Gil frowned watching Enkidu go down and nudge Ikota back over to Satoshi's feet before flopping down at his feet "Well I've never hunted them traditionally with a bow if that's what you mean, normally Enkidu is fast enough to catch deer if unaware otherwise I have to resort to bigger game to hunt" he said.
Oassu grinned "You'll have to teach me to do that sometime passages like this must be handy" he said stepping into the corridor "Must've had some difficulty building a place like this though, why so secretive though are you not meant to use the servant passages?" he asked examining the walls.
Zadina giggled "Well we're not weird under our clothes I think but sure you'd be slightly different" he said looking up at Hebal "Miss Hebal are you alright? You should stay still or you'll drop your ice cream with all that bouncing" he warned

Hebal nodded coming to a sudden stop realising she was already making a mess of her hands from the ice cream shaking "Oh sure I'm fine and just excited is all. I love seeing performances, especially if theres singing and dancing or something I haven't seen before. Or maybe its the sugar but oh well. Hehe Jeckhart could do a lot worse for a holiday" she answered quickly eating the ice cream off her hands.
Alpha snickered "Well you don't have to wait much longer. You keep hold of your tickets and make sure you don't lose them. Apart from that our seats are A55-A60 so thats what to look out for. And theres snacks and other things too you can buy later on" he added handing each group member a ticket.
Amane mumbled a small "ooh" taking the flashing silvery ticket from Alpha. "Thanks I'll look after it super well though good luck looking after your ticket mum" she teased folding hers over and pocketing it. "I'll take your word for it on the clothes thing as it would be very rude to look at stuff like that"

Satoshi sighed glancing over at the door slightly surprised to see several clones of her mother walking round carrying various plates and bowls of vegetables and sauces and other foods to go with the main "Looks like mum is going all out for you" she whispered before having to go back to translating. "He says that the bow and arrow is a useless weapon and that if you want to catch lots of deer properly the secret is to know how to build a good trap and perhaps one day he'll show you how to do it properly"
Felina snickered shaking her head "Well, I'm not a servant am I and the tunnels are generally where the servants go to blow off steam without people looking at them too. It connects up to the servants quarters and the kitchens and the bathroom facilities. Thats about it really and if we go in I can't guarentee where we will end up at the end as I don't know my way around. Theres other tunnels too but if one of the guards saw I would get in really really big trouble because they go outside"

Gil nodded moving slightly to let one of the clones place a bowl down in front of him "I'd like that, Enkidu try as he might can't always catch deer and it is one of the tastier meats in the wild definitely one of his favourites" he said
Oassu raised an eyebrow "Who would give the princess in trouble for using her own secret passages? Why does it matter if they go outside or not?" he asked uncertainly as they started making their way down the hall while the passageway entrance closed itself behind them causing little torches to ignite so as to provide light for them.
Jeckhart nodded examining his ticket "Well of course though I don't really consider this a holiday, holidays have to be pre-booked, this is more like sick-leave for me" he said thinking it was a bit wasteful how much ice cream had splashed on Hebal's hands.
Zadina nodded taking his ticket "Not long now, it's rather exciting but what act is it your daughter does in the show Captain?" he asked eagerly wishing he had some ice cream too.

Hebal smiled choosing to take a big bite out the bottom of the cone "Well thats even better then because on that kind of leave you spend most of the time in bed and not doing stuff which is really really boring. Thats how I found it anyway when I burned my leg one time" she cheerfully told Jeckhart taking smaller bounces through the tent.
Amane scratched her head in thought a moment "Oh oh I remember, your daughter is an acrobat right? I think one of the other demons that we encountered mentioned her briefly. A cat demon that hurt her foot or something like that" she recalled looking at Alpha for confirmation.
Alpha nodded trying not to laugh at Hebal "Sure thats her main act, acrobatics so swinging about gymnastics, stuff like that. Also does contortionism. Think its best you see for yourself what that is though as right now I can't think of the best way to describe it. It's kind of... freaky" he admitted.

