NIJURA ~ Mysteries of the world (mik3la & Sathenus) +18

[mik3la]

It was the summer before the second year of college and Sebastian wanted to have some time off school and away of all the college drama. He loved nature and doing extreme sports, either alone or with friends. This time it was with friends. He and other 2 guys decided to do a hiking on the nearest forest which was crossed by a clear blue river. 

All set and done. That morning they drove as close as they could for the river and took their tiny boat setting it on the river. It was a beautiful sunny day which was just perfect for the fun. It didn't took them long to hop on and sail on the steady water. 

Wind was blowing cooling the heat of the sun, birds were chirping, air was fresh. Everything was perfect. What could go wrong. 
Sadly, his friend took a wrong turn and ended up on a side of the river which was full of stones and different obstacles. They tried to keep the boat on the course and get themselves out of there but the river had other plans for them. In a swirling moment as the boat spinned, they hit a rock which throw them out of the boat. 

The power of the rivers pushed them apart, making difficult for Sebastian to keep himself at the surface. 
The waves pushed him further down the river road, and in the whole mess and tries to keep his lungs filled with air, he hit one of the rocks and hit his head. And there was black.

Morning in the village came just like any other day, the sounds of the birds and local monkeys moving in the canopy above waking the village below. Taio was happy to go about his usual business in the village, currently sitting in one of the huts and working to sew a new piece of clothing together. He had been working on the garment for the past couple days and didn't like the idea of settling for anything less than perfection so he didn't mind taking his time. Working on it for a few hours in the morning every day until he finally finished it. Their tribe was much different than most would think, there weren't any woman in it at all. A tribe made up of only men meant that they all had roles like sewing, gathering fresh drinking water, hunting and watching over the children.

 

Taio didn't mind very much, even when he was on duty to watch the children he didn't mind. There never were very many children in the tribe at one time and once they were seven they began to learn different skills and start helping out which meant they were no longer watched by whoever was in charge of the children that day but a tutor who could show and teach them the necessary skills to contribute to the village. Aside from working on his garment the only task Taio had today was to gather more water from the river. It was around noon when he decided he had worked long enough and got up gathering the baskets he'd need to transport the water he made his way towards the river.

 

Everything about today had been so routine that he didn't expect it to be any different when he reached the river. So he was surprised when he had knelt down to fill one of the buckets and had caught sight of something that was definitely very strange. Taio couldn't for the life of him figure out what the item was but it seemed to be a piece of something bigger and this caused him to look around the area. It was then that he noticed a man on the bank of the river seemingly unconscious. Hesitantly Taio moved closer and once he was sure that the man wasn't just sleeping and checked to see that he wasn't dead he tried to figure out how he ended up here. His skin tone was different than anything he had ever seen before and so were his clothes. Nothing about this man was familiar, if anything it was just more and more confusing. One thing he did know was that he couldn't just leave him here, but he couldn't just not get the water he needed either. Unless he came back to do the later after taking care of this strange man. Finally deciding what to do Taio set to work weaving some thin bendy branches together with some leaves to make it easier to move the man, when it was finished he pulled the stranger onto it and used it to make taking him back to town much easier. Taio wasn't surprised that their appearance in the village had caused quite a stir and after some discussion he was given the okay to move him into a hut. They had cleared it out of anything but a bed of leaves which he was given help putting the stranger on and a little table.

 

He had to leave once more to finish his chore and recover the water he had originally went to collect when he had discovered the strange man but when he returned he settled in the hut. Getting a fire started in the pit in the middle and heating up some water so he could wash and wrap the cuts that the man had sustained. Many of the others didn't like that there was a stranger in their village but Taio wasn't the kind of person to just turn his back on someone. It had taken him some convincing just for the chief to agree to let him treat the unconscious man. While he understood their hesitation of a stranger he hoped that their dislike was just fear of the unknown and that this man wouldn't give the village anymore of a reason to not want him here. The whispers going through the village were fear of more appearing now that this man had arrived but Taio thought it was nonsense. This was the first time and stranger had ever appeared here and he didn't see it happening more often just because one man happened upon their part of the river.

Bash didn’t know what happened all that time. He was in a deep see of darkness before he managed to get control of his body and open his eyes slowly, groaning as the bump in his head was still hurting. Blinking a few time to get adjusted with the light in the room he lifted his hand to rub it against his eyes, feeling his head hurt.

