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

[Sathenus]

Watching the motions as Bash tried to express what he had said ended with Taio giving a nod in understanding. So he wasn't an only child, that was interesting to learn and it did make him think that he'd be some nice help with the children. Even if he wasn't sure just how big of an age difference it was, it at least let him know he was used to being around younger people. His smile grew when the other spoke again and he had to agree that it was nice for the pair and for the group in general. As they were watching the kids play he didn't take much notice of what else was going on around them since all it took was a moment of distraction for the children to end up getting into something that could get them seriously hurt.

That attention was brought back to Bash though when he was speaking again and pointing around them while seeming to try to describe another figure. Taio didn't fully understand because he couldn't recall anyone ever having a figure like that here so he shook his head and pointed to himself, then Bash and the kids before motioning to the village. "Men." He said as he was making the motions to basically tell him that what he saw was what he got and that it was only men in the village. He had never seen a female before and other than animals there was no word that described something that wasn't male and it was a word rarely used since it just... wasn't normal here.

Taio lead Bash over to a spot where they could sit down and relax with each other while watching the children. It would make it easier for him to watch the kids and talk with Bash at the same time and just enjoy the others company. He shifted the infant now that he was sitting to cradle the boy in his arms, the child's wide eyes were staring at Bash the small boy seeming to be interested in the stranger. Since the child was still so young there weren't all that many villagers that were given the chore to watch the children since a lot more could happen with an infant. But taking care of such young children wasn't new to Taio he had started helping out with them since he was fifteen and he had continued to help with them ever since then. Turning his attention from the children and back to the stranger and thought he'd question the same thing about the man. "Are there... females where you come from?" He asked repeated the motion the other had used for that figure with other motions to portray what he was asking.

[mik3la]

Bash frown when the other shaked his head at the mention of female figures which was kind of strange. If there was no female around, how could there be kids? He never heard of something like that before so it was all new for him. Fallowing Taio to sit down and keep an eye on the other kids he saw that the child in Taio's arms was looking at him, or better said staring at him which only made him laugh. 

"Guess i'm not your typical person from around here" he said to the little guy catching his little hand into his smiling. Looking back at Taio when he gestured same thing, asking him same thing which only made him think about what he wanted to ask exactly. He nodded, confirming that there were females from where he came from. He spread his arms to the little kid in Taio's arms, meaning or better said asking if he wants to come in his arms. 

The boy looked at him and then at Taio and back at him, but eventually leaned over to Bash to take him in his arms. He was happy that at least the little ones were okay with him there. 

[Sathenus]

The frown he got from the other when he had said there weren't any females here just caused curiosity. Taio didn't understand why it caused that reaction but didn't really mind at the same time either, so he returned his attention to the children. Hearing the man spoke had him glance towards Bash again seeing that the other man was speaking to the small boy in his arms causing him to chuckle softly. He loved seeing that the children were so welcoming to Bash and that the man seemed to like the children as well. When the boy leaned towards Bash after the other had opened his arms to him he shifted to help shift the boy into the other's arms. Taio absolutely loved seeing Bash hold the small boy, especially because he seemed to like and want to hold the child and wasn't just doing it to do so.

"He really likes you." Taio said with a little motion to get it across. Which was definitely much easier now that he didn't have his arms occupied by the small boy. His smile was bright because he loved how the other man was acting and helping out. It was sweet to see him embracing them and the kids so easily without any problems because he knew many others may not have been as open to holding the boy. The more Taio admired the two the more he wanted to see it and the more he liked it. Which made him realize he was giving Bash and the child way too much attention and so he turned his gaze to the other kids and was looking over them. At one point he had to get up and take a spider from one of the kids, it wasn't one he felt safe with them playing with and while he didn't necessarily want to hold it either it was better he took it than they get bit by it.

