Welcome to Gaia! ::

Saerenna scowled at Freyr for his flattery, but couldn't help the small grin that snuck it's way through. "Alright, then...." She submitted, rolling her eyes and taking his offered hand, using it to climb upon the chimera's back somewhat akwardly. This was nothing like riding a chocobo. But then again, she didn't ride chocobos that often, so it wasn't a really good comparison. 'I'm sitting on the back of one of the oddest people I've ever seen.' she thought to herself. 'And even though his lower half is animal, he's still human. So it's like getting a piggyback ride.' She shook her head and muttered, "This is too weird...."

((Wow, you guys! Fourth page already! Thank you ever so much for coming! ^_^ ^_^ heart ARIGATOU! ))

Cloud reached into his materia box and pulled out a few orbs. One he recognized as Restore, a yellow orb he recalled being Deathblow, and another orb that was a dark pink. Speed Plus, if he remembered right. He inserted them into his sword's materia slots and pulled out another handful of orbs that he threw in his pocket. He'd be prepared if anybody ... or anything ... attempted something against his life.

Closing the old box, he turned to head for the door with the orbs securely fastened. He felt confident and stronger, and made his way down the aisles of pews and out the door. Cloud straddled the bike and noticed a small gang of thugs moving in his direction with grins that only gave the indication of harmful intentions. He unsheathed his blade from its harness and flashed it so they could see it. Their eyes became wide with fear and it became apparent that they had lost their eagerness to cause any trouble with him.

"Maybe my feelings aren't so reliable anymore." he said to himself, the only sound in Sector 5 other than the rumble of his motorcycle's engine.

Saerenna held onto the strap on the way up. She wasn't about to cling to the waist of this random guy, though as they got faster, she almost wished for a better hold, but kept her grip on the strap anyway. She had to grip with her legs, too, though she was reluctant to do so, but she really didn't want to fall off. It became almost...fun. If you forgot the part that you were riding an odd chimera. When they reached the top, she bit her lip and looked around. So there HAD been something up there. She still half believed that Freyr had been pulling her leg about it. At his 'sweet' comment, she gave him a scowl and rolled her eyes. However, she replied in a serious tone. "Yes, it is disturbing...."

Saerenna grabbed her phone and called Millia again. For some reason she just felt more comfortable talking to her than to Reno. Probably because, even though he was somewhat of a slacker, he was still her superior, and rather daunting in a fight. It just seemed a lot less stressful to talk to Millia as more of friends, than to Reno as an obvious superior. "There's nothing much up here now...but it looks like we've got a broken robot, and sighs that someone was here not long ago." She reported. "Have you guys found anything down there?"

Speculating the place in her current position, hoping that she could at least find something. And when her eyes got hold of that something, the phone rang...again.

Looking at the screen, it was Saerenna. "Maybe she found something..." She murmered before answering the call. "Yeah?" Her eyes playfully moved around as she listened to Saerenna. "A broken robot..?" Her face changed in utter confusion.

"Someone was there?" Millia's eyes widen, her eyebrows arched. "Why not you-" She was about to ask them to go look for the person since whoever was there couldn't have gotten that far. But after overhearing Freyr, she narrowed her eyes and pouted. "-nevermind then..."

When she was asked if whether they found something, all Millia did was hummed playfully, leaving Saerenna irritated, or at least annoyed. Moving from where she stood, she walked over to a certain location.

"...Yeah. I did." Finally answering her question. She gave Reno a look and gestured him to come over, squatting down like she did earlier.

Her eyes widened a little, using her right hand, she took out a handkerchief and used it to cover her mouth and nose. "...And it ain't good." Her eyes then went back to normal after identifying what she had found. "See ya when you get here..." She flipped the phone close, ending the conversation.

Millia was brushing off some dirt on what she believed was an object or some sort. After removing some of the dirt, she found out that it wasn't an object. She found a dead body. She knew right after feeling its fine and silky hair. The corpse seems to have been covered under the sand. This may be caused by the wind or sandstorms if there were any. Whatever it is, they got to dig out the body to see whether its relevant to their current case, or, its a ticket to a whole new case.

"Senpai, looks like its time to get busy..." She gave him a look, hoping that he'll do most of the work since Millia is in a half-disabled-like state. But not wanting to depend on onthers too much, she used her left hand to dig the body out.

Freyr returned Saerenna's sour glare with a smile, "Don't worry Pumpkin, she'll understand better soon enough." He said with a wink. "Hold on tight, I won't be leisurely about this." He braced letting her know with his body-language as well that he was about to bolt, and hesitated just long enough for her to get a good hold of the strap before he threw both of them down the ridge. The green landscape blurred past as he gained momentum in his downward dash. And in no time at all two black-suited figures began to enlarge quickly in their View. Freyr actually raced past Reno and Millie before exacuting a neat u-turn and racing back, slowing more gently as he reached them. He didn't even ask for an update on the situation but took one look at Millia digging up a corpse and padded over to her. "Hey sweet, let me work with that. I can dig up this Cadaver before you can blink, and I won't break any nails doing it." He grinned broadly and gently shouldered Millia out of the way. His enormous paws made short work of the soil, and when the corpse was partially uncovered he sank his claws into the fabric of the person's jacket, and pulling with his powerful hind-legs dragged the form from the dirt. Then he backed away from it, gesturing expansively towards it with one hand as he grinned at Millia and Reno, "It's all yours hun, have fun." He chuckled, not in the least annerved that he had removed a dead body from the ground with his own limbs.

Freyr glanced between the two as they spoke, a rougish smile still playing about his lips. "Well littlings, I suppose I can take a gander at it." He supplied cheerfully, He grinned at Reno, and wandered to the side of the corpse opposite the Turk... "I'd say... he's been attacked by a wild beast!" He proclaimed seriously, "Just look at those claw marks in his jacket!!" Gesturing of course, to the marks he himself had put there.
