Mite Bors didn't know what he was doing. A frown crossed his face as he tried to make out some of the items on the quest board, Mite on a leash next to him, but nothing was going on so far, he just... couldn't read and needed to come to terms with that. Someone came by after a few moments of him trying to search and offered to help him out, pointing out an easy quest for him to do. Religion huh? That was different, and he didn't know if he would be good with that or not. Frowning a little, he wondered what he could teach people about his religion that would actually make sense to them. They would have to deal with his broken Common or fluent Uthax, however, and he looked down at Mite, wondering if this was the best way to go about acclimating him to different people just yet.

Tapping his chin a little, the large man thought about it for a little while before giving a small shrug and patting the large Dragon Oak offspring on the head. He would do this, he figured with a small nod, he would teach others about his religion, he could focus on the beads in his beard, he figured with a small smile, those were always something of interest to people when they saw them close up. It was something to see for now, but all he wanted was to get this done so he could go to the small shop next to the board. He had heard this was a good way to get credits, so that was mainly why he was doing it. If he could get a little more stuff to go with it, then that was just fine as well he figured with a smile and a nod.

He thought about it a little more and then looked down at Mite again. He wasn't too interested in much just yet, which was fine with the large man he thought as he turned and wandered off toward the building where the instruction was supposed to happen. This was going to be difficult, especially in broken Common, when he didn't know a lot of the words he needed for some of these things the beads stood for, but that was going to be fine, he would get through it and hopefully people wouldn't be too upset with his attempts. Bors frowned a little though, he didn't know if people would be scared of him or something, which was definitely something that was going to bother him if he thought about it too hard, but it would be fine. Finding himself nervous, he really hoped this was going to be alright in the long run, though he wasn't sure he wanted to find out.

Mite just went along with him, his large head bobbling every now and then as he trotted next to the big man. Bors glanced over at him with a little smile, he was going to be his mount when he was big enough, for when and if he needed one that is. Giving a little sigh, the man pushed open the door to the building and squeezed through the entrance, eliciting gasps from the people inside when they saw just how big he was. Bors smiled apologetically and was led to the front of the classroom where he stood for a bit, thumbing through his beads and trying to think of which one would work out the best to start things off on. Maybe it would be best to speak in Uthax as well, that was the thing most people wouldn't really expect, and it would help them to learn a language.

After a little while of thinking, he finally nodded and then made sure Mite was comfortable. People seemed to be a little uneasy around the man and his large Dragon Oak baby, but they worked well together and that was that. He nodded again and then turned to them, pointing to one of the beads on his beard, "Bors has many beads, all mean something in Bors' religion. Leaf on redwood! Means Bors knows plants." The man gestured for people to come up to him so they could see the bead he pointed at, but no one came up to him just yet. That was the hardest part, before the teacher of the class slowly made their way forward and smiled nervously before peering at the bead, looking a little more delighted when they backed off again. Bors beamed, his bright pink eyes gleaming in the light of the room as he looked on.

He tapped his chin a little and stroked his beard before some of the kids came up to him slowly and carefully, as though not to anger the large man for now. Bors chuckled and squatted down to show them the bead he had spoken of, and they all giggled and ran back to their seats, a few of them gently touching his fur for a moment or two. Usually he didn't like that, but he tolerated the children doing it to him, he wasn't going to scare them off when he was trying to be seen as a gentle giant after all. He didn't want to scare anyone off if he could help it at least, he figured with a small sigh as he stood back up and stretched, glancing over at Mite as he wondered how the Dragon Oak was doing for now. Mite seemed to have a small following as well, not many people had seen a wingless Greater Dragon Oak before.

Bors waited for everyone to settle down again before patting Mite on the head and smiling, pointing at another bead on his beard. It was made of onyx and had a little horn carved into it. "Bors has more beads. This bead for Bors' breeding job in north," he told them, and motioned for them to come back up and see. They could even sit in front of him if they preferred, right in front of them if they needed to in order to see them better. Getting up and walking every time would get annoying after awhile he knew, so he offered the option to them just in case. He smiled a little, his tusks jutting out of his lower jaw, and he wondered what would happen if he scared all of them off. It wouldn't do, of course, but that was still an option if they got to be a little more than he could handle.

They came over again and looked at the black bead with the little horn on it. On one hand it made sense, as most animals up north seemed to have horns, but not a lot of them understood that, which was a shame he thought with a frown. Mite whined a little, he was starting to get a bit hungry, and the man wasn't taking him home just yet. That was fine though, Bors motioned for him to calm down, they would go home soon, just one more bead for today and then they could go. Still though, they were looked at this bead still and he didn't want to interrupt them or anything, that would just scare them off and he couldn't handle that he thought with a little frown. The frown seemed to startle a few of them, but... that was something he could live with if he had to, he supposed.

Bors pointed to another bead with a smile on his face, this one was made of bone and had a little flower on it, "This for Bors' ability name all flowers in tundra. Not many, but long names." He chuckled a little and squatted down again so they could see it a little more easily. He was proud of all of his accomplishments, and any time someone got a new bead, it was a big deal no matter what else was happening. It was a cultural and religious activity, he knew, though sometimes it didn't make much sense, that was fine he thought, it just made sense to him and his people. He straightened up and stretched, hands pressing against the ceiling before he patted Mite on the head and gathered up the leash again. He was ready to go, he just hoped this would work for the job, that was the issue.

Everyone seemed a little sad when he started to leave with Mite, but they seemed to understand when he frowned a little and looked at his Dragon Oak, who was whining out of hunger. He couldn't keep him away from food for too much longer at least, he knew, and the others nodded before letting him go again. Of course he could simply leave without an issue if he wanted to, but he was trying to be nice and that was that, he supposed with a small sigh. The man shook his head with a chuckle and wondered what to do for the moment as they left the little building. He needed to care for the animals again, just in case, but for now this was enough. Maybe he would check out the job board again, just to see what he could do for now and all that. Bors chuckled, at least he was done with this job.
