"Just making sure." shrugged Jailith. "Not sure always, cultures so different." With that said he got up from his sitting position, looking about for a few good sized stones. Not seeing any on the surface he knelt down, placing both hands on the ground. Closing his eyes in concentration. he 'felt' with his mind for some adequate stones underground. Finding a good deal, he used his earth manipulation powers to bring them to the surface. Picking them up he went back over to where he was sitting before and placed the stones in a pile. He picked one up and held it in the palm of his hand, covering it with the other.
Again he closed his eyes, focusing his concentration fully on the task at hand. It required even greater focus in this case, since he was not merely changing the position of a stone. He was carving it, molding the solid rock as if it were clay. Even he was astounded sometimes by the power that resided within him. Carefully he molded the solid rock, each etch and carve changing the stone into a horse. He made sure that the edges were smoothed, he did not want the children to harm themselves. Eventually he was finished, bringing away the hand that was covering it to observe his work. It was not perfect, but one could tell what it was meant to be. It was then that he realized that maybe the children here didn't even know what a horse looked like.
The next few stones Jailith concentrated on making them into animals he himself had seen in Yoreiq. Some he didn't even know the names of, but he hoped the children would. Finally after around a half hour he had finished the carvings. Sweat now adorned his brow, the exertion from using such precise magic being quite draining. He hoped though that it would be worth it.
Gathering the stone animal carvings into his hands Jailith stood up and walked over to the children. He didn't know it but the one child he was first walking to was in fact Noelani's son. Kneeling down on the ground so that he was at eye-level with him, he held out his hands, the various stone animal carvings in his hands.
"These for all of you." said Jailith, doing his best to have a smile on his face.
