Corella shook her head "Nah uh, the temple is selected because its the highest point and its the only part of the city that can be seen from the sky as theres less trees about. And then people can either join us up on the temple or go to a few clearings to watch but the majority of people just pick a tree to climb in and watch from there. I never used to know just how many good climbers were out there" she answered a little surprised the safety had been questionned earning a small snicker from Felina.
"Yeah I've watched it from the trees before, Hayate took me up there one year when I kept moaning about not being able to go in the forest itself or up trees since I wasn't a good climber and dad told me off for trying all the time" Felina added in to Oassu.
"If you say so, just be sure to tie up all the loose ends when it comes to enemies and you'll probably be ok but I know you have somewhere else to go so... it was nice meeting you and have a good night" Yuudai smiled and provided Gil with a small bow
"Leaving so soon? Well if you have plans we won't keep you but be sure to come by tomorrlw as theres a couple of things we would like to give you as a festival gift and be sure to visit the dragon shrine for good luck tomorrow" Yuki told them while Ikara having worked out what was going on stood up and gave Gil a strong handshake that could have probably injured a smaller person.
"Yeah thanks for the meal and the coffee afterwards and we'll see ourself out and..." Satoshi trailed off as it was her turn to receive attention from her dad in the form of a bear hug. Finally catching her breath she made a quick goodbye in her own language before making for the door.

Oassu smirked "Well nice of him to do that though sounds like a nice tradition to climb trees to see the fireworks" he said picturing a nice elven family doing such a thing "I imagine living in a forest most folks probably would learn to climb trees for fun after all this forest is probably much safer than the Viera ones which often still teem with fiends considering there's a big city here" he said.
Gil smiled returning Yuudai's bow and matching Ikara's handshake "I'm sure we'll be back tomorrow we've got a couple presents for tomorrow as well to prepare but thanks very much for having us" he said turning to leave whistling for Enkidu to follow.
Itaka chuckled "I think I got a little preview earlier before we left but sure can show me the full decorations tomorrow" he said "Still sure you'll like your present as well but just need to wait" he said turning Boris and the Chocobos around the edge of a forest.

Seph smiled allowing Chobi to stroll along a little way ahead guessing she knew where she was going "Aww well thats a shame as I'm not the kind of girl who enjoys havin to wait around for things but I'll try for you" she winked at him allowing Chobi to circle Boris. "And you can see for yourself when we get in later unless your planning to take me somewhere else overnight its not like you can miss anything that shiny and its rare to find me deocrating anything" she smirked.

Felina nodded tilting her head to watch as various servents came in carrying silver platters to the table for them "It is a tradition with the amount of elves up there as not everyone can get to the temple at night and the view is probably better for most of them anyway"
Corella paused partly wishing she could try now "Well not all elves are good climbers, I don't think I've even tried to climb up a tree in my life. And I don't know about viera forests to say how safe they are but it didn't seem to bother your viera friend you brought here last time"
Satoshi sighed making a swift exit through the front door and as Gil followed her out gave him a small smile "Glad your good with the family and now its just the team mates you have to impress not that it will be a hard job" she told him closing the door behind him. "Also hope dad didn't break your hand, he's nearly done that before with a handshake"

Oassu leaned back as a servant placed a napkin down in front of him "This just feels uncanny being served like this" he muttered to himself before returning his attention to Corella "Well the fiends mostly stay away from the villages because they have guards and Hebal isn't really one to settle down in a village anyway right now" he said.
Gil nodded "If you say so, I'm sure it'll be fine though lets hope Hitomi isn't mad at us for being late" he said kneeling down to feed Enkidu a treat "There you were a good boy back there with those other dogs" he said happily petting Enkidu "And don't worry about your dad, I'm pretty strong myself if you didn't notice" he chuckled.
Itaka frowned watching Boris get increasingly agitated before kwehhing at Chobi to get back in line "Seph you might want to move Chobi away Boris is a bit worried he'll bump into her if she keeps running around like that" he said steering Boris straight once past the forest "Still yeah why the urge to decorate everything then?" he asked

Seph shrugged steering Chobi back alongside Boris ignoring the teasing kweh she gave the other chocobo. "Well why not? I guess I was just in a bit of a festive mood and thought I would do some of the celebrating early with the decorating. It's been a while since I've actively celebrated the festival because of working and travelling and nobody really to do so with. I mean theres Alpha but I always thought that was more something saved for him and his kids"

Felina snickered seeing the servant scurry away also having heared what Oassu had muttered "You can always ask them not to give you any napkins or serve you properly. Though surely you could get used to it. And yeah Hebal moves around and is too easy going to worry about much really. Its nice having such a free spirited companion"
Corella paused in thought for a moment "Well she has a kid doesnt she that lives in one of the forests, cant be too bad if she trusts her to be safe there despite all the fiends and we have a massive security around the forest. Theres like thirty different ranger outposts. Though rumour has it theres some pretty centuars in the forest at the moment to watch out for so some areas might be off limits again"
Satoshi laughed but let out a small sigh seeing Terrato yawn on her shoulder "You were a good snake too I guess not that your the most active of things. Your going to be a lazy pet I'll bet" she muttered to the snake stroking its head with her finger. "Yeah Enkidu was susprisingly good considering Aelo was eyeing up his food all night and dad is one of those people who doesnt realise his own strength. He even punched a hole in a wall before"