“Jesus guys …. That was a hell of a ride” he said trying to make a joke and get up, but the jolt in his head made him fall back on the bed, rubbing his forehead. “What the hell happened man? My head still hurt like hell” he said running his hand through his hair as he took a deep breath sighing, before he turned his head and saw a complete odd stranger which made him frown.

“W-Who are you … argh” he said moving too quickly sitting up in bed that his head hurt even more making him groan. He kept his distance as possible in that little bed, looking around the room, noticing that nothing seemed familiar to neither the place where they were staying nor a hospital of some sort. They have a fucking fire inside the house?!

“W-Where am I? What is this place? Who are you?” he asked again trying not to sound to afraid even if he was. He just woke up in a strange place with a half naked guy in the room that looked nothing like any normal one. His clothes were strange which only made him think that maybe this was a prank or something because he couldn’t believe that this person was a savage. They weren’t true. That was a myth. He read about those in school but they were only story. No one ever saw one before so this was impossible.

 

[Sathenus]

Seeing the stranger's eyes begin to flutter before opening was a good sign. Rail had thought for a moment that despite him being alive now that he may not actually make it if he didn't wake up soon. He wasn't sure how long the man had been uunconscious for when he had found him but it was quite some time later that he was finally showing signs of life. While that was a great sign confusion appeared when the man spoke, Taio not understanding a single word of what was said. Because he didn't understand Taio decided it was best to just not respond and instead he moved to wet the clothe he had been using to clean the mans wounds again and continue his work.

Suddenly the man was sitting up really fast seemingly alarmed by his surroundings. There was a soft huff from Taio at the reaction feeling as though this was one of the nicer huts in the village, even if it was also one of the smaller ones. Then he realized that the reaction probably had less to do with the hut itself and more to do with the man coming to in a strange place. At least that made him feel a little better about the stranger's reaction to his surroundings.

Since it was obvious that there was a language barrier Taio tried to get his point across simply by raising his hands to show the stranger he meant him no harm. Then he pointed back to the bed as he spoke hoping that it'd help the stranger understand what he was trying to say since he definitely had no idea what the man had said. "You should lay back down." Taio hadn't finished cleaning all the sounds yet and he could tell by the bumps on the others head that he probably shouldn't be moving around much right now. There would be other chances for the man to get up and see things but now wasn't the time for that.

Honestly, Taio didn't feel that it'd be a good time for that for awhile. Because he didn't understand what the man had said he didn't realize or know that he had been on the river with friends and was now clearly separated from them. While Taio could see the fear from the man he felt that it was unnecessary. He hadn't done anything that warranted that kind of response and didn't really understand why the stranger may feel that way.

[mik3la]

The whole situation was crazy. He couldn't understand what had happened and how he landed there. And most of all the strange guy in front of him wasn't helping him at all by not talking. His head hurt and made him dizzy and now that he was trying to think about what happened he was slowly remember. What he was remembering was that he was on a boat with other people and they got dragged by the rivers curents and smashed in a stone. After that was all blank. Looking at the guy, who was now lifting his hands in the air, and by the place he was in, the only thing that he could think about it was that the man rescued him. 

Confusion ran through him and worry about the other people that were with him but right now he had to figure out where he was. As the other was gesturing him the bed he looked a little confused but kind of understand what he was talking about. "I'm fine now" he tried to explained to the other even if it wasn't true. Is not that he didn't appreciated the help, but he had to go back home and make sure the others were safe. 

"I'm .. he pointed at himself ... Am ok," he gestured with his hand hopping the other would understand. is he mute or deaf? How can i comunicate with this guy...my phone, he thought as he checked his jeans pockets only to find his phone dead , probably because of the water. hugh ... waterpruf phone my ass, he thought sighing running a hand through his hair but the bump kicked him again making him groan. 

"Guess i'm not ok after all" he sigh looking at the strange man, moving closer to him, sitting on the edge. Even if he wasn't trusting him, he decide to give him a try, but be careful. He lifted his arm where he had a scratch, looking at the man, pointing with his eyes the cloth and his arm. 

"Thank you" he said shortly making a small bow slowly with his head, hopping that the other would understand. 

[Sathenus]

It was clear by the look that crossed Taio's face that he still couldn't for the life of him figure out what the man was saying. He was trying, his brain working overtime to try to find some connection between what the man was saying and their own language. It was just so... different! There were sounds that went into the words this stranger was saying that he had never heard before. Sitting there he watched as the man tried again saying a word before pointing to himself and continuing to speak followed by another hand gesture. It wasn't hard for Taio to realize the man was trying to get his words across to him and while Taio finally thought he may be getting what the man was trying to say he was distracted and confused again when he spoke this time not making any such motion. What was clear was that he apparently didn't want to lay back down on the bed despite it being in his best interest.

