Sun sat watching curiously as Talys worked. As Talys found the one he was working on to be stubborn he made some strange movements, that Sun couldn’t help but grin at. He shook himself a bit when he was doing things and getting frustrated, perhaps that was what Talys was doing. ”Ah I see. Isn't it wonderful when things don’t want to work with you?” He commented sarcastically hoping Talys knew what sarcasm was. ”Honestly take all the time you need. As Talys passed him the stones he happily stowed them away in his bag with the rest of them.

Gathering all of the gem pieces Sun began to stow them away in his bag, and offered Talys a bright warm smile. ”Do not apologize friend, you did your best I can not fault you for what a stone will not let you do.” He assured Talys that the work he had done was far better than he could have hoped to have done on his own. For a moment the Gibbon stroked his chin thinking. Perhaps he could find someone with the ability to meld stones into gems to help fill the last of the gems that he needed. ”Perhaps I can. I know that out there are magic users who specialize in earth magic perhaps one of them may be able to help me further.” The gibbon thought aloud to himself as he gazed off for a moment.

Coming back to Talys the gibbon grinned and offered his hand. ”Thank you for your hard work my friend. You don’t mind if I call you my friend do you?” The gibbon asked hoping it was alright, hoping perhaps he had made another friend. ”Also If you don’t mind me asking, what are you? We are alike but not at the same time.” The Gibbon asked hoping he was not being rude asking out right like he did.

Sun watched Talys for a moment as he stood, staying for a moment where he was then Talys asked him to go to the water. With that the gibbon let out a grunt of exertion as he stood up holding his staff in one hand to lean on as he walked. With his other hand he brushed the sand from his fur and smiled warmly. ”I don’t mind at all.” Sun agreed readily, it wasn’t often he got to see a place with this large of a body of water. Normally the largest he had seen were the eyes in Eridanus.

Sun perked as Talys agreed to him being called friend. The gibbon let out a series of pleased hoots followed by a smile. Sun was a bold creature and more curious than he was cautious, and James had told him that Talys was safe and so he saw no reason to be afraid of him though he looked far stranger than anything he had ever seen in the caves. It was why he had asked what he was. As Talys answered Sun stroked his chin for a second. ”A fire elf, how unique! I You are the first of your kind I have ever met. Though that’s not saying much as I hardly leave the house.” The gibbon laughed heartily at his homebody nature. He didn’t get out much and he liked staying close to home. ”Well then that just makes you extra special in our world then. You must have been put here for great things my friend.” SUn commented with a warm smile. ”How are your hands? I have some moss in my bag we can dab them with if they have open sores.” Sun knew from experience from when he had first started climbing trees before his hands and feet had calloused over. There were many a time when his hands were broken and bleeding from climbing, he learned that moss soaked with cool water helped immensely.

Sun grinned at Talys with that wonderfully warm smile that he had. ”ah but to be unique IS to be special my friend. You never know what lies ahead of you until you get there.” The gibbon may have just been talking out his arse but somethings he tried to make sense on. Really there could be any number like him in the caves Aristotle had told him about an ape he had met when he had first hatched. He knew he was nothing unique just in a different shape.

Sun nodded thoughtfully as Talys explained about his brother. Sun tried as hard as he might to picture Talys’ sibling but all he got was a vague image. He was certain it would never do the creature true justice. Perhaps one day he might meet this V-Selenite-One. On the other hand perhaps it was best they hadn’t met, perhaps they were on the grumpier side of life?

Sun inspected Talys’ hands that he was presented. Thankfully they looked much the same as his had when he had started climbing. The gibbon nodded and squatted down as he freed both hands to dig in his bag for the pieces of moss he carried just in case he had to dry something. It also held water quite nicely and cooled quickly when in open air. Sun reached over, dipping both hands filled with moss in the water and then pulled them out, he held them open palmed in the air for a moment until they were cooling his skin. He nodded, adding just a bit more water then let the dripping plants lay on gently on Talys’ wounded hands. He would help if he could. After all Talys had done him a favor and had hurt himself in the process.

Sun smiled warmly at Talys as he gently patted the moss onto his hands and held them palm up in his own to allow the moss itself to cool in the open air. After a moment he released Talys’ hands and nodded. Watching as Talys flexed his fingers Sun nodded thoughtfully. That was good, there at least wouldn’t be any permanent damage. He was feeling rather bad about how much damage Talys had done to his hands on his part. ”If it hurt to bad, take just a little pinch of what I gave you and it should numb it. Not a full pinch just little one.” Sun held up his hand motioning with his fingers showing a larger area between them when he said full and brought them much closer together when he said little. Careful not to take to much or you’ll get the scoots if you know what I mean.” Sun made a gesture waving his hand behind his back just above his rump.

Standing back up Sun leaned on his stick with a light smile. ”It was wonderful to make friends with you Talys. I do hope sometime you might visit me in Eridanus, you could meet my sisters and brother.” Sun offered in a friendly tone, but catching the drift Sun brushed the sand off once more and nodded. ”Well, I do hope to see you again my friend.” Sun affirmed readily as he turned and began to make his waddling way back towards the tunnel he had come through.
