She was adorable in the way she stumbled over her words, and it made him smile. He would begin to walk at her flank, setting his hands on the thick fur fitted at his belt around his waist.
"Aye promise yeh, me brother's not lookin' fer meh. 'e prob'ly laughin' about, drunk 'n a tavern. An' not like 'e's me mum - Aye can do what Aye will." He would gesture with a hand for her to lead the way, his demeanor never shifting from that pleasant, eager one. Plus, he really liked her company and didn't want to wander off yet.

Physical Description: As with most of the Drowish people, Alystin is very short of stature, and as a result, she is a minuscule 5'. Characteristic of the dark Elves, she has dark-colored skin, a very deep shade of grey that is nearly black, and her hair is pure white, falling to her shoulders. Her eyes are very expressive, and are a bright shade of aqua. She has a delicate bone structure and pointed ears.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Most often, Alystin wears simple dresses of plain wool, in varying shades of blue, grey, and green. She has a couple of finer ones made of silk, but those are kept for exceptionally special occasions. Generally, there are a few items usually to be found on her person, consisting of a worn brown leather satchel that contains several items. Among these items are a book of handwritten notes, an inkwell and collection of quills, and a leather bag with separate compartments, in which she usually keeps various kinds of plants and herbs.

The words were a relief.. due in large part to the fact that his continued company was a great pleasure to her. Alystin gave him a wide, beaming smile, and nodded. "Wonderful. We'll get right to it, then." Turning carefully about, she began to make her way back toward the area where she'd left her belongings. As she went, she pointed out various flowers and herbs with her free hand, telling him their names and what the different parts could be used for. As a result of this, what should've been a brisk five minute walk became a leisurely fifteen minute stroll that eventually led them to the natural spring that she used to keep the plants watered.
Moving over to a large tree near the spring, she laid Eli down on a blanket spread out atop the thick grass surrounding the tree's roots, and then moved over to a small area where she had been harvesting plants. Sitting down, she pushed a few stray strands of white out of her eyes, and looked up at him with a smile. "This is one of my favorite spots. I suppose that's why I chose to grow lavender here - it's a good place to sit and take a break, and the soothing smell just makes it so much easier to relax. Here." She broke off a small sprig of the aromatic purple flower and offered it to him, her teal eyes shining. She hadn't enjoyed herself this much in a very long time.

Sunil followed along at her heels, probably seeming too much attached like a puppy but he wasn't minding it so much. He liked hearing her talk - and the knowledge on the herbs was insurmountable. There was plenty to learn and know - it came to a point where he had to dip into his satchel on his back for a roughly sewn notebook and thin twigs smudged in charcoal to jot down some notes - his handwriting actually legible and a bit exotic in the scrawl.
He stopped as the woman placed the wee one down for a nap, still jotting a few items down, before moving to settle down in the grass beside her - oooooh, the lavender. He definitely got a whiff of it. More like a thick, intoxicating aroma like off a roasting pig - but more lulling into a calm feeling that rumbling a stomach. He lost himself for a moment and actually leaned over to lie down in the grass with a soft sound like a purr, a deep rumbling in his chest. Even in this form he was a tiger at heart, and sounded like one.
His half opened his eyes when she offered the piece of lavender to him, and lifted a hand to accept it. With a lazy smile on his lips he brought it to his face, sniffing the blossoms directly before letting it gently brush over his nose and his cheek. His mind began to wander, forgetting what was around him, and he thought about how it would feel if her delicate fingers were touching his face. Yeah, that'd probably feel really nice...
His eyes opened when it came back to him - she was sitting right here and watching him. The blush rushed into his pale cheeks easily, and he sat upright in a second with a clearing of his throat. "Ah... thank yeh, Alystin," he mutters, trying to keep from stuttering. He glances to the stalk in hand and then to her, smiling warmly despite the site he looked with red cheeks. "Ahem. Fer me, Aye really like lavender. Always smells s' good." He had to bring his eyes down to watch the plant in his hand, keeping his eyes on the bit as he twirled it slowly between two fingers.
Pull it t'gether, lad. Yeh sound so silly.