Taio pointed to the man's head and then to the bed before he spoke again, "Lay down." Though he wasn't being mean in his own words he was making it clear this wasn't a question or really a suggestion but him telling the stranger to do so. The man had pulled out some device from a space in his clothes and at first Taio's response was to lean away not knowing what it was but seeing that it seemed to not be working he leaned a little closer to look at what this item was. It was so strange, so foreign unlike anything he had ever seen before and anything that they had in the village. While he was thinking about this item that the man definitely didn't seem to see wasn't working he hadn't been paying attention to the stranger running a hand through his hair until he heard him groaning again. Eyes snapping up from the device to the other man who again seemed to be trying to convey something to him. Watching as he moved closer to him sitting on the edge of the makeshift bed.

The man lifted his arm where there was a scratch that he hadn't gotten to cleaning yet and then looked to the damp cloth in his hand. Taio seemed to understand at least enough to dip the cloth into the warm water and ring it out a little before he reached out to clean the cut. There was clear dirt around it and he didn't want the man he had saved from the river to end up getting an infection. As he was doing this he heard the man speak again and bowing his head a little. This seemed to be enough for Taio to understand that he was thanking him a smile appearing on his face for the first time since the stranger had woken up. Instead of trying to speak he nodded to show he understood it enough and continued cleaning up the wounds he had access too even the smaller ones.

After Taio had finished cleaning the other man's wounds he gathered the bowl of water and the cloth and moved to get up so that he could go about his other business and get the man something to drink and something to eat. He was sure the man was hungry or at the very least thirsty. Reaching the entrance to the hut he stopped long enough to turn around and face the man putting a hand up to motion that he needed to stay there in the hut before he was leaving to take care of the items. While he had gotten permission for the man to be in the village he wasn't sure that they'd be as happy if he started wandering around the village.

[mik3la]

Bash looked the entired time at the man cleaning his wounds and bandaging him. He didn't had a strange feeling of whatsoever in reggards with the guy so it should be okay in relaxing around him. At least he was the one who saved him and he had to show him gratitude. But he couldn't stop thinking about the others that were with him. But giving the stated he personally was, he was in no condition in to be looking for others. He just hopped for the best. 

As the guy had finished and got up he looked worried. Worried of being left alone, worried that maybe this place was full of savages and he was going to get eaten by him. jesus fucking christ ...calm the fuck down ... if they wanted to eat you they would have done it from the begining. He took a deep breath looking at the man that was standing at the door pointin him to stay. He frowned and gestured with his hand in the air to make him stop. 

"My name is Bash....he tried to introduce himself so that he could get a name in reture from the other, hopefully. He wanted to know the name of his saviour, plus, the guy was the only person he knew.

"Me ... pointing at him ... Bash .... you?" he asked pointing towards the guy hopping that he was going to understand. why do i feel like jane meeting tarzan right now??? Mending his voice he tried again. 

"Me Bash ... you?" he poined again and himself when saying his name and back at the guy waiting for a name, something, anything. 

[Sathenus]

The fear he saw in the other's eyes as he got up to leave or rather panic was very clear and it made him give the man a small smile trying to reassure him. Even if the rest of the tribe wasn't necessarily happy he was here they wouldn't harm him without a reason. Just being an outsider wasn't enough of one, especially if he just stayed in the hut for now until they could all get used to the idea of his presence. When he had stopped and pointed to make sure he understood he was to stay here the man responded in a surprising way. Seeming to want him to stay even if only for a moment longer. Shifting the bowl he was holding to rest in the crook of his arm he leaned against the entrance to the hut a little to see just what this stranger was going to do. Taio had to admit that he was extremely curious about this man and any opportunity he had to figure out more about him and maybe where he came from was just to good to pass up.

This stranger was speaking again and again Taio understood none of it. He gave the man another curious look just not getting what he was trying to say. It seemed he understood though since the man was trying again saying a word and pointing at himself before saying another, then he was pointing to him and silence followed. Taio tried to figure it out and had even moved to sit back down in front of the man who was doing it again. It was at that point that Taio realized the word Bash must be the man's name. He was intrigued at the idea of being able to learn more from this man. Setting the bowl in his lap he pointed at the man, "Bash." He repeated the word the best he could. It felt odd to say and he wasn't sure how he felt about it. But if this was a way to communicate then it was worth giving a try.

