It was clear to him that the other was struggling with trying to continue on, and while he was only barely growing weary of walking he thought that there would be no harm in stopping. Gently taking a hand in his own, he took to leading the other off of the road into the protective shade of trees and plants in search of a place to break.

it was more likely that his master could see he was tired and less that the other had read his mind but he still felt as if it were the other's power that allowed him a reprieve. gratefully he sat down next to the druid under the shade of a sweet plum tree

"This is only the beginning of our trip and I am already pleased," Reaching up with a long arm he was able to reach two of the sweet plums before he plucked them from the tree. He handed one to the boy, "Right now it may seem hot, but as the days go by I feel as though the weather may change in our favor and we will be travelling farther and seeing much more than his foresty landscape."

taking the fruit he bit into it ans savored the sweet juice before answering, "i have never seen anything but forest and dale....though i do not know if i want to see it"

He tucked his own fruit away into their basket of food to eat later before he reached out to touch a hand sticky with the sweet nectared fruit. "It does not seem desirable, but trust me when I say it is a different experience. I believe you will like it, and if you do not we can always go in a different direction."

looking down at the hand he squeezed the fruit enough to let the juice of it leak on his master's hand before using his other to bring the wet digits to his mouth to taste, "it is my master's pilgrimage not mine. i will be content enough to follow you anywhere

"One day you will be doing the same, so I would recommend making suggestions and listening as much as you follow, Lonis." He wiggled his fingers in the warm mouth to let the other savor the flavor before he took the hand stil holding the sweet fruit and brought it to his lips. His tongue ran out along sticky fingers and the puckered fruit of the plum before making the other drop the fruit to give him better access to the warm digits.

for each lick he got he gave two of twice the skill and half the inhibition until it became too much and he jumped the other


(thrashing tail, be kind in subduing but not gentle XD)

He was pressed upon the knotty roots of the tree with the other on top of him having succumbed to his temptation, but he did not mind the antics. The lips were juicy still from the sweet taste of fruit the other took, and it was nearly as delicious as the taste that he could normally taste while the two of them kissed. He could feel the sensation if hips moving gently while the tail flicked to ether side, hitting against his body with each swish, but as his long fingers wrapped around the hips one strayed enough to take a hold on the thrashing appendage to calm its incessant movement while he smoothly rolled them so that he was then the one resting on top. Pleasantly, he hummed a few notes into their kiss as hands begin to stray to touch the body beneath his own.

there was always more to his master's kindnesses than just offering a meal and as he was pressed down and offered sweet and knowing caresses he reveled in it

He'd found them a street to wash themselves of the fruit's juices and their own before he returned to the tree to pick several more of the fruits for their travels. Already he'd filled a fair amount of space for food in their bag, but he knew that soon they would devour some of it as their evening meal. With the other's attention back on traveling he decided it was time for a lesson. He let go of the hand he once held and mid it by adjusting their bag to keep to himself. "Lonis, what type of geography extends to the east where we are traveling?"

he had to think for a moment before he could answer though when he did it was with certainty, "for a while it is pasturelands but there is a river, danabou, and then hills and dales and finally a mountain-range, ikkos, and after that we meet the river again and then the sea"

Slowly he nodded his approval, "The pasture land if sull of herbs and wild vegetables. Can you name a few of commonly grown plants in the vallies that we may encounter on our trip?"

this one was harder and it took him a while to think of as many as he could remember, there were not many, "um... horse chestnuts...elder, wild garlic...um carrot...um nettles and...blackberries?"


(barring the chestnuts all are edible though blackberries are out of season by now)

Slowly he nodded, "Yes, all of those things grow in the pasture lands, though not all are edible and we are not likely to see blackberries while we are traveling. Many more things grown, namely wild herbs, but asking for you to name all of them would be assinine. Very good, Lonis." He brushed a stray lock of his hair free from his face to tuck it behind his ear, "If you recognize bushes, trees, or shrubs of fruits or herbs point it out and we shall pick some. It is always good to have a supply of various foods, for whatever the reason."

nodding he stared as his master pulled back a lock of hair, "i understand, i will study harder and pay more attention"
