Akari seemed to have enjoyed his introduction, the other hadn't even noticed. Well, it hadn't been a very good one anyway. Alai uncrossed his legs and for a brief moment both hands rested lightly in his lap, and then he was reaching out to touch the phoenix. Gentle fingers reaching out to give the mystical bird a gentle scratching. Alai couldn't help but think that this woman must be somewhat special to be such good friends with a phoenix. Alai scratched the bird gently and then withdrew his hand.
He placed both hands on his book that sat on the bar top in front of him and he looked brightly at Everest. "Fresh water would be lovely!" His bright smile turned to a more toned down smile of sweet innocence. "It looked like such a lovely building, and I was tired of walking around." When he said that last bit his innocent smile turned to a soft pout. Only for a moment though, then that innocent smile was back as he looked at Akari. His expression changing to a thoughtful one "I think it would take more than a year to explore a world as large as this one. Though perhaps exploring isn't the point of the quest. Maybe it's more learning new things and meeting new people, for better or worse."
