Jewlet listioned to Laila as she swam backwords. "Ya. I hope so..." She sighed bored out of her mind. "True. We just got to plan it right and be careful." She did a flip and smiled as she started to control the water around her.
Sunia went back to the waters edge and looked out at the water as small waves were made on it's surface. "The sun has forgotten the pain it has coused." She sighed.
Jewlet looked past Liala and pointed. "Looky. The Blue Steel Fairy." She smerked.

"I suppose I can, food here must be cleaner then the food I ate from the swamps."
Little bits and pieces came from their speak, they knew something about him or just didn't trust him well enough to speak openly. If they trully knew who he was, why not strike now? They were obviously holding till Mizu's lan was regonized or they didn't trust 'Uzimi' fully. Whatever the reason, time was the sure answer.
"Obviously the Phoenix King gets some pretty good food, nothing less for royalty."
Mizu said this well knowing that the Water Emperor and his wife often had the best access to food in all of the sea, meaning it only natural for royalty like the Phoenix King to have the same type of customs.

“I think we have time for one meal.” She said salivating at the thought of food, as Tibarn signalled for the servants to bring in the food as he led them to a table.
“Well than enjoy.” Tibarn said taking his seat at the end of the table. “So Rikku how is you priestess work coming along........ ” He said not noticing that they had been trying to hide it. “You always take more than you can handle, especially when it gets so close to the day of oracles.” He shrugged.
Rikku just nodded, unsure of what to do now that her cover was blown. “Oh, look the food is here!” she said as the servants entered the room, at just the right time. There are many different types of food that the servants laid before them, all of which were made to perfection.

Ruri followed along behind Tibarn and sat next to Rikku, eye the food hungerly. When Tibarn mentioned that Rikku was the Priestess on the other hand, she winced and eyed Mizu, unsure of what he was going to do. She also took a quick glance at Maia while she was at it.

Maia hissed and slid back, what was going to happen now? "Yes...Rikku does enjoy Body-guarding the Priestess, she's an excellent warrior." Maia Stammered, it was stupid, but it was all she could think of in a split second. She glared at Tibarn while facing away from Uzimi. Taking a seat next to Ruri, she whispered again, "If anything happens, I'm taking over his body, I hope your Master does not mind that." She was referring to her ability to enter a slightly different world and slip into the consciousness of another living creature. It would allow her to take control of the situation for about thirty seconds before she was forced back into her own mind.

Laila looked up through the water towards the fairy. The waves were disfiguring the fairy's features, but Laila knew who this was. According to the information she gained from scouting mission, this fairy was called Sunia or Sonia or something. She was always around thse shores, making life difficult for Laila. Whenever Laila was about to go on a mission, she had to make sure this fairy was around before leaving the sea, the same went for going back from the land to the sea. Laila's eyes burned with anger as she watched the fairy moving in the air above the water. Once, this fairy hung around for so long, that Laila had to fly to another shore to dive back into the sea, before she died from dehydration.

The Phoenix King gave even more clues to the fact this Rikku was indeed the Priestess he was looking for, but there was one problem; It also meant 'Uzimi' wouldn't get very far if he wasn't trusted. Mizu needed to pull off something to make them trust him more or at least make it so he didn't seem like his true identity. This was a problem for Mizu, what action could result in further trust? 'Uzimi' could take the hints and leave, maybe they would feel sorry for him and regret thier mistrust, but the fox creature obviously would see beyond that. There was the option of seeming depressed, but it wasn't a sure plan. The last was the one he hated the most; treat the High Priestess with repect of her status. This would be trully impossible for Mizu and if anyone found out, his reputation would dive into oblivion. The option of combining the plans together had a chance of working and not damage his reputation as much.
"There is no use hiding...I know Rikku is the High Priestess, many things suggested that...I suppose you have a right to try to keep it secret from me, being a stranger."
'Uzimi' sat down and took his first bite of food, considering this would be his last decent meal for a time, he started loading his plate rather quickly.
"If it would please the Priestess then, I will leave you all after this meal and try to find my own way to the Lake of Allies, I don't wish to burden you all on your journey."

