Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gil shrugged "That's probably to your advantage in a stealth or infiltration mission however I'd imagine." he suggested stirring his noodles around "Still consequently since those are the majority of missions ninja are asked to take on you don't often get the big public missions, not many people will want to admit to utilising ninja I'd imagine" he said sympathetically.

Jeckhart paused smiling a little at the image "Not that I've seen, most demons have the power to transform into one form or the other. In fact I think it's a requirement to be allowed into this world that they manage one form but I'd imagine it's impossible to get stuck halfway" he said.

Itaka grunted "Who'd want to bury treasure in a tundra? Must be horribly cold" he said not wanting to encourage Seph's love of cold places "Still we've done well enough for now, you've probably got enough things in your house to keep you living comfortably for ages if you ever had to sell any" he said to Seph.

Satoshi nodded playing with her noodles "Yeah that is true though a little more credit and celebrations in my own village. Sometimes though people use ninja to do a statement act, so something pretty open for most to see without people knowing that they have anything to do with it. Its not a mission I would accept but some ninja would gladly take a few coin to beat someone up because the target apparently hurt someones pride" she answered squinting to make out the tiny airship in the sky coming towards them.

Hayate turned making a quick shot before putting the pool cue to one side to look at the map with Alpha "Hey for once you have actually ended up roughly where we need to be without me having to mark it on the map for you" he teased going back to see Seph had finished the game in his absence. "Heh good game there. Almost had you first time. I guess though anyone who sets up some form of settlement in isolated area will have at least planned something else like a well to make sure they don't go without important things" he shrugged.

Seph smiled pleased with her victory "Well how about you go to my place and then I'll go to yours or vice versa. I don't mind which we go to first" she suggested sitting back down beside Itaka. "I really don't mind doing pirating but sometimes the heat just goes straight to me head in those areas. I dont know how the no mou can stand Tricasia at times with their fur

Alpha rolled his eyes "I am ok at map reading. Its not my strongest talent butI would rather give flying my full attention instead "Why not just go everywhere at least once in search of treasure? I've made my fair shair of profit in my youth that way. And if Itaka really doesn't want to I'll go looking for demonic artefacts with you in the ice"

Hebal paused "I guess so though I dont think I have met many demons that had a particularly ugly form to change into. So what made you want your form to look the way it does? I know that Miss Hikari just wanted legs and Seph just wanted to look like herself before she started changing. I find it pretty fascinating how your human forms age as you do also. Would have thouught someone would have found away to keep the other form looking young and healthy all the time"

Gil nodded "That's true I suppose but I'm not sure that last part you said holds true, your dad is meant to be somewhat of a hero for the village after all is he not?" he asked turning to spot the airship "Hmm we'd better eat fast it seems" he said turning back to finish his food.

Itaka shook his head placing an arm around Seph as she sat back down "Well it's not that I have a problem with the tundra, just think there's better profit and more fun to be had elsewhere," he said giving Seph a small kiss as congratulations for her victory. "Still perhaps it'll be worse Hayate, Seph's going from Yithra Winter to hot desert after all" he chuckled.

Jeckhart blinked and looked at his form "Umm...I haven't really thought about it, I just didn't want to look monstrous I suppose, something that would blend in so I'd be good for missions" he said scratching his chin "I guess that's a different thing for children raised by the Clan, they are encouraged to choose a form that'll help their missions whereas most others just want to choose whatever they like" he said shrugging as he sweeped up the last of it "And you are right Hebal, demons elves and humans are all capable of it with powerful magic, well any magically powerful raise I suppose can pull off that effect. I bet Anakuda won't really ever feel the effects of old age as her transformation skills are just that strong" he said.

Satoshi shook her head "My father is very famous within the villages but the rest of the world not ninja don't even know he exists. Like all good ninja who cover their tracks where they work. He goes in does a good job and all credit goes to the village itself from the contractor. My father doesn't seem to mind though. He's not one for fancy VIP treatment and a lot of attention. Just likes to have a quiet drink with friends. Train and do stuff with his family" she explained speeding up with her chopsticks.

"Well I guess that is probably the only thing you and Hebal will ever agree on Though I can guess her reasons for finding them attractive are very different to your own" Hayate replied between bited of the apple he had picked up from the counter surprised it had not rolled off the bench. "Though wouldn't flying around the cold areas slow down of freeze chobi's wings?"

Hebal giggled moving towards the door "You can stop sweeping now Jeckhart, we got it all up now hehe. Besides I have another task for you. I would be really greatful if you could help keep Zadina entertained. He looked so sad when Amane left and he's been by himself ever since. Just feels bad leaving him to mope all day" she requested in a more serious tone,

Alpha groaned pulling away at the levers to lower the airship "Yep thats the town. Quite a pretty countryside if you like pink I guess. Though I will have you know I would be a total gentleman in a snow viera village. Gotta behave in public if you want to stay there a night"

Seph shook her head "Your the worst gentleman ever Alpha. You would get kicked out fast heh. This town looks ok I guess. I thought Satoshi's place wouldnt be quite this rural though. Can't see any villages below though so the village must be fairly well concealed from airships. Which is impressive"

Gil shook his head "Don't worry about him he's had his breakfast already and I'll give him something more later on" he said reaching down to scratch Enkidu behind the ears "Still do you plan on breaking the news early on? I hope Alpha will do me the favour of dropping me off in the right location as well" he said.

Itaka nodded "Most places won't let you in, we got lucky having elven royals to get us a bit of a free pass most places, I imagine most places we'd be given a polite warning before being shot at if we'd went any further into the forest without the royals" he said looking out at the village "Seems strange to have a village so isolated considering we've not seen much else around here for a while" he turning his attention back to Seph "Maybe they don't have airship technology here, Mari's region didn't seem especially advanced" he added.

Jeckhart nodded frowning as he realised he was brushing nothing "Sure I'm not surprised if he was sad, he doesn't have the luxury of spending time with friends" he said picking up the broom "It's a hard life the young boy has chosen, he could have stayed in Yithra to continue his studies but I suppose he's happy. He's probably lucky the King or Queen didn't order it of him actually as I imagine they are his guardians now, still it's a good idea to check on him, hopefully he's just catching up on some sleep but it's nice you are concerned for him" he said smiling.

Satoshi froze a moment and swallowed hard "I think we should tell them as soon as possible. It wouldn't be fair to make Alpha have to take a longer detour than they need thoug first I want to get the entire group together to say the goodbyes plus show the picture I did of them all too. Would be unkind to leave any of them without saying a proper goodbye" she explained leading him to the nearest open field.

Hayate nodded "Well part of the reason I want to explore it is because of all the vast open countryside. Probably the only set of countries similar to the Yithra continent in that respect. If you take something worth trading with you, you are more likely to get in. Also if you are a white mage. Otherwise its a little pot luck so they say though most viera have welcomed me in no trouble"
