Hebal rolled her eyes almost fixated on the chocolate fountain beside the marshmallows "Oh don't worry we won't go out but I am buying everyone a stick of marshmallows each as my treat for this afternoon. And relax for we have hours to let the food go down. Just enjoy yourself" she grinned pointing to try and divert their attention to the same food as her much to the amusement of the person behind the stall. "So apparently they are gonna toast it then put it in the fountain and then its ours to eat" she explained hading over the gil before anyone could contest.
Amane laughed watching the marshmallows already rotating over a small fire "Ok ok you have our attention mum and it looks very nice if potentially messy should it get I our fur" she very quietly added on the last part of the sentence. "Hey Zadina... at these parties have you ever had a giant cake with someone inside or is it just a myth that rich people are all eccentric ad like doing that" she giggled.

Felina grinned whooshing off past Oassu to wait for him at the end of the rooftop "Well if they have to catch you when falling out the sky you would probably be dropped off right into the hands of the authorities. "Now come on slow poke, your making me look like I am flying in comparison to you" she playfully teased floating happily around him.
Satoshi shrugged steering Gil through a alleyway with a small bridge to cross inside "If Enkidu don't want it and no guests want to use it then worst case scenario I will use it to cover up my paintings" she assured him with a small yawn walking inside an almost miss able shop door at the other side of the bridge. "I think my parents would just be happy to spend any time with me regardless of season which is why mum keeps asking me to travel with her and do the odd job on "she groaned at the thought.

Oassu smirked "Well you are flying dear, hardly fair" he said hopping on a few chimney's "Besides just taking a bit of time to enjoy the privacy, is that so bad?" he said "Though I doubt they arrest you for falling off the city" he said as he perched a bit ahead of Felina.
Gil laughed "You don't really need to cover up your paintings do you? It's not like people are going to sneak in and look at them, even then they are quite nice but....by travelling with your mother and doing jobs you mean...her jobs....that's awkward" he said uncomfortably.
Zadina gasped scratching his head in thought "Well no I've never heard of that, it sounds very unhygienic and a waste of a perfectly good cake" he said frowning as he watched the marshmallows roasting "What are those fluffy things there? I think I've seen monsters that look like bigger versions of those before" he said curious as to what the difference between the pink and white ones were.

Hebal gasped "You mean to say you haven't had marshmallow before? It's this really light and soft and fluffy type of candly. The taste is a little like candyfloss only its slightly harder. Come to think of it... I think Theres a fiend named after these. For some reason theres like a whole species named after foods like I know that there are little gloopy things called Flans. Anyway first two are done so you kids can have first try and no waiting up for us" she grinned handing over the now smothered in chocolate food.
Amane let out a small squeak taking her frood from Hebal "Hey you could have warned me how messy this was going to be messy" she gasped struggling a moment to take a bite without getting chocolate in he fur. "Still, it is rather delicious"

Felina laughed "No but they would probably take you back to wherever you fell off where your chasers would also be waiting for you. But no. Privacy is good though we're not really private for all anyone would have to do is look up to see us. Still being on the rooftops here really puts in perspective just how big the palace is by comparison to the other buildings" she noted with a low whistle.
Satoshi nodded detecting Gil's discomfort "Yeah which is why I chose not to do it. Not interested if apparently doing it as a pair would make extra money, its just all tacky to me." she groaned grabbing one or two of the first duvets she could see "These will do. Covering up paintings protects them from light damage and keeps the dust and occasionally the blood off em depending on who has stored them where so are useful"

Oassu shook his head "With the narrow street they can't really see up here so we're ok, not like we'd get in trouble just for a little climbing anyway" he said sitting down on the edge of the building to look up at the palace "Have you never just floated around the city before? I know I would if I had the power to fly like you do" he said.
Gil groaned "I'd say it's disgusting posing for pictures like that with your mother, I guess I see why your little brother finds it so awkward but your mother seems like a nice lady" he said watching over Satoshi's shoulder at the duvet's she picked "Got some nice new paintings to protect?" he asked.
Zadina giggled watching Amane struggle to eat her food "Well that does look very messy I'd best take care" he said casting a spell from his book to make a small shield appear around his clothes so nothing would spill on it as he took his stick cautiously nibbling gently at the edge "Hmm it's sort of crispy...and very gooey on the inside this is very strange but nice" he said examining what he could of the food without dripping too much.

Amane hesitated searching for the safest way to eat her food "I like the gooeyness it has quite a lot actually. But I think too much of these could make me ill. Still it is very nice and I bet I will get to try loads of other food tonight stranger than this one. And handy little magic bib that you have there" she added with a laugh.
Hebal cheered happily handing Jeckhart's food over before receiving her own and starting to walk "Well glad that you like it and I'm sure viera and elven food isn't that different. We live in similar enough environments" she shrugged pushing her ear back unaware she had managed to get chocolate upon it at the same time. "Whatcha think Jeckhart?"

Felina shook her head whooshing over the next few gaps taking a look at what was directly below the buildings she passed over "Well no not really, always someone there to grab me by the leg and stop me. Though I wouldn't really call it flying as you cant lift yourself off the ground that much so to fly above the city properly would have to walk out the window of the highest tower in the palace which is a long stair climb."
Satoshi shook her head "I have a couple of smaller paintings that are fairly new but not had much time lately. Used to find it hard to sleep on the airship at night so used to paint whenever I just gave up for the night. You saw my last painting of leviathan. Also cant exactly carry much beyond a small note pad and mini paint pots in my bag... oh I did also paint a picture of you that I don't think I showed you" she suddenly remembered.

