Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jin rubbed his forehead as a bug screeched and then skittered around the small glass like cup on the table only pausing a few minutes to give its angry yell. Nothing was working and at this point the stallion was getting easily agitated with the constant feeling of failure lingering over him. Getting to his feet he started to pace around the room his mind rattling off various plants, insects, anything that he could combine to get the effect he had wanted but despite all of the knowledge nothing was correct. Nothing would give him the effect that he needed on the insect to mutate in a way that was beneficial for breeding and what he had given it merely made it more aggressive. Useful information when it came to causing grief later but a waste of his current time.

No this matter was just going to have to wait, a step away something to divert his mind from the throbbing behind his temples. Maybe something from an alchemist would help a jolt anything was better than him standing there muttering. Heading out of his door he walked down the hallway, counting each entrance to a den under his breath. Reaching a number he paused looking at the entrance and then continued to count something as the numbers were muttered out.

All of them looked the same to Jin and his mind couldn’t think of which den someone had mentioned an alchemist had lived in or had they mentioned a sage. He remained standing there until voices started to grow in the hall and before they saw him he tossed out the idea of trying to remember and simply walked into one. The thought of others noticing his incompetence of being lost would just make ache even more painful.

“Is this the alchemist den?” The thought of neither apologizing nor greetings never once crept into his mind as he spoke bluntly into the den unaware of who truly inhabited.

He stood there for a moment, blinking as the warm glow light glistened off of the various colors of the curtains like multitude colors of insects. It was an extreme contrast to the one he had left that had nothing about it was inviting and other than the various collections of insects, plants, and objects used to cage various things. It reminded him that he should obtain a few more lanterns when he got the chance; maybe some silk to feed to moths as well. The tinkling of bracelets clashing together as someone stirred and within a few minutes stepped into view. Unfamiliar, not that he knew many of his own clansman either, like his sense of direction names were easily forgotten if it was not attached to an insect or plant.

He watched her curiously as she moved towards him, noting how she carried herself, the fabric of her clothing, even each piece of jewelry she wore. Even more when she brushed against his arm easily coaxing the centipede away from him not that Jin was bothered to lose the insect. There was plenty still in his den lingering around.

“No we have not. I am Ahe’Jinan, however you may simply call me Jin.” There was a faint attempt to return her pleasant smile however it was poorly done and looked more like a mix between a frown and disgruntled.

Jin didn't seemed phased as the mare reaped his name fully instead of his nickname, it wasn't as if he particularly cared which one she used as long as it wasn't anything else silly or made up that had nothing to do with his name. He did watch her interest in the centipede, noting it as a characteristic to remember her by later even if he could not entirely recall her name.

"Yes, do you know of one and where?" Still not bringing up the fact that the initial problem that he was simply lost in the tower, navigating was a major flaw.
