Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seph purred slighly louder thinking over all the possibilities while she ate the strawberry. I suppose you could carry my bag which is almost weightless and sneak away loads and loads of food for later if you really want to do something but other than that I don't need or want you to do anything" she smiled picking up her banana she picked up earlier and peeling the skin from it.

Alpha smiled at Jenna resisting the temptation to put his feet up on the table "Hey you have 250K too you know. You could buy a bigger field to grow things on if you wanted. You don't seem all that bad on land and I bet you know how to use a ship cannon. I still think your crazy for liking sailing" he added sticking his tongue out at Barbaros.

Hebal giggled twitching her ears happily "Hey that tickles" she commented playing with Mari's ears in return. "They couldn't stop me from travelling about so don't you worry. So long as I don't break the law they cant exile me though... that means I might not be able to hunt the unicorn with you"

Zadina giggled "He won't be scared of Sophia or Ivy or Enkidu will he?" he asked her as he happily played with the snake.

Gil looked out the window where a boy was claiming to be a knight of some reknown to anyone who would listen. "It was nice, hectic though have you ever had to work in one of those places is it like....a ninja duty or something?" he asked her.

Oassu smiled "Why does he sympathise with thieves? And what did he do to your previous boyfriends?" he chuckled leaning in for the juicy gossip.

Mari sighed "We're not really hunting it, we just need a little blood and Felina can heal it right up later but we can say that Felina just said she wanted to go to Hebal's village and Hebal knew nothing about it I'm sure if we explain it it'll be alright, even better if we find an injured one and heal it we can take the blood first!" she said excitedly giggling as Hebal played with her ears which shivered happily at her touch. "I can stay behind and keep Hebal company if we don't all need to go hunting then or I can go with them and allow Hebal some alone time with one of her old girlfriends" she added winking at her.

Itaka nodded "Maybe not now but I'd bet you can think of something later to make me do, anyway shouldn't we get going, it's half eleven already and we'll want to have left by midday." he said checking the sundial just outside the window.

Jenna shrugged "I already spent it on fine jewellery and the like to get me into the princes palace, that said I did make about 500k pawning his stuff" she cackled rubbing her hands together "I'll need to send 150k off to keep the current field running though" she said before taking the last pancake.

Barbaros frowned "Seeing as your a fire demon who is effectively allergic to deep water I'm gonna disregard that opinion if you don't mind" he chuckled "And yea me parents showed me how to man a cannon properly" he said finishing his coffee.

Satoshi shrugged "Who knows how he will react to all those creatures, I think he will be fine so long as Ivy doesnt try changing his skin colour" she told Zadina placing the rest of her pet into his arms. "Not for more than a week and not since I was still a gennin and straight out of the ninja academy" she explained to Gil nodding her head at Alpha.

Felina giggled a little "Well why do you think he might sympathise with them, because some turn out to be quite decent with a little guidence" she whispered jerking her thumb at Hayate. "Now, as for my ex boyfriends my dad usually married them off before they so much as had a chance to ask me back or sent them away to work in a far away elf forest"

Hayate grinned at the ideas and slowly nodded his head in approval "Whatever the excuse you want to come up with you better tell everyone so they don't mess it up for you" he stated squirming out of Hebal's hug then stood up. "If the worst comes to the worst I'll tell them that the king needs it because he is ill or something"

Seph laughed giving Itaka a gentle whack before getting up from his lap "Don't be slow, the sooner we leave the sooner we can get there and I don't fancy spending the rest of my day travelling and such a small space" she complained pulling Itaka up off his chair and out the door through to the reception

Hebal shrugged getting up once she realised everyone else was starting to move "Well we do just what you guys do exceot in a forest. Some like to read, others draw, some battle, some climb trees, some go to the springs and gossip etc. Anyway I think Alpha is wanting us to hurry up not that I am complaining since it means I can see Amane sooner"

Alpha frowned looking up at the clock above the door "Right guys hurry up since I do not want to be charged for having my ship here an extra day" he called to them trying to get their full attention now. "Hey 10minutes in your ideal place is a lot longer than you could survive in my one and grow grapes. You'll make a fortune off the wine eventually."

Oassu frowned "Thats a little....weird I think that he can just say 'Marry this person' and they have to, I thought there was always a choice in marriage" he shrugged leaving the inn with Felina.

