Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gil smiled "I'm sure I'm fine in the pictures, those ones will be valuable, the originals at least, they are the first proper shots of me without my armour on" he chuckled "Still good riddance I won't be going back there anytime soon" he said shaking his head and having some broth.

Mari frowned "It seems silly to have trained in something you can't do but keep at it! Perseverence pays off!" she reassured Lily thinking back to how much she wanted to be a samurai and smiling "But nice names for the Chocobo's" she told Hebal.

Itaka smiled as they turned and left the pen "You think she won't fly away?" he asked Seph noticing Chobi looking longingly after Seph as she left "I hope not, it make it easier to train but lets go have some fun and like I said earlier" he chuckled indicating Seph's body "You don't exactly need to dress up when going out"

Zadina blushed "Well...I...I suppose I could have that if I wanted but I've never thought about it..." he said scratching his chin "But think nothing of it, I haven't claimed any of that, though I probably could claim it easily and have a nice big castle to settle down in" he giggled putting his hand under Ardie's jaw and closing it "I'm just a normal boy right now ok?" he said brightly.

Satoshi frowned a little realising she still had soup down her face and a little on her clothes "We can probably return to Tricasia once everyone has got over that thing and it would have been just as bad in other cities. But really was it the first time you were out and about in public without your armor on" she asked laughing at Lily's posing "Good for you keeping up the assassin job, you guys can get such a bad reputation even if you do often refuse bad clients"

Hayate smiled glancing over at Lily "Well that was a nice present to give to miss Xyleena but why did she need to let you use loads of training weapos when you have a wespons shop just down the street. I also heared if you just walk out of a village without permission they tell you not to come back"

Seph grinned kicking over a pile of leaves "At the worst, Chobi will probably fly around trying to follow us but I don't think that will happed but unless I get completely covered in mud or the remains of fiends I don't see the reason for having another bath, smell isn't a big thing for me" she laughed.

Lily snickered moving out of her pose and patting Mari on the head "heh heh so Hebal has been telling me but I like the enthusiasm and the encouragement so thanks" she told her sighing as another group of viera entered for the soup "I've got to be here all day so theres no need to stick around on my account if you want to have fun. I can't get the weapons here because there are almost no katanas around"

Hebal giggled pulling both Mari and Hayate into a hug "Yeah they can try to exile you if you leave the village but thats only in extreme circumstances or if you break the law they will tell you not to return or they'll kill you" she frowned serving a portion of soup for the first new visitor "Oh don't worry about it we have fun with you here"

Amane nodded putting a napkin on the ground them tipped all the sweets onto it "We got all kinds of things making our plan a total success. We have apple drops, chocolate squirrels, candy wands, sugar paper and all your other favourite goodies" she cheered beginning to divide the sweets up into four piles.

Ardie grinned happily scooping up her pile of sweets and immediately stuffed her face with a big chocolate squirrel "Mmm good food but I can't believe you actually got away with disguising yourself as a grown up, wasn't the legs a bit of a problem?" she asked pushing Zadina's pile towards him "You need to eat up and try some of the local sweeties"

Gil shook his head "No I need my armour, it's as much a part of me as.....your kunai are a part of you, its a tool essentially nessecary in my job." he said dipping some bread in his broth "My armour is resistant to all mana forces contains all my weapons and items it's extremely durable" he said shaking his head "Travelling on your own you need something like this, Enkidu can account for a lot of protection" he said scratching the dogs ears "Against some forms of magic no warrior can defend against and without someone to heal me I need the boost." he concluded

Itaka smiled "Sure it's not for you but the restaurant might not take too kindly to it" he chuckled putting an arm around Seph and stroking her wing. "Still just take care not to get too messy today then" he said.

Mari scratched her ears in thought "Well I could lend you my old katana, it's nothing special but I don't use it anymore and at least it would give you a weapon to use!" she said enthusiastically before Mari hugged her "Ah! Ummm ok hehe I'm having fun here anyway and Gil and Satoshi are still enjoying their soup" she said giving Hebal a nice hug in return.