The children finding and playing with different insects or animals they found in the village wasn't unusual but it was up to Taio to make sure that what they played with wouldn't hurt them. Telling the boys to go hang out with Bash until he got back he moved to the forest to a safe distance to release the spider and was glad when he was rid of it. Returning to Bash he wasn't surprised to find that the small group was gathered around the stranger really interested in the stranger which only caused him to smile again.

[mik3la]

Laughing at the kid in his arms that was now playing with his hair he looked at the other that moved to handle the others toodlers that were playing along and got something from them waling a little further to the forest. In the mean time the other kids came around him and started talking in their language, mostly the ones that were older and were able to speak. The others were just looking at him and his skin and hair which were different than his. Bash laughed as he felt so familiar with them since he was used to be asaulted by children as his family had a lot of members. He personally had only a younger brother but his uncles and aunts had more children and the family gathering were always something like this. 

 

[Sathenus]

As Taio joined the group again he was gentle in informing the children that Bash didn't speak their language and didn't understand what they were saying. This was of course met with a bunch of questions and Taio was more than happy to explain to the group that their new friend wasn't from around here. It took a bit for them to understand that there were places outside of the village but he made sure they understood that these places were extremely far off and very different. When he finished explaining this to the children he turned his attention back to Bash and gave him a smile. "They all really like you." He told Bash trying to convey that the best he could through motions. For awhile they just hung out and talked as much as they could convey between hand motions while the kids went back and forth between playing and wanting to see and be near Bash again.

When it was time for lunch it was a bit more hectic for him to get them all to settle down and gather and keep them all seated enough without any little tussles. After lunch was when parents started returning and children were taken off their hands. While the tribe members may have been concerned about Bash's presence before they seemed more accepting of it when they returned to find that their children liked the stranger and were comfortable around him. The youngest was the last to get picked up and Taio had a small conversation with his dad before turning his gaze back to Bash now that they were left alone. "Want to go for a walk?" Taio asked using hand signals to convey what he had said. Since they were free of the children there was nothing keeping them in the village now so he thought it would be the perfect time to take Bash out of the village for a little bit and show him some of the forest that surrounded the village.

[mik3la]

As the day went by he was happy that he could spend time with Taio and the children, enjoying every moment of it. Even if the comunication was harsh, he could take a hint of the stuff the other was asking or saying, as well as the kids. It felt so natural and fine to be out there with them that he forgot about his normal life and the struggles he had about in life. At noon everyone came and picked up their child, which kind of helped with the elders acceptance. He was finding it still strange that there were only males, but he felt more comfortable in a way. 

Now that they were alone again and Taio asked him to go for a walk it felt more like a date, which was crazy but he liked the feeling of being alone with the guy. The guy was kind and thrustful, plus he was funny and even if they weren't able to comunicat quite freely, they were getting along. Better with other men he had known along the way to where he was now. 

Fallowing him around the village and the forest, he tried to keep up with the beauty of it. "Its really beautiful out here" he said gesturing his words as good as possible to explain it. He wanted to tell so much more but it was hard to express it. 

"So ... you all are ... together together or" he started gesturing but it was seeming that he wasn't quite clear about what he as asking, sighing in frustrasion that they couldn't comunicate like normal people. "Do you ... like ... men?" he finally asked , being the simple easy possible question, which made him blush. 

[Sathenus]

"I'm glad you think so." Taio said gesturing so Bash would know what he had meant. He was glad that the other found his home beautiful, our was mostly and so natural. Their impact on the land around them was minimal lacing much of the place virtually untouched. They hunted only what was needed and didn't farm, everything was gathered and only enough for the day never more than needed. It meant many chores were repeated but that was why their duties were rotated to ensure no one person got stuck doing too much. Their chief may not do any of those chores but no one expected him to either. He had far more important things to do even if the tribe had never seen nor experienced war or other similar issues.

When Bash spoke again Taio found himself not being able to understand what he meant even despite the gestures. The man seemed to realise that it wasn't translating well and was soon asking something else. This question was met by a laugh unable to help it since it seemed so obvious. The tribe was all male so who else was there to like. "Yes. I like men. Very much." Taio replied gesturing the best he could to show that. The smile on his face showing he was being honest. Even if he had thought it'd be clear considering the tribe and all he didn't mind confirming it for him.

