So happy for a rest at last Irah stumbled in after the shifter and leaned one hand against the wall to get his breath, nevermind the underlying smell of old blood the shop carried. He perked up at the question, though, smirking in amusement that somehow between the tiger man, a dead boar and himself the herbalist had managed to receive the most attention in their short exchange. He supposed he probably looked a bit odd among Thanati even next to Akio.
He straightened up, bouncing forward to stand beside Akio, rocking on his heels slightly for his excitement and not thinking the question out of the ordinary at all. "Irah Fenech, sir, thank you for asking. I've come to do some research on your lovely islands and Akio here has graciously agreed to be my personal guide for the duration. I suppose you could say we're becoming fast friends," he teased, elbowing the shifter lightly.
