Awessi smiled and nodded his head "Well I'll accept that. Most of us aren't exactly the most friendly looking bunch out there. I was just stating history since the demons campaign against the elves was meant to be one of the worst defeats for the demon army for a long while. So naturally theres all sorts of myths surrounding the elves" he explained
Amane giggled thinking it was funny seeing Runide's reaction "Hehe I hate it when you get an itchy ear too though its rude in my culture to pet someones ears like that" she stated cautiously joining in with Zadina "I think its also kinda funny if elves and demons are scared of eachother"
Runide let out a small squeak putting her hand on her ear stopping people from scratching anymore "Enough of that when theres explosions to make shortly and don't talk about seeing me again cause nobody has even gone anywhere yet sillies" she bossily added with her hands on her waist.

Satoshi laughed "Im sure Hebal would enjoy the show if she was here, just put in some ear plugs and admire the pretty colours" she predicted wondering for a moment what the rest of the group were doing at the moment "Oh look they even have you as a firework Terrato" she noted pointing to some of the fireworks that changed into snakes when exploded.
"You would be surprised at how painful viera can be when they bite. Though it's a pitty they couldn't live in a mixed society. Maybe the female ones could knock some sense into the male ones around here and straighten them up a little" Ranmaru suggested

Gil smiled "Well I'd hoped they wouldn't really be much of a biting type least the ones I've fought never resorted to that but best leave them to their own culture if it works for them" he said
Zadina blushed "I hadn't realised that" he mumbled quietly making a note to not pet Amane's ears anymore "But I don't know much about the war it was so long ago I may not even have been born then but we're not all that bad" he said

Awessi paused examining Zadina for a moment "Hmmwell its hard to tell with slow agers like yourself but you... weren't born until a few decades after the war. That is fortunate. While I didn't fight in the war my parents did so I heard a whole lot about it. Runide is one of the few people here who hasn't been affected by it. Anyway I'm stalling a little so want me to show you how to set up some proper fireworks?"
Runide nodded before Zadina and Amane had the time to answer "Yeah show is a big colourful firework and let us set it off too even if you probably just copied off my dad how to do it yourself and then show me how to make a fish" she demanded.
Amane snickered "You know theres way better food out there than fish you should try to enjoy. But yes please show us some fireworks and how to set them up if you think nobody will mind. "And hopefully there won't be anymore wars and its good that people like your circus despite the past"

Satoshi nodded "Yeah maybe so I mean I've been to a couple of female viera villages and while they may be hostile to outsiders they are very friendly to you once inside if they stare at you quite a bit. There was one time even that one viera was nice enough to let us feed their baby chicobos" she fondly recalled almost jumping as the people below started setting off the larger fireworks slowly starting to take the shape of a dragon.
Hitomi gasped nodding her head in approval "Ooh that is nice! They clearly got given a bigger budget this year so I'm guessing some of our wages went to funding all these not that I am complaining. But you should have brought a chocobo home with you. I mean chocobos haven't been seen around here in decades"

Gil smiles sounds sweet though I've hardly heard of ninja chocobo" he joked "and anyway only a blue chocobo would be able to survive in this region with all the water really" he said admiring the big dragon firework.
Zadina nodded in agreement "Yes please Mr Awessi but Runide you can't just make a fish out of nothing you know, you have to go and catch them if you want to eat them" he explained.

Awessi on the other hand snickered "Now now Runide I couldn't tell you how to make fish appear out of nowhere. You'll have to pester Athys about how that can be done and even then he refuses to reveal his tricks to pretty much anyone" he warned the demon patting her head. "Well guys first thing to do would be to pick your firework. Go on, pull one out to set of" he encouraged gesturing to the various boxes of explosives behind him.
Runide moaned slightly disappointed but skurried on over to the box picking herself out without question the firework labeled with the picture of a fish" I got mine no problem nyah!" she squeaked holding her firework out in front of the mime.
Amane raised her eyebrow, surprised that she was allowed to pick one "well thanks, its nice of you to let us have a small say as to what goes into the display" she thanked him following Runide's example and going to the box of shape making fireworks until eventually picking out one with a picture of a tree on the side. "So what are you gonna get Zadina?"

Satoshi shook her head with a snicker "Well chocobos aren't known for their stealth because of their large size but theres alwas a first for something. Chocobos can fight and they can also make for a quick get away" she suggested then suddenly a thought spring to mind "Aren't black ones good swimmers too because they would be perfect"
Ranmaru smiled seeing it a nice thought "Yes that would be good but considering the lack of chocobos, even just a common yellow one would stick out like a giant dragon in a room let alone a rare colour. More like a statement companion which only really works if you yourself are pretty easy to recognise" he concluded unconvinced.