"Do you like men?" Taio questioned in return. Figuring he had answered it was only fair that Bash answer as well. Taio fully believed in only asking questions one didn't mind answering. But feeling it was fair to ask a question you wouldn't answer yourself.

[mik3la]

When Taio confirmed and laughed it made him blush more. was he funny in asking that? Well, now that he was thinking about it kind of. there were only males in the village but when did they get the babys then? There should be some women or something like that to make them. That was the normal course, right? Or was there something else that he didn't found out about it yet? 

When he was asked the same question he didn't answered right away as he did. Normaly people in his world don't admit this things so easily and is hard to be with someone freely. Seems that Taio and the others didn't had such a presure about their sexuality which he envy them. He confirmed by nodding and put a silly smile on his face feeling now a little strange. He didn't know what to do or say now anymore. 

[Sathenus]

That blush on Bash's face was absolutely adorable, there wasn't much that seemed to make many if any of the tribesmen blush so he loved seeing it. "You're really cute when you blush." Taio admitted to the other man mentioning the best he could to communicate that. Kind of hoping he'd end up blushing more which in the end would only make him even happier. Not that he wanted bash to feel embarrassed or anything but it was just too cute to deny liking.

When the question was reversed Bash didn't answer as quickly or easily. Clearly things weren't as easy for the other man to voice for whatever reason. Eventually Bash did respond and nodded with a silly but cute smile on his face. "Is liking men odd where you're from?" Taio questioned with slower movements even imbue was sure his voice was enough to convey it was a question.

[mik3la]

Bash took a deep breath when the other question him about his world before responding but wasn't sure how to gesture it. 

"It's complicated" he said and gestured moving his hand side to  side and then wave it in the air as in to forget about that. He didn't want to think about his world in that moment. This was like an escape from the modern world and exploring the nature. Like a hicking but ... better? I guess so. 

"Are there any other villages? ..... Hmmm .... Are there any others like you around here?" he eventually ask gesturing Taio and the surroundings and also the village hoping he would get the idea, if not he will try to change the subject. He already was changing the subject from his modern world, not wanting to talk about that. Even if he saw a little in the village he could tell that they were better people than the ones in his modern world. 

"Are you .... Do you have a boyfriend that you like ...." he started to ask and gesture but then stop blushing again and turned only to talk to himself. "Why the hell am i asking this .... why whould i want to know...he is in a village with a lot of men, he likes men, i like men ...jesus .... i'm crazy ... why am i thinking in that direction...fuck" he sigh massaging his forehead brushing his hand through his hair taking a deep breath. 

"Sorry ... forget it" he waved his hand in the air again as he talked and walked pass him wanting to walk a little and calm down. 

[Sathenus]

The response he got to asking a question about where Bash was from wasn't really answered instead he was told it was complicated and the man seemed quick to change the subject. While Taio was fine if the man didn't want to talk about where he had come from it ended up doing nothing but raising more questions. Still since the man made it rather clear that it wasn't really something he wanted to talk about. So instead there was silence for a moment before Bash was speaking and he watched as he made the gesture asking about other villages that were like theirs around here. Taio didn't respond right away since he needed to think about whether or not he had seen or heard about any such villages but he hadn't.

"No. I've never heard about any other villages. We didn't even know there were people outside the village until you washed up on the river." Taio replied taking his time to explain it right through the gestures they had discovered allowed them to communicate even if they still spoke allowed. Taio hoped that the more they heard each other's voices and their language the more they'd be able to pick up each other's languages and eventually the gestures wouldn't be needed anymore. He wanted to ask about where the other was from again but he decided against it based on his last response. It seemed that Bash wanted to think only about where he was and not where he was from. Which he supposed he could understand to a point considering they were clearly from two very different places.

