Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hebal paused before almost flinging the armour to one side "Ok suit yourself but maybe when I have some more money and spare time I will open up another shop somewhere. At least I can hopefully build up my reputation while travelling in the meantime. Though if you want I'll make you a piece. The more the merrier for right now only Itaka on this airship uses any of it. Sorry you probably wanted to see mores stuff rather than listen to me ramble on about my goals. "These little tools over here are for engravings cause some people are posh like that. Can only make them when everything is still really hot otherwise it just looks like scratching, though one person was mean so I did one with smiley faces all over" she giggled.

Amane stopped to wash her hands before she broke her eggs into the bowl and piled in the rest of the ingredients into a bowl for mixing "Just need to blend these all in. But with a combination of school, grandma and summoner training I've been well prepared for years on how to survive when out on a pilgrimage. Grandma showed me all kinds of things to cook from candy to carrot soup and the school taught me how to find food and how to set up a camp with maximum safety. It''s all a lot of work" she informed him while she stirred the mixture.

Seph stopped running her hand along the horns on the top of the dragons "Im guessing this is all seasonal themed then though not a bad dragon carving I don't think. Flying doesn't give you anywhere near as much of a work out as running or climbing. Just strengthens up your wing and back muscles. Which is only useful for flying faster with heavier loads"

Oassu smiled "Well bit of a terrible reason to sue but he'll have lost that one for sure" he said glancing around completely lost "Hmm I would think with your secret passageways you'd be able to blink around this castle quick like" he said frowning.


Jeckhart smiled "I appreciate the offer but armour would wear me down when flying but it does look impressive" he said sidling over to Hebal "Still I bet he deserved it for whatever he did" he agreed with Hebal following her gaze over the engraved pieces of armour.

Zadina nodded happily "Well it's reassuring to know one of us will be so well experienced in these things my mother never taught me anything about camping while I was getting educated, probably didn't think I'd ever need it" he giggled watching Amane stir.

Itaka shrugged "Perhaps you just need to try more weight when flying if you want but alright though I think you struggled a little when you just had your new wing and it tired you out a fair bit." he said twirling her tail around his finger idly "Still would you like me to get you a little present here?" he asked.

Felina raised her eyebrow catching Oassus expression "Oh? Did you not have enough of exploring down there the other day. That's how the servants get about and I think some of those passages are kind of dirty and not very good when in big white robes. Will we have to build some secret rooms and passages for our own place sometime?" she teased.

Hebal paused pointing to the only suit in the room positioned properly on a stand just behind the door "That one there is my favourite mostly because this one is mine. I made it for myself but never had the opportunity to wear it much. Worked really hard to get this one right and then paint it red like that and its no easy task making dragon shaped helmets like that either" she grinned running her fingers along the metal proud of her work. "I only set one up originally so I could fit in with the rest of the villagers and have some kinda place in society. But truth be told I've been wanting to sell up two of the three of them and just never found a buyer but the maths and money bit is easy to work out I always thought" she shrugged.

Amane paused surprised a moment "you know, I think that's the first time I have ever really heard you mention your father. Most of the time you just mention your mother" she recalled gesturing for Zadina to tip some of the mixture onto the frying pan. "Since we'll be spending lots of time together on a pilgrimage, how about you teach me a little history and in return I'll teach you a little bit of nature things in return. Pitching a tent for example is no big deal"

Seph snickered noticing Itaka's direction "And there you go again trying to fatten me up heh. I'm gonna make sure you help with the exercises later" she joked nudging him back. "I guess its probably not the most comfortable of positions for you to be in, high above the sky at the mercy of the person carrying you and only able to look down the whole time. Being flown about by someone my small size certainly wouldn't be for everyone" she admitted glancing at the various different colours of icing swirls.

Oassu nodded "Yeah yeah I know that but Tricasia has a lot of nice little islands we might be lucky to get a place on one" he said shrugging "Not given up on our little island paradise yet dear" he said.

Gil shook his head "Your mother isn't that bad, and so far as I've seen no one really covers up much in this village" he said dismissing it before Yuki opened the door and invited them "Sorry we're a little bit late we stopped to admire the scenery a bit" he said beckoning Enkidu to follow him.