Then he pointed back to himself and figured the man was trying to figure out what to call him. "Taio." He spoke his own name clearly. Despite learning each other's names though he knew it wasn't like they'd magically be able to understand each other. This was just a way to refer to each other they still had a long way before they could actually communicate. To measure sure he got it down though he said it again. "Bash." Pointing once more to the man, "Taio." He finished pointing to himself. Hoping that Bash was able to understand in return. It was a good start for sure and while Taio was excited and eager to learn more there was still things he had to do.

He couldn't just spend all day with Bash even if he was intrigued and eager. So despite how much he wanted to keep talking to him... Or trying to talk to him as it was better put he had to leave. Getting up again he pointed once more to signal for him to stay, "Bash." He said making it clear that he was the one to stay. With that he moved to leave again once more gathering the bowl and cloth. Still wanting to get Bash some food and water before anyone could distract him with something else.

[mik3la]

Seeing the confusion in the others eyes he sigh giving up. He tried but apparently the language barrier was going to be a big problem. He blinked a few times when the other sat in front of him and put the bowl of watter in his lap as the other spoke. It was strange to hear his voice. It was a nice one. He smiled as he nodded, wanting the other to understand that he was happy that he understood.

"Taio" he said shortly with a soft smile. "that's a pretty name" he said more to himself. 

Fallowing the other as he got back up and said his name again and pointed to stay, which made him smile again and nodding. Sitting back on the bed, he layed down and closed his eyes as he waited for the other to come back. Maybe there was a possibility to understand each other even if it sounded like he was part of a movie. It was interesting. 

[Sathenus]

Since it seemed like the other man was going to listen and stay in the hut Taio felt a lot better about leaving him there. Returning to his normal duties in the village and finishing up the things he had needed to do before he had found Bash on the riverbed. His mind was racing while he went about his work though, remembering how the stranger had woken up and talked. It made it seem as if he hadn't been alone and that caused Taio to question where the other's had ended up. This wasn't a very forgiving river and it still went on for many miles. It was safe to say that if Bash really had been travelling with other people that there was no way to know where they would have ended up. They could be further down river, or they could be on a whole different section of the river by now since the river to break off into other smaller rivers. Though just because they were smaller didn't necessarily mean they were better than the main river either. It wasn't a very friendly place in general, the river, or the surrounding forests. There were some dangerous animals out there, not to mention many other dangers.

Shaking his head Taio tried not to think about that. His concern was for the village and the man he had found. He'd help him get better and hope that his presence here didn't bring more strangers. Knowing that the village definitely would not be okay with that discovery or being discovered. They had lived many centuries in this spot, just as it was now undisturbed. The chief had made it plain and clear that he did not under any circumstances want that to change. Taio had assured him helping one stranger wouldn't change that, but he didn't necessarily know that for sure either. There he went again, falling into thoughts and not paying attention to what he should be doing. Like getting Bash some food and water, it had been awhile since he had left and while Taio had managed to stay busy he had forgotten that their guest still needed his attention.

Gathering some food and water he returned to the hut, at first peaking in to see if the other man was awake or not. Not wanting to wake him if he was sleeping since he was sure that he had to be exhausted. It was odd though Taio could find it a bit funny, how the other villagers seemed to be avoiding this hut like they'd die if they went anywhere near it. In the end it was for the best, Taio didn't know how well Bash would respond to so many new and strange people nor did he know how many of the others would respond to someone so strange and different as Bash.

[mik3la]

Sebastian managed to fall asleep as soon as the other left and he layed down. He was tired or better said his body needed recovery. The tricky part was that he had a light sleep and would wake up whenever he would hear a strange noise. And since he knew now where he was and his senses where high, he woke up looking around when he heard a little sound, only to find Taio in the doorway. 

"Taio" he said smiling with a tired voice as he lifted up in bed, leaning on the hut wall. His eyes moved to what the other brought him. "You brought food and water" he said surprised looking at the food licking his lips unconsciously, biting his lower lip. He lifted his eyes back at the guy and bowed his head in the thank you gesture, taking first the water, as he felt his mouth dry. 

[Sathenus]

A smile appeared on Taio's face when he heard the other's voice. Bash sitting up and greeting him, which definitely made him feel better for disturbing him. Even if it was to bring him food and water which the other seemed surprised but grateful for him bringing. Handing the other man the water since it seemed that was what he wanted first. Taio bowed his own head in return to acknowledge that Bash had thanked him for the food and water. Setting the food down in the bed beside the other so that he could start eating when he was ready. Then he turned to the fire to make sure it wouldn't go out adding some more wood to it. Missing sure it wasn't too much so not to make the hut too hot or smokey.