Bash had started to ask him something and while Taio had gotten most of the question he had cut himself off making it difficult for him to understand what was asked. By the blush that was appearing on the man's face he had a feeling it had to do with him liking men again but he didn't have a chance to ask since Bash was soon talking without motioning making it clear he was talking to himself and not so much him before he was apologizing and saying to forget it walking in front of him now. Taio didn't like that though and so he reached out for Bash gently grabbing the man's hand as he came to a stop forcing the other to stop as well his eyes were looking at the man confused. Not understanding why someone would start to ask a question just to not finish asking. This wasn't something he was used to experiencing, if someone asked a question in the village they always finished asking it never stopped halfway or decided not to ask after starting to vocalize it. It just wasn't what he was used to.

"You can ask me anything." Taio expressed to Bash offering a reassuring smile. There wasn't any reason for secrets here, in fact he didn't think anyone in the village had a secret. There was so much about the village that Bash had yet to experience or understand and he was hoping the longer he stayed with them the more Bash would learn and the more comfortable he'd get. Taio wanted to encourage Bash to speak and ask what he wanted and not feel discouraged or let himself get in the way of knowing the answers to those questions no matter what the question was. 

[mik3la]

Bash heart stopped in the second the other caught his hand and turned him around, forcing to look him in the eye. This is bad ... i shouldn't feel like this after only one day for a stranger ... what the hell is wrong with me? his mind was running in different way as he looked at Taio saying and gesturing to ask him anything. He blushed again feeling that this were personal question and normaly in his world one wouldn't ask so carefree this things. But then again, Taio showed him that this place was different than the modern world. He bit his lip, still thinking if he should ask or not. He found the guy very atractive and it was hard not to get drawn to him and that sweet simple smile. But he didn't want to confuse atraction with generosity. Cause if Taio was generous by nature and he was the one that had this kinky thoughts that would be very awkward after. 

"I ... I wanted to ask you if ... yo have someone from the village ... like a boyfriend or something" he said and gesture as not confuzing as possible shrugging, scratching the back of his head feeling a little embarrassed. Even if he had relations before, he wasn't the direct guy in this matters. He was rather shy at first but after he would get confident and all. But in his world he always had to be careful with this stuff, and now here, it was so normal that it was confusing him. 

[Sathenus]

For a moment Taio was sure that Bash just wasn't going to ask him the question after all despite what he had said and attempting to reassure the other that it was okay to ask him anything. So he had been about to give up on knowing what the question was until Bash seemed to finally give in and was speaking watching the gestures as he tried to explain what he was asking. It caused a small smile to appear on his face at the question. So that's what he didn't want to ask me. That's so cute. Taio thought to himself before he was shaking his head the gentle smile remaining on his face. "No. I don't have a boyfriend. I've definitely outgrown the dating years." Taio told Bash before he was motioning for them to continue their walk. He didn't find it a personal question more of just a curious one and it was okay that Bash was curious about him and any relationships he may or may not have. The fact that everyone in the village knew everything about each other meant he had never been asked that before but he still didn't mind telling Bash about it and admitting that he wasn't with anyone.

It hadn't been because he didn't have his eye on other tribe members since he definitely had. But like everyone those he had grown up with ended up finding their right match and it just turned out Taio hadn't really fit anyone yet. Which he was fine with, not everyone in the tribe ended up with someone, that was just how things were here. The tribe wasn't big enough for such things after all and no one really minded, there was still a nice choice of people he could go to or that could come to him when needs arose and they were fine with such relationships. 

[mik3la]

Bash frowned at Taio's respong of no boyfriend thing that maybe there was someone more than a boyfriend. Even though the smile on the others face made him feel more comfortable talking about this things he had to be sure about this. 

"Then i presume you're married?" he asked again walking along the other, gesturing quickly so that Taio would look at him and gesture the question. why am i acting like a stupid teen right now ...god ... i am so stupid...., he though biting his lip as he didn't know where this conversation was going to lead. What did he want to find or what will he do once he got his answers? Thinking for a few seconds he decided to tell what was on his mind. Maybe he was suffering a post-traumatic shit of that sort and he got atracted by the guy, which he doubted, but that could also be a possibility. 