Satoshi laughed glancing down at Enkidu who was about to receive his food "Nice to see you making friends already though I hope you know that when dad gets hunting with other people he gets extremely competitive" she warned knowing it would end up in some form of contest... also he said he would like that sometime and the best use for a dog is looking for any hiders out there"
Yuudai sighed and nodded his head shuffling over for the last clone to finish off setting the table "Competitive is somewhat an understatement. I'll tell you that now from my experiences of camping out with him. Keeps trying to turn Ikota into a hunting dog despite being too young"
"Apparently for security sake the ones going outside should be saved for emergencies so they stay secret. Though you would be surprised as to how many elves would dare to tell a princess off about something. Dysocu would definitely give me a telling off though he never shouts, then theres a couple of others who would but try to be reasonably soft" Felina explained glad that the torches were doing their job.

Gil smiled "Well that would hardly be a fair competition now would it? I'm a warrior not a hunter, only prey I get are those fiends stupid enough to challenge me, but we'll see was kinda hoping it would be a learning experience rather than a competition" he said watching as Enkidu emitted a hoarse yip excited at the prospect of food.
Oassu shrugged "Well what's the harm, someone has to know about them and by using them you aren't giving the secret away but whatever I ain't gonna force you to show me don't want to get on your folks' bad side after al" he said.
Jeckhart paused to object for a moment before deciding it would be pointless as the darkness and noise of the tent surrounded them, looking to the centre he commented "A lot of circuses get a bad reputation for cruelty to animals, I hope this isn't one of those kinds" he said.
Zadina scratched his chin "Contortionism? Sounds like a form of magic though I've never been told about it it'll be interesting to see" he said looking around "It's so warm and busy in here now" he said his ears slightly uncomfortable with the noise.

Alpha laughed shaking his head "No its not magic Zadina, its a physical ability and put it this way, its not something you would want to do if you dislike enclosed spaces" he replied changing into his human form guessing he would annoy a lot of people by view blocking in his usual state.
Amane nodded confused by alpha's description "Well ok I guess thats...odd. But this whole place is really warm and has been since we got here so thats nothing new to me though I bet the noise is worse for you elves" she guessed following Hebal to their seats
Hebal frowned sitting down in the first seat they owned "You really think that everyone is mean to the animals? Maybe some of the animals like to perform and do tricks in front of a crowd. I mean Yenytai would porbably love to say hi and entertain a load of people"

Satoshi frowned watching Aelo push past Enkidu, keen to get the first food regardless of which animal the food was intended for "Well sure it would start off as a learning experience, its just when it comes to having learnt it or for when you need to practice it that it will start getting like that. Though I'm sure you could take down a big slow fiend just fine"
"Enjoy everyone though it will still be very hot so I wouldn't recommend trying to lift your plates up and about too much" Yuki smiled rejoining the table without a clone left in sight "And just help yourselves to the vegetables and other bits and pieces"
Felina smiled linking arms with Oassu and squeezing in next to him "Yeah you'll just have to be satisfied for now with knowing just the one little passageway. A lot of grand elven buildings have some form of tunnel or hidden room or similar things like that. Thats the thing to have in your old buildings and it's coming back into fashion again too"

Gil frowned as Enkidu bounded towards Aelo and shoved her followed by a growl batting his bowl of food away from Aelo and tucking into it himself keeping one eye on Aelo. He extended his feet under the table to put a barrier between them "Well can't say Aelo is wise trying to steal Enkidu's food is like having a death wish" he sighed "Though your right I don't exactly go hungry on my trips, there's always something either Enkidu or myself can catch" he said starting on his food after adding some mashed potato to his plate.
Oassu smiled "Sound interesting and worth a look though I hear some of Mineerin's old castles are supposed to be riddled with them, guess they were all the rage a while back though they are pretty cool but where does this one come out?" he asked.
Zadina nodded "I prepared a spell for this situation so it's not so bad" he said casting the spell on his ears dampening the noise slightly as he shuffled past people towards their seats "Well if she's performing tonight it will be easier to see than anything else if it's so hard to explain" he said.
Jeckhart shook his head "Oh no not everyone heavens no, but I have heard the occasional story of some cruel practices in circuses though I'm sure your sprite friend would love things like that though she is a rather special case" he said sitting beside her.