Those oceanic hues watched with a great deal of amusement as Sunil settled himself upon the ground. Wait, was he purring? Alystin had to cover her mouth with her hand to silence a giggle at the adorable display. How could someone who could turn into such a large, destructive creature be so gentle, and kind, and sweet? Setting her elbow on her thigh, she rested her chin in upturned palm with a smile. She really wanted to reach out and pet him while he was lazing in the grass, but it would've been totally inappropriate. Didn't make the temptation any less intense, though. Especially when he started blushing. The tint of red to his face just highlighted all that blue.
"My pleasure. I like making people happy with my plants, whether it's a tea for a rainy day, a potion for what ails them, even just a sprig of something that smells nice to bring a smile to their face. Even better when that smile is so nice to look at." Her eyes widened as she realized what she'd just said, and both hands slapped over her mouth, as though that would take them back. A blush filtered into her face so strongly that it gave a noticeable pink hue to even her darkened flesh, and she quickly scrambled to make herself sound less stupid as her hands fell to curl anxiously against her chest. "I-I mean, you have a very nice smile, and I like to see it, and like to know that I helped put it there, b-because you're very kind and gentle and you should have reasons to smile."

Why did she have to be so adorable? And he had a nice smile? Damn it all, he could _feel_ the fire in his face from the embarrassment. Yet he was grinning broadly like an idiot. His free hand came up to rub the back of his neck in a nervous gesture as he chuckled awkwardly.
"Aww... ... yer too sweet, Alystin. Th-There's nothin' tha' nice 'bout me smile, though. But thank yeh." He can't bring himself to look her in the eye again - why was he feeling so awkward in front of her? Nay, bashful? He was a man, not a boy - and at this thought, he could just hear his older brother poking fun and calling him a wee lad, and then trying to give him advice on the lassies. Ooh, that just ruffled his fur.
He clears his throat again for the... what, third time? He brings the free hand to rub at his face a moment, as if to scrub off the evidence of his embarrassment, and offers her a smile again. "Not all creatures'r mean... Aye mean, like tigers an' th' lot. Some'r real gentle." He would finally glance up from the lavender stalk in hand to her, and point to her hair. "... could Aye...?" If she gave him the okay, he would pluck just a couple more lavender bits and proceed to tuck them in her braided hair. It seemed fitting with her dark skin and brilliant snowy strands. And it only made him smile wider.
A little thought at the back of his mind was reminding him incessantly that they were supposed to be learning and working with the herbs. But he wasn't listening to it.

"Me? Sweet? I suppose so, I was just being honest." He called her sweet. At that, Alystin couldn't look at him anymore; still covering her flaming face with her hands, she turned her gaze away, looking instead at the nearby waters of the spring as they rippled in a gentle breeze. It cooled her face, somewhat, and as the wind ruffled through her hair, disturbing the wayward tendrils that insisted on falling out of their braid, she let her hands fall, closing her eyes to tilt her head back slightly, exposing the entirety of her face to that gentle caress of air. When she heard Sunil speak, however, she blinked her eyes open, and turned to look at him once more. The tiny smile that appeared on her lips then was slightly sad.
"No.. not all creatures are mean. But many who would call themselves 'people' can be cruel enough to make even the most savage beast seem merciful." Almost against her will, her gaze turned toward the slumbering child, who lay in the shade about ten feet away. There was clearly a story there, and one that pained the Drow woman. Most people were too polite to ask where the girl's father was, and she never mentioned him. Until now, apparently. Snapped from unhappy remembrance by Sunil's words, she looked over at him, blinking in puzzlement at his question. What was he..? Oh! He wanted to... The blush returned to her face, and her smile turned shy, but it was also quite bright, as she nodded slightly.
"O-oh, um.. yes.. if you like..." Once the blossoms had been inserted into her braid, she swept a few of those unruly flyaway strands behind a pointed ear, and patted her hair self-consciously with a soft laugh. "I can't even remember the last time I wore flowers in my hair." The look she gave him then was one of hesitant affection. It was clear she'd been burned before, and badly, but something about this sweet, gentle man with the brilliant blue hair seemed to be pulling her out of her shell. Clearing her throat, she turned her attention back to the lavender, reaching out to pull a few weeds from among the stalks. "So, ahh, lavender, as you know, smells most wonderful. Its common uses are in teas, sleeping potions, perfumes, candles, and aph.. aphrodisiac oils..." She hid a nervous giggle behind one hand. It was true, but why did she have to say that?! "Or ah.. so I've.. heard."

Watching her relax with nature's caress on the wind almost took his breath away. He just sat there and stared like a love-struck idiot. No, she was more than pretty. Exquisite. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Damn, there weren't enough words. He was glad that she let him dress her hair with the lavender, but something was pricking at the back of his mind - that mention of cruel men and her glance to the napping toddler. He caught that - he'd always been good on details.
Without even realizing it he exhaled sharply and felt his muscles tense and roll. But when he realized it he brought a hand up to ruffle his own hair and try to unwind. There was absolutely no reason to be getting defensive or possessive? Wait, who said anything about possessive?
He went through the equivalent of a mental triple slap to the face to shut the voice up in his head.
On with the lessons - lavender. It was a nice distraction. And it made sense why the flower was so good to his senses and made him want to curl up and nap in a bed of them. And he also had to wonder if it was partially to do with his growing attraction for the lass. Well... maybe for now, but not before they got here. Bleh! He quit trying to figure it out and brought his attention back to the bed of the soft purple blossoms before them.
"Relaxin' aids, eh? Do they work fer calmin' th' lil' ones?" he chuckles, nodding towards the girl before glancing to her mother.