"I don't want to sound crazy or anything ... and i know i'm not one of you guys but ... I like you" he said blushing, stopping in his walk looking at Taio nervgously. 

[Sathenus]

The next question had his smile grow a little more a bit amused that Bash seemed to be curious or maybe worried that he was in a relationship with someone. "No. I'm not married either." Taio told Bash his smile remaining friendly even if a little amused. It was hard not to be amused since he wasn't used to anyone taking such an interest in such matters. Granted everyone in the village already knew who was and wasn't available and so there was no need to discuss it, there was no hiding things like that and no one wanted to hide it. If anything they were all way to happy to flaunt who they managed to claim to feel the need to try to hide it. Everyone was really happy to show off who they were with and even happier when a child came. Not that the tribe wasn't happy for them regardless, some would be a little hurt at first if they had interest in one of them but those feelings never lasted very long either.

What Taio wasn't expecting was for Bash to say that he liked him, it stunned Taio for a moment. Not because he didn't like hearing it, Taio very much enjoyed that Bash liked him he always enjoyed it when he got attention from other people even if just for a night. "I like you too." Taio told Bash with a smile before he leaned forward to give him a kiss. It wasn't a light and testing kiss either, Taio was so used to relations and showing emotions between men that he felt absolutely no need to hold back when it came to the kiss. Even if he didn't wrap his arms around the other like he really wanted and instead just set his hands on the other man's side.

[mik3la]

Bash sigh when heard that he wasn't married either. At least he wasn't hitting on someone that was with someone else. He never did that sort of things. He wasn't the guy to steal, although others had steal from him. But that was in the past. What he didn't expect was what had happened next. As said before, he wasn't used to express feelings so freely and when he was kissed by the other he freezed, staring at the guy not knowing how to react. He blushed instantly, that was a normal reaction and without thinking he looked around, making sure no one saw it, but they were in the woods, not in town or something. It was still hard to get used to this free express thing that Taio and the village had, but he was also happy that the other liked him despite their differences and language barrier. 

Not used with showing affection outside, he said smiling shyly gesturing their lips, refering to kissing. That's why i said my world was complicated we ... we don't express affection in public, he said gesturing with his hands in the air, hopping the other would understand. 

[Sathenus]

Taio wasn't sure what he was expecting but at least he was able to give the other man a kiss which was apparently more than Bash was used to since he was soon telling him how he was not used to showing affection outside. This caused a curious look to cross his face though as Bash continued about how his world was complicated and they didn't express affection in public. "Not at all?" Taio asked with a small frown. It was probably because of the village but Taio loved being able to show affection and emotion in public and around others, he wanted them to know how much he liked someone and they wanted the same thing. It was odd to think that there were places where public affection wasn't something that was expressed or that it wasn't something that was commonplace. It was something he loved to do and that was so common in the village that Taio didn't think twice when it came to kissing Bash even though the other man was not from the tribe.

"I see... maybe over time that will change?" Taio said and yet asked at the same time. While he wanted to be able to publicly express that he liked Bash he didn't want to push things and do something that the other man wasn't comfortable with. He didn't want to press matters and make him uncomfortable. Then he decided it was better they continue moving since it was never a good idea to stay still for too long in the forests never knowing who or what may be watching them. At least they were able to express that despite the short period of time that they have known each other that they liked each other and felt feelings for one another.

[mik3la]

Not between two men. Affection between man and women is alright but between two men is still seen as strange, he explained gesturing it than fallowed the other on their path which brought them back in the village. Maybe the fact that he ended in this village was a good thing. Maybe it was going to make him feel more like himself for now and learn that it was okay to feel as he felt and that it wasn't something strange. 