While Bash was eating Taio left to gather a few more items for the man. Including a jaguar porky to use as a blanket a bucket of water so he had fresh water through the coming night, a change of clothes... or more like a set of their clothing so he could change out of his dirty clothes, and restocked the wood supply for the hut. It took him a few trips for everything but Taio didn't mind. Wanting to make sure that the other would have everything he needed for a comfortable night. Taio had no idea of knowing how long Bash would be with them but he knew that he definitely wouldn't be leaving tonight. In his opinion the village may as well just consider him a new member of the tribe.

[mik3la]

As he ate, trying not to chocke on the food, he looked at Taio that had made multiple turns back and forth of the hut. Either to make the fire steady, bringing him a blanket which was odd but he wasn't going to comment on the others hospitality. What did made him chocke was the clothes that the other brought him to change into. Not much of clothes actually. He blushed a little looking at them and back at Taio, taking a sip of the water mending his voice. 

"This .... pointed to the clothes ... are for me?" he then pointed at himself, trying to make sure if he had to change into them. Not to say that they were awfull or dirty, no, but they were not clothes. As he looked at thme, they were barely covered much of his body. 

"Oh ... ok" he took a deep breath biting his lower lip being a little stressed on how he will be more naked than dressed but given the fashion the other was also wearing, Bash thought that those were the kind of clothes they were wearing. Plus, his own clothes were ripped and not much good either. 

Standing up he started to undo his shirt to dress up, staying with his back to Taio. It wasn't that much of an embarassment or anything. They were both guys after all, so he was fine with changing with him in the room. 

[Sathenus]

Taio nodded when Bash had pointed at the clothes then to himself to indicate they were for him to wear. At least that was an easy conversation. Bash seeming to already know that the clothes were navy for him since he was getting up a moment later. Taio was curious why the man had his back to him he undressed but didn't comment. Knowing the other wouldn't understand what he was saying anyway. The tribe wasn't shy about their bodies, there was a beauty they all saw and enjoyed admiring in the male figure. So he had a hard time understanding or even realizing that Bash may not feel the same way about their clothes as the tribe did. They saw them as normal, covered enough but not too much to be restricting. Not to mention Taio loved being able to admire the other men of the tribe and he wasn't unaware and was flattered by any such looks aimed to him.

When Bash had finished changing Taio may have starred for a little too long. But he couldn't help it, the stranger had a nice body one that would surely gain attention. Even if he was oddly pale which the clothes only seemed to emphasize. While the color paired nicely with the tanned skin of the tribe they were a striking contrast to the stranger's pale skin. Yet... Taio still find it oddly appealing. He hoped that Bash wasn't too uncomfortable with the lack of clothes compared to what he clearly normally wore. Taio certainly appreciated the difference and felt that Bash would be able to blend in with the tribe much better now.

Despite knowing that Bash wouldn't understand him he had to express to the other how he liked the look. "You look great like this." He said with a warm smile. Hoping that if nothing else the smile would portray that he was saying something nice. And yet, as much as Taio wanted to stay and keep Bash company it was getting late and he should head to bed. So he was getting up and pointing to the bed once more to signal it was time to sleep before he moved to leave.

[mik3la]

Once finished he looked at himself and how the clothes were standing on him. Not bad for a tribal thing. Not used to it though but not bad either. Remembering that Taio was still there he turned and caught the other staring at him a little longer. He blushed as he never wanted to seduce the other or anything. Well, now that he was looking better, Taio wasn't an ungly guy. On the contrary. He was gorgeous. His tan skin along with those clothes and tattoos were making him look savage, dangerous but in a good way. He smiled back when the other smiled meaning that he dressed okay with the new clothes. 

When Taio pointed the bed and was heading to leave, Bash took a step forward speaking. "Am i not allowed to go outside?" he asked pointing at him and at the door. He really wanted to see the outside. Even if he was rescued he still felt kind of locked in that hut. And now that he found this new place and people, he really wanted to see around. At least for a bit. He pointed again at himself and the door, showing Taio 'a little' with his fingers. Meaning he wanted to go outside for a little bit. 

[Sathenus]

Taio found himself stopped by the other's words and seeing how he indicated to himself before pointing at the door. It wasn't hard for him to understand what Bash wanted and while he wanted to let the man wander the village and see the place he had ended up in he was nervous about letting him do so. Not because he thought that he'd get into trouble, feeling like Bash would look more than anything but because he didn't want him to try sneaking off when his back was turned. Not thinking the stranger would survive in the forests for long if at all on his own. When he made the motion again and then showed a little space to show he wanted to go just for a little bit he sighed, it wouldn't be fair of him to keep Bash locked away in the hut. Granted... there was no door to begin with but that was besides the point.

