Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eara shrugged. "A sense." she replied honestly. "Confusion. I want to know why any bard would forsake his path I suppose, or at least one of his dearest companions. Most bard would forget their horse before forgetting or neglecting an instrument.... and besides, if he really is any good, or has true bardic abilities, I want to hear for myself. He'll need training somehow."

Gwyllion shook his head. "You offer all you want, Fir, but none of our family is so easy. If you want in my good graces, you could start by calling me by my name." he narrowed his eyes. "I trust where my path has led me, Korred, but why exactly do you say that?"

Gwyllion smiled a bit. "Well even our family has its secrets... What good would it do me to judge them? They did what they must as any society does I suppose. I figured she kept you around for situations like this... So how did you find out these things, hmn? You're too young to have seen for yourself."

"Teach him." Eara answered. "Keep him safe. Teach him how to use his bardic ability... the songs, the traditions... He'll go through the entire process, even if it's all compacted into less time than usual. He's awfully old for a new student, but he already has enough potential... There will probably be very little for me to teach him asides from control."

Eara glanced over her shoulder at the Korred, narrowing her eyes.
"Music and poetry are my life." she answered Kitaria bluntly. "He may be extremely skilled, but he has other things in his life he focuses on. Being a bard has always been first and foremost for me---I don't run little gangs, or run around sleeping with everyone I meet. He can bring the competition and set it at my feet. If I cannot beat it, then I'll acquiesce, but I'll be damned if he tries to induct him into his crew of rebels."
She was loud enough that both men could easily hear her.

Gwyllion only smiled. He was content with that answer, and now that Eara was interjecting, it moved the subject off the heavier things.
"Sounds like she's making a challenge."

"Hah!" Eara placed her hands on her hips. "You may be great with kids, but if you think Mor's going to allow you to recruit them, you have another thing coming."
"Does have a point. From what Vinnie said, she was awfully protective of the kids until they disappeared. She's been searching for a while, but with things on her lover's planet as they are..."
Eara nodded. "No wonder she hasn't found them yet. She just barely managed to find us."
Gwyllion smiled. "Perhaps finding isn't necessarily her strongest talent."
Eara nodded. "Probably not. Either way, he'll take to both of us more likely than not. Bards get along with one another for the---ehhh...." she frowned, thinking it over. "For the most part, I suppose... Either way, you're not inducting him, Fir."

Eara shook her head. "Why anyone would want to join your crew is beyond the knowledge I have." she answered. "It's hard to have any respect for someone who hardly has any respect himself, let alone acts like such a rag-tag street-urchin like you. If your members are as violent as Morrigan when you wanted HER to join, and as crazy as you are, that certainly can't be any good. Besides, do you really want to bring your crew into the problems these guys've been having?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Between all the enemies this crew has been attracting.... We have Nagaroi, aliens, from what Vincent told us on the trip some sort of demon-king... You REALLY want to get involved in all that?"
She had raised eyebrows. "You don't strike me as the type that enjoys getting IN trouble, even if you do like to cause it."

"Ashuri and I will attempt to lead Aled away from the city. I think though... perhaps we should send them to Beppu, it's in the Ouita Prefecture on the island of Kyuushuu. They can relax there, free from worry. Beppu is the onsen capital of Japan." Po-ar replied. "They always have tourists, so we could get them a uchiyu rotenbun. That way, no one will notice anything strange about them... especially Aoikage."

Onsen = Hot Spring
Uchiyu = Private Hot Spring
Rotenbun = Outdoor Hot Spring

Thus, Po-ar wants to get them a private outdoor hot spring.

Arashi nodded, "Agreed. There is an American saying that goes, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' and I trust you to realize that saying goes doubly for me." she smirked slightly, "Keep in mind, Garren-san, that it is my piece of the cauldron you are using..."

"One of Aled's weaknesses, Kaguyo-chan... is women." Ainsu replied. "If you recall, it was his love of Ashuri-san's friend Marori-san that started a lot of this mess in the first place. Granted, Aled was evil before then... but because of their rebellion... They were able to kill Aled the first time. I doubt he'll make the same mistake again." the Tarnb-jin sighed. "Either way, I doubt he'll be so forgiving for you again either. The same goes for Morrigan-san. He tried to win you both over with his charms." he stopped, thinking on that for a moment.
"Charms..."
Ainsu's dark eyes brightened, "Kaguyo-chan... do you think... I mean... would it work to have Darrig-san try and charm Aled? At least enough to give us an advantage of surprise, I mean?"

Ainsu actually blushed slightly, "Must you remind me?" he asked before smiling. "If you want me honest opinion, Kaguyo-chan... Aled isn't very particular. Women are his weakness, yes... but I suppose the same could be said for beautiful men as well."

The woman laughed ever so slightly, "For some reason, Garren-san... I find that hard to believe."

Po-ar nodded, "Besides, we can have a nice vacation there when we go to pick them up after this is all over."
