Before Sunhaven, Ilijas had not known luxury or comfort. Such things did not exist where he came from, the mountains and vast wilderness extending no concept of home  to the young boy. Adjusting to clan life, as of result, had been difficult for him- was still difficult for him. He did not quite comprehend the idea of group living or even the many traditions that ruled within Sunhaven, feeling his way through practical darkness as he tried his best to fit in here. Admittedly, he had almost left, nature beckoning him back into its waiting arms, the promise of adventure and survival one almost too good to pass up. Had Beverly not joined him in this place he probably would have been gone by now, wandering around on some distant mountain with his camera and satchel and journal in tow.

But he was happy here, happier than he'd ever outwardly confess. Sunhaven was a good fit for him and its inhabitants provided him with a plethora of new mediums for photographs. Leaving would destroy him and so, for now, Ilijas had resigned to hanging up his traveler ways. Settling wasn't so bad either, but he liked to think that Beverly had greatly expedited that process. Ilijas guessed that it didn't matter though, not when he had caught sight of some stranger merely wandering around on their Boardwalk. Did she live here? Was she a joiner he had missed? Or had they let some mystery girl this far into their territory? Frowning, the Hearthkeeper decided to investigate, hoping that that was included in his job description.

[color=#454843]"Hey... uh... You from around here?" The adolescent inquired, arching a metaphorical brow at Acacia, [color=#454843]"I'm Ilijas. We definitely haven't met before."
