Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, I do. Because a lot of those Reaper's you so think are out to get you are just misguided, or following Krul's orders so they don't get butchered by her. They are probably more scared then you think, and if everyone even remotely TRIED to do what Joker did, or Artemis did, we might have a lot more powerful allies on our side then what we have now. Take a look around, you're teams and ours could have joined together and formed one massive alliance against the real problem, that being Krul..With all the magic and skills put together, she couldn't possibly win. We deal with her, and maybe free a whole lot of 'dangerous' Reapers along the way. That's how things should be done, not picking fights here. " Tina took a breath, boy, she was extra chatty today. "Anyway, enough of this. Allie or not, you hurt him, and that can't be so easily forgiven...you could open yourself up to being every Avalanche member's number one enemy doing something like that. "


As he began to walk closer, Tina's confidant face began to show with the twisted little smirk she wore. "Oh, I know it. Do you really think i'd let you scratch such a perfect body like this? You won't touch me, this 'small' girl has it's perks, i'm much faster then you, old man!" Old man, he was only like eighteen or maybe early twenties, but hey. "You're going to regret letting me go first..." And just like that, Tina took off like a jet, rushing for Ephraim. Rushing for a man with a giant spear didn't seem like the right choice of attack, and that's what she hoped he would think she was attempting and making him raise the spear to impale her, if he was that heartless. Just when she was nearly at him, the threatening PINK blade pulsed with a deeper pink energy, all of which shot out from the blade in dozens of streaks that all seemed to home right onto him. But that wasn't all, as he would feel the surges of intense electricity coursing through his beloved sacred spear, and into his body full force. The impact of both her blade's magic and the intense Lightening should have literally knocked him on his back before he could so much as react any further, and quite possibly knock his spear a distance away..Had this happened...It would be no time that he would feel his next problem, the not so heavy weight of the teen's boots pressing harshly into his gut, it was the most unprotected area of his armor from what she could find, and enough to torment him a little at the very least. "I was barely even trying, so why did the small girl knock down the hulking king? I think that makes me better then you...and if you don't want to be anymore humiliated, you should probably agree. If not, I won't feel bad hurting you. REALLY hurting you..Maybe I should put this right here, and press down to see how much you can bleed..." As she said those words, he would feel the tip of her blade pressing into his shoulder now, enough to draw blood. "What's it going to be? "

Tina just rolled her eyes in annoyance, she had no interest in arguing further. She couldn't change his mind, nor could he change her opinion. "You did pick it, the moment you stabbed your filthy spear into my dads shoulder. Honestly, that action would call for immediate death, but seeing as you fought with us against the Beast, I can't bring myself to make that happen. " If Clouds injury was fatal, then she wouldn't hesitate, but even she knew that was strangely not -that- big of a deal when it came to their healing magic. "Anyway, enough talking..more teaching you a quick lesson!" And it seemed in the blink of an eye, embarrassingly so for Ephraim, she had him down with his back against the ground way more easier then he would have liked.
It became a much more amusing scene as he attempted to push her off, even grabbing her leg did him no help. He would also notice the second she attacked him, her body was suddenly flowing with a deep pink energy. He may of put together that was the source of her extremely unrealistic power that continued to hold him down, and unable to escape. "Heh..Never underestimate a girl because she's smaller. We'll be the ones putting you in place! " Tina grinned devilishly down at him, slipping her foot away, only to fall into a straddle position over him. "I can't humiliate you huh? It looks like I already did.." He may notice, there were whispers starting to reach his ears, and soon a few laughs, within moments, the laughter was really picking up and they began to cheer Tina's name! ...Yes, she was quite popular in Midgar. "You hear that? That's humiliation, directed right to the weak man below me. It's time for you to apologize....to him. WHILE you're here on the ground like a pathetic little Tina slave. Apologize to him now. "

Tina's attention may of seemed unbreakable when it came to her victory moments, she was so set on making Ephraim feel humiliation, noticing anything else was impossible, right? ...Not exactly, as the teen suddenly leaped away just before the explosion of light magic could hit it's blond haired target. Tina cooly dropped back to the ground, and was about to raise her sword to her new target when her blade was suddenly knocked out of her hands, flying a good distance back. There her eyes would come to settle on the grinning face of a rather energetic fellow,one who's eyes of determination matched her own. He was sure confidant! "Hmmm? " Well! This situation sure took a strange turn. Even Tina didn't quite realize how flustered he was until his hand went to his face, attempting to cover his eyes....and doing so very poorly. What an amusing one this boy was. "Am I your opponent, or are my looks your opponent? " She asked him rather smugly, running a hand through her hair as she placed one hand to her hip. Yes, she was definitely playing with his head now! "Are you sure about that? You're terrible at lying, you know. I CAN see your eyes through those parted fingers. " Tina took a slow step toward Reiner, and then..she was out of his field of vision. She was quick, as Ephraim had learned the hard way! He would feel a fist strike him directly in the back, likely sending him flying forward into the dirt. Had that little sneaky move worked, she would waste no time before moving in on him next, planting her foot into his back where she struck him. "Iron will, huh? Why are you and your dad so weak? It's like planting tree's, I planted you both into the ground! Hahaha! " Of course, it wasn't that hard to figure out who he was. No other teenage boy would go rush to protect a guy like Ephraim if he wasn't something very important to them.