After another moment of thought he nodded and made a motion for Bash to follow him out. He wouldn't be able to watch over him constantly while they were in the village since he still had his own things to do but as long as Bash stayed in sight then things should be fine. Odd really, he never thought much about keeping anyone in sight unless he was on duty watching the children. Never had he thought that way with a grown man and Bash was clearly no child. Taio watched Bash for a moment to judge his response since the hut that had been cleared for him was near the edge of the village so not to overwhelm him or the tribe. Feeling that Bash was fine and seeing nothing that concerned him he moved off deeper into the village.

[mik3la]

He smiled when the other agreed and fallowed him out of the hut. There was no door but he didn't want to make a scen by trying to run away or anything and upset the other. Plus, the guy didn't do anything to him to make him run away to begin with. Once outside he looked around and was mesmerized by the other buildings which were just like the one he was stying. No one was in sight as the sky was already starting to darken, meaning it was getting late. He saw that the village was surrounded by woods and he couldn't help but think how they have survived here. What where they eating besides some fruits. Were they okay with how they were? And what language was that that they were speaking. He wanted to ask the other so many things but the language barrier was still hard to cross. There had to be baby steps. 

"Wow ... this place is amazing" he said more to himself as he saw some fire in the distance, he could hear animals around in the forest, the wind blowing so clearly but it wasn't that cold even if he wasn't much dressed. This place was like a piece of a movie. Maybe he really was jane and Taio was tarzan. That thought made him laugh and he looked over his shoulder at the other. Yeah ... defenetly tarzan material, he thought biting his lip then turned quickly not wanted to be caught staring. 

After a few more minutes he looked up the sky which was full with stars more than he ever seen. The place was like a dream. Amazing and beautiful. At least at night view. Taking another deep breath he turned and walk near Taio. 

"Guess you have to go to sleep" he said even if he knew the other wouldn't understand. He didn't want to sleep, he was tired but he wanted to admire more. But he looked sad at the hut where he was staying then turned and smiled gently, tapping Taio's shoulder. 

"Have a good night" feeling the others body under his hand had made a small shiver ran his spine. He walked pass him and back inside the hut, sitting on the bed running his hand through his hair as he was trying to calmd down. It was crazy. Yeah the guy was hot and all but he couldn't talk with him and such. Plus they were totally different and maybe the guy wasn't into males.

He layed in bed, closing his eyes as he covered himself with the blanket that the other got him, but with the clothes he was exposing a lot of flesh. His legs were uncovered till up his waist. Not waring underwear was again strange for him, but it was feeling nice. He turned his back to the door, trying to rest, but his mind was running wild. He had lovers before so he was not prude or anything. It was just odd with this guy as he didn't know how to react around the other. 

[Sathenus]

It was easy for him to see that Bash had not seen such a place before and was mesmerized by it and the forests surrounding the village keeping it very much hidden and undetectable. They had lived here for centuries with very little changing, the tribe not feeling the need to change things when they worked so well for them. Taio had just barely noticed that he had the other man's attention again just before Bash was turning away from him once more. It caused a small smile to appear on his face, even if Taio was used to attention or looks he found that he oddly liked it more coming from someone outside of the tribe. Maybe because he was so different than everyone here that Taio was used to. Still, he was going to enjoy it all the same, and who knew? Maybe they could get closer to each other and he definitely wouldn't mind more chances to see more of Bash.

As the sun started setting and the village fell into darkness he heard the man speak again, Taio glancing back towards him with a look that clearly showed he had no idea what he was saying. He could kind of get an idea because it was late what the man meant and he felt him tapping his shoulder seeing the gentle smile. Damn... did he love the look of that smile. Finding that he could definitely get used to seeing that gorgeous smile and see him even more, his eyes moved over the man's body again. Yeah... he definitely wanted to see more of that body. Considering he could see most of it as it was now left little to the imagination and he loved that.

Taio nodded and watched the other leave and head back into the hut. A small smile still on his face as he made his way to his own hut and settled in for the night. Laying in bed he had Bash on his mind and it took him longer to fall asleep than it normally would have but he didn't mind all that much. When he woke up in the morning he worked on the garment again for a few minutes but he didn't have much time to work on that before he had to get started. He was in charge of watching the children today and he didn't have time to waist so he was quick in bringing food and checking Bash's water before he was occupied by the children. Holding a small boy that was only about 6 months old on his hip while he was watching over the others play.