Those bright eyes rounded ever so slightly at the unexpected sharp breath that Sunil exhaled; she could feel the tension that suddenly radiated from his body. What had brought that on? She was about to inquire whether or not he was alright when he suddenly stirred his own hair with a hand, as though trying to ruffle out of his person whatever thoughts had inspired such a reaction. Since he wasn't going to bring it up, she decided to do the same, and instead turned back to her weeding with a thoughtful air.
Several moments passed in silence, and then.. she sighed. Thank the spirits, he wasn't going to comment on her little slip up. Relief edged the tension from her shoulders, and Alystin looked at Sunil with a smile, nodding a bit in response to his question. "Yes. Lavender works wonders for children. I keep a small sachet of dried lavender petals in Eli's pillow, and it usually does the job. On the nights when that isn't enough, I light a lavender candle. Sometimes it's the only thing that helps either of us sleep." She uttered a soft laugh, despite the truth of the statement; it was a frequent thing that she was plagued with memories in the guise of nightmares.
"Although, what I really like to do is make a nice cup of lavender-vanilla tea with just a couple of mint leaves. It smells divine and tastes even better." Rising to her feet, she idly brushed blades of grass from her skirts and moved a little further away, to a different patch of cultivated earth. From one of the plants therein, she plucked two large teardrop-shaped leaves, and returned to where Sunil sat. One of these she popped into her own mouth, and the other was offered to him as she sat down again, just a hair closer to him than she had been before. Chewing would reveal it to be the sweet, crisp mint she'd spoken of. "Mint is another relaxing one. It's also good for headaches, stomachaches, insect stings, and sore muscles."

The mention of restless nights was something he made a note of - and wouldn't need to jot it down. He was beginning to wonder what all shaped this lovely ebony sculpture before him. There was certainly a number of good things, but with the tidbits he picked up there had to be some dark cuts, too. But he forcefully reminded himself that it wasn't his place his ask.
He watched her wander of to pluck the mint and he eased back into rest on his elbows with a knowing smile on his face. "Ahh, Aye know 'bout mint. Stuff's great fer th' stomach, heh - and 'elps wit' bad breath after huntin'," he laughs, reaching up to accept the leave and slipping it past his lips. "Makes a lil' tingle in me nose, but Aye like it. Feel good on me fur, too."

Her lips curved into a bright smile at his words, and she couldn't help laughing softly. "Excellent. Mint is very basic, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know that it's more than just a tasty leaf you can use to make tea." It looked as though she had more to say.. but then Alystin paused. And with a suddenly bashful expression, she leaned toward him, resting her knees on her legs and then propping her chin atop her loosely-curled fists. She was gazing at Sunil with a vivid curiosity in her eyes as they searched his handsome features, and she bit her lip, before blurting out her question.
"I'm sorry if this is too personal, and feel free to tell me to mind my own business, but... What's it like? Having fur, I mean? Being able to turn into such a powerful, majestic animal? I've always wondered. I'm so boring and normal that things which probably seem mundane to you are just utterly fascinating to me." Neither that statement, nor the soft laugh which followed it, were at all self-deprecating; she was simply speaking the truth as she saw it. She was dull and uninteresting. All the adventure had gone out of her life when her brother, and then Zekoj, had left her, in their own ways. It was probably for the best, now that she had Eli, but that scholar's curiosity would never fade.

Sunil's brows would perk up in surprise to the question and, almost instinctively, did his head come down to look at his figure - despite the fact he was in his human form. He blinks a couple times before looking back to her, and a shy smile creeps across his face this time.
"Uh... ... Aye ain' sure how t' tell ya. I's... warm. Real warm. An' me fur's kinda sens'tive. Aye c'n feel h' slightest breeze, even a light touch. An' me tail? Oh, lord," he laughs, seeming to ease up a bit. "Tha' thing's a pain."
He would look at her directly, and lean in closer to her just a bit while lowering his voice to a very soft and kind tone. "An' what d'yeh mean yer boring, lass? Aye think yer far from it, yeh know?"

