Felina smiled loosening her grip on Oassu's hand "The language barrier will become less of a problem in the palace district. Most of the well educated elves live there and are fluent. Father hired a personal tutor to spend 2-3 hours a day teaching me different languages since I was 6." she explained continuing to follow the street and turned a corner.
Satoshi looked around noticing that buildings were larger and the shops had started to sell more and more expensive clothing along with other items. "We found the palace" she stated pointing to the large building in the distance surrounded by walls. "This area is flashy" she added.

Oassu pondered this "Wow thats early...you elves age slower than us so you woulda only been a baby when you started learning our language"
Itaka shrugged "They say its easier to learn when your younger anyway" he said glancing at Seph "Nah that kinda style ain't for me those kinda folk are all talk and thats not me, politicians and rich people are all prattle without practice"
Mari giggled "Still a little respect is fun" she said as Hebal dragged her along "Enjoy the moment Itaka!" she called

Seph nodded in agreement with Mari. "She's right you know, it's not everyday you get to tell people what to do. Besides not all rich people are like that. Look at Felina and I have a small fortune myself sitting back at home. You''ll be rich too when you get payment for the last mission" she added patting him on the back.
Alpha's gaze shifted over to where Satoshi had pointed us too "It looks like a very nice place but call me boring and old fashioned but couldn't you just teleport us to the gate so we dont have to pass all these shops" he requested to the ninja.
Hebal rolled her eyes at Alpha before quickly skipping in a circle around him "You're just being lazy now. Theres pleanty to see in the shop windows on the way. You can spend ages in the palace after we walk down here."

Felina giggled putting away the file Hayate had given her "Thats the idea, they try to make you learn as many languages as possible as soon as you begin to develop speech." she explained turning to Satohi. "Don't bother with the teleporting hes just being-"
Felina got cut off as the smoke from Satoshi's jutsu filled her lungs. Satoshi coughed a couple of times as the smoke cleared up to reveal the group standing outside the large gate of the palace. "Sorry Felina. You should have spoken up a little sooner."
Felina sighed as the guards immediately raised their weapons at the group "It's ok really. Now drop your weapons and open the gates" she commanded. The guards hesitated looking at the princess in shock before nodding and pulling the gate wide open for the group to enter.

Oassu flinched a little at the sight of the guards pointing their weapons at them before entering he laughed nervously "Your doing a good job..." he mumbled to the guards as he passed.
Itaka grinned at Seph "Yeah your right as usual we'll need to drop that book off after this but it shouldn't be hard" he nodded to the guards as they entered "Hey Felina does this place have a bowling alley? I've been itching for a game lately?" he leaned forward to ask her.
Mari sighed "And I wanted to see the shops...coulda bought stuff," she sighed.
Oassu rolled his eyes "Fat chance, my funds are almost emptyed I'd need to return home and get some money from the guild before we go trigger happy with money here"
Mari pouted but stopped suddenly gazing at the palace "It's beautiful!" she cried following the others.

Seph glared a little at the guards as she stepped through the gate "No need, it can get it sent off via the mognet. I would rather relax a little longer by the pool or something not too active" she sighed looking around at the gardens.
Alpha chuckled nudging Seph in the side "whos the lazy one now. We can always go off and do our own thing if you want to shop. If theres a bowling alley I'll take you on in a game or two" he added to Itaka.
Hebal gazed straight past the guards and onto the palace gardens "This place is so pretty" she squealed bending down to examine a bunch of flowers growing by the path "We can see the shops later Mari"

Felina smiled at Hebal picking one of the flowers and placed it in her hair "Yea the bowling alley is next to one of the pools, most of the entertainment and relaxation things are kept together. I'll make sure you get some time to relax" she added linking arms with Oassu.
Satoshi bent down to see what Hebal was looking at. "Whats so great about flowers? Anyway I would like to go to the pool sometime, either that or go shopping. It all depends on what mood I am in later" she yawned focusing her attention onto the building.

Oassu smiled and stroked Felina's hair with the flower in it causing a gardener to gasp and dive behind a bush. "Yea sounds like it's gonna be fun here but first we gotta meet the family"
Itaka raised an eyebrow at Alpha "Thats good Alpha I've got something to tell you anyway" he said looking at the palace "You sure they'll let us stay here and not shift us to some motel...that would be terrible cause this place sounds great."
"Doesn't it just" Mari said stopping for a moment to let Sophia play with the flowers "I can't wait to go for a swim here and get out of these clothes" she shivered with anticipation at the thought.

