It took a few moments for Fendros to answer. He looked away in thought, almost just declaring that Ahnasha's family didn't have control over, because she was an adult now, unlike before she left. Fendros thought better of it this time; Ahnasha already had an independent spirit, which meant that perhaps there was something to this family that he couldn't know without meeting them.

"Very well, Ahna," Fendros leaned in and put a hand around her head, pulling her in to kiss on the cheek. He stood up and spoke more clearly, "We're going to be here for a while longer, I think. You can always change your mind until then. I'll see you later." Fendros walked out and almost closed the door behind him. Before doing so, he leaned his head through again. "Love you," he smiled, before walking out.

To say that Fendros convinced Kaleeth and Janius to take care of Newt for a while would imply that there was any persuasion at all. At this point, lending the children between the two couples was becoming routine. Neither Newt nor Rhazii had seen Leyawiin as far as they could remember, and they were keen so see something other than the ship and the water.

Leyawiin was how Fendros remembered it; Imperial and prim, but tropical and with many puddles and mud patches. Fendros' work was cut out preventing Rhazii and Newt from happily splashing in too many of them. If they were tracking too much mud, then no store would allow them inside. All in all, there wasn't an awful lot to see without knowing what to look for. Fendros decided to take the children on a short walk before heading to the temple to find Ahnasha's family. He took the time to try and formulate a contrivance for wandering in. He wasn't clear on what they would actually sell there.

The temple, iconic as their designs always were, was not difficult to find. Just as Ahnasha specified, a store was opposite the temple's doors across the cobblestone street. Like the others around it, it was a two-story building with a sharply angled roof. On the sign above the door was written: [i]Tiger Lily Trader.[/i] That was odd...Ahnasha had called it [i]Topal Goods and Trade.[/i] Perhaps they moved or had a name change? Fendros decided to walk in anyway. If it wasn't Ahnasha's family, perhaps they would know where they had moved to.