Following the scent, it led him through a pretty little forested area and to a wall. Welp, over that he went with a single leap, landing effortlessly on the other side on all four paws. The scent was potent here - Sunil had to have come to rest here at one point. And there were two more, but it was hard to discern them from all the plants. It made him sneeze.
Ruahd continued on at a trot, following his brother's scent through the walled off garden area. It wouldn't take him long to track it down to a pretty little clearing - where Sunil was almost nose and nose with a Drow woman and a tiny child was asleep nearby. He stopped and kept his figure low to the ground, watching them. A silly grin took hold of his tiger maw as his mind began to jump where it may - seems his baby brother found himself a lassie~
Welp! What kind of big brother would he be if he didn't try to help him out? After all, he had more experience with the ladies than his blue brother did. So... what did better than a display of strength and desire to protect? Very few things. He shook his head and the grin disappeared, and he eased up onto his paws once more. From here he began a very slow, predator-like approach. The only announcement of his arrival would be a very low and vicious growl that rumbled through his massive form, and with it did he sneer to bare his teeth.
Get ready, lil' brother...

As Sunil began to describe what it was like to have fur, and a tail, Alystin listened with rapt fascination. Even giggling softly when he called his tail a pain. Before she could ask any further questions, he was leaning in even closer, and her eyes rounded in surprise at his words. Or perhaps it was the way he said them. Regardless, she was blushing again almost immediately, and she found herself swaying marginally closer to him. It would be so easy to lean in and just.. kiss him... "I'm just a simple woman with a garden, a shop, and a daughter. Can't get much more boring than th-- Eek!"
The soft squeal of fear came when she noticed movement in her peripheral vision, causing her head to turn and spot something terrifying. A very big and very unfriendly looking tiger stalking their way. It didn't even occur to her that he looked as unnatural as Sunil had - her immediate instinct was protect her daughter. Tilting away from Sunil and scrambling to her feet, Alystin bolted over to where Elianara lay sleeping, snatching up a giant stick on the way, and stood in front of the prone toddler with feet braced shoulder-width apart and the stick held out in front of her in two trembling hands. Despite her obvious fear, she stood firm, her expression fierce. She would gladly die to protect her baby.

Sunil was just about as enticed as she had been, almost leaning in when her attention broke away. It tore his own apart to see... his brother? Why was he taking such a vicious stance?! Alystin tore across the grass to get between the giant tiger and her daughter - and he knew this was being taken out of context way too quickly. This could end badly. He was up and moving to stand between her and his brother as he approached, a halting hand out to either of them.
His eyes shifted back to Alystin first, looking at her with urgency. "Wait! Wait! Jus'... wait. I's okay."
Ruahd was next, pegging him with a sharp leer that said 'What the hell are you doing?' He didn't really expect his older brother to attack... what was he up to? If he scared that poor child, he swore he was going to beat his brother to death with his own tail. "Ru, cut it out, mate..."

He watched the presumed mother run over to block him from the child. This was perfect, especially with Sunil in alignment. This would go swimmingly - he'd attack, Sunil would fight and look good for her, and she'd fall harder for the lad than a bag of rocks. Or at least, this was what went through his head. He snarled loudly for good measure at Sunil, and lunged with teeth and claws bared - towering over them to cast his terrifyingly large shadow over his "prey"!

Bewilderment filled Alystin's face when Sunil told her to wait. What was he talking about? Why was he... Wait. He knew this tiger? What was... Could this be his brother? Was his brother also a tiger shifter? It made a sort of sense, she supposed, but-- Oh spirits why was he attacking?! Taking a step backward to put herself more securely between Elianara and the attacking tiger, she swung her stick wildly, trying to deter the creature from its strike. Her eyes narrowed angrily, and she hissed at the attacking beast. "I don't care who you are, you leave him alone! I'm not afraid to fight you! And if you touch my baby I will turn you into a rug myself!"

This got out of control quick. Without really thinking save for the fact of protecting the females he made a half shove to try and deter Alystin from jumping in the middle with her stick - and quite literally charged into the massive black and red tiger, locking arms to shoulders to hold him up and keep the massive beast from crushing down on them. He held firm despite the size difference, grunting and trembling slightly as his muscles bulged and became more shapely against his skin. He felt the giant paws and their claws at his shoulders and back as his brother fought to crush him, and with a single precise step he shifted the tiger to the side and threw him away with a mighty roar.
Ruahd rolled over onto his paws and charged again, ready for more.
Sunil crouched and shifted, as if smoke enveloped him out of nowhere and took the shape of the beast he once was - stark blue stripes on his pelt. Now it was mostly even - tiger to tiger, claw to claw, and fang to fang. He let loose a terrifying roar, a threat to his brother to back off or else, and charged to meet him head on in a flurry of powerful tiger muscle and deadly claws - paws swiping about, tails whipping around madly in their aggression, and teeth snapping to take hold and drag and throw. It became a very vicious brawl of two ferocious beasts - the red trying to near the woman and her child while the blue fended him off by any means necessary.

