So it wasn't his real name and he could not remember his true name! Nari nodded a little as she listened to the other speak, it was odd to be the one listening now instead of the one speaking. "Don't worry about it, I was just curios is all." She threw her shoulders back in a shrug then smiled at the other. Nari could tell that the other was unhappy with the name that he had been given, it wasn't cute at all and she could only imagine how unhappy he had been to live in that cage for so long. At least he was free now and after he came to his senses he could leave whenever he wished to! Really he wasn't a burden to her, it was nice to have some company for once. She always went about her business alone and at times she felt rather lonely because of that. Even if he didn't speak much it was still nice to have his company.

Though she wanted to speak to him more and ask him more questions she didn't want to become a nuisance. It also seemed that he was struggling to remember things about his past life, before he became a pet. Nari knew that it would do no good to pester him for information that he could not recall. The last thing that she wanted to do was to upset the other and to confuse him further. It was just simply fascinating to sit beside someone who was so different so it naturally made her curios but she held herself back from bothering him.

"Listen, I know that you must be eager to leave the village but there is no need to rush yourself. Stay for however long you wish to, whenever you feel ready to leave then leave but do not leave unprepared." Nari felt a tug on her line then began to pull it in. "The others... They haven't seen a Naga for so long, I'd be lying if I told you that there wasn't any bad history between our races. There is but... That was so long ago and I think that once they see that you are not a threat to them they will settle down with the thought of you staying here." Nari fought with the beast that she had caught for a bit longer before pulling it from the water. "They aren't bad, just some are sheltered and become nervous easily when there is something new. They'll get use to you... I think that most of them are just curios." And she didn't think that any of them would be stupid enough to try anything. Especially seeing as the Naga was staying in her home. Then again she could always be wrong.

Nari pried the fish from her hook then placed it inside of her bag, it was a good size and she hoped she could caught a few more like it. She was about to toss her line back into the water when she heard footsteps on the dock. Her ears went back and she turned to see Zarah running down the dock towards her. Zarah stopped in mid-run nearly falling on her face when Nari looked at her. Then she caught her balance and began to nervously play with the end of her dress. "What is it?" Nari asked, Zarah took a few steps forward and brought herself to stand in front of her sister. "Father wants to know when you plan to return..." Nari titled her head confused by what she had been told. "Oh... He wants you to help with the celebration, he's expecting you to as you always do every year."

A sigh escaped from Nari then she shook her head a little. "He expects me to do everything around here, where is Brent?" Zarah's mouth opened but nothing came out. "Wait, don't answer that. Off with May again?" When she asked that she received a nod from her sister. It was easy to tell that Nari was irritated now, her brother was always running off with this one Deerling, May, and getting himself into trouble recently. Nari slowly stood then put of her hand with the fishing rod in it. "Do you know how to fish?" She asked, Zarah looked at the rod then back up at her. She managed to squeak out a quiet no and Nari sighed again. "Look I can't fish and hunt and gather and prepare for the celebration all at once!"

Nari saw her sister's eyes twitch and realized she may make her cry. Why were children so sensitive? "No, no... Zarah! I'm not mad at you, I'm sorry... Look maybe-" She made Zarah take the fishing rod then placed her hands on her sister's shoulders and pushed her beside Loki. "Maybe Loki can teach you how to fish, I don't want to leave him alone and I haven't caught what we need." It wasn't a terrible idea, it was probably a good thing to have Zarah learn how to fish and help. Danya was only good at sewing and cooking, Talis was interested in healing and medicine... And Brent was interested in that damn May it seemed making him useless. "Is that alright with you?" She asked Loki then smiled, he didn't seem to oppose the suggestion and Nari thought she saw him nod.

Nari took a moment to say goodbye to her sister and Loki then she ran off to return to the village. Zarah looked up at the Naga then smiled nervously at him. She seemed to become small, well she always did around strangers, she was rather timid. "I don't even know how to hold this properly or how to do anything..." She felt so useless and looked down at her feet. When Nari returned to the village she was greeted by her father, it seemed that since she had left they were preparing the village for the celebration. When he questioned where Zarah was Nari told him the truth and received quite the look. It took a while for her to convince her father not to go get her sister but eventually they began to concentrate on setting up the village for tonight.