While this wasn't necessarily his favorite chore he didn't mind either since the children were absolutely adorable. They were sweet too and it was nice to see them play and have fun while their parents were busy with their own tasks. Unfortunately it meant he didn't have much time to spend with Bash which was something he really wanted to do.

All night he dreamt about the guy along with many others things, making it difficult in the morning when he woke up with a hard on. Sighing he tried to calm down so that it will go away cause he didn't want the other or anyone see him like that. Maybe this people weren't like this. Who knew. Washing his face, he could see the light of the sun behind the courtains that were hanging on the door which was making him curious of how the village was looking like during daylight. 

Biting his lips nervously, not sure if he was allowed to head outside or not but what harm could happen? Taking a risk, he got off of bed, arranged his clothes, making them stay in place, and just pulled the curtain from the door and stepped outside in the sun. It wa so bright and different than last night that now he could see clearer and the place really was amazing. 

He didn't moved away from the hut, just stayed where the door was, looking around. Being at the edge of the village, there werent many people around. But he could see some of them walking around in the distance, in the same clothes Taio was wearing and himself. What he noticed was that, he only saw males but no women, which he find it strange. Maybe they were out hunting or something. 

He decided to try his luck and look for Taio in the village. With his heart beating like crazy he walked away from the hut into the village and asked for 'Taio' everytime someone would look at him, noticing him and freaking out. Which only made him curious why were they so afraid of him? Maybe because of his skin tone? he was more pale than the most of the guys in the village. Or perhaps that he was a stranger to them? He couldn't tell for sure. 

Just when he wanted to give up and return to the hut something got his leg. when looking down there was a little kid, maybe around 2 or 3 that was hugging his leg smiling and giggling. Bash smiled at the sight of it. He liked children and was always drawn to them, liking to play with them. 

"Hey there little one ... nice to meet you" he said smiling and the kid giggled louder continuing hugging him.

It was easy for Taio to learn that Bash had woken up and wandered out of the hut. Especially when this who were left in the village ended up running into him and telling him that the stranger was apparently looking for him. While he would have loved to go running off to see if the other man needed anything but he couldn't. Not with the children to watch over. Taio had bent down to look over a small scrape one of the children had gotten not realizing that another had noticed Bash and run off to him while he was preoccupied. It wasn't deep enough to start bleeding so he deemed the boy was fine and sent him back off to play.

Standing up he noticed Bash and the small boy causing him to chuckle softly. Calling to the child as he moved towards they guest. He was glad to see that the concern and fear that plagued the adults of the tribe did not infect the children who seemed more intrigued by the stranger than worried or scared of him. The children weren't used to.meeting new people either so he was sure they were excited by the opportunity which really was once in a lifetime for them. "Bash." Taio greeted the other with a smile gently shifting the infant he was holding, the small boy's head resting against his arm as he continued to hold most of the child's weight on his hip. Since it made it much easier for him to hold the boy for long periods of time.

While he wanted to greet the man more there was still that barrier they had so instead he focused in sending the boy off to play. Turning back to Bash he gave the man a curious look, wanting to ask how head slept but not knowing how. So he hoped the questioning look on his face was enough to convey that.

[mik3la]

Hearing his name being called by the only voice he started to get to know he turned and saw Taio walking towards him. Smiling he looked at him and the boy that was locked on his leg, sitting now in Taio's arms. It was a nice view. He couldn't wonder if it was his or was he just taking care of but he pushed that question aside for now. As the other send the child away, he looked him run to the others which only made him laugh. They were so innocent and yet so strong. 

Catching the glimse of eyes from Taio he looked questioning but he kind of understood, looking through out the village and the place they were standing. Using hand sign he spoke. "I...wanted to see .... the village .... during daylight" , he pointed everytime so that the other would hopefuly understand. like 'i' he pointed to himself , 'wanted to see' pointing his eyes, 'the village' he circled with his hand the place, 'during daylight', pointing the sky as in light. Maybe like this it was going to be easyer. He didn't know how else he could speak with the other, but since this method worked before in the hut, he hopped it would now too. 

[Sathenus]

He noticed the glance towards the child he was holding but Bash didn't seem to question it and Taio didn't feel the need to explain it either. Considering all the other village children were within sight he thought it was pretty clear that he was just watching the kids today. Not that it necessarily was for an outsider like Bash. It was easy for him to forget that the man wasn't originally from here even if he wasn't as tanned as the rest of them. He just seemed to fit in so well even considering the language barrier it still seemed natural that he was here. Taio's gaze moved from Bash back to the children watching them play and making sure they were playing nice with each other occasionally calling out to them and telling them to be nice or not to do something that he felt wasn't safe for all of them since a few of the boys were a bit older than the others.