Before they entered the village Bash caught Taio's hand, walking hand in hand in the village. It felt strange but good at the same time. He smiled at the guy, thankful for him being there. He was happy that Taio saved his life and that he hand to restrictions with showing affection or how he felt towards another man.

What else do you do around here? he asked gesturing the village hopping he understood. Even if it it was getting easier to communicate with gestures, some words were difficult to express.

[Sathenus]

It was an odd concept for Taio to understand that there were females where Bash was from and that relations between males and females were accepted there but relationships between two men were considered strange. It was strange that relationships between two men wouldn't be viewed the same. But he figured this was something he wouldn't be able to understand either and he was sure there were plenty of things about where Bash came from that he just wouldn't be able to understand. So he just shrugged it off as they continued walking and before long they were back in the village and Taio lead Bash to get some food since he was sure the other had to be hungry. He certainly was.

Hearing Bash's voice caused him to instantly look at the man as he was asked what else he did around here and for a moment he considered it before responding. "It depends on the day. There's different things to do depending on the tasks you have for the day. Or if you by some miracle have a task and get it done quickly you can do whatever you want. Though normally we'd just help out each other to get all work done quicker." Taio explained the best he could through motions before he was showing Bash where they kept the food. It was a much larger hut with different hand made baskets and bins filled with different things and there was some meat still over burning coals to keep the cooked meat warm and Taio motioned to the hut. "This is where you'll be able to get food whenever you're hungry. Anything here is available to you just like everyone else." He informed the other man.

[mik3la]

REacing the food hut Bash looked around and his previous questions about the food they were using and he was in a good way surprised to see that they were having other things than just fruits. so they hunt too ... i never heard anything at the news, he thought looking around at all the goods. When he heard Taio's voice he turned and look at him understanding through gestures that he could eat from that place. Even if he was kind of hungry, he only took an apple. He didn't want to bother them with food loss or anything. 

This will do, he lied biting the apple with a smile. It was very tasty and since he was hungry he ate it rather quickly. 

[Sathenus]

Taio wanted to object to Bash just taking an apple knowing that he had to be hungry since he hadn't eaten anything when they had fed the kids earlier and he was sure the man had skipped breakfast too considering how quickly he had come found him this morning. But he didn't think it was a good idea to say he thought he needed to eat more either so instead he just nodded. "Okay... but if you're hungry don't be afraid to come eat." Taio told him the best he could before he grabbed himself something and lead them back out of the hut. He lead Bash to a place where they could sit and talk and enjoy hanging out together and talk without having to move around or really worry about anything else.

"Have you ever lived somewhere like here before?" Taio questioned the other wondering if he had ever been to such a place before. Taio knew that the village and the tribe were probably quite different just from how he had found Bash and the way he dressed and that device he had pulled out of his pocket despite it not working anymore. But that didn't necessarily mean that he hadn't seen places similar to this before and it made him wonder if there were other tribes or places like theirs in the world. While Taio was personally happy where he was with no interest in leaving he could still be curious about the rest of the world. Until he had found Bash on the riverbed he had thought that the world consisted only of their tribe and the forest surrounding them that they had called home for centuries. The tribespeople didn't use the river, they never went out on it, fishing was done safely from shore and bathing was done in creeks not the main river. It was too dangerous and they were taught from a very young age to be careful of it. There had been a few times though many years apart where the river had threatened to flood the village during the wetter parts of the year but generally they were far enough from it that it didn't pose a problem.

[mik3la]

Sitting next to Taio and just enjoy the breeze of the air and sound of leafes in the wind made him happy. It was like all his worries were washed away. Forgeting about finding work, prepare for college, find a place to stay. He didn't had to worry about that in that moment. The peace was doing him good. When Taio talked he looked to him to see his question being gestured. Thinking about it, he could only remember once going camping but he was too little. 

I've been into forest once ... but i was too little to remember , he gestured then thought bout what Taio wanted to know and his smile faded a little. 

