GARY "OAKPAW" SILVIS ✧ FIREBALL — THE ASCENDANTS — TAGS[/color]

He should have been more careful and well, he could already hear his grandpa's voice in his head telling him to be more careful but he wasn't a little kid anymore. He had left his home that was in Pallet to set on his own type of adventure, he wanted to do some research of sorts and well, he loved his old man enough to try and get enough information on these animal companions that he gave to a certain handful of kids in Pallet. Pallet. He loved the place really he did but, he just wanted to be able to stretch a bit and go out on his own. He had nice memories there, he met a boy and became friends with him; Ash Ketchum. A familiar face but eventually most things that were nice usually cracked somewhere before crumbling together as a whole and over what you may ask? A seashell. He wore his half around his throat and sure enough, Ash kept his own half after that well, that was the end of their friendship. It was stupid to think that a seashell had ruined a good friendship. Well, there was no point thinking back on that as he walked over towards his red wagon that held a fishbowl and a satchel, two small animals laying there; one inside the fishbowl and the other laying on top of the satchel. A turtle and a chinchilla.

"Lunae. Squirt," He mumbled to them with a soft smile tugging at his lips, he reached into the satchel getting some marigold and cobwebs that he had stored in their, he never knew when he would need them, after all. He had always paid attention to his grandfather's herb lessons, he tried soaking up as much herb knowledge as he could due to that he had wanted to be just like Samuel Silvis, his grandfather; mentor to many and a babysitter. It was a minor goal of his though once his heart seemed to yearn for freedom and exploring, he had done just so. He had told his grandpa a while ago before he had got most of his books, satchel, and his animal companions that his grandpa Sammy had always taken interest to. Now the real question was; why was Gary bleeding? Well, he had been observing a bear from afar and he thought that he had gotten spotted and ended up tripping on a sharp rock, he already had a few scars on him but he didn't like the thought of letting fresh wounds getting infected. He chewed on the marigold absentmindedly before he would apply it to the wound wincing slightly before wrapping it up in cobwebs until he found some suitable bandages.

Once Gary had covered up his wound, he would take the red wagons handle into his jaws tugging until he had reached the border of the clan. Both his tufted ears would angle forward and his whiskers would twitch, he felt something crawl onto his back and only to realize it was Lunae as she settled onto his shoulder, he smiled at her making sure that the wagon wouldn't roll away with his books, journals, and his beloved turtle, Squirt. "Hello, I am Oakpaw Silvis but feel free to just call me Gary. I'm here to join," The caracal would take a seat flicking his ears back as his thoughts would take him away while he waited, his thoughts had settled onto a familiar Savannah cat. Ash. His thoughts lingered there for a bit before he was nudged out of them by his chinchilla's wet nose, he would scratch behind her ears "Betcha that idiot is off doing something fun or stupid." He mumbled to her.

Pele had not been a fireball for long, but as she had no mentor as of yet, following her mom seemed like a fine way to pass the time. It's not like Uncle Bast would mind anyway, he never really seemed to trust anyone but himself and her mom to watch her. However it seemed she picked a great day to go out, if there was one thing the little demon liked almost as much as shiny things, it was fluffy things. The chinchilla was the first thing to catch her eye after the shine of the turtle shell and the fish bowl and so she bounded up beside her mother, wings propping up in her excitement. "Hi I'm Pele but you can call me Pels sometimes if you want. I really like your chinchilla she looks super duper soft!"

The savannah was still working out social skills it seemed, no one inside her family really seemed to mind her lack of speech, or the oddity of it when she did use it, but who knows how outsiders would react to it.

Someone came and they seemed concerned about his injury but he gave them a smile though hearing what she said made his ears twitch briefly "Thanks for the welcome," There was a pause as she offered to show him around but Gary always preferred to go exploring on his own "I'll explore on my own but thank you for the offer, Luna." His chinchilla would twitch her unusually long ears at the other creature before her whiskers twitched nudging Gary with a little paw to let him know that there was other animals approaching. His companion animals were quite sharp and well, he felt grateful for having them since he didn't know where he'd be without them. Lunae was more alert than Squirt but the turtle was so used to being in a fishbowl all he did was squirt water at his face and occasionally turn on his back for some belly rubs. He loved the both of them and would die before he let anything happen to the companion animals that were given to him by his grandpa.

His ears angled forward as someone else scrambled over and he offered a bigger smile as she commented on Lunae, this made the chinchilla puff out her chest a bit in a proud manner "Why thank you, Pels. Her name is Lunae. . . You wanna touch her? She's softer than she looks," He said in a gentle voice and held his chinchilla in his arms though the large rodent would snuggle into his chest especially with the new face with a comment that made Gary's fur prickle slightly, his blood boiled a bit but he simply said "Not a snack. But pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Radeken." Again, he'd die for his companion animals. He didn't want anything horrible happening to them since they meant the world to him.

They must be confused why he was called Gary but introduced himself as Oakpaw, he decided to explain with a shy chuckle "My birth name is Gary but I came up with a different alias that was Oakpaw because I really enjoy nature and oak trees are uh, me and my grandpa's favorite tree." A timid smile appeared on his maw before it disappeared "Sorry if it makes no sense but take your pick," He said lightly with a small shrug though his eyes turned over in the direction of Joel who asked if Lunae was his pet "Sorta but also not really. She's my companion animal as is he," He gestured towards the fishbowl that held Squirt. It was hard explaining to people what companion animals were especially those outside of Pallet. He nodded hurriedly "A pleasure to meet you, Joel."

Then someone else approached and well, she seemed pretty kind. The art of healing and nature itself was rather enlightening for the young caracal since he had always paid attention to what his grandpa taught. His grandpa had been very knowledgeable in herbs and medicine, Gary wanted to be just like him someday. Teaching those in Pallet about companion animals and herbs but it was a minor goal as of right now since his current goal was to made his own mark in the world or one of the clans. "It's awfully nice to meet you, ma'am." He finally chirped before adding with a nod "Uh yes, that would be very helpful. . . To know where the healing shit is." A playful glow entered his seagreen eyes.