Hearing Bash start to speak he turned his gaze back to him to see him pointing and making motions as he was talking clearly trying to communicate with him again. It did cause a small smile to appear since he was able to get what he meant, expressing he had wanted to see the village during the day. Taio couldn't blame him, there was much more to see and he had a better chance to meet other members of the tribe during the day. "You should look around." Taio replied pointing to his own eyes before motioning around them to try to portray what he was saying. He wanted Bash to get to know the layout of the village and to learn a little bit about where he was even if it made the other tribe people uneasy. Taio didn't see Bash leaving anything soon and deep down he didn't want him to leave at all but that wasn't something he could voice right now. Though it wasn't because he didn't want to voice those things it would just be hard to convey since he wasn't really sure how he could try to motion that.

[mik3la]

Seeing Taio smile made him smile. Again, he had to admit that the man was good looking and very handsome and when he was smiling it made something inside him twirl. It was strange how a complete stranger could make him feel that way after only one day. He just couldn't explain it. 

Paying attention to what the other was saying and pointing, Bash looked around and saw the other villagers giving him strange looks. For sure they didn't liked him as he was a stranger to them and that wa perfectly normal. But he didn't want to explore it alone. 

"Maybe i can stay with you?" he said pointing at himself and Taio and then the surrounding. It was getting easier to communicate like this. 

[Sathenus]

It wasn't surprising that the other tribe members weren't hiding their feelings very well about Bash being here. Giving the stranger some odd looks which only made Taio feel a bit bad for the man since it wasn't his fault that he was so different than they were. So when Bash spoke and motioned asking if he could stay with him instead of looking around the village it was hard for him to not give in. So he gave him a smile and nodded as he spoke, "Of course you can." He wasn't going to send Bash away if the man would rather stay with him even if he didn't think watching over the tribes children was the most interesting thing for him to be doing on his first actual day here. Since his actual first day was spent unconscious and healing. Still he would be lying to say that he wouldn't appreciate the help of the other man with the kids, while they weren't necessarily hard to watch over it was made harder when there was an infant which required most of his attention and could sometimes get in the way of him watching over the other older kids.

The oldest boy in the group they were watching was six years old, he still had a few months before he would be seven and then he'd be learning the skills necessary to be a productive member of the tribe. The youngest was the one that Taio was holding with the closest to that being three years old which did make matters a bit easier but a three year old still needed quite a bit of attention. So while he was watching the kids and wandering with them a little as they made their way towards a different part of the town he spoke with Bash as well making motions to help get the point across. It seemed there were universal motions that just all out helped them communicate and he really appreciated them finding something that worked. Though he made a point to try to learn more words of the other man's language. More than just his name since he definitely felt that wasn't enough.

"Do you have experience with kids?" Taio asked motioning from Bash to the children while also pointing to his eyes and then back at the kids. It was the best way to communicate it and no matter what it would help get it across. Either way it was really nice to just spend time with Bash even if he had other things to do and even if it may not have been how he would have wanted the man to spend his first day here. But more than anything he hoped that if Bash did have experience with children that he could help out even more and make the task even easier. Of course at a certain time the parents would return and take over the care of their own kids but until then they had to take care of everything. It included making sure they ate and drank enough and in some cases washing them up depending on how dirty they got during their games.

[mik3la]

Fallowing the other where the rest of the children where he looked around and tried to understand what Taio was actually doing. He was looking after the kids. Smiling he looked at the kids as they were playing, remembering the time he did so too. So carefree and wild at the same time. When Taio spoke in his language he looked over at him to see him gesturing about the kids and him. That he caught up which he was happy to see that they could understand each other at least in one way. 

Nodding he smiled back turning his gaze to the children. He remembered his own family that he left behind when moving to college. 

"I have a younger brother" he said without gesturing but then remember quickly and tried to explain it through gestures as good as possible. "This is nice", he said looking at Taio and back at the children. He missed his family but he had to go study. Now that he was thinking about he had to return back. But he wanted to learn more about Taio and the village. It was crazy how a place like this wasn't know by anyone around. He still had time till school started so he could stay and learn more. 

"I wanted to ask you .... are there no females around here?" he asked pointing around and trying to express the female figure, blushing.
