Satoshi nodded giving gil another kunai "well your throw isn't too bad, pleanty force behind it to ensure speed. Just need to work on your technique a little. try to imagine it's a frisbee or a discuss as it requires the same sort of movements, especially if you want to throw more than one at once accurately" she lectured him followed by a demonstration "Then all you have to do is practice trial and error for accuracy. If your as good at throwing things as you are fighting normally you'll be fine"
"On the food side she's no bother what so ever. Already made a list of everything she wants at the buffet table and how she wants all seven layers of her cake done and with what flavours. It's just a lot of work but I hear her all round disinterest in dresses and invites is making it hard to get her all fitted up" Adohand laughed picturing Elithana going out just to avoid dress fittings.
Felina shook her head "Nope she's away to meet the future inlaws for the festival. I would pay to see her trying to settle in there, an elven princess going into a very rural elven community full of farmers and the like where everyone gets their hands dirty and the most action you get is running after escaped sheep"
Hayate snickered "You never know, she might enjoy a nice change in the middle of the country though I bet she's all nervous about meeting the future family since apparently Udoaver forgot to mention to his parents the fact that he was seeing someone so high profile"

Gil nodded "Well if you say so doubt I'll be quite as excellent considering all your years practice" he said turning the kunai over in his hand before lobbing it at the target in the way Satoshi instructed as it cemented itself in the frame of the target "Hmm still off target but least the right end landed this time" he muttered.
Oassu smirked thinking he couldn't picture Elithana being nervous about anything "Well I'll certainly be happy to see seven different layers of cake...could have one of angel cake, maybe another of lemon and custard...man that sounds like a great way to make a cake" he said grinning as he visualised it.
Jeckhart frowned "Well I've never been on something like that before but I imagine I've flew at speeds like that before so it shouldn't leave me feeling too unwell think it'll be ok" he said "Doesn't the noise really bother your ears at all?" he asked.
Zadina cheered for Amane "Hehe well done Amane now you got your awesome Carbuncle toy" he said looking over the other rows of cans "Can I please get a shot mister? Yeah it's our first real big holiday away" he said happily.

Hebal shrugged having made up her mind where to go next "I haven't either but it looks fun so lets ride that one!" she sung pulling Jeckhart along behind her "And the noise doesn't bother me so much anymore. You just learn to ignore the sounds you don't want to hear after lots of practice, easier still if you know what to expect. But hopefully Amane isn't too bothered by the sounds, she'll be more sensitive to it than me"
Amane cheered and clapped her hands happily before giving her large doll a much needed hug "Thanks so much mister and we totally won't tell people you helped out so you won't get in trouble. It's my first time out the forest and my mum is lucky enough to be a well travelled viera with friends who own airships.
The demon snickered and nodded "Glad you like the doll and sure you can have a shot, 10gil for one or 30gil for five" he nodded retrieving the balls and handing a new bunch out to Zadina. "We travel to a lot of holiday places like Tricasia and around that area so get a lot of tourists but it's very rare to get anyone who isn't a bangaa seeing the shows when we travel through this way. So I guess a holiday for me would be not going anywhere at all"

Satoshi smiled pulling the kunai out from the target "Yeah you did so much better that time but I think you'll have to practice a lot more before you get to try the moving targets. Which is what that little machine over there is for. It basically fires little discs into the air for you to shoot. It's really fast and is exhausting after an hours training. And then I remember complaining once so my teacher gave me an extra hour with it"
Felina raised her eyebrow "Not so fast dear, I believe we'll need to discuss the cake together and make sure we get one nice that we both like though so far so good. So long as theres no ideas of cinamon or rum in the cake I'll be happy for the time being. The best flavour also needs to be on the bottom as its bigger"
Adohand stood up collecting all the plates up now everyone was finished "Well make sure to run it by me and based on what you've suggested so far it sounds like its going to be an easy cake to make. But seven tiers will still cost you a good few thousand all the same. Not that price is a problem for you. I'll be back shortly with desert" he added taking the plates through to the kitchen.
Hayate paused grabbing hold of Tuilinn and wiping his beak properly with a napkin "Angel cake, really? Thats not really something that goes in that kind of cake. Should be thinking more about marzipan and rich chocolate and other fancy things. And then someone will have to make a little plastic statue of yourself for the top which you can take home and play with" he teased

Gil chuckled "Well I'm not exactly going to try using it very often I don't have a spare hand for carrying knives around" he said watching the machine "I know these things, Moogles use them for marksmanship training and fun" he said "It's practically a hobby and sport in Goug" he said.
Oassu frowned "I wasn't meaning it like that just saying it would be an amazing cake in my book" he muttered "Though I doubt elven weddings could handle rum in a cake how is it you make your special alcohol anyway since it has to be different from all other kinds" he said.
Jeckhart gasped skipping to keep up with Hebal "I hope so though seeing as she's fresh out of her forest I can't imagine she'll want to be going on this noisy thing too early" he said "Have you ever been to the circus before?" he asked spotting the big top as they joined the queue. Zadina nodded paying 30gil for the 5 shots beforethrowing a shot that bounced off the top can only slightly budging it further back "Aww that one is tough" he said tossing his second ball to secure the top can's fate. His second and third missed while the fourth knocked one of the bottom cans away. "I see what you mean Amane this is quite difficult" he muttered throwing the last one to clear the can with a smile "Ooh I did it Amane! I did it!" he cheered.