Oassu nodded "I think Hayate or someone mentioned something about Centaurs earlier....offering to take us to see them" he mumbled his memory failing him "Still yeah they deal with the fiends too though from the sounds of it you've more or less domesticated the forest" he said.
Gil nodded "Aelo almost lost her head when she barged past Enkidu but yeah your father seems quite the warrior hope your teammates are half as strong as he is" he said "Though your whole family seemed relatively nice, even your little brother spoke up a bit" he said somewhat proud he'd managed to get the boy to talk.
Itaka nodded "He's probably having a great time I'd reckon, he's got Hebal and Zadina to look after though becoming more of a father figure everyday, maybe that's why he likes the kid so much" he said

Seph smiled nodding her head in agreement "Yeah alpha will be havin a good time, he might appear to be big and scary and incredibly selfish and greedy but he was a good dad to his kids and always had a soft spot for kids in general. Though I think he just likes having someone looking up to him and so long as Alpha doesn't go giving Zadina a talk about girls then hes fine. Elves and demons tend to have different ideas regarding romance" she laughed trying to picture Alpha lecturing Zadina.

Felina nodded "Yeah Vistai offered to take us to see them earlier if she found them to be ok and not as hostile as everyone fears. Knowing her she's spent half the day stalking or spying on them with an arrow aimed at their faces in case of trouble. Though I wouldn't say we've domesticated the forest, more we just know what we have to do to keep the city and visitors safe from the more dangerous parts" she explained trying to explain in a better way their relationship with the forest.
"I'm still not allowed in the forest without at least four bodyguards watching over me so can't be that domesticated. And I certainly wouldn't be offered the oppotunity to see the centuars in the forest. Shame really because I heard the white ones are really pretty and some even have the ability to see into the future according to legends" Corella mumbled sadly.
Satoshi shook her head "Maybe not in terms of brute strength. My dad doesn't fight with a weapons unless on an extremely rare occasion because most of his jutsu is physically based. But yeah you managed to get him to talk about airships a little. Congrats, you've had more of a conversation with Haru than I have had in the past 3 years"

Oassu smirked "Well maybe you could sneak away and come with us when we go see them later" he said wondering where Elorin was "Still I get it good to know you've got such precautions in place, shame they don't let you look more in the forest Corella" he said.
Gil chuckled "Well I'm sure it'll be easier for you now you know what sort of things he likes though I imagine your dad hardly fights at all or is he still an active ninja? I'd imagined with kids and his wife retired from the ninja business he'd have stopped" he said.
Itaka rolled his eyes "Well wonder why you are so different, you both live for insane amounts of time, unless any of that sin stuff Kimino talks about is true really doesn't make sense why you are so different" he said shaking his head to clear it as the farm came into view as they crested a hill.

Seph rolled her eyes fighting back a small laugh "You know, a lot of demons would take offence to that. We're different in the same way all humans are people with the personality and varied appearences. It's just more apparent because our common ancestors are much further away from eachother as you peoples and being monkeys and all once upon a time. Though I spoke to those demons, apparently Pride is my big sin though I doubt I'm going to join Kimino and his angels anytime soon"

Satoshi nodded her head "Yeah my dad is still an active ninja. Like he stopped doing it when we were children but then he got back into it when we were all older and doing our own missions and things. But he's a lot more picky about the missions than he used to be from what I've heard. My dad has never been much of a sitting down living the quiet life sort of guy and he's a higher rank than me"
Corella smiled but looked around the room checking who was about before saying "You know you could get in trouble sugesting such a thing and we would get in a lot bigger trouble if we got caught and Vistai wouldn't approve of an extra tag along without us asking dad first"
"Well then we'll just have to spend all night trying to butter dad up enough to make him agree to let you come with us. Mum might be pretty stubborn but you and I both know hes a bit of a softie" Felina whispered back optimistically. "But yeah the forest is all sorted out so if you stick to the roads you'l' be safe from being attacked by fiends because theres too many people hiding about the forest ready to take out any causing trouble"

Gil nodded "Well we were lucky to catch him then seeing he's not on a mission right now" he said "Though he's certainly impressive does he not have some kinda leadership role in the village if he's such a high rank." he asked
Oassu smirked "Well I'm sure we could manage without permission if it came to it, you're sister is a bona-fide adventurer now anyway so she can handle herself, one day I'm betting you'll be tough enough to go out without such high amount of guards" he said.
Itaka chuckled "Sure yeah...monkeys...better than trees I think though yeah you'd be hard pressed to fit in with Kimino's crew nothin against them though it's their life choice" he said stopping briefly for a quick Chocobo count before they entered the farm "Still I know you are all different though you were the one that implied all demons have crude ideas on romance" he teased.

Seph nodded without a moment of hesitation "Now thats not nature my dear Itaka, thats more down to culture. Different cultures have different ideas on romance and viera don't exactly have a much better view from the stories I've heared about them. Demons are just more upfront about what they want. And Kiminos lifestyle, no offence to him seems incredibly boring to me" she agreed winkin at Itaka.