Physical Description: As with most of the Drowish people, Alystin is very short of stature, and as a result, she is a minuscule 5'. Characteristic of the dark Elves, she has dark-colored skin, a very deep shade of grey that is nearly black, and her hair is pure white, falling to her shoulders. Her eyes are very expressive, and are a bright shade of aqua. She has a delicate bone structure and pointed ears.
-----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Most often, Alystin wears simple dresses of plain wool, in varying shades of blue, grey, and green. She has a couple of finer ones made of silk, but those are kept for exceptionally special occasions. Generally, there are a few items usually to be found on her person, consisting of a worn brown leather satchel that contains several items. Among these items are a book of handwritten notes, an inkwell and collection of quills, and a leather bag with separate compartments, in which she usually keeps various kinds of plants and herbs.

Alystin staggered back as Sunil gave her a shove, no matter how gentle, and she flopped onto the ground beside her slumbering daughter. Through all this, Eli somehow managed to keep sleeping.. but that roar put an end to all that. The child came awake in an instant and began screaming, the noise having terrified her. Dropping the stick, Alystin immediately swept the child into her arms and pulled her against her chest as she scooted back into the tree. Rocking the toddler and cooing soothingly to her, she stroked Eli's back and watched the fight between tigers with a bewildered and frightened gaze. Why was the other tiger after them? And if it was Sunil's brother, why was he fighting him? To defend them, clearly, but why? He barely knew the both of them. Was he just that good of a man? There weren't men that good anymore.. or so she had begun to believe. Perhaps she was wrong. She petted Eli's hair and shushed her softly.
"Shh, shhhh, it's okay, Eli. We're going to be alright. Sunil wouldn't let anything happen to us."
To her surprise, she realized she believed that with all her heart.

As the fight rolled and rumbled on, Sunil was losing his composure. He was getting thoroughly pissed off - a bit evident in the threatening roars he emitted towards his brother. He was getting excessively aggressive in turn to Ruahd, who he could almost feel laughing in his head at him. At once point through the mess of the bites, the claws, and the wrestling about, the red striped tiger hunkered down into a pitiful state of submission, inching away from Sunil with quieter growls than before.
Alystin would hear the barking snarls from Sunil as he paced repeated in a half circle around the bigger tiger, still looking very much on edge and ready to fight. The sounds almost seemed as if he was talking to the tiger, keeping him corralled by a tree. When the only response from the bigger beast was a silly grin on his furry maw, Sunil roared again and lashed out with a paw - knocking his head into the trunk and bouncing it off like a ball.
The red tiger faded off into smoke to reveal another male crouched on the ground and holding his head in both hands, similar to Sunil in a number of ways but with hazel eyes and red hair and tattoos. Sunil shifted back into human form, stanced with legs braced and muscles drawn tight in preparation for another fight if it came down to it. Both bore a few scratches and scrapes and dirt stains, and a thin trail of blood ran from the corner of the young male's mouth - but they seemed fine save for the attitudes. The one on the ground was laughing through a few moans while Sunil looked very much angry still.
"Th' hell yeh doin' Ru?!" he yells, stomping one boot to the earth to emphasize his words.

It was everything she could do to keep Eli from hurting herself as the toddler flailed about - although whether it was in anger or fear, Alystin wasn't sure, because apparently the toddler had spotted Sunil at some point during the tigers' fight, and was now screaming, "Kiki! Kiki no!", in between sobs. Sobs which continued unabated no matter how hard her mother tried to comfort her. The sounds only began to trickle off when the fight calmed down and there was no longer any growling or snarling happening. Hesitantly, Alystin stood and peered toward the pair of males, only somewhat shocked to see a red-haired male sitting before Sunil. A mixture of confused, angry, and concerned, she made her way over to the pair, cradling a sniffling and hiccuping Eli on her hip.
"Sunil? Are you alright?" Once she was within reach, her free hand - which was still trembling in the wake of the adrenaline rush - extended and lightly touched the blue-haired man's arm. Eli lifted her head from her mother's shoulder, snuffling piteously and wiping at her face with chubby fists, then looked at Sunil with sad silver eyes. She immediately reached over and patted his shoulder as she muttered in a tearful voice, "Kiki? Kiki ow?"