Hebal shook her head "Nope I've never been to a circus before, just heared about them and met the odd performer before on their way to their next location to put up the show. They must have a great time with their jobs since all the activities look so fun. and I'm sure amane will be fine since she managed to deal with the noise of the airship just fine" she sung shuffling forward in the queue.
Amane cheered giving Zadina a hug "Yay you did a good job, unlike me. I'll put that down to the fact you had a tip and I didn't" she laughed letting go suddenly realising the elf had a face full of carbuncle doll. I wonder if it's possible to knock all the cans down with just one ball" she pondered.
The demon nodded givign Zadina a small clap "Congrats, you get a prize too. Anything behind me is yours. Though to answer your question I've seen them all been knocked down in one throw before. Usually it's the mime just killing time between rehearsals but the odd visitor surprises me from time to time"

Satoshi laughed "Gil, you have six arms. If you can't manage a spare hand then what chance could any two handed sword wielding ninja have" she teased turning the machine on allowing it to fire a disc into the air. "I bet they don't have one of these blue machines in Goug, it's for defense training where you have to either dodge or deflect the kunai. I won't turn this on for obvious reasons, plus you need a trained supervisor with you to use it normally"
Hayate yawned resiting the urge to put his feet up on the table "It's made exactly the same as normal drinks only theres a lower percentage of alcohol in its ingredients and a higher percent of alternatives like water or lemonade or fruit juice. The difference is a great one. A pint and a half of the usual booze to get me drunk, more like 8 on elven drink."
Felina smiled ruffling Oassu's hair "Hey, if you want a tier of angel cake thats ok so long as I can get a nice white chocolate and strawberry cake for another tier. Rum from what I've tasted of it wasn't that great anyway so why people would want it in things like cake or chocolate I don't know"

Gil chuckled "Well I could probably just ask the boys at Goug to modify my armour to shoot kunai from like one of my wrists or something" he said "Besides if I'm wielding 6 swords I'd have to stop and sheathe one to get a kunai out of my armour," he said "And no but Moogle gunners generally don't worry about being hit more focused on being miles away" he said
Oassu nodded stroking Cid idly as he finished off his carrot "Well wonder why you guys are so susceptible to alcohol anyway, though sure strawberry and white chocolate sounds nice, does Adohand have to make many cakes for the royals? Or you think they'll go to a specialised baker?" he asked
Jeckhart nodded "Well should hope so but the activities look so difficult, I can't juggle and I seriously doubt I could pull off a tightwire act" he said wondering if they would see one later "It can't all be fun, they must have to train hard for those skill" he said leaning on the small makeshift fence to funnel the queue in.
Zadina giggled returning the hug "Can I have the water pistol please Sir?" he asked happily "Though it would be cool to see a mime with the all their invisible boxes and things, we used to have them at the palace occasionally" he said to Amane.

Hebal paused rubbing her ear in thought "Hmm... I think I could do the highwire act. Viera have real good balence and maybe with a little bit of practice I could so some of the acrobatics since I'm good at jumping and am flelxible. I think thats what Alpha's kid does, acrobatics and contortionism not that I know what the last one means" she admitted shuffling forward. "But clowning doesn't look like too hard a job, just running around being silly"
"That wasn't the kind of mime I meant but the guy can do the miming your talking about. I meant the people who can copy pretty much anything just by watching someone else do it once and very useful when someone can't perform on a night due to injuries and sickness. But here you go enjoy, in fact would you rather the red or blue one" the demon asked holding each one out in front of Zadina.
Amane nodded her head impressed "Sounds like you get all the cool stuff in your forest though I had never really heared of miming in a context other than pretending to sing along to music which isn't very skillful at all. And I would say pick the blue pistol cause it looks nicer and more watery"

Satoshi tutted giving the machine a pat before moving away "Your armour doesn't sound too practical all of a sudden but I'm sure one less sword for a minute or two won't put you at some really big disadvantage. Being able to dodge properly is useful for anyone though regardless of what weapon you might use since battles can be horridly unpredictable. Though you can imagine why the training is a bit on the controversial side I'll bet"
Felina paused scratching her ear "He sometimes makes cakes and they are very nice like sponge cake for example. But then I also noticied that when it came to asking him about making cakes he was very picky about which he would do. As for weddings.... I think he once did a croquembouche but thats not your average cake thing" she recalled.
Hayate shook his head "Nah, sugarcraft isn't his strongest skill so he tends to stay away from the big fancy wedding cakes or at least the decorating parts. As for the alcohol the answer isn't too complex. Humans and elves don't have the same anatomy which includes the liver. Humans have a greater number of enzymes in the liver that can break down the alcohol and get rid of it" he explained not entirely sure of how he knew the fact.

