Felina yawned looking around in search of the time "We should probably start making our way to the place again only maybe take a different route back so can see more things on the way" she informed him not wanting to be out long after dark. "Ideally, Corella would be married off to another noble family that has a lot of influence in a different part of the world. That's one way to keep the elves of Mineerin and of Satoshi's country united with us still. Other countries themselves... well the lifespan thing is usually a problem and we're not quite so bad as to keep remarrying people over and over once the partner dies every hundred years"
Satoshi paused returning the hug "Well how about if you are offering, you at least give me a little time to think on it. You have sort of put me on the spot and I think we can agree there's no need to be rash" she suggested releasing him. "And how about, maybe have a look and see if there are any foods that you recognise first. Like I hope you would know what eggs are like and how to cook them without given instructions"

Oassu nodded "It's a shame to think it'd be so difficult that way though you'd think they'd respect her enough to just give her a title instead of remarrying someone new if she'd been queen for years" he said looking up at the sky "Sure does seem to be getting darker and lets be honest in spite of the clothes it's still pretty freezing out here, can't imagine how bad it is for them stall folks" he said.
Gil nodded blushing slightly "Sorry, I thought you might have been for it for a moment but sure of course you don't need to come with me, after all I'm sure Hebal and the others enjoy your company." he said looking at the shelves "Sure I understand the likes of eggs and bacon but if you have any favourites you can let me know, I've had to cook in the wild well enough so I imagine a stove will be fine too" he said.
Jeckhart nodded "Yeah I've noticed little Ivy, she seems to enjoy tormenting Alpha as well for his beard, she must enjoy the warmth I think" he said examining the Viera fashions "Err...I'm not sure I'd look especially good in Viera fashion" he said uncertainly.
Zadina paused "Well, from what I understand the Viera communities each elect a representative from the city who attend. It's a show of goodwill though Dwarves aren't that bad, there's just a lot of anger between them and forest dwellers because they did a fair bit of deforestation back when the world was young. Though it's mean to call them nasty-looking they are just short and a little squat and particularly muscular I'd say, not especially cruel looking or anything" he explained.

Hebal paused holding up a random outfit against Jeckhart "Hmm your right it's not really your thing. And maybe a bit too much flesh on show for winter since you have no fur" she agreed putting it down before moving on. "Nope elven fashions for you. I think Ivy just likes having something to play with. It's nice when she just sits in my hair and makes it glow or change colour for a little while"
Amane mumbled a small "ooh" sound spotting the cloaks and various other clothing items hanging up at another store just further along "Well you elves, even in your market have really cool looking fashions. Wouldn't the dwarves have to travel really far to get here all the same. All the same I probably shouldn't tell people I saw a dwarf when I get home no matter how they look or they might get mad" she decided.

Felina paused allowing a group of kids to run past her "Well the best way to stay warm around here is either with magic, three thick layers of clothing or just all round keeping active like those guys. Lets not worry about Corella too much for the time being although... I wonder if Zadina has clicked on that she's more of an adult now. They used to play together all the time. Like Elithana did with Kurgan and then there was just me running off to do my own thing by myself" she laughed.
Satoshi sighed "well I would kind of like to go with you but I wouldn't want you to feel like I was a burden on you if you get me" she quietly explained plucking the eggs from the shelf. "I'm fine with anything Gil. Cant turn down a nice gesture and just cook whatever you feel comfortable doing and let me know if you need any help finding any ingredients" she offered.

Oassu nodded "Well I'm sure it won't be too long before Zadina is at her stage, though I reckon he'll be a bit more...mature than she is" he laughed "Still I reckon you still had plenty of fun running about on your own" he said.
Gil nodded grabbing some bacon while a store clerk nervously shuffled away from Enkidu thinking twice about telling him dogs weren't allowed in store "Well that's up to you, there might not be as much money in it though, I do most of my work for little money but valuable weapons as you know." he said frowning as he came to a shelf of brightly coloured sugary snacks that he knew nothing about.
Jeckhart stood up straight surprised as Hebal measured him up "Yes that's why, I'd be too shy to wear something like that anyway" he groaned looking at the rest of the Viera clothes before moving onto another stall that Amane dashed off to "Well I'm sure Ivy has plenty of fun with your fur too, it must make you look like some kind of magical Viera" he said.
Zadina nodded "Yes but Dwarves are good with machinery, they have these really fast land vehicles I heard powered by strange liquids they found under their mountains so I'm sure there might be a few" he said frowning as he examined the elven clothes privately thinking they looked cheap "Still why would people get mad if you even seen a dwarf, not like there's anything wrong with that." he said