N-No ... You are the first to find ... Outside , are no people like you ... only like me , he pointed at him to end his respond and was feeling kind of sad now that he answered it and realizing that there were no other places like this one. He was pretty sure that the modern world had no idea of this place. And maybe it was a good thing. 

[Sathenus]

While it bummed Taio out to learn that there weren't other villages or purple like them out there only people like Bash he figured it was just as well. He should have known that based on the fact that Bash was the first outsider to ever find them in the centuries that his tribe has lived and thrived here. Still he had kind of hoped their would have been. In the end Taio decided it was for the best to not focus on it for very long or it'd just depress him. Odd. He never even thought of places outside the village before Bash's arrival and he knew the chief would be very angry if he thought the stranger was making people think of leaving. Even if it wasn't Bash's fault and that eventually someone was bound too want to leave. No one here would see it that way when they had someone they could blame it on. Shaking his had he pushed those thoughts aside and focused back on Bash.

"Do you... miss where you're from?" Taio asked not sure why he was even asking. He liked having Bash here and didn't like the idea of him ever leaving. But he thought it was way too soon to tell him that and say he didn't want him to leave. Especially since there was no way to ensure that Bash would like how things were here for the foreseeable future and not just because he was sure he'd be able to leave it all behind in the end. Even if Taio wans't so sure it would be that easy. No one had found them before so Taio felt like it'd be impossible if not at least extremely difficult for Bash to find his way back to were he came from.

While Taio kind of wanted to express that he didn't want the man to panic and try to leave right away. Maybe it was selfish but it was hard for him not to feel that way. He waved Bash to stay with them for as long as he possibly could, even if he may need to influence it a bit here and there. After all he seemed happy here, despite the tribes initial reaction to his presence.

[mik3la]

When asked if he missed his world Bash had a moment of pause and looked around and up the sky. Taking a deep breath he answered as honestly as possible. 

Not sure ... i feel good here ... despite i don't know your language but ... no ... i don't miss it at the moment,  he said turning to look at Taio with a soft smile but it turned after in a sad one. But i will have to turn back somehow i guess, he added lowering his eyes to his hands playing with the fabric of his clothes. 

He shaked his head not wanting to think about that. It was still too early to think about leaving. He could still stay there. He didn't had to leave right away. That if the village wasn't going to throw him away. 

Let's not think about that ... we have enough time, he said gesturning along the way what he expressed it into words. He thought about something and decided to give it a go. 

I have an idea , he started gesturing turning to Taio. Would you teach me your language and about your culture? And i'll teach you my language and about the world outside? he bite his lip nervously not sure if the other would want that.

Watching Bash, Taio was watching for all those little things that would let him know if he was being honest or not. Not that he thought Bash would lie to him but he wanted to know his actual feelings and not hear what bash may think he wanted to hear. So he listened to the sound of his voice and looked for any sign he may not be honest with him while also paying attention to the gestures so he could actually understand what was being said. Bash telling him that at some point he needed to go back and find a way back. Taio didn't like hearing that Bash would need to leave at some point. He wanted him to stay and not leave but there wasn't anything he could do about it.

It seemed the other didn't want to think about those things either though. That was fine with h, hoping that the longer Bash was here the more he'd want to stay and maybe just never leave. He was distracted from that train of thought by bash expressing that they shouldn't think about it, that they have enough time. Do they though? Taio didn't think that it'd ever be enough time to him. He didn't know why he was so attached to Bash already but he was and he didn't want to think about him ever leaving.

Suddenly Bash was speaking again this time saying he wanted to learn his language and culture and saying he'd teach him about his in return. "I think that's a really good idea." Taio responded knowing that this would be good for them. It'd help them understand each other and put an end to needing gestures to express what they were saying. That and learning about each other's cultures would make it easier to understand how they felt or saw different things too.

"It will be good and better for us." Taio admitted giving Bash a smile. He would like to take the time to teach each other and it'd make them closer for sure. He was definitely looking for any reason to get closer to Bash too. Especially after their kiss in the forest, making it all the more important that they could properly express themselves to each other.
