Spirit Animal Ficlets

Precious

Jesper stared at the baby that Tipu was cooing at. A chubby little Saian baby. The little baby giggled as the mind master tickled his tummy. Jesper smiled "You must really like kids," he said.

Tipu smiled as he looked up "I love kids! I had planned on becoming one of my village caretakers for the children," he replied.

Jesper raised an eyebrow "Village? I thought nomads don't have homes?" He asked.

Tipu chuckled "That's what we want you to think, we do have a permanent settlement but that's for the elderly, weak, sick, the younger children and expecting mothers. The nomads of our village usually go on long trips to hunt and gather food. All nomadic groups have a single permanent settlement we just don't tell anybody incase we get attacked," he explained.

Jesper stared at Tipu with wide eyes "You've got to take me there sometime! I want to see where you grew up even for a little while!" He begged.

Tipu laughed as he looked at the baby again "Well that's the problem, we don't let in random outsiders. You've got the complete the three trials to be welcomed inside," he said.

Jesper grabbed his boyfriend's wrist "And what are they?" He asked.

Tipu shrugged ad he wiggled his fingers over the baby's face, getting a happy coo as response "I don't know, my dad knows so you'd have to get into contact with him to find out," he replied. The baby started giggling as their littler fingers curled around Tipu's index finger. Jesper knew he was going to get inside that dann settlement if it killed him.

Jesper had sent a letter to Master Ganh asking about the trials to enter the village and Master Ganh had explained that each were very long and hard to complete. They were made to prove anybody attempting to join would be complete worthy to pass but if you failed any one of the three trials it was an instant failure and there was no second chances.

Trial one had to involved living on only things provided by the earth and nature around him for a month. That meant no already prepped meats or east access to water or np place to sleep.

Jesper had read the first trial and immediately realized. It wasn't that important to enter the village, after all it was only one earth nomads village not like it was life or death for him to pass or do any of the trials.

That and Ganh had sent him some baby pictures of Tipu. He was all chubby and tiny and absolutely precious. Jesper loved it more than anything else.

Tipu badgered him about having the pictures being hung up in a frame on the wall near the door because too many people would see it when they were leaving his room. Which was exactly what Jesper was going for when he hung it there. Tipu was a percipus baby and he wanted people to realize and acknowledge that cute chubby thing had became a handsome fit young man and also his boyfriend. Tipu had blushed ad red as fire.