Tina's smirking face only widened as she watched him. "Oh yeah, that's believable. Ether you have a serious sun condition where that cute face of yours turns red as a lobster,or you are one big liar. Hmm, what could it be? Oh, Liar! " As he went on about being a prince, Tina let out a amused laugh, but after word said nothing and instead went on her little attack! Just like his father there, he was easily put to the ground. She seemed to really enjoy her abilities a bit to much sometimes, having an Esper for a mother was pretty darn awesome for her, but not so much her enemies! Especially weak boys that fell victim to her looks. Poor Reiner. "You almost had nothing but defeat! " She pressed her boot against his shoulder, giving a slight shove to roll him over onto his back, before sinking down so her knee was now holding him down, and her eyes set on his nervous green eyes. "Does the little prince need a princess? " She grinned down at him. "In this case, this prince needs the princess to protect him because he's so WEAK!" A little fun teasing never hurt anything! Obviously, Tina was no princess, far from it!

"You aren't doing the best job of being a proper prince then, are you? " Tina asked him, her grinning face didn't falter once. "Hmm, I did, glad to know your hearing isn't as bad as your honesty, Mr. Prince of Blushes and Lies." She was having fun with this, it seemed! "Oh, do you need super strong Tina to come save you before you fall? " If he had any pride in himself as a man, being so looked down on might bother him a good deal. Tina wasn't THAT strong, but she definitely was stronger then any normal human thanks to her mothers side. "Boy, I hope you don't try to handicap yourself in a real battle, you won't last ten seconds in the world, or here in Midgar for that matter! There happens to be many places just crawwwwlllling with creepy monsters just wanting to eat a nummy prince meal! I doubt they will ask you to uncover your eyes before they eat you!"
After a long while, Tina finally raised off of him, and took a step back. "Oh, no! I'm sooo scared. You should just admit you failed this so called fight and give up. I think our parents took off anyway...So, do you require assistance standing or are you a strong prince that can recover quickly? "

Tina's arms crossed as she stood there, obviously a little more relaxed now, it seemed their little fighting and bickering was slowing to an end. "Hmm? Aww, but it fits you so well! Very well, then, i'll decide on a better name as we get to know each other. How's that sound? " She asked him with a playful grin.
"Hee,hee. Oh really? Just so you know, I wasn't actually trying to REALLY hurt you. But yeah, I know. I am pretty awesome aren't I!" It was a wonder who was worse, Tina or Erina when it came to their pride in skills. Which was amusing on it's own considering Erina wasn't anywhere near as good as she made herself out to be. Her blue eyes sparked with interest as he went on to say something completely obvious, how did he not know she clearly already knew that?? "You say that as though you think I didn't already know! As if I didn't see those bright green eyes peeking out from between your fingers. You wouldn't be the first to look at me that way, but you are the first prince to. Ahaha..." Tina wasn't one to get to blushy, she was kind of used to all the compliments given to her by the lot of boys in the city, but something felt different when he complimented her. Strangely, all the other boys words sounded completely fake, while his were so much more sincerer. Was it his good upbringing he clearly had as a prince that made him so genuine? It may of had a lot to do with it. "Umm, thanks.." She gave him a silly grin, shaking her head slightly. "Of course not, i'm one of a kind! But I wonder, is a prince such as yourself even allowed to hang out with someone like me? I doubt your family is going to want their way-to-sweet-son spend time with a girl like me..I'm not quite as tame, you know. I might be a bad influence on you or something." And by tame, of course she meant her wildness. She kind of did what she wanted, lucky for her she didn't have such strict parents, at least not in this time!
She took a step closer to him, leaning in slightly. "Plus, if we do hangout and train together, what happens if you fall in love with me, and your parents didn't approve? What would you do then? " She could be one very direct girl sometimes, but it was also clear by her silly grin that she was teasing him. "He,he..Master Tina..that just sounds so weird to me. Let's stick to just Tina, and I won't call you Mr.Prince-of-Blushes and Lies! " She gave him a playful nudge in the chest. "Something tells me I don't think I would want you to do this request with anyone else, anyway! I accept, Cutie-Prince. "

