Hebal hesitated jumping into the middle of the band stand then began to dance around again happily "Yep yep yep Satoshi was super awesome back then and she helped me make lots of armor for Itaka's arm. Only problem is he keeps getting it bashed and dented. It's always an early rise when I have to repair" she complained a little pretending to be a ballerina.
Seph nodded passionately kissing Itaka back "He's not as badass as you and you don't even have the eyepatch" she complimented him then gave him a second kiss "Heh pay attention, the little stud just said he got 6 or 7 trying to offer him an extra good time but I am guessing he didn't get lucky" she whispered
Alpha grumbled something under his breath watching Hebal do one of her dances "Sorry about that Hayate, and personally I don't mind seeing your eye socket. I am just surprised at how quickly you got another eyepatch on after that viera red mage stole yours last night" he chuckled glancing over at Seph "I do believe you owe me a coffee."
Amane smiled happy at the fact Zadina was trusting her with his book "oooh let me see I want to learn..... this one" she stated flicking through the pages then randomly came to a stop on a page showing somebody lighting up a room with a ball of light.
Mealane gasped hopping over to the book peeking over Amane's shoulders "That one looks nice and useful, could you teach me how to do that one too" she pleaded sticking a big blue chain of flowers around Zadina's neck "Hehe that totally suits you and it's not overly girly either" she remarked.

Felina almost bit her lip searching through the clutteres shelves in search of an ether "Correction you can't speak posh Agralian. I could always teach you how to speak posh Elvish since you want the wedding to be in my language. You'll need to be able to say your vows and things" she told him cheerfully bending down to grab the ethers from the very bottom shelf.
Satoshi smiled but lowered her head slightly "It was nothing really Mari. Most of those ninjas weren't very high quality, the ice village is one of the weakest villages in the world and maybe the second smallest. Ninja villages are only allied with eachother in times of war against a common enemy. Apart from that we are never working together, always competing" she nodded modestly.
Hayate hesitated using the shop window reflection to sort out his hair which was still in a mess from the night before "Eye patches aren't that badass and I always carry spares. Besides I was more concerned about getting my hat back. Some fencer girl nicked it and started passing it around all her friends and son it almost got lost in the crowd"

Oassu smirked tilting his head to get a good look at Felina's butt as she bent over "Yeah your right about that, am I going to get a little private tuition from you?" he asking bending down beside her.
Gil smiled "So does your village have any really bad enemies or something" he asked scratching his chin "In the mercenary business you don't make that many enemies....maybe rivals but no enemies" he said shaking his head.
Itaka smiled returning Seph's kiss "Sure he did for a group of generally lesbians he must be doing quite well to pull so many" he chuckled "Still I wouldn't think the red mage hat would be a big deal here considering Viera have red mages too" he shrugged.
Mari giggled "Yeah next time you need to be up early give me a call and I'll come keep you company, it's the least I can do after you made me that wonderful armour" she giggled watching as Ivy sprinkled sparks everywhere as Hebal spun changing the colour of everything briefly.
Zadina giggled "You mean this one?" he said holding out his hand creating a flash of light. "Its not that hard to do....it's hard to maintain though but sure we could try doing that one if you like?" he said examining the flower chain around his neck.

Seph rubbed her horn briefly glancing over at Hebal leaping around gracefully "Well viera red mages have slightly different uniforms don't they. Their hats are circulat with 2 holes in for ears and no feathers. Still which of Hebal's friends did you meet and what were they like? As fun as her?"
Alpha grinned but stroked his chin wishing he could have had a shave before they left "I only saw Clover but I bet some of her other friends were there too. Clover seemed to quite like dancing too but she is way louder and definitely ruder than Hebal, was swearing like a sailor after a few drinks" he told Seph scratching his back.
Hebal shook her head skipping over to Mari then dragged her into the bandstand before going back to dancing "Come on and give this a go it's really fun. I wouldn;t want to wake you up so early in the morning because you always look so peaceful in your sleep plus its really really early" she replied tucking her ears in before diving to the floor to do a headspin.
Amane nodded clapping her hands together "Yep I want to be able to do that one so I can read stuff under the covers after bed time. I will practice casting and maintaining the spell all the time, I promise" she pleaded giving him a small salute "I await your command magic master Zadina!"
Malane smiled lightly poking the chain of flower "Don't worry it won't bite. It's just a little something I made for you while I was hiding in the long flowers. I tried to go for ones which wouldn't smell too pretty for you and she really will practice the spell"

Hayate nodded watching the shop door out of the corner of his eye "Yeah their hats are not only rounder but pointier. More like a witches hat than this one" he added patting the top on his hat. Clover wasn't that bad once you got past all the bad language she used. I saw her assassin friend there too but she was gone before I could say hello"
Felina laughed scooping up as many ethers into her hands as she thought was physically possible "Sure I can teach you how to speak elvish, I don't think the others would want to learn so I guess it's private. The alternative is to get Hayate to teach you, he struggled a bit to learn elvish but then again very few of us elves could speak his first language"
Satoshi nodded bending down to make patterns in the snow using her finger "Oh yeah we get pleanty enemies. We have a ninja war every ten years or so with the ninjas from the thunder village. Fortunately we have managed to keep them from invading and last time the losses weren't as high. Theres more of them but they focus more on strength where as our village encourages you to think strategically"