Zadina giggled "We had a super long cloak that covered my feet, now you can do this plan with Amane!" he said to Ardie happily before picking up a chocolate squirrel and nibbling on it's tail.

Satoshi smirked tapping what armor Gil had on "Ok if you say so but kunai aren't actually all that great. Shurikens are more accurate and can so more damage but I am more of a just jutsu kind of ninja. But I never thought your armor was that good, there has to be some sort of catch" she pondered lightly pinging Enkidu's tail.

Hayate chuckled forming a thick black rain cloud above the other viera's head "I wasn't being that serious but since it bothers you so much then fine" he smirked watching the viera spring to life glanging around to see what had soaked her "Morning miss" he greeted her making sure the cloud was no longer in sight.

Seph glanced around searching for the fiend in question but only managed to catch a glimpse of it before it went behind a tree "Does that mean if I were to just lie down and roll around in the mud I would still look good?" she smirked creeping up on the wendigo then pounced on it and stabbed it in the back before it could respond "Not so hard with a little stealth" she boasted unaware a pair of other wendigos were watching her angrily.

Lily glared at the woken viera angrily as she stormed out of the room leaving her apron behind "Apparently the lazy bum will either not be doing this job again or will hate me for life. Meh she's stuck up and boring anyway" she shrugged pouring out 6 bowls of soup at once "If it was a gift from your brother then you should definitely keep it" she chirped to Mari.

Hebal frowned stealing one of the vegteble soup and began to pick out all the carrots to eat "You have a brother? How come you never told us about him or introduced him to us? What was he like? But you were really good at telling that viera off like that, you should join the army or be a teacher someday"

Ardie smiled nibbling through a rainbow coloured sugar mouce "Melanae is the other member of our trio but she is home schooled everyday because her mummy and daddy believe that school isn't productive enough. We know her from when we used to be in the junior forest scouts. Thats like a club for young girls wanting to learn camping and things" she explained.

Amane nodded pulling the stick out of the lollypop "Yep, they give Melanae lots of private tutoring everyday of the week and she hates it. She's is really really smart but her silly family are forcing her to take up the family job class of elementalist with her sister which is kinda a shame since she only wants to be a white mage and help people"

Mari waved a hand dismissively "I mean my adopted brother you know him, Samanouske?" she said attempting to stir a memory or two "But I don't want to join the army or become a boring teacher, I'd much rather continue my samurai way" she said yawning realising she was low on energy and drunk a hi-potion from her bag before donning the apron that had been left behind "I think I'll give this a whirl" she said pulling an assortment of spices and herbs from her bag and distributing some amongst the soup pots "Here we go...just make this a little nicer" she said as the soups began to smell awesome.

Gil smiled "The fiends I fought to gain this armour and the dangers I faced aren't catch enough?" he chuckled "It isn't totally impervious to mana anyway just resistant I said" he said wiping it away "It's heavy if thats what your getting at" he laughed.

Itaka smiled drawing his sword and stepping in between Seph and the other two Wendigo "Well if you did that I'd probably follow you down and have some fun with you" he said batting away a Wendigo's claw that swung at him before jumping in, spinning around and slicing the Wendigo sending it flying back. The other Wendigo raised its hands intent on pounding Itaka into the ground but Itaka raised his arm and unleashed a flew blasts of dark energy into it's face allowing him to roll away before the Wendigo's claws smashed into the ground.

Zadina paused chewing on a candy wand before swallowing it "I didn't know Viera parents stayed together, still why doesn't she just ignore them and become a white mage anyway, they already have an elementalist in the family anyway" he said

Satoshi shrugged pulling Terrato away from the soup who appeared to be almost ready to dive into it "It wasn't really what I meant but it will do. Should we try some of Mari's soup then head towards the spa" she suggested grabbing a second bowl and spoon. "Yeah I kinda assumed the same thing as Hebal about Samanouske"

Hayate scratched his head thinking over the name Mari had just given him "Hmm I think I remember him vaguely. Was one of the samurai right?" he asked seeking confirmation "If we are thinking of the same person he seemed a nice bloke but would be upset if you gave away a family sword. Maybe something to do with honor" he pointed out