"There's a lot of royalty's living in this city and around the world, maybe the world wants to be saved by a bunch of royals this time? " She joked, it did seem like it! How many royals were in the world now? She lost count! "Though considering you are in Midgar, I would keep the low profile going. It's not exactly the safest place in the world. Not that you couldn't handle these losers, but still..You never know. Midgar seems to be magnet for evil.So Reiner is the safest way to address you, I think. " He didn't want to attract unnecessary attention to himself, not to mention how many poor people lived here, hearing a prince was in the area, to someone with no money that might make him the perfect target to mug.
"Hmm. Heh, you know it would. You couldn't possibly beat me, not with all the training in the world! " She really loved to build up that pride with a bunch of lies! "Discreet, huh. I think that's one skill you majorly lack! "
Tina's expression fell into an amused smirk as he attempted to cover his eyes again. "You know, it's not that showy. People at beaches wear much less then this. I am fully covered! What has you so nervous about the way I dress? Gotta move fast, and I can't have bothersome long clothing getting in my way, you know! "

His innocence was far to amusing, even Tina could see he didn't quite realize his own words were probably not quite how what he thought. Putting up her hands in a sort of monster clawing motion, Tina couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease him a little. "Raarr...Wild Tina is going to be a bad influence on this innocent prince!" Lowering her hands after a moment, Tina thought about what he said, as the image of herself humiliating Reiner's father only a short time ago flashed into her mind. She was almost about to laugh until his next words caught her attention, and for a brief moment she seemed a little lost in those words. Was it a prince thing, or was he just that charming? It wasn't easy to cause Tina to fall speechless, in fact, such a thing never happened before..until now! Her face tinted a faint pink, and she had to turn her face away a moment, pretending to look off to the side at something! "...Oh...um...well! Whoever the girl is you fall in love with...will be a lucky girl." They may of been flirting this whole time, but that didn't mean anything would happen between them! "..Er..you think so? Why is that? I don't have anything against being with a prince..! I-I think after you spend time with me for a while, you definitely won't fall in love with me! " He totally had her flustered this time, what a few rare moments Tina was having in the presence of the young prince.
It took a moment to shake off the rare moment of her blushing face before she could get her own composure back. "Then...there's two cute people here! That better? " She couldn't not agree with him on her part, she knew she was cute! But so was he! "Just walk along side of me, I don't think walking with your eyes looking up will help you get anywhere, expect maybe into a light pole, silly prince.." She motioned for him to follow along side of her as she began to walk forward. "You really don't get out much, do you? Sheltered prince life doesn't sound very fun....it's a good thing you met me then. " She grinned, it was probably more of a bad thing, he would get into more trouble then ever before if he stuck around Tina that much! "Yeah, there's the Walmarket. That's where all the creeps hangout, i'd avoid that place if you are ever exploring without me. You can't miss the giant neon glowing sign. Just stay away! Also, you'll want to stay away from the ShinRa Tower, the biggest building in Midgar, you can't miss it. I don't exactly know what's up with their idiot off-worlder president they have now, I just know he's trouble, and that place has always been trouble for Avalanche. That's what our group is called.."

Tina nodded her head, his title may not of meant a lot to the people of this world, but he was still a prince, and knowing that even Tina would show a LITTLE more respect and kindness. Just a little! "I think I see the big problem here. You don't even know what a beach is?! " The amusement on her face was clear, but also full of malevolence. She would really enjoy putting the pressure on the sheltered prince one day, by taking him to the beach. "Just wait, little Reiner. I will show you exactly what a beach is..and no! It is not a place like you are strangely thinking.." She had to say that one without laughing herself. She would have to make arrangements for Costa Del Sol at some point. Maybe steal the Highwind for a day! No one used it anyway!
Her playful attitude today was an uncommon one for sure, but even Tina had the ability to be goofy and unintentionally be cute at the same time.Her blue eyes blinked on in a puzzled, almost surprised manor which might very well be just about as cute.Did she make his second wish come true too? But soon the reddening of her face sneaked its way back, too! "Ahaha...you..you must have unknown magical powers that make girls faces red..." She wasn't used to blushing so much! But he seemed to be doing a good job at making her very blushy today.
It wasn't a moment later that Reiner was the one turning away to hide his face, which could be considered pretty cute interactions with these two.
"O-okay! Leave it to me...Tina will show Reiner as much of the world as possible. It may take time, but that's just all the more fun to have and for you to really learn of everything you've been missing out on.." Which seemed to be a lot.