Itaka rolled his eyes "Sorry it was hard to get up with a demon on me" he said sticking his tongue out at her "And yes it does cost a fair bit Hayate, they'd charge us the full price plus the extra cost for looking after the birds as if it was another full day" he sighed "So we gotta go" he said.

Mari giggled "Yeah that sounds awesome, I'd love to battle, maybe try out my new dark knight abilities, and it's such a rare occurance that I get a proper sparring session with someone, I miss the days when I could train with Samanouske" she sighed huffishly folding her arms "Although I always lost I'd get stronger and stronger besides here I might fight opponents I can win against" she said eagerly before waving goodbye to the ginger Viera at the counter "Thats funny, Delphine's not here...I thought she'd want to say goodbye to you" she frowned before stepping outside.

Barbaros rolled his eyes "Well I'm not stupid enough to go into a volcano Alpha so I'm not worried about that and it's unlikely I'll need to but water is a lot more common than fire here so live with it" he yawned "I think I'll need to catch up on some sleep on the ship, wife kept me up last night" he said rubbing his eyes pulling Jenna along who was lost in a daydream about Vinyards.

Gil smiled as Terrato happily curled around Satoshi, "Tell me about your post-graduation training, basic stuff is essential but boring oh...that reminds me" he turned to Zadina "We'll need to give you that sword training I promised you when we get on the ship ok?" he told the boy.

Zadina hopped eagerly "You mean it?! I can finally learn?"

Gil chuckled "Sure why not, Satoshi can observe if she wants, she might learn a few things but I wouldn't worry Ivy is cool but she's scared a little easily, probably because there's not that many threats in her life but she doesn't like Enkidu cause he's a big fiend" he said glancing at Ivy clinging to Mari's ear before turning and whistling causing Enkidu to come running out of the kitchen with a length of sausages in his mouth padding along beside Gil proudly.

Satoshi nodded bending down to pet Enkidu but made sure there was at least a short distence between the fiend and Terrato "Sure I'll observe, it sounds fun to watch. Post graduation ninja life can start as young as 6 so newly graduates start by doing minor jobs for the village like getting cats out of trees or helping out on farms. May sound dull but you learn extra things and work your way up through the missions. When you do a certain number of missions you can then apply for an exam to go up a rank but its tough and out of all the years the exams have gone on the most number of passes in one exam has been 12/590 though there are other promtion routes"

Felina laughed nervously but stopped moving to allow Delphine to make her way to Hebal "Well the problem with being in really high up familiesand particulaly noble ones is its an expectation to participate in an arranged marriage but my dad isn't too strict. He usually just arranges them to keep trouble makers out of his way or under close watch" she reassured him squeezing past the viera to go outside.

Hayate sighed but turned to Delphine and bowed "Thanks ma'am for the place to stay and the free food. Everyone is grateful for it really, even those who didn't stop to say anything" he smiled at her before turning back to Itaka "They must be trying to rip you off because it does not cost that much to feed a couple of birds"

Alpha groaned stretching his arms out as he felt the rays from the sun shine down on him "Don't call me Alf, I don't need a shorter nickname than Alpha. Volcanoes are great places for me but realisitcally there aren't a huge amount I can go inside, so long as a place is over 100 degrees I'm happy. Maybe a furnace" he pondered happily waiting by the steps for the rest of them to come out. "Sure why not I'll show you how to take off and depending on how your training goes I'll show you how to land"

Seph laughed quietly while she leaned over to kiss Itaka's forehead "Don't tell me we are in one of those places where you can start a lawsuit about even the tiniest things because the people who do that are usually just gold diggers. Still I got you to carry my bag in the end" she added sticking her tongue out.

Delphine smiled letting go of Hebal and bowed back "It's not a problem, those rooms weren't going to be in use intil this afternoon anyway. I hate saying good byes like this it's too final. Come back and visit sometime and I'll get mad if I don't here from you" she sulked waving goodbye.

Hebal giggled waving back to Delphine "Don't worry I'll send a letter via mognet sometime and if I am in the area I will make sure to come see you so until then have a fun time and good luck with the business" she chirped grabbing Mari's arm and dragging her out the door "Off we go no time to jump around or Alpha will get annoyed" she sung