Hebal giggled and nodded her head "I would guess so, I think she just likes paying with hair as a whole and I am pretty much covered in the stuff so she could have a field day should she ever leave Alpha's beard alone. See anything that takes your interest or is there a certain style of clothes you like wearing do say so now before Amane tries to take over styling hehe"
Amane paused checking there were no dwarves around despite how unlikely it was "Well they don't trust anything to do with dwarves and wouldn't let me go near them for fear they give me something that could destroy the forest. I know you elves can talk to trees and all but for viera, if something happens and your forest is completely destroyed it feels like ... a bit like a part of your soul has been ripped out is what I have heard. So anything that has a history of cutting down forests kinda have the same bad reputation as demons did after that war for everyone" she explained.

Felina nodded making a sharp turn into an alleyway to take a slightly longer root away from the direction the crowds were moving in "Well yeah, I couldn't picture Zadina sitting giggling and gossiping with his friends about the opposite sex like Corella does. I think as a teen he will be more like me, training hard in hopes of an excuse to go adventuring and trying to get out of the boring studies to sneak outside" she predicted.
Satoshi shrugged "Im sure I can make ends meet somehow. If neither of us use them weapons you get given could sell otherwise worst case scenario I could just sit in my spare time at camp stitching clothes. Even if I wasn't that successful in the tournament in Kunec because.... well you know. I managed to get a bit of demand for some of my needlework skills" she replied a small smile forming at the sight of the food in front of her. "Mmm now should definitely have something from this shelf for the first time in years. It's just a case of what since I cant buy everything"

Oassu nodded "Shame they'll probably grow apart then as he grows up but he'll have plenty of opportunities for adventure I'm sure assuming he gets to become Amane's guardian" he laughed.
Gil shook his head "Not quite, I collect weapons otherwise they wouldn't be quite the fitting currency for me" he laughed "Though like I said, you don't need to come with me, might have more fun going with Hebal and friends" he said looking up at the snacks "Well I'm not quite sure what any of it is, looks like kids' sweets based on the colour and packaging" he said picking up a carton with a little cartoon bunny on it eating what appeared to be a carrot-shaped biscuit.
Jeckhart tilted his head uncertainly "Well I'm not sure I don't normally wear anything outside my vestments and these clothes were given to me as a spare set but I suppose those ones look quite nice" he said pointing to a red and purple set of dress robes.
Zadina frowned "That does sound awful, I'd hate to think what that feels like and what the homeless Viera would do, still it's surprising that Viera don't hate demons as much, I heard they burned a great deal of forests back then" he said

Amane smiled patting Zadina on the shoulder "Well don't worry too much for now, homeless viera are well looked after. And when you leave the woods you just have this feeling in the back of your head that you've left something behind from my brief experience. Viera don't like demons either but less of them so less of a worry to people and under closer watch by authorities everywhere" she answered skipping on the spot to keep warm.
Hebal scratched her ear a little confused "You mean you only have clothes that are like provided clan uniforms? That would be a little sad because you would be missing out on all the cool styles out there. But those ones don't look too bad on you. Can't go wrong with red afterall" she grinned turning Jeckhart to face the hanging mirror before holding the outfit up against him.

Felina snickered "Oh I know my mother wouldn't be thrilled having him become someone's guardian. Would moan on about how people should be protecting him and not the other way round. Don't always have to have things in common to get along with people though so might be ok with Corella. You never know, Corella may surprise us one day and actually have a serious thing with one of those guards she spends too much time getting to know. Doubt it though and also doubt she could stop Zadina adventuring even if he didn't become a guardian"
Satoshi nodded taking the carton from Gil "Yep that will do to start with. And you are right, they are all sweets and sugary goods but almost all of them taste fantastic. Though if you collect weapons hen what do you do when someone gives you a not so valuable one that you cant use like a fancy bow? Do you just store it somewhere" she asked picking up a box for herself to have later.

