Oassu nodded smiling nervously at Felina realising he must have looked quite foolish. "W-well sure it's just strange to be doing something like this" he said patting Bahumut's nose tentatively at first "Ah, it's hard like a rock" he said surprised as he started to pat Bahumut with more confidence once he saw he was friendly enough.
Zadina frowned waving a hand giving both of them a sound-dampening spell and patting Amane's ears casting a warmth spell on her seeing her shiver "Well he is the King of Dragons after all, he was always going to be huge I guess" he said peering down at the royals "They are lucky to be able to pet Bahumut, but one day you'll be capable of that I'm sure!" he said brightly.
Jeckhart grimaced covering his own ears slightly along with a lot of the crowd as Bahumut roared "Well perhaps Amane can teach Bahumut to be quieter around her then but yes I imagine the temple doesn't want to let the secrets out a bit in case they get rogue summoners who only seek the summons for their own gain" he said

Hebal paused unsure "Umm I guess but a rogue summoner is always something you run the risk of though when you train anyone in that art though. Also the same with any skill and job I would say. Though take it from someone who was trained in the dragoon arts, you cann't just tell a dragon to roar a little less loud. They either do or they don't hehe and would also probably be offended by the suggestion. A lot of dragons are easily offended"
Amane sighed beginning to divert her focus back to Zadina "Is that what they are doing up there? I wish I got to pet Bahamut now but I guess its not to be" she groaned slighyly disappointed. "Thank you for the extra spells though. I think I needed them. Though can you feel his presence or is that just a summoner thing? It's stronger than everything I have encoutered in the forest so far and a lot warmer" she asked.

Felina laughed watching Corella nervously pull her hand away the momet the great dragon grunted at them "Well of course Oassu, dragon scales are some of the hardest materials we know of and are used in most of the expensive of armours. Though you should consider yourself lucky as this is something most people don't get the chance to do"she smiled taking a step to protect the nnervous Cid.
"Ok ok guys. That is enough for Bahamut has never been one to enjoy heavy petting and besides, the crowd will get bored if I don't make him do something shortly" Elorin cut in giving the dragon a small nod before it took off back into the sky and swooped back down and around the city leaving a trail of purple light behind him.

Oassu nodded "I know, it's certainly something I'm unlikely to forget" he said watching as Bahumut blazed through the night sky "It's weird to think you've flown on his back before, I can't imagine anything quite like that" he said reaching over to pet Cid.
Jeckhart nodded "Sure but at least the people who are trained are trusted, rather than just anyone learning the art" he said gasping as Bahumut rushed overhead "Well perhaps not for a dragoon but I was led to believe the bond between a summoner and the summoned creature was very deep, and Bahumut is meant to be very intelligent isn't he?" he asked.
Zadina nodded sighing in awe "Well it's no problem, his roar can hurt my ears too though the spell is intended to help you sneak up on someone" he added watching Bahumut loop around the palace towers "I'd say everyone can feel a certain presence from Bahumut, he's just such an intimidating creature but it might be something special for you, I wouldn't know summoning is a whole different magic than I've ever known" he said quietly

Hebal nodded "Oh yes dragons are very intelligent creatures that can often understand human speech. I would believe he is one of the ones who could understand it. Not that it matters for summoners. According to Amane they don't need to communicate with eachother with words and they just sort of naturally run on the same length. Thats how Amane tried to explain it anyway, she found it hard to tell me."
Amane shook her head "Oh I know he is scary and intimidating but thats not it. It's kind of like... this is probably going to sound really silly since it's a giant dragon and all but its almost as if he is amused at something. I don't know what though" she mumbled her eyes widening as a pillar of fire rose up into the sky that had came from Bahamut's mouth as he ascended back towards the sky and away from the trees.

Corella smiled leaning over the balcony to watch "I bet all your friends below you will be jealous. You got the best views and everything tonight. Though father won't let me ride on him which is a disappointment because it looks so cool"
"Thats because you don't do well with heights. Besides he's not a pet or taxi service" Felina answered back with a snicker. "Poor Cid here is shaking though so at least you weren't the only nervous one" she added to Oassu pulling her pet close to her chest.
Elorin paused making sure the crowd was for the time being satisfied with the entertainment. "Here this should help" he stated patting the rabbit and releasing a spell to calm the nerves. "When one rides on the back of Bahamut it is usually for battle or important travel so it is not often at all that even I have sat upon his back" he admitted.

Oassu smiled cuddling Felina slightly "I'm certain they will, though Zadina has probably seen Bahumut plenty of times and petted him before" he said watching Cid calm down a little after the spell. "Though I'm sure you'll have another chance to ride on Bahumut Corella" he added hoping he would too.
Jeckart nodded "I doubt we'll ever truly understand that link between summoners and their beasts but hopefully she'll be able to summon something that powerful one day" he said watching as Bahumut ascended.
Zadina giggled watching Amane look up in shock at Bahumut's pillar of fire "It's impressive and just think one day you can command him but perhaps it's the Viera's ability to sense the feelings of animals or maybe it is your summoner powers, it's good to know Bahumut at least finds it fun" he said.

Hebal grinned "Well she has a long way to go before she gets to that level of summoning. I might even be nearing retirement by that age though hopefully will be famous enough for my armour by that point. No point making Amane any since they wear robes. For now though Amane can summon squirrels and possibly mice but thats about it."
Amane shook her head "No no Viera have no connection to dragons at all so it cant be a viera thing. Though yeah he is probably used to this little show right now and perhaps hes glad for a change people are happy to see him rather than scared of himfor a change. Hss your uncle ever let you pet him or better yet, ride him?" she asked leaning on his shoulder.