Gil chuckled "Black ones are also pretty expensive and rarer, Agralia is the only country that has a full regiment of black chocobo knights to my knowledge" he said "Though I never thought Ninjas used mounted units anyway since they generally aren't stealthy" he said as a firework went off in the form of what he guessed was a famous ninja.
Zadina frowned going over the set of boxes before picking up a purple firework with a picture of a magicians hat on it "I'm surprised you didn't try to eat that firework knowing how you love fish" he said opening his palm and casting a spell causing a small illusory fish to swim through the air past Runide "I'd like to set this one off Mr Awessi please" he said.

Awessi grinned curiously glancing at the fireworks each one had picked "Nice choices guys" he told them privately thinking that each one had been incredibly predictable "Right then first thing we need to is to tie them down to the stand like so. and at a slight algle, anything from 45-60 will do which are these angles" he instructed demonstrating with his own stand "... Here a little more to the left see and make sure the little rope bit is facing the ground" he added assisting Amane with hers seeing her not too good with knots
Amane paused blushing slightly as she struggled "Thanks for the help, Im just not a natural it seems" she mumbled looking at her stand working out which direction the firework was going to go off in "This is gonna be a nice surprise for mum and I bet Ardie and Melanae are gonna be jealous about this. Those are my friends back home" she added for Runide.
Runide slowly nodded following Awessi's commands with ease having done it before. "I know I know my dad does all the special effects here so I know all the fancy stuff already but your not doing that badly Amane and I'm sure your friends will be jealous you both got to meet cool guys like us"

Satoshi shook her head squeezing her hands together to use a jutsu changing her clothes into a thicker coat while in Gil's arms "Nah its impractical sometimes but has its uses so the odd mounted animal is bred and sold for travel purposes since we can only walk so fast and not everyone has the ability to teleport"
Hitomi laughed watching for Gil's reaction to the sudden to the extra layer of clothes "Yeah plus its seems like a fun thing to do though some ninja still have pets after all, we have summoners too. It's just frowned upon to be one when it means you have to leave the village for some pilgrimage and your abilities dont make you very subtle. Also summoners tend to not get much further than the basic jutsu"

Gil frowned wrapping his arms slightly tighter around Satoshi and stroking her arms thinking she was still cold while he finished the drink he brought up with him "Well I've seen Nadira summon Leviathan before but she says she does it a different way to summoners, and the Summoner practice is an international institution since we can't exactly choose the place the Eidolons want to make their temples all cultures can become summoners if they like" he said "It's more about currying favour with the summons than magic I hear so it takes a lot of work I'll bet" he said.
Zadina nodded holding in the firework in place while he magically tied the knot with a small gesture "We should get the Captain or your mother to take a photograph of it, I bet they'll look really pretty for you to show them when you go back" he said stepping back to examine his firework before frowning and moving forward to readjust the angle not happy with it.

Awessi placed his arm in front of Zadina, quickly pointing his claws away from him not wanting to intimidate "Stop, your angle isn't bad. Should fire off just about... there" he told the elf pointing out on the sky where he predicted the firework would go off.
Amane nodded following Awessi's finger up to the sky "Ooh I bet it will look good there but sounds like a good idea. Should we take the photo before or after we set off the firework do you think" she asked Zadina watching her own firework expectantly.
Runide looked around only now taking notice of the older viera loading up fireworks with the fire demons while watching the cat demon out the corner or her eye "Oh well bring her over just before your about to set it off then kickly to catch the fireworks then they can see what you did and proof it was actually you that did it" she suggested.

Takeo nodded fanning away some of the smoke caused by Satoshi's jutsu before "Yeah that wasnt so much summoning. Summoning jutsu, unlike the magic of summoners requires a blood contract between the ninja and whatever is to be summoned. It also is whats required tp perform the summoning and has to be your own so really not recommended unless desperate" he explained.
"People jsut don't like you leaving the village and going out into the world without putting in a lot of service and/or a big contribution to the village. Summoners are seen as letting the side down when they go" Satoshi sighed thinking it was a little harsh. "But we only have one or two temples here with Kirin being the best known summon around here."

Gil smiled "Well the temples hardly clump together that much, I hear there's still some hidden ones out there" he said "I suppose Hebal's daughter probably faces some stigma too knowing what Viera culture is like, but being a summoner is a fine job anyway" he nodded
Zadina gasped slightly at the hand barring his way but looked at where Awessi pointed anyway "I'm sure yours will be lovely too Amane though we could get a photo with both if you like but we should try and get one of the pretty sparks, I doubt they are a common thing in your forest." he said