Jewlet swam up to Liala. "Hey do you know why she is so attacted to the water?" She asked smiling as she had loads on information about alot of land beings. "Oh, I see hate and a lot of it." She smerked. "Not all of them are bad. There are some fighting for the water side." She relaxed and crossed her arms. "Everytime I see her looking at the water... it seems she is searching for something or lost..." She started to talk to her self as her brain to begin to speak out loud. "Hm... She's not really a fighter type. Maybe I can ask her why?"

Laila looked at the fairy through the thick layer of water again. The fairy seemed to be staring at the sea, her silhouette outlined in the beaming sunlight. She had always pondered this question whenever she had nothing much to do. It was really strange that this land fairy was so attracted to the waterfront, it was not like this fairy had gotten anything like her inborn disorder. Hmmm, but maybe Jewlet could get an answer from the fairy. "Well, why not? As long as you don't get caught, I am sure it is fine," Laila shrugged.

Jewlet watched and waited for Liala answer to her idea. She did a flip happy to see she could go. "Alright!" She grinned and started to move twords Sunia carefully. Once her head was out of the water she stopped. "Hey Blue Steel Fairy, why do you always stare out at the sea?"
Sunia looked at Jewlet as she spoke to her. "Why would you ask such a question mermaid?" She said as she sat down on her legs.
"Please, miss fairy! I could help." Jewlet said lieing. "Please!"
Sunia looked at her. So much like a child... She thought sighing. "I will give you some information but not much." She looked at the water. "I lost or gave, as most believe now, a life to the sea. No one believes my words when it comes to that year..."

Laila watched as Jewlet went half-exposed in the air. She stayed ready, in case the fairy was a trap to lure water creatures onto land. Laila could hear voices speaking on the land, but couldn't really hear their words. She tried to swim closer to the surface, but the sunlight filtering through made it a lot harder for her to get close. After a few times of getting her skin burnt by the light, Laila settled back into the depth of water, waiting for their chat to be over.

Jewlet listioned as her ears twiched with interest. "Oh. So that is the sad, bad story I heard about you." She looked down seeing the sad look on Sunias face. "Who did you lose?" She asked trying to get as much information as she could. She tilted her head.
Sunia stood up and looked down at Jewlet. "I seems the story has passed on to the water beings..." She sighed and shook her head. "I will stop there. My heart is to heavy to speak of this any further." She bent down with her knees and touched the ground. A silver steemed, blue rose grew out of the ground and the she took it out if the ground. "Here you can have this." She smiled and handed it to Jewlet.
Jewlet looked at Sunia and took the rose. "Ok, then. Thanks for telling me." She smiled and went back under water. She went over to Liala. "She's sad... Well I got more some what not need information."

Laila sighed with relief as Jewlet came back into the water. Laila swam forward, her wings flapping gently, to meet Jewlet. It seemed that she had come back with a souvenir, a beautiful blue rose with silver stem. A sweet fragrance floated through the water, and towards Laila's nose and mouth, it was so sweet that she could almost taste it on her tongue. It was a very familiar scent, but she couldn't remember where she had smelt it before. "So, what did she tell you?" Laila asked with a smile on her face.

"Well, I am very sorry for lying to you." She said shame fully, being sincerely apologetic. "Please don't think that I am a liar, or a bad person or something like that... just Maia didn't know if you were trustable or not so she had me lie just in case." SHe said calmly looking up at him. "Oh please let us take you there it isn't that far out of our way...." She looked away. "And besides... if you try to go alone bad things can happen.... not everyone on the land is as open minded towards the water creatures as we are. and yes I agree we need to leave after this meal." SHe said as she filled her plate with food.
"Eat." Tibarn said in a commanding tone. "Don't be afraid, to eat in front of me or something, the harpy tribes... are quite renowned for our ability to eat." He said piling his plate High with food.

Jewlet looked at Liala and then started to talk. "She lost a life to the sea. But others believe she gave a life to the sea." She shook her head. "I believe is and lost a life to the sea. She didn't say what though." She sighed and smelled the rose. "It smells nice, but the smell is way to sweet for me." She looked over at Liala as she knew more to this then what Sunia told her. "Here." She handed to the rose to Liala. "On land this rose can mark a grave by growing into a tree, bring luck, or grant a wish I think... I can't remember..." She sighed a search her brain.
Sunia turned away from the water as she was called. She quickly went to the fairy village after she took to her fairy size. "What is going on?" The other fairy spoke. "The queen wishes to see you." Sunia nodded and headed strait for the fairy queen.
