Oeormi busied himself the way most of his troupe had at their own places, by enjoying the attention that he could get from the ladies, and arranging to come back for performances by the whole troupe. But he also got familiar with how the draks moved, what they looked like, their habits, and their abilities.

Without that knowledge Oeormi realized he'd never get home, let alone get the troupe to perform here! He was good at tasks setting him to learn new things, and also good at repeating them without fail or error. When you juggle fire for a living, he explained, there was little room for mistakes!
The climate at Chindor wasn't the same as he was used to at home, on the dry plainslands near Dun Keiba. It was chilly, foggy, ruining his hair and sometimes made Oeormi homesick. It would be a nice place to visit and see the sights - but he definitely missed the warmth of the tropical land he was born at.
That climate dumped endless rain on things, always coating the outside of every building and tree with wetness. It was completely foreign then, that in the light rain of one morning, the draks decided this was the right time to bring their offspring out to join.
Oeormi wasn't going to make a big deal of it, like the one girl who stood beside him, but he was chilled to the bone and wanted to get dry as quickly as possible. As the discourse between drak mother and the girl ended, it seemed, it was time for the bondings.
The first to step from behind the rain mother drk was an Ore drak, just like his father. Realeien looked proudly towards his first born son.

The baby drak wobbled towards the half circle of aspirants. He sat down and looked up for a moment, seeming a bit angry that his fur was getting wet.
"I know how you're feeling," Oeoremi answered to the silent call of the drak "Why don't we get you some food in that tummy of yours. Inside is a really warm fire.."
"Yesssshhh, that sounds wonderful." The drak grinned.
"You'll be in training with Mary," someone said as they exited, "that's an honor - she's a Judge!"
