NPC Ishto Skuyanhjin[Ba'ku village - Skuyanhjin home]In the past year, Fabiano Moreno had become a close friend to Istho. There was no denying that after the death of his wife, the foreign man had turned out to be someone he could talk to about the things he didn't want to burden his teenage son with. Although they banned technology from their lives, it was not lost on Ishto that his little daughter had grown close to Fabiano as well and her curiousity about the technological things was undeniable. While his son Rahul was unaccepting of everything that had to do with Fabiano, he noticed that learning of foreign things was not necessarily bad for her.
It was a quiet night. Benjin was asleep for more than three hours already, he had brought Tess to bed half an hour ago. Ishto had just picked up the kettle to refill Fabiano's and his own mug with tea leafs in them before he settled down in one of the armchairs while a fire was crackling in the fire place. Fall was over and winter was coming. Harvesting was mostly done and the next couple of months the work load would be lighter.
Rahul emerged from his room and entered the living room and kitchen area, grabbing his jacket made from animal skin hanging near the door.
"I'll be out with Den'ru and Rah'lan, we want to watch the pleiades", he announced and smiled at his father as he alread opened the door.
"Don't wait for me!""Have fun", Ishto smiled back. Shortly after the door fell closed. The Ba'ku then looked over to his friend, Fabiano.
"My son doesn't seem to be as uninterested in the stars as he tries to give away at all", he ramarked light-hearted.
