Hebal nodded but jumped up and made a loud cheer seeing her ship slide across the finish line a small amount of time faster than Jeckharts "Yaaaay I did it! Good game and all that, you probably just got unlucky" she smiled stopping to give Jeckhart a small hug before running around again in celebration "Hmm as fun as this is... isn't it nearly time we have to move? It's kind of getting dark" she pondered skipping around the machine"
Amane shrugged tilting her head "hmm... well you look fine to me. Just right in fact even without your silly extra preparation time in the morning" she commented glancing at him from both sides. "No more than half an hour to get ready in the morning in my family and thats all I need really and thats coming from al all fur person" she added pulling a face at Merric. I suppose it would take an hour and a bit if I were to do a full fur wash since it has to dry"

Yuudai nodded ignoring the glare he was receiving from Satoshi "If not used properly then yes. the use of clones while sleeping prevents a steady recovery of chakra and energy so if overdone can lead to tiredness the next day so if thats what your planning on doing I would recommend an easy and stress free day tomorrow" he sighed.
Satoshi rolled her eyes and waved a hand dismissively "you worry too much, I can easily handle the amount of clones going overnight and be ok the next day. He just worries too much about stuff like that because he works with young ninjas who aren't as developed as myself" she quietly added to Gil in his ear.
Felina smiled glancing up at her home "So in that case no need to retire that soon then though soon you'll have to start thinking in terms of elven years if we're going to get you that item. And then soon time will seem to be so much slower, whether or not thats a good or bad thing us up to you I guess" she smiled taking Oassu's hand. "Now maybe one day if you keep working a little longer then maybe we can both get a mini palace like this one somewhere"

Gil nodded understanding before deciding to change the subject "So Yuudai, what's it like training the little ninja? Nadira tells me some of the training methods the children have to go through can be quite extreme." he said.
Oassu smirked "Well then I'll need to leave to ply my trade a bit for a while" he said "And don't be ridiculous I'd like to get an even bigger palace than this, on it's own little island, we need to think bigger!" he said.
Jeckhart blushed at the hug before looking over at Hebal's machine "It seems the machine still wants you to play, perhaps it's like a knockout tournament?" he asked getting up from the seat and moving away "Though perhaps you should let one of the other children play with it then since we are going to be late I think if we dilly dally" he said.
Zadina's face turned slightly red but he smiled anyway "Well it's nice of you to say but there's all these royal protocols that need to be done though a full fur wash sounds like it would feel great afterwards" he said examining Amane "Isn't it difficult with all that fur because of how dirty it would get?" he asked.

Hebal nodded glancing back at the machine "Well in that case whoever jumps on that machine next will be surprised with a nice free ride probably after the show. Still it was fun wasn't it, not the same as actually being in the air as I like my jumping but still. Maybe I have what it takes sometime to learn to fly the airship if Alpha would allow it" she sung waiting for Jeckhart to catch up with her by the exit.
Amane giggled shaking her head at Zadina "your royal protocols are pointless and silly if you ask me. Should be more focused on being nice and helping people than rules and manners and appearences" she muttered looking down at her furry hands. "My fur isn't that dirty really because I'm careful so its just a quick splash all over, it's only really the hands and feet and face that ever get especially dirty but thats like everyone because your always using them for something. A good brush will also make your life much easier"

Yuudai sighed holding back an extra comment he was going to make "It's not so bad. I just teach the basics and then when people graduate from the school they become trainee ninjas. Its more the place where we work out who has and hasn't got what it takes to be a ninja based on how they handle simple jutsu and then after that they get sorted into teams and how extreme the training methods are depend on the individual team instructor.
Satoshi scratched her head in thought "Yeah my teacher wasn't so bad at first. But I remember that time when your teacher pushed you off a cliff to see if you had mastered teleportation or not" she recalled seeing a small shudder from Yuudai.
Felina laughed gazing up at the towers "Well bigger would certainly be a way for you to attract everyones attention which... isn't a good thing if your going to run a thieves guild. But what would we do with all the rooms, they would be a nightmare for cleaning and it wouldn't be a little island for sure. would it just be half the rooms were all your treasures"