Gil chuckled "Well you'd be surprised how well I can dodge but most fights don't even last a minute or two and when fighting alone you want every advantage you can get" he said stroking Satoshi's hair as he linked arms with her "Well we should probably get going if we're going to have dinner later" he said
Oassu frowned "Got no idea what a croque bouche is or whatever but I'm sure whatever cake they get will be fine though I do wonder what he's prepared for dessert, we never really got that back in the guild, too pricy for the budget" he muttered.
Jeckhart smiled "I'm sure you could do a fine job of it though I worry for the poor clowns, they must be incredibly tolerant to put up with all the mockery that happens to them" he sighed thinking he'd hate it "Besides Clowns do juggling and pie throwing and other things don't they?" he asked.
Zadina nodded in agreement "Yes the blue one please it looks better but yeah miming is a funny thing, we'll hopefully see a mime act later in the show if he's not roaming about the carnival but thank you ever so much Mr" he said bowing politely to the demon.

Hebal shrugged watching the rollercoster go around guessing that in two goes time it would be them on the ride "Clowns probably know what to expect when they get into the job as it's not exactly the most serious of professions. And I think they also make balloons look like stuff, will have to try and get a balloon rabbit or something as a little souvenier though it will be finny to see a demon clown as I always thought you were a really proud and dignified sort of people... in your own way"
Amane also bowed to the demon before skipping away with Zadina doll under arm "Well wasn't that a nice demon, I thought they would be a little scarier" she whispered stopping at the ice cream stand "ooh and maybe if we're lucky we'll be able to meet the mime and convince him to teach you how to do it yourself and I'll learn to tame the animals"

Satoshi sighed turning around "Sure we can go back and see the parents though dinner will not be ready when we g et back I don't think but no harm in helping out" she yanwed taking him back round the side of the building. "Now here's a question for you, do you enjoy any forms of combat, must be very boring not having many worthy opponants if so"
Felina paused "Well that cake desert is bascially a tower of.... porfiteroles and caramel and a bit on the exotic side but your right. Only the best kind of cakes are deemed suitable for the tastes of royalty on their wedding day. You should have learned to make your own dessert as its apparently cheaper to get ingredients than buy the desert read made"
"We don't tend to have desert in the house so who knows what you'll get but it might not be specially made for you" Hayate yawned picking up Tuilinn for a cuddle "hope you've had the off thought about your wedding because I'm sure Corella and Alusaadi would like to hear all about that later on" he smirked.

Gil chuckled pulling Satoshi over for a kiss "Hey we don't need to go back just yet if you don't want to, can always find something else to do if you want" he said cuddling her "Though of course I quite like swordfighting as a form of combat, though I don't do this for glory so I'm not overly concerned about opponents" he said.
Oassu rolled his eyes "Didn't exactly have proper schooling from a baker for that sort of thing though I doubt Corella and Alusaadi will bother Felina too much about the wedding they have to focus on Elithana's one long before ours" he said.
Zadina nodded "Well not all are mean, I think my father once explained there are extremely specific rules about letting demons into this world from their own domain so only nice friendly demons would make it through here" he said "Would you like an ice cream?" he asked.
Jeckhart shook his head "We aren't in the same way elves are, back home demons wage war on each other regularly over land or food, they cannot really help it many demons have the sin of wrath or greed driving them to violence against one another" he sighed for a moment taking pity on the people in the otherworld "Not that it's all savage over there, there's still towns and occasional cities but because of the landscape of the world most of them are populated by the same kind of demon for example T'chrzka is a city floating in a lava lake in a mountainous volcanic region, Fire demons and similar types live there happily" he smiled "I couldn't live there, the volcano's surrounding the city erupt regularly and lava rain happens on the city, but that's nothing to the demons that live there and not much of the city is exactly flammable" he explained leaning on the rails "Besides I imagine the performers will probably use human forms during the show so as to not scare any children" he speculated.

Hebal shuddered her eyes appearing to wander all over the place as they followed the ride around the fair "Well that city wouldn't be for me either, I would probably die from the heat being all furry and all and catch fire. Though maybe Alpha has been there since it sounds like his kind of place. You seem to know a lot, were you born in the demon world before all the wars" she asked thinking it was odd of him to know much about the place"
"Uhuh I want the strawberry one with lots of sauce and the little chocolate thing sticking out the top" Amane answered pointing out the picture of the one she wanted to inform both Zadina ans the lady behind the cart "But hasn't a really long time past since that happened. So couldn't a whole new generation of demons be running about not checked up" she pondered