Seph smirked as a second gardener let out a gasp "Your servents don't seem to know the meaning of being subtle, hopefully the family will do better" she laughed as they headed towards the main set of doors.
Alpha scratched his head looking at Itaka's face suspiciously. "You want to tell me something that can't be said out loud in front of everyone? Must be either serious or embarrassing. Either way I'll be happy to listen provided you dont ramble on like an old man" he whispered to him.
Hebal stood up again fighting the temptation to make a daisy chain with the flowers. "You have some really nice gardens here. Must be a real pain to look after but it's worth it" she chirped picking a single flower of her own and gave it a sniff.

Felina glared at the gardener causing him to turn away and dash off out of sight "The gardens aren't too hard to take care of but lets go meet my family. One of them is waiting for us a the door" she stated lowering her tone.
Satoshi looked up at the huge doors the group had slowly appproached to find a tall elf at least a few decades older than Felina.with the same colour hair. "I take it that elf is Elithana" she whispered to the princess without taking her eyes off the stranger."
Felina nodded pinching Satoshi's arm "Stop that. All the staring you two keep doing is rude and wont do any favours for Oassu" she scolded in a whisper. "Hey Eli!" she called waving to the elf as they approached the steps.
Elithana simply looked up and down at Felina without saying a word. "Sorry Felina but we will have to catch up later. Mum and Dad want to speak to you immediately" she eventually answered apologetically before giving Felina a quick hug and walking off.
Satoshi followed Elithana off with the corner of her eyes making sure she was out of sight "Whats your sisters problem? she seemed pretty mad"

Itaka smiled "Don't worry Alpha I ain't that old I don't ramble" he glanced at Eilthana rolling his eyes "Geez its not like you disappeared randomly and haven't seen each other for ages" he said sarcastically as Eilthana walked away. He turned back to the door "Looks like your going to be meeting the family soon enough," he groaned.
Oassu laughed nervously before leaning in towards Felina "She doesn't know about us does she? Tell me that coldness wasn't because of me please?" he muttered quickly.
Mari frowned a little "It seems like none of your family have much time for us so far" she sighed patting Sophia gently "Oh well lets go meet the others" she said entering the palace.

Seph glared at Elithana walking off "Is she always that cold? Seriously she could have stayed longer since it didn't look like she was doing anything important" she grumbled taking her attention off Elithana and onto Felina "Are you alright" she asked Felina.
Alpha sighed pulling open the second door wide open before following Mari inside. "Just ignore your sister it's probably that time if you know what I mean but which way to the throne room?" he said looking around the hallway.
Hebal hopped up behind Oassu to give him a small pinch on the back of the neck "She doesn't know your together silly. Keep calm and focus on the parents for now" she advised him before looking around inside the palace. "This place is pretty on the inside and looks so much bigger" she commented

Felina shook her head and placed a hand on Oassu's shoulder "No no it's not you, it's because of me. She is still mad that I left without telling anyone" she sighed pointing to the doors straight ahead with guards standing in front of it.
Satoshi stared at the guards to distract her from the thought oh stealing something from the hall "Just leave your sister, she'll get over it soon now that you are back" she reassured Felina cheerfully as the guards noticed the group and stepped aside to open the door for them.
"It's nice to see you again so soon" Elorin called from accross the room. He stood up from his throne and walked over to the group quickly followed by the woman who had been sitting next to him. "I see you have met more people on your travels. It's nice to meet you" he said bowing, the queen meanwhile pulled Felina into a tight hug.

"Umm" Oassu bowed too "Its nice to meet you again your highness thank you for letting us into your home" he said
Mari straightened up and bowed "It is a honour to meet the father an mother of such a wondrous princess my name is Mari" she said.
Sophia squinted at Mari and tried again to bow like her, suceeding this time "And this is Sophia" she said bending down to pat her.
Itaka looked about at the others before grudgingly bowing as well "Its a nice place you've got here Elorin, thanks for letting us stay here a bit" he said

Seph watched the rest of the group bowing before deciding to copy the action. "It's good to see you again sir and thank you for kindly allowing us to stay in your house" she bowed clumsily with a grin.
Alpha bowed then stood up straight in front of the king "It's nice to see you made it back safely. Hayate can't be with us right now but he gave us his report and said he would come along later."
Hebal bowed and shook Elorin's hand vigorously "It's an honor to meet you your highness and thank you for taking the time to speak with us" she chirped letting go of his hands to shake the queen's "It's good to meet you too. I can see where Felina gets her good looks from"