Gil nodded indicating for Enkidu to lie down seeing he was on the verge of jumping on the table to find the food "Sounds brutal, my first master was pretty rough but never really got anything life threatening, didn't actually do live combat in the wild with him" he said.
Oassu shrugged "Who cares with a palace and guards like that we could be untouchable" he said excitedly "On our own island we'd be free of the law anyway and could use the rooms to house the poor and train them to be expert thieves and we'd be a beacon for the poor all over the world!" he said happily.
Jeckhart scratched the back of his head "I'm sure an airship is more complicated than that game made it seem still you are right we really should be off, Alpha is waiting for us and it would be a shame for them to give away our seats because we are a little late" he said.
Zadina giggled "Mother says appearences are really important when you are a noble, if you look unkept a rival may see you as weak and poor and take the opportunity to invade your lands and so it is important to appear strong and clean to the elven community at all times" he said "Still I'm really too young to get involved in such things yet though I imagine such things will be expected of me once I've grown up a bit and finished the pilgrimage probably" he sighed.

Amane blinked still confused "I don't get it but I'll take your word for it though momma said to me always that it doesn't matter what you look like thats important. But how you act and treat others is whats important. Though if anyone tries to invade your land not thata I knew you had any, they will have a nasty surprise. though if you do have some land maybe I could use it for summoner training and will try not to destroy it"
Hebal shrugged bouncing around on the spot "Well even if so it's a big step in the right direction towards being able to fly stuff" she concluded skipping out the building resisting themurge to open her small prize box just yet. "Hope Amane's been having a good time... most likely since she thinks Zadina is awesome even if the flashy lights arent her thing"

Satoshi sighed hearing a loud roar from somewhere within another room "Well at least dad is hyped up about dinner, that or he has just finished training from the sound of it. Give it a couple of minutes and one of us two is going to receive a rather painful crushing."
Yuudai snickered glancing in the direction of the sound "Yep that will most likely be you since its not often nowerdays he gets to give his only daughter a hug. Once out the classroom and actually a ninja it's usually straight into the field getting the good old practical life training as they call it. Still better than some villages I've gone to where you have to fight another student to the death just to get a place as a ninja and-" he cut off having to hold down a laugh seeing his father grab Satoshi from behind almost smothering her in a giant bear hug.
Felina raised her eyebrow but quickly changed her expression and smiled noticing the upcoming guards on their regular patrol of the area "You're not one to do subtle are you. Don't want to make it too obvious where we are hiding aboove the law or not. Though isn't there some legend out there already about a thief who steals and then gives everything to the poorest people in society?"

Gil smiled slightly uncertain as to whether or not Satoshi was ok with the vice-like hug "Well he certainly is affectionate towards you at least" he said examining Satoshi's father
Oassu shrugged "Well that's a philosophy that's been around for a long time amongst thieves it's thanks to that that things like guilds can even be functioning" he said "Maybe there was one thief who did it long ago but it would've been long before my time" he said.
Zadina giggled "Well I have a lot of land, you'd need to summon a big thing to destroy it all like Bahumut though perhaps you best master summoning in a temple first before you go about trying to destroy my lands." he said
Jeckhart nodded "I think the boy has strong feelings for Amane so it's a shame there's an inevitable heartache there, unless he one day sets off on a quest like the one Oassu and Felina are working on still so long as they both have fun I suppose it's just childish fun" he said

Hebal paused thinking for a moment "I dunno, I just figured they were close friends since I'm not sure if either one of them is quite old enough to start taking an interest in girls and boys. Hehe will be funny when Zadina really gets to that phase and possibly very awkward when around people like Sephy since she's not exactly known for her... modesty" she whispered grabbing Jeckharts arm and dragging him along at a faster pace.
Amane frowned shaking her head "no no you have me mistaken, I would never try and deliberately destroy your stuff but some of the really big ones will be too big to summon in just any old temple" she explained turning slightly red under her fur. "Thats still a while anyway so if your worried that much you have time to clear a big space"

