Seph smirked watching a red ball roll away into a pocket "Told you I was going to be red heh. Which means I can continue until I miss or accidentally drop the white ball down the hole. As a warning though. If you hit the black ball and then accidentally down the black one, you automatically lose the game. You also do if you knock the black ball down before first knocking down all of your colour" she explained having to put down her pool cue after the next turn having missed the rest of the balls. "Your turn."
Alpha snickered quietly, while fighting the temptation to swerve the airship during her turn because of her overconfidence. "I dont think Oassu would be at home much. Sure they have some pickpockets there but a lot of their work is more violent. Mugging is the preferred method of stealing on an individual level for example"

Felina smiled back but shook her head "A little hearts is ok... but an entire room full of them looks like an over the top corny honeymoon suite. Though I think we can just design the house then hore a load of decorators. Knowing you, you will want some secret rooms and passages added to the house" she guessed then wrapped her arms around his neck while she returned the kiss.
Satoshi yawned scanning over the menu "Can you even read what is written on these other than the numbers? Well Zadina will be very greatful. Wonder how he enjoyed the dragon festival... not even sure what he was doing with Alpha to celebrate. Anyway perhaps also you could give him one of them lessons he's been begging to have while I sort things out with the rest of the group"
Hayate paused concentrating for a good few minutes. He smiled finally striking the white ball resulting in a ball of his own colour nearly rolling into a pocket "This game doesn't seem bad. Just about getting a good shot and calculating the angles" he muttered managing to get rid of a further two balls before ending his turn. "Oassu might get away with just pickpocketing if he didn't mind a low wage and got on with enough people plus the right family fence and to be fair, he is fairly easy to like at times even with his stupid moments"

Oassu sighed nuzzling Felina "I'm sure you'd like a few secret passages as well, you've got enough in your own home after all can't deny the practicality of them for a quick escape" he said rubbing the back of Felina's shoulders and neck with one hand.
Gil frowned looking over the menu "Well I can see some of the pictures but no I can't make out much, why don't you just order something for both of us" he said closing the menu and placing it down "Though sure I'll give him a lesson if he's up to it before I leave," he chuckled "Could probably make a fortune charging for them" he mused.
Itaka shook his head "Mugging is just a holdup gone wrong, I'm sure Oassu's guild has probably held a few people at knifepoint for money before, he's craftier than you give him credit for" he said frowning at the table "I thought you were meant to stop your turn when you didn't pot a ball of your colour as well as when you missed a ball of your colour, in fact I hear if you miss a ball of your colour or hit the opposing teams ball they get two shots as a penalty" he added.

Seph shook her head "Missing a ball basically means not getting it in the hole. Theres no penalty for touching another persons balls. Only if you pot them you have to stop and they get to keep their ball in the pocket. Rules can vary from place to place. Though are you sure you haven't played this game before? If you haven't then you must have had a few lucky shots" she concluded in slight disbelief.
"He is crafty but he also does stupid things from getting cocky. He's also probably too good natured to get on with most of them" Alpha argued leaning on the steering wheel wishing he had a chair to sit on. "I also don't think they havea high tolerance for anyone not a desert elf like them" he added spying Hebal seaking in and out the bathroom behind them.

Satoshi paused placing the menus to one side then signalled to the waitor to get her order placed "You probable could though maybe it would be a good idea to be a bit more selective with who you choose to pass your skills onto when doing lessons. By the way I decided to be a little more adventurous and ordered us some ramen with chicken meatballs" she informed him.
Hayate smirked "Feeling nervous that I might beat you in my first game? Seems pretty simple to me. Then again I tend to have a good aim in just about anything. Oassu though must be going crazy at the moment. I mean under Felina''s heavy watch and house training, I bet he hasnt had the time to do any thief related jobs for at least a week. Definately wont have been over the festival for sure" he laughed.

Gil nodded "Sounds nice enough but you have a point I hadn't even considered that, there's probably those who aren't worthy of wielding a blade or would use it for impure intentions" he said leaning down to pet Enkidu "Indeed there might be some who would come to me thinking I'd be lighter on moral restrictions because I was a mercenary" he added.
Itaka nodded "He's certainly not going to be able to run a thieves guild anymore as a prince of the Elvish Royal family," he said reclining on the couch his interest in the game fading "Besides by your logic Alpha they won't have a high tolerance for many of us either since most of us ain't desert elves, but it's not all desert elves out here remember" he said

Alpha nodded "Yeah he can try to run one but don't think he would get far. Would have to be really smart to run a thieves guild through proxies. Though I think Jenna would probably get to rule the roost instead for him in Tricasia. I dont think Oassu would survive life without a little pickpocketing though. Would definarely hate all the noble tasks"
Seph rolled her eyes and shook her head "No way, not planning on losing to you on your first game" she grumbled leaning forward to focus. "Well maybe he will continue to do thieving activities. His fiance certainly has enough money to bribe a few guards afterall or to recruit a few extra hands to work for him."
Hebal meanwhile slipped past the group and down the trap door to knock on Jeckharts door "Psst any chance you could help me clean up in the bathroom a little?" she whispered peeking her head around the door to look in.

Satoshi nodded "Exactly. Plus if you teach everyone they will pass it on to everyone and devalue your tutoring. Perhaps you need someone like me to be your manager" she suggested reclining in her chair. "With ninja, only your family or individual teachers are allowed to teach people certain skills. Like families will guard their secret techniques at all costs even from their own allies. It means that what you can do is a bit of a status symbol thinking about it"
"Umm yeah not sure how they expect that to work. I would guess that Oassu would just pich a few things here and there and not tell Felina about it. Seems to have some idea of them owning a small island off the coast of Tricasia. Also with being on leave I no longer have to sit and listen in on their conversations thank the gods since they really are a mushy couple" Hayate explained with a shudder.

