Callistos was standing in front of his garden, studying it from a distance, and gave a bit of a smile. The area had been surrounded recently by a sturdy fence to keep various beasts out of it like the capramel that thought that the garden was a buffet. The only thing that he had to worry about these days were the morakers... but even those were starting to become a bit scarce. Between Maarit and her new sister by adoption Stormy there really weren't as many of the little rodents around. The loatoa he'd learned were little, well not so little, murder beasts. They loved to hunt and to eat what they hunted, meaning the pest animals were taken care of and they were well fed.
He looked over at the two sisters that were running around, chasing after a flowing leaf, squeaking all the while at it. It was something that made him laugh a bit before he called out, "Good girls! You get that leaf!" Something that seemed to only cheer them on before they pounced the leaf and set to tearing it apart bit by bit. Once the leaf had been defeated the pair ran over to him, jumping up on him, demanding to be picked up.
Kneeling down he scooped the pair up, snuggling against them, and gave them both kisses, "Such good girls you are." A moment later the pair went racing away again, this time toward someone that was approaching him. It looked like... Lily? She was with his uncle for a time before the blind man headed into the inn along with his raptrix while Lily headed toward him. Waving his arms he called out, "Lily! Are you back already? That was a rather short trip." As he walked toward her the pair of little loatoa set to running circles around her and her pets, squeaking in an excited manner, obviously trying to figure out who she was.

Li walked over, reaching out to catch hold of the collars that his pets were wearing to keep them from jumping too much. The moment they saw the serpent it was obvious that they might want to try to jump it... or worse try to eat it. He shook his head, giving them each a tap on the nose, "Behave. That one is her pet, it is not for eating." The words might not mean anything to them but the taps on their noses did, it was a training command that caused them to calm down. At least to a degree. They were still wanting to jump around Lilif but now because they just wanted to be pet, not because they wanted to eat the snake.
Looking up to Lilif he said, "This Maarit and Stormy, a pair of loatoa I got at pets. They are a handful but I love them." He scratched them both behind the ears before looking up to Lilif and asked, "So... you said something about a snowy Tale? I have to say I'm curious."

Giving a nod he made a motion with his hand, pointing toward the stables, and gave a little whistle. Almost instantly the pair of loatoa were racing ahead toward the stables, climbing up and over the bottom half of the two piece door that went into the stables, off to search for any rodents that might have gotten in. He turned to look over at Lilif and her pets saying, "Alright, let's get him inside. There are some free stables so it should be alright for him to head into one of them."
He moved ahead a few steps of Lilif and her pets so that he could open the bottom half of the door that Maarit and Stormy had gone over, leaving it open for those following him, and opened one of the doors into one of the stables next, "There we go!"
Once the stable stood ready for Peridot he turned to look at Lilif, "Well, I'm glad that you were able to find my uncle and get back here. I'm sure you can try again soon to get to Tale." And actually get there instead of going to Zena instead. He found himself wondering how she'd ended up there when she had a map. Had it been upside down again? He supposed that it was altogether possible but it had worked out. It seemed that Chi's blessing was upon her even though she wasn't of the Ice or Wind tribes. Maybe they helped her because some of her family was Wind Tribe?

Li suddenly gave pause as he turned to look over at his friend as she produced the strange looking creature. It looked rather small, with interesting colors, and a glowing tail? As he set to studying it he found that it also had four eyes which was also strange but very interesting. Instantly he wanted one of those creatures... but felt that maybe he should wait. He still hadn't revealed the truth about his loatoa after all so he shouldn't just go and get even more pets straight away.
Once the big guy was in his stall Li said, "He really is an interesting beast. Then again it seems like all of your critters are. You must have some amazing luck to get to meet with them." He looked over at the sisters that were racing around the stables, chirping up a storm, trying to find some morackers to eat, and he said, "I'm happy with my girls, of course, but I rather like the ones that you have as well."
Stepping closer he lifted a hand and motioned to the lizard and asked, "What is that one? I've never seen anything like it before."

Li gave a jump of surprise when the lizard suddenly stuck her tongue out, smacking him in the hand with it. He starred, mouth a bit agape, before he said, "That was... unexpected. Sitara, huh? She's neat. The glowing especially... makes me want to get one of those for my mother since I think she'd appreciate something of that sort." Something that was pretty, small in size, that was able to glow, and had jewels on it. It was as though it was created especially for his mother or something.
Moving to fetch some hay and grain for Peridot he made sure the beast had some food to eat before he closed the door to the stall behind him, "You enjoy yourself, Peridot." Turning his attention back to his friend he said, "Alright, shall we head back inside? It's going to be warmer in there and we can get you something to eat and drink if you like?"

Li gave a laugh at the expression or lack there of that the lizard gave him. Turning he gave a whistle that called his loatoa to him. He knelt down, holding out his arms, and the girls jumped into them. After hugging them close he pushed back to his feet and started to lead the way back to the inn, going inside and out of the cooler weather. As he walked he said, "I look forward to when we have nice weather again."
He lifted a hand up, pushing the door open, and motioned for Lilif and her two reptilian friends to head in first before he said, "If you want to sit at one of the tables I can bring you something." Once inside he released Maarit and Stormy to go running along through the place. There were a few more people around then usual, mostly due to the weather and the people that wanted to avoid it, "Does stew sound good?" While he was fetching her food he should ask around, see how everyone was doing, and see if they needed anything. He wasn't the one on duty when it came to serving people but that didn't mean he couldn't help out. He was heir to this place after all so he had to do his all.

Li gave a smile as he went about his work, talking to a few people here and there, refilling a few mugs with beer, then returned to where Lilif was sitting. He set down a bowl of stew, a spoon, and a mug with some juice in it before he settled down at the table across from her, "Alright, sorry about that. There were a couple of others out there that were looking for some top ups when it came to their drinks and stew." He explained to his friend as he watched the two reptiles that she had with her.
"Those two really are interesting." He said not bothering to poke at them again since the last time that he had he'd gotten licked by the weird, glowing lizard. Best to give the odd creature its space he thought to himself before turning back to Lilif again, "If you want anything more in the way of stew or drink let me know."