Felina nodded "Yes. Zadina must have seen him a good few times now though may be too young to remember most of them now" she guessed watching Bahamut swoop down around the observatory, only a few meters higher up than where Amane and Zadina were sitting before taking off back through the clouds leaving behind a crackle of purple lightning identical to his arrival. "Well I guess that is it for us. Probably has a thousand other places to be summoned to today or to avoid being summoned to. Party should hopefully wind down now.
Alusaadi nodded "Yes I can imagine now that the main attraction of this event is over that guests will slowly start to retire for the night. Which is what I think I shall also do. I believe you are leaving in the miiddle of the night tonight? If so it is perhaps we say our goodbyes in a moment " she suggested.

Oassu nodded "I'm sure he'll remember a good few trips, seems like something that's difficult to forget considering just how impressive Bahumut is" he said quite pleased with the show "Well thank you for the show your Majesties it was certainly something I'll remember" he said to Elorin and Alusaadi "But if you are going to retire then goodnight and thank you for the party" he said happily bowing politely.
Jeckhart nodded joining in the applause with the crowd as Bahumut disappeared "Well I'm sure you could make her some nice decorative armour anyway but sure if you keep at it I'm sure you'll be a big name brand of armour before too long" he said taking a deep breath of the cold night air "That was certainly quite the show" he said.
Zadina laughed holding on tighter as Bahumut rocketed up past us "Well that was certainly an impressive show. I've never actually watched from up here you know" he said unaware of his ears wiggling happily unaware of Amane leaning on his shoulder "Though no I've never had the chance to ride Bahumut, I imagine you'd need to be someone really special or a really important occasion to do something like that." he said shrugging "But you enjoyed it right?" he said turning to Amane surprised she was leaning on his shoulder before petting her ear.

Amane gasped for air, for a moment completely shocked by how close Bahamut had been to them a few seconds before eventually nodding her head "Oh yes, the show was very noisy but wonderful annd not something I could easily forget. Though if you haven't ever rode Bahamut... when I learn to summon him, I'm going to make sure that you get to do that at least once" she promised him stannding to her feet.
Hebal clapped and cheered to the point where she hadto quickly fall silent for being the only one still clapping. "That was a really cool show! It's no wonder Yithra is deemed one of the best places to celebrate the festival though I want to go to Kunec and the mountain city where Bahamut's temple is next year so I can compare. Those are supposed to be the other really good locations to celebrate. Have you been to Bahamuts temple? I know you have some bases hidden not that far away"

Elorin paused "I shall probably escourt my wife back to her room and then report back to the party. It wouldn't do for both of us to leave early. I also need to find out where your airship is docked to sort a few things out for you which will be easy to do at the party if I can keep the more clinngy of the nobility away from me for 10minutes" he joked.
Alusaadi politely bowed back then wrapped her arms around both Felina and Cid "It has been a nice surprise to see you. You and Zadina. So please tell him goodbye from me and to take care of his young chocobo. Also please, keep safe in the desert and as far away as possible from trouble" she told them letting go before making her way to the exit with Elorin "I'll see you tomorrow Corella"
Felina smiled shuffling out her parents way and closer to Oassu "We will try and cause as little trouble as possible. Don't worry about that and we will pass the message onto Zadina. It's been nice to be home even if for just a couple of days" she replied squeezing Oassu's hand. "I hope you liked the show" she whispered.

Oassu nodded watching as Elorin and Alusaadi left "It was great fun, sure" he replied to Felina squeezing her hand as he turned back to look over the balcony "Still we might best be retiring as well, we've got an early rise tomorrow" he sighed leaning on the balcony and peering over to look at the people below.
Zadina giggled looking up at Amane "Well I'm glad to see this has made you more determined and I'm sure that would be wonderful" he said getting up on his own feet "Though now that that's done, would you like to use the telescope?" he asked removing the sound dampening spell. "We should probably be quick though in case your mother is looking for us" he said going over to the huge brass telescope and patting the small seat built into the platform.
Jeckhart nodded "Kunec is meant to be quite impressive, I hear they have strong Gria fliers team up and wear big dragon costumes to fly around the sky but no, though you should probably keep quiet about where our bases are hidden" he added quietly with a little smile.

Hebal nodded but shrugged strarting to move back out the crowd towards the cakes "Ok ok I shall say no more thoughI will say you don' have to worry. All your bases are well hidden. As a city though, I reallylike Kunec. The people are nice and I can jump about pretty much anywhere without complaints. Some places are a bit iffy on jumping up the side of buildings"
Amane smiled happily diving into the seat "Yay I was really hoping we would have time to use this. It's not often I get such a nice view of the sky like this. Not even at the top of my temple. Though I have no idea how to use this or is it as simple as just peeking through and the machine does it all for you?"

Felina snickered shaking her head as the crowd cheered suddenly realising they were being watched from the balcony "They probably think you leaned over with intent towave at them" she laughed giving the guests a wave herself before moving away again. "We need to at least speak with the rest of the group before we leave so we know what time to meet at and where though" she pointed out.
Corella laughed moving past Felina to wave over the balcony after her "Crowds are really easy to entertain for a couple of minutes but I'm going back to the party so can say goodbyes once you have sorted things out with your group. In the meantime I'll just... give you two a little bit of alone time up here" she giggled then turned and skipped away back into the palace.