Gil nodded tilting his head in thought "You have a point though I doubt many people would exactly be able to cover my fighting style" he chuckled raising his extra arms "It's a little unique so perhaps no one else will be able to learn it but still I can probably teach people regular sword techniques ok" he said shrugging.
Itaka raised an eyebrow "Yeah that can't have been fun spying on them, though do you think you'll have to go back to that when you are back on duty?" he asked "Don't envy you being a servant of the King like that" he said
Jeckhart hopped to attention having been exercising on the floor and quickly grabbed a shirt to wear "Um...one moment Hebal" he said hurridly dressing and accidentally stumbling onto the bed as he did. A moment later he straightened up and went to the door "Uh...sorry Hebal I was busy but sure I'd love to help" he muttered embarrassed.

Seph paused a smirk forming on her facee once handed her turn over "So you say you were listening and spying... does that mean just like conversations or didd that include having to listen to literally everything? Would have been really awkward if that were the case" she asked only half seriously.
Alpha raised his eyebrow "Hey come on Seph thats a little too much information for any of us want to know about" he groaned having caught on to what she was thinking. Though lets be fair on Oassu,. With the exception of Hebal, I think most of us would love that private island. Would make a great retirement castle unlike the dinky little house I have been staying in when not traveelling"
Hebal simply giggled and hugged Jeckhart "Hope ya didnt just hurt yourself there as you made a sall bang or two just there" she asked releasing him from the hug. "So how is my fur looking? Its a lot shorter for sure though think its still pretty soft" she asked gesturing for him to touch the fur on her shoulder for an opinion

Hayate rolled his eye making sure to deliberately hit the ball off the table at Seph for her comment knowing it wouldn't hit too hard "Hey, what sort of creepy pervert do you take me for? I really have better things to do at night than to listen to couples through walls. Though I doubt it Itaka. Think Elorin has relaxed a little on Oassu for the time being and as easy money as it is at times. I'm at the point where I really want to do something that involves me making use of my skillset properly"
Satoshi laughed "Well yeah most of it would be regular. Its all about getting youself associated with a credited swordmaster when it comes to training though. Would be seen as an honor to have lessons from yourself. Your certaily quite popular as far as mercenaries go. Perhaps the only minor celebrity for it"

Itaka rolled his eyes seeing Hayate knock the ball at Seph "Well this will probably be right up your alley then, hardly a friendly place I'm sure you'll get a brawl or two somewhere here" he said smirking at Seph's suggestion.
Gil shook his head "There's a few other big names, but most them are only known amongst contractors and military leaders, I'm just the only mercenary who is family friendly so to speak" he said reaching up to unclip his helmet and lay it on the table.
Jeckhart blushed a little as he reached up to stroke the fur on Hebal's shoulder "Um no I was alright, you just took me by surprise that's all" he said gasping slightly as he rubbed Hebal's shoulder "Oh that is nice and soft, is it always so soft and fluffy after you shave it?" he said stroking the fur.

Hebal shook her hair "Its more fluffy in the winter. At most what you are doing wiith a winter coat would just be tickling my fur but now its thinner it feels more like a massage when you do it. And if you don't look after it after a feew days of shaving it goes all coarse. Except the ears, they always feel fuzzy" she answered moving his hand briefly to her ear to show him the difference. "Anyway shall we go upstiars now. Don't want to risk people walking in and seeing the mess"
Alpha laughed glancing over to see what the noise is "Now that is definately what you would call a foul. Still if pool had more action like that I would probably watch it more. "You are kidding though right? Dunno about you but I couldn't see Hayate being in much of a brawl"
Seph let out a small groan and rubbed the side "Well I don't know, don't think the king would be too happy if he knew his little princess Felina was doing things with Oassu before marriage though. But what are you talking about Alpha, he just fired a ball at me in a game. Thats enough to get the whole bar brawling let alone starting a basic brawl heh heh"

Satoshi snickered "Well I wouldn't go as far as to call you family friendly. Im sure fully armed and dangerous you could scare many a kid and parent. Though you are pretty well spoken and more honourable than the average mercenary that much is true I know for sure. Also you are probably one of the few that uses your real name. My mother uses a fake name for all her work, not that she has to do any ninja work when she earns as much as she does in her career. Never been tempted to get yourself some fancy nickname or title?"
Hayate shrugged with a small laugh "That may have been a foul move with a penalty but it was worth it" he concluded folding his arms while he waited. "I'll have you know I am perfectly capable of engaging in a bar brawl should I be in the mood to engage in more uncivilised behaviour. The desert is good for shooting at least because of the lack of obstructions between your targets"

Gil shrugged "Even if I didn't use my own name it's not like I could disguise myself or hide especially well given my unique appearence." he said shrugging "Technically I'm already a Moogle Lord, since you asked about titles but your mother would have to use a fake name, though what is it if you don't mind me asking?" he asked.
Jeckhart nodded idly rubbing Hebal's ear "It feels nice in any case but yes lets go and clear that up then" he said removing his hand from Hebal's ear reluctantly "Won't this mean you'll be cold once we've left the desert though?" he asked.
Itaka shrugged "Personally I'd question why we're taking Hayate and two royals into a territory where they'd probably be targeted so he's not quite the best for the mission but on the other hand he might know the land better than us and like he says it's easier to shoot over the sands" he said