Oassu chuckled "Well I suppose that's just unfortunate but least you have the freedom now, for sure" he said doing a handstand on top of the chimney before bouncing off onto the roof beside Felina "You mean that tower all the way up there?" he said pointing to the prominent tower above the palace roofs "What on earth would you need with one that size?" he asked.
Gil chuckled "Well I'm not sure when you got the chance to do that but yeah I'd love to see it I'm sure" he said kneeling to pet Enkidu and keep him still "You must be getting used to the airship by now though" he said.
Zadina nodded "I normally never have to use this spell but it wouldn't do to be seen in public covered in chocolate" he muttered quietly "Still there will be plenty of tasty things for you to try later as well I'm sure" he said nodding as he moved away from the stall to allow others in.
Jeckhart nodded stepping slightly back so as not to spill any on himself as chocolate dripped from it "I'm sure there might be some similar foods though seeing as you both live in forests I'm not sure what you'd especially eat at this time of year since not much would grow." he said tentatively taking a bite.

Hebal snickered watching her companions struggle a little with their food "We just have lots and lots of meat and nuts too since there are always fiends and a good viera is always well stored for other things before the winter comes along. And personally, I don't like going out and hunting animals to skin and eat. It's gross and so I would pay loads to import food and leave the icky stuff for more desperate times"
Amane snickered spotting the chocolate patch on her mothers ear as she skipped on ahead in the rough direction of the palace "Hehe well I'm sure you would still look cool eve if you did get a little dirty. So far though the only messy eater here is mum" she whispered pointing out the ear she was referring to. "Its for times like this that grandma always insists I carry a tissue around with me all the time"

Felina shrugged "Well the view is absolutely spectacular from the top of that tower if a nightmare to climb. It was going to be an observatory but the current king hated the thought of so many stairs to climb so it became a guard tower so can pretty much see if anything major is going on across the city. Probably good training for them running up and down the steps too. So if you ever need a lot of exercise you know where to go" she laughed floating to the last rooftop. "Now stop showing off before I have to catch you, we don't want to make too much of a scene"
Satoshi nodded "Yeah a little but I still don't feel entirely comfortable on it. It's more bearable when I have something to keep me occupied like drawing or someone to entertain/to be entertained by. Hebal is a pretty good distraction from most things with her hyperactive nature" she snickered paying for her materials then slinging her bag over her shoulder.

Oassu laughed "Well surely the King could hire scholars to tend the observatory for him, lazy old man not wanting to climb stairs, what a shame. The guards are right after all, good exercise all that climbing" he said hopping over to Felina "Though relax, we're hardly making a scene. It'd surprise you how rare it is for people to actually look up" he said joining Felina on the edge.
Gil nodded "She's certainly an entertaining one I'll give her that, I've never met a more excitable Viera, especially at her age. It's not uncommon for Viera to experience some wanderlust and an excitable period in their life but normally it's the younger Viera in their 20's or so who act that way" he said stepping aside to allow a female ninja past.
Zadina nodded "That's wise advice, my mother taught me it as well" he said indicating the small tightly-folded hankerchief protruding from his clothes ever so slightly, Miss Hebal could certainly use it now though" he whispered.
Jeckhart nodded "If I recall correctly elves are slightly less fond of meats and prefer more vegetables and fruits all year round, but I'm sure there will be all kinds of food available tonight" he said taking a disposable napkin from the stall before they moved away. "Err Hebal you have a little chocolate on your ear" he added quietly offering her the napkin.

Hebal frowned pulling one ear down, followed by the other until she found the spot she was looking for. "Ohhh yeah hehe thanks for pointing it out for me" she smiled rubbing her hands first before wiping up after herself. "As for the elves liking fruit and veg all year round, they probably have enough magic to make magical greenhouses that are always warm and in nice conditions" she guessed double checking she was clean.
Amane giggled stuffing her tissue up her sleeve after a brief use "Maybe its an upper class thing since mum doesn't do it and nor do most of the people in my class at school either. But shouldn't you be going ahead to get us back to the palace now? I don't trust mums directions" she quietly murmured just managing to catch the dripping chocolate with her tongue.

Felina shook her head "Hey be careful what you say, we do live in a forest where knowing whats above you in the trees is just as important as knowing whats on the ground. But the tower was built mostly by the previous king who was into looking at all the stars. You would be surprised how much my home changes to accommodate the hobbies of the ruler. Never used to be a swimming pool until dad had one built in for example."
Satoshi raised her eyebrow "You really think so? None of the viera I saw at her village looked particularly excitable or particularly high in wanderlust. They just seem content to spend the rest of their lives living in the same forest to me. Bit like some of this bunch really... anyway lets take all this stuff back so we have time to put it all away"

Oassu chuckled "If you say so, doubt most of these city elves venture out into the forest though unless it's part of their job" he said looking at the palace gate "Still we should probably get down now, doubt the guards would much like the sit of us running along the palace walls" he said before sliding down the drainpipe to the ground.
Gil nodded "Certainly, Mineerin and Agralia have vibrant Viera communities, as does Yithra. Viera aren't as secluded as they'd like you to think, it just makes sense the ones you see in their forest villages are the ones that didn't want to leave and explore. The problem is those communities are so strict they normally tend to shun those who would return, if they let them return at all" he said shrugging.
Jeckhart nodded examining Hebal's ear "Yes you seem to have got it all but yes I imagine they do something like that still lead us back Zadina, it's getting colder out here, even with this scarf" he sighed
Zadina nodded "Alright this way everyone," he said hopping ahead of the adults "Is your granny particularly upper class then? I've never really given it much thought, it just seems like an incredibly useful thing to carry on you at all times." he said hurrying to finish his marshmallow stick.