Jeckhart nodded examining the armour "I can see why, modelled after the ancient dragoons armour even though you don't belong to an order of them" he said tentatively poking the armour "Still so long as you don't try and set up a store in the dwarven lands I think you'll be fine your armour is certainly a high quality" he said.

Zadina's face fell slightly at the mention of his father "My father was always very busy away with the king or at court, my mother taught me a lot of things but sure I'll try and teach you a little if you like though I always thought pitching a tent looked super hard!" he said impressed with Amane.

Itaka winked at Seph "I'll gladly help tire you out later but yeah, no offence but considering the size of me to you I just wouldn't feel very secure there you know" he said making Annabelle bow to a group of children that came to pet her.

Felina laughed quickening the pace once they turned into a wider hallway that would take them to an area nearby the throne room "Well if I am buying us an island then you're going to be buying me a lot of dinners out in our lifetime dear then. Do our traditional breakfast dishes work with you by the way. If need be we could request some cereal or bread instead maybe" she offered.

Satoshi sighed petting the now calm Aelo sitting down happily now satisfied that they weren't intruders "happy dragon festival. And here, I know you always demand I shouldn't get you anything but couldn't help ourselves. And besides Im sure you'll like it all the same" she told her mum presenting her with the bottle of wine bought earlier.

Yuki grinned putting the bottle to one side then opened her arms out to give the pair of them a hug "Why thanks you two but really you shouldn't have. Good thing we got you two something also but you'll have to wait and see until then. Well done on getting that trophy by the way at the parade you looked good in a gold dragon suit"

Hebal paused thinking over what Jeckhart had said "hmm I guess you're right. Dwarves are a bit closed minded like that but that's just them being silly and with enough hard work I'll bet I could at least convert a few of them. But like I said they aren't my fave choice anyway. Though what about the clan, where do all you angels and demons get your gear from if you don't mind me asking?"

Amane nodded smiling happy that the movement of the airship hadn't disrupted her pancake flipping abilities "Yeah its meant to be brown like that on both sides which is why its important to flip it. Though wanna have a go at the next one or have a little taste of this one next? I recommend trying them with jam and theres a spare frying pan in the cupboard if you wanna practice your flipping technique" she joked unable to stop herself from giving the newly made food a good sniff as it was laid to cool.

Seph hesitated unsure if quite what to do "Oh you know Im not the best with kids I'm sure" she mumbled before having to politely tell the one child that Chobi didn't take too well to strangers riding her "I am sure my cake will fit just fine and stay in good condition in my bag, its spacious enough and I don't exactly have to worry about shaking it about. Even if it does go into several pieces its still food and I'll eat it. I'm not fussy"

Oassu nodded "Well...perhaps we'll just relax for a bit," he sighed wondering how he'd garner the money for it "Still always good to have an escape route from your house in case of emergency in my eyes" he said whispering to Felina "We had such a plan back in the guild in case we were ever found out" he said.

Gil nodded "Oh of course Yuki thanks for the hospitality" he said linking arms with Satoshi again "Well why don't you lead on then Nadira, see if there's any little snacks to top us off before the meal" he suggested

Jeckhart frowned scratching his head "I'm not sure, I know some of the demons wear armour, it's kind of tradition for angels to go without but I'm not in administration so I'm not sure where we get our armour from, probably the dwarves they tend to lead in the field of armour" he guessed.

Zadina nodded eagerly "Yeah Yeah let me have a shot!" he asked holding himself back from grasping for the pan "Why does the flipping matter so much though?" he asked resisting the urge to poke the pancake to see it's texture.

Itaka nodded "If you are sure" he called back to Seph before exchaning money for the oversized cupcake and carrying it back to Seph wrapped in a sheet of plastic to protect it "Well here you go, but would be a shame if it got bashed up" he said waving to the kids as they went 'ooooh' at the cupcake. Itaka reached into his pocket and scattered the remaining change for them allowing them to move on "Happy Dragon Festival" he called as he took Annabelle's reigns to get away.