Hebal nodded ignoring the mumbling from someone behind complaining about her ears "Yeah Yenytai I think gets a little lonley too but what about Ivy and Cid and even Chobi they all love being around us and doing silly things and don't get sad at all cause they are looked after so well. Ever been on a chocobo by the way? They are funny little birds but they don't seem to mind people jumping on their backs and they are quite a gentle ride"
Amane paused unsure of what Zadina had just done "Umm whats the spell, I don't see any magical changes from it I don't think" she told him glancing around looking for anything new or different "so do you know all the demons and who they all are Alpha since I'm sure you've been here a few times now"
Alpha snickered allowing Amane to go into the row first so to sit next to her mother "Nope just one or two of them though they are nice enough and the ones I don't know have always been pretty welcoming to me so I'm sure they'll be fine with you guys too"

Satoshi ler out a small sigh of relief, happy to see her dad whistling the growling dog away from Enkidu though refusing to take her eyes off him and his food "Yeah she is a bold one and not afraid of fiends when it comes to food clearly but at least Aelo knows how to do as she is told" she smiled suddenly noticing that Gil was the only one to have a knife and fork rather than chopsticks. "And dad says he apologises for her behaviour and Enkidu is right to stand his ground"
Felina paused rubbing her eyes "Well I think this tunnel actually leads into the kitches so I guess you'll come out there and if Adohand mentions a raided kitchen tomorrow then it wasn't us. I know he doesn't like it when people touches his stuff at work" she snickered thinking it would be a good idea to get a small snack. "And Elves have done a lot of building in Mineerin so I'm sure we had a nice little influence there. Plus Mineerin has one of the biggest elf populations"

Gil nodded "Yeah Enkidu isn't a friendly fiend, I just had to tame him which was difficult" he said cutting his food "Tends to have issues with folks trying to take his food but then again it is his favourite" he said happy that her dad wasn't too offended.
Oassu frowned "I dunno if we should really be there, it's about time for dinner isn't it? We'd get in the way of all the chefs and stuff they are on about" he said "Though yeah I guess Mineerin is largely human and elf though the monarchy is currently human must seem weird to the elves there outliving the kings and stuff all the time" he said.
Zadina nodded sitting between Amane and Alpha "Well it just makes things seem a bit quieter for noises like that shouting back there" he said smirking "not all magic is fireballs and lightning there's a whole field dedicated to subtle enchantments and stuff" he said.
Jeckhart nodded "I suppose that's fine but I'm not saying it's the standard for animals to be mistreated but a couple of those circuses get in trouble for that though no I've never had to ride a chocobo before but yes they make great pets I hear if expensive" he said.

Amane moaned swinging her legs undenieth her seat "Aww well that magic is clearly the more boring sort but at least it's useful for you I guess. No offence but the firebakks and the lightning are the far better looking spells to study. People will quieten down soon I'll bet so maybe you'll be able to disable the spell too"
Hebal nodded glancing over at Amane and Zadina "Yeah well they are certainly friendly birds but their food doesn't look too expensive and I don't know about the price of a chocobo other than gold ones cost more than yellow ones. Maybe they will have some of those performing, I think I saw a shoopuff earlier being fed as well. It was huuuuge bigger than Alpha even" she smiled patting Amane's ears.

Satoshi snickered "I think its a fiend thing when you consider how annoyed Seph would get if anybody were to go anywhere near her food" she muttered going for some more rice and a random sauce she didn't recognise "Maybe its a greed thing"
"So you trained Enkidu yourself? Did he not like try and bite you or worse when you were trying to do that" Yuuki asked a little surprised by what was sauce. "Still its goot to know that someone appreciates his food unlike some of the other animals" she remarked ignoring Miyu pushing the bowl away witha look of disgust.
Felina shrugged ruffling Oassu's hair "Hey you wanted to see a secret passage. Besides we can always sneak past them all if your the sneaky ninja thief you make yourself out to be" she teased making a note that one torch failed to light up as they went past "It's not that hard enough for them, I mean we are used to outliving people, watching friends grow old while you don't age at all is common when you mix with other species" she pointed out.
