need my help without knowing it. Life has been blessed my brother, Inshallahs, Inshallahs. The gods are good" [/color] Dali clapped his hands together before touching the center of his head in quick prayer. 
[color=007236]" and now I am here. Maybe I am here to seek out new lands and learn more about the world. Or maybe I am here to flee from fathers sight. Either way, both reasons are good reasons to sail half a world away" [/color] Dali spoke and patted his brother on the back.
[color=007236]"and perhaps on my travels, the gods will reveal the other half of me they created. I am searching for that person still. And I trust the gods will guide me to them. So if you know of any one suitable, that can handle the way I am, do let me know" [/color] Dali said with a wink. He twirled his flute in his hands for a bit, before putting it away 
[color=007236]"Inshallahs, brother, can you show me around? This place is as strange a place as it can get" [/color] 

Farim took a few moments to think about the few faces he had seen. He compared that with what he remembered of his brother and had little luck finding someone immediately that came to mind. But he kept that same smile as he addressed Dali. [color=D2691E] “Brother, as for want of women, you will find plenty here who may pique your interest. Though if you are looking to avoid father’s gaze well….keep walking because that man is very much up everyone’s ass at the moment.” [/color] He stifled a chuckle before bringing an arm over Dali’s shoulder and walking off with him in tow.

Farim took the time to show his brother around the park, stopping at various stalls to see if his interest would rise to the various games and food displayed. [color=D2691E] “Good to know you are well. Right now the festival here in the park seems to be closing up, lots of food and stalls to visit really quick if you would like. I personally was looking to run by the bazaar over to the south to find a pretty piece of jewelry for that same friend of mine you just heard me talk about. Maybe the gods will bring someone close to you and grant you this chance to find your other half!” [/color] He optimistically spoke as they began to make their way towards the bazaar.

[color=007236]"At least father is not breathing in my neck to behave myself. His idea how a spiritual man should live, is so very different from my free spirited one" [/color] Dali joked with much delight. It always felt so good to poke his father behind his back. It was a sin, yes. But he was human, and no one was fully without sin. 

[color=007236]"Inshallas brother. If my other half is here, I will find them for sure." [/color] Dali did not specify on gender here. For all it was worth, he did keep it on a low profile he did not care whom he met. Male or female. Perhaps Farim knew, perhaps not. But Dali rather not stir the sand dunes without a good reason to do so. 

[color=007236]"Dear friend" [/color] Dali raised an eyebrow and grinned at his brother. [color=007236]" I never knew you to be one to spend money on frivolous gifts for lady friends " [/color] Dali hummed and tilted his head to the side. Now he had gotten really curious about this princess. [color=007236]"Let us head to the bazaar then. Perhaps the wind will guide me towards a neat trinket or two." [/color] 

Farim couldn’t help but become slightly bashful at Dali’s remark. He was being rather forward with someone he had just met. Maybe it was something in the air, or perhaps Farim was looking for some adventure. He could hardly say at the moment, but for now he did what he wanted…which was to find some fine jewelry for his new friend. As they approached the bazaar, there was plenty of noise and hustle amidst the ever-shifting crowd of merchants, peddlers, con artists, and bystanders. He took a moment to size up the folks, the stalls, their wares, and quickly let a grin creep along his cheeks.

[color=D2691E] “Come brother, let us find a few baubles, trinkets, and whatever else these folks may try to swindle us with. I trust you will find something for your…[i]partner[/i].” [/color] He spoke with a slight inflection at the end, knowing full well the meaning behind it. His brother wasn’t exactly open about his affairs but Farim could tell when someone was “shopping in multiple booths” as he would put it. Not that he minded. Quite the opposite, he had all the care in the world for his brother so he opted to keep it to himself aside from the rare tease here and there.

Farim and Dali walked together from shop to shop, stopping at a few places, and letting Dali pick out whatever he may desire for himself or for another. It wasn’t until their third stall that he saw many interesting items for sale. This particular [img]https://i.imgur.com/ICXz4Aa.png[/img] shopkeep seemed to have an air of honesty to her, and she watched with interest as each person came to her with questions about her wares. Farim took the time to look over the various items she had, nothing really catching his eye immediately. Then he spotted [img]https://i.imgur.com/bGkILMg.png[/img] an enchanting necklace in the shape of a crescent moon with a bright aquamarine inspired gem resembling a full moon nested against it. He let loose a slowly building whistle before beckoning his brother over. 

[color=D2691E] “What do you think of this, eh? Pretty good for some random shop in the middle of Caessonia!” [/color] He carefully lifted the necklace from its resting spot to show it off to Dali.

[color=007236]"It shimmers like the moon itself. Its craftsmanship is obvious to even my untrained eye." [/color] Dali complimented the price of jewelry. He had no real need for more precious jewelry. His golden headband with a fluorite droplet was all he needed. That one was special to him. A gift from his teacher. 

[color=007236]"Will this be your gift to your new dear friend, my brother?" [/color] he asked as he pulled his bag back up his shoulder. The only thing he had bought here had been spices and dried foods. He was curious to try them out. And lowkey, he was looking out for any ' nose spices' and tobacco. Just to pass the time. 

He was not too sure how many people would be blown upon his path these coming days. But he wanted to be able to get as high as a kite if no one here wished to hang out with him. Seeing the gods and their many colors was one way to pass the time pleasantly. 

[color=007236]"Inshallas brother. If this is for your dear friend, her beauty must be unmatched." [/color] Dali teased his brother again. It had been too long since they were able to playfully jab at one another like this. To tease one another when a pretty girl waved at them, back when they were young. How flustered they would get before one of them eventually teased the other for staring too long. 

Farim could feel a slight warmth in his face as his brother teased him. The one person who he would act so sheepish around would be Dali, as he batted his hand and laughed. [color=D2691E] “Brother, you flatter me! She is a princess mind you! I doubt she will find that much fancy in a trader like myself…” [/color] He would trail off and motion towards the woman who owned the small tent they were in. He gave the woman the price upfront, no questions asked, and even threw in a few extra pieces of gold for good measure. He watched Dali do the same with a few ingredients and “special” spices of his, smirking as they exited the tent.

[color=D2691E] “Dali, it was wonderful seeing you and getting a few moments together. I truly have missed you. Sadly, I must run off for now, as I have quite a few small things to take care of before dinner tonight. And of course, I hope to see you there! I hear they invited some lovely woman who will likely be preyed on by our sisters and get this…a man who made our father look like a fool in front of the entire royal court! Oh what I would pay to see that man fall from his little throne of his.” [/color] Farim couldn’t help but smile at the image now in his mind.

However he did have a few things to see. He had heard of a “Lover’s Lake” that sounds like the perfect solitary spot to have some peace and quiet, as well as a swordplay competition should he feel the need to watch some captivating performances. He thought for a moment, looked to Dali, and extended a hug before speaking into his ear. [color=D2691E] “Inshallah, my brother. I have some….new imports from the West. I will set up my hookah one of these days and perhaps we can [i]really[/i] catch up on our adventures. But for now, may the winds guide you.” [/color] Farim chuckled and with a final wave began walking off towards the arena, where in that split second he figured he could watch some fun swordplay.