Oassu rolled his eyes "Well I'm sure they'd be protecting each other plenty but I think your mother would be angrier if Corella started dating a guard but yeah Zadina is probably far enough from the influence of your mother to be able to adventure as he sees fit." he said.
Gil shook his head "I agree on fee's beforehand, so I know the weapon is always something worth interest most of the time I store them in my house, even if Excalibur is the great prize it's not like I don't get a kick out of storing other weapons, that sword I gave to that little Viera in Hebal's village was one of my earlier ones, before I picked and chose my quests" he said moving away from the sweet things.
Zadina nodded cheering up patting Amane back casting a warmth spell on her seeing how agitated she was "I'm not sure, we see plenty demons about as is, compared to dwarves at least hiding away in their underground homes" he giggled nodding approvingly at Jeckhart "It looks nice Mr Jeckhart" he said.
Jeckhart nodded "Some of the demons had an especially bad problem with fashion and greed which is why we limit what we wear, there is a little variety but unless someone is going undercover we wear similar white robes" he said turning to thank Zadina "Do you think there's anything better here Hebal?" he asked wanting her opinion.

Hebal tilted her head surprised "Well it seems a little weird when your not a greed demon to do that but guess that's why I never saw Miss Hikari in clothes like yours. Now as for your outfit... I think it looks really good although... I think we need to get you a slick matching scarf and maybe some gloves or even something else to wear underneath them since it will probably be even colder at night" she recommended.
Amane shrugged "There are less demons than dwarves I know because of the war. But mum always told me that the trouble with demons is so many of them can take the form of another species you can never be sure everyone are all they appear to be. Even Mr Alpha looks pretty harmless as an old man. Would think he was the old man type that sit kids down on his lap while handing out random dragon festival gifts for no reason other to be nice. Hehe but I can see right through Alpha in that respect" she joked hugging Zadina.

Felina nodded with a small laugh "Yeah he has that freedom to do things as he pleases adventuring and it really doesn't take much to ruffle my mothers feathers. Zadina would probably be good at the political side to if he was willing to study it a little which would also help. Though between you and me I don't think we're going to easily make it back to the palace without being noticed by all the nobility fanatics" she sighed leaving the alleyway leading to an equally full main street.
Satoshi hesitated getting herself another packet before following after Gil "Anything else you would like before I go pay? Anything at all as part of my treat. So if you don't mind me asking, whats the agreed payment for your next job?" she inquired giving him a brief hug from behind upon re-joining.

Oassu smiled "Who knows he's got plenty of years to return to politics here, the pilgrimage will end at some point after all, he's got a lot to do in his life" he said gently pulling Felina back into the alleyway, "No reason for us to plough through the crowd unless you desperately want the attention, I could teleport us there if you like" he suggested giving Felina a kiss.
Gil shook his head "No I'm fine but for this upcoming job, it's 1 million gil and The Blood Sword, a sword rumoured to be cursed for those who would wield it, fortunately I don't much fancy wielding it, but it'll go nice with the others" he said surprised as Satoshi cuddled into him from behind before smiling as he turned around to cuddle her back while Enkidu rudely pushed past them.
Jeckhart nodded an understanding smile crossing his lips "Well you see it's only fair as it means the greed demons aren't being tormented by other people having much more freedom than them to do whatever they like. So they don't feel as left out" he explained frowning slightly as Hebal suggested other accessories "D-Do I really need all those other things as well?" he asked.
Zadina gasped surprised at the sudden hug but returned it anyway "Still I think Cap'n Alpha is a nice old man, bet he's having a nice time with his daughter right now" he said releasing Amane "Still Mr Jeckhart I would advise you wear a little more yes, it'll be very cold tonight likely while watching the fireworks on the balcony." he explained agreeing with Hebal.