Satoshi gasped speechless for a moment once released "Yeah sure theres affection and then theres murder and sometimes theres a very fine line between the two. It's no wonder I've developed such a good ability to hold my breath for ages" she eventually answered jokingly after listening to what her father was trying to say to them before he walked off in the direction of the kitchen.
"He's like that with all of us at one point. But basically he said that dinner is almost served and theres a small selection of beverages that he's going to fetch for you to choose from" Yuudai translated before smiling andgreeting the other figure who entered the room unable to speak Agralian."Haru isn't good at speaking different languages either but he knows the incredibly basic phrases"
"And there was me thinking thieves just wanted most of their takings for themselves since they felt like they earned it for all the effort that went into the theft though you'll definitely have to chip in for that big palace as I'm only second in line to the throne, soon to be third so will have nowhere near as many riches as some of my other siblings" Felina added.

Gil nodded "Sounds nice though do they teach Agralian at your schools?" he asked "After all your dad never learned it so is it an optional thing?" he asked uncertainly waving to Haru figuring he wouldn't get a response anyway.
Oassu chuckled "Oh don't get me wrong I'm sure loads are like that but no some thieves organisations exist to get people off the streets and just give them a place to stay even if it means living outside the law" he said "Then I'll just need to ensure Jenna's efforts pay off" he said
Jeckhart shrugged "Well maybe I'm misreading him though yes I imagine it could be awkward, then again demons are typically aversive to most races in this world on first sight so I trust Zadina will be fine" he said stumbling after Hebal
Zadina giggled "It's alright we'll be sure to get you an audience with my uncle Elorin when if we go to Yithra he can summon bahumut so you can pick up nice tips about summoning him from him" he said happily.

Hebal frowned slowing down suddenly remembering she couldn't just jump over small crowds while dragging someone along with her "I guess so. Maybe its my upbringing but I always found some demons nice to look at in first sight as your not all ugly. I mean Sephy isn't a bad sight but not my type" she shrugged bouncing on the spot impatiently as she waited for a couple to slip past them before moving. "I hope seats are reserved on the tickets otherwise, with people like this gathering we might not get good ones"
Amane sighed with relief and smiled at Zadina "Well sure your uncle is welcome to give me some pointers if he's not too busy doing king stuff like making sure all the elves don't do anything mean or naughty and then protecting them all from evil too. Though is it true that he's really tall like a tower? Can't remember where I heared it but I recall hearing somewhere he's like 20 feet tall"

Satoshi shook her head ignoring the general conversation that went on for a moment between her two brothers that consisted of the younger one receiving a lecture on manners "Nope Agralian isn't something everyone teaches, especially since theres countries with other languages closer to us. We'll lern Mari's language in school but anything else has to be taught by your individual teacher so as harsh as some of them were, they were good with languages" she explained watching Haru sigh and reluctantly wave at Gil under Yuudai's instruction.
Felina nodded watching the massive side gate being opened for them in advance by the people on duty "Well you might have to chip in occasionally or just become very good at managing and motivating all the other thieves. Shame you don't have better welfre system if you need thieves to get people off the street. Yithra doesn't have that problem"

Gil frowned "Boy's going to find life difficult if he can't learn to interact properly with others" he said "Still your folks must be thrilled to have the entire family home for dinner finallly considering how much Nadira travels" he said to Yuudai.
Oassu chuckled "I'm sure that's not true, every city has a couple folks who fall through the cracks, a little crime and a little poverty at least, this place is big and you've led a sheltered life, can you honestly say you've seen every dark little nook and cranny Yithra has to offer?" he asked
Jeckhart frowned not really comfortable with this topic "Well demons often assume forms pleasing to other's eyes sometimes for malicious purposes Seph is a half demon hence her form is more or less human however to my understanding some cities place strict laws on her choice of attire because she is so humanoid." he said
Zadina giggled "Oh he's not that tall don't let scary rumours like that bother you he's tall for an elf though but all elfs are big since we developed from Trees essentially" he said "Though I'm sure he'll be delighted to help you out" he chirped excitedly.