Oassu smiled returning his attention to Felina's face as she stood up before taking some of the ethers from him "I'd rather learn from you, I always wanted a hot teacher I could have a crush on" he said kissing her "Plus if Hayate struggled I figure it'd be better to learn from someone who is properly fluent in it" he shrugged walking over to the counter.
Gil nodded "Thats not to say that strength isn't important sometimes but whats the big deal between your two villages?" he asked watching her trace patterns in the snow "And what are you writing there?" he said
Itaka frowned "Shame we never got to meet them they sound cool enough but Viera never struck me as such party animals" he said with a smile "Though I think it's impossible for someone to be as fun as Hebal." he said watching Hebal headspin before Mari attempted to copy her and ended up falling down.
"Owwie thats hard Hebal I don't know how you do that" she said rubbing her butt where she fell on it "Still I'd happily keep you company and since when did you watch me sleep" she giggled.
Zadina nodded sitting down "Well first you have to channel the white mana inside your body so it's like you have control of it" he said "It feels tingly and cold if you can, I'm not sure if either of you will be able to but...maybe you can feel it" he said hopefully looking at each of them as Zadina began to glow with a tiny white tinge.

Hebal frowned coming out of her head spin and helped Mari up of the ground "I didn't mean copy absolutely everything I did. That ones really hard and takes lots and lots of practice to get right. But you're ok aren't you? Do I need to get you a bandage of a lump of ice" she asked Mari with concern.
Seph smirked at Itaka stroking his chest "What about me then? Can't I be as fun as Hebal at times?" she whispered covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing at Mari's misfortune. She cleared her throat once she had calmed herself down a bit "I never thought of viera as party goers, they always seem kinda antisocial to me"
Alpha nodded following a pair of viera walking past them with his gaze "I thought similar things to you and it surprised me when I heared there was a party on. I guess even the most antisocial and serious of creatures need to let their hair down from time to time just like the rest of us" he concluded.
Melanae grinned almost immeditely glowing the same colour as Zadina "Hehe that was pretty easy so what next? And how do I know if I have control of it or not?" she asked him pleased with her efforts before sitting down to the left of him.
Amane frowned noticing how quickly her peers had managed to start to glow. "Umm.... it doesn't seem to be working for me" she muttered with disappointment but kept trying to do as instructed. It wasn't until 2 minutes later that she clapped her hands excitedly as she too began to glow "look I finally did it! I can do white magic things all ready" she cheered happily.

Felina blushed handing a large cheque over to the viera behind the counter almost in shock at the amount of ethers in front of her "Hehe unlike Hayate your language is common enough for elves to know it but you know it's bad practice for teachers to get too close to students" she teased stuffing the ethers into her bag much to Cid's discomfort who imediately hopped out the bag and onto Oassu's beret.
Satoshi smiled drawing a series of curvy lines forming a character in the snow "Nothing really, what I just wrote says Yuki which means snow. It's not so much that we have a grudge but in comparison to other villages geographically we are fairly close to eachother. We often end up competing for territory and the greedy employers like to make us compete against eachother to either get results faster or save money" she sighed standing up again.
Hayate chuckled letting out a small yawn "Well maybe theres a little bit of Hebal sleeping inside all of those viera. If you want to do headspins you need to kick your feet up as fast as possible Mari" he advised to her noticing her fall.

Oassu smiled leaving into kiss Felina's neck "Yea but it's much more fun this way" he whispered in her ear before patting Cid on his head "I still would like to learn from you"
Gil sighed "Well thats life for you least you fight for something important" he shrugged drawing a little picture of him and Satoshi holding hands in the snow before standing up "And at least you've been ok through the wars."
Mari shook her head "No I'll be fine I just won't try that again" she giggled getting up "Still your a really good dancer if you can do that dancey move thing" she praised her.
Itaka chuckled stroking Seph's back "Of course you are I just didn't want to hurt her feelings....big ears can hear far you know" he said kissing her quietly.
Zadina giggled "Good good it woulda been a really short lesson if none of you could do it but this shows you have potential for white magic." he said making himself glow immensly white before dulling it down "If you can work on it and make yourself brighter you can probably learn more spells, the little flash one is a simple one so you can both learn it but now I want you to focus as much of the aura into your hands if you can" he said.

Hebal grinned proudly doing a spin around Mari "I'm not that good a dancer. That was just something I learned on my travels, a very strange but nice little nu mou showed me it. Don't let one bad experience stop you oh and if you want that coffee theres the free morning drinks trolly" she added to Alpha pointing to a young viera with droopy ears serving drinks to whoever was up.
Seph smirked requesting a tea and a coffee from the trolly lady who shyly brought two cups out to fill "Yeah but with her big ears she probably heared that one too. But never mind I know you don't think I'm boring" she replied pinging Itaka's ear playfully while she waited for her drink "Sorry did you want anything?"
Alpha sighed happily taking a coffee already made from the trolly "Ahh that was needed badly" he grinned wiping his mouth "I hope theres not a bit of Hebal inside all of the viera here. As much as I like her and all one is quite than handful" he chuckled watching Hebal accidentally jump into the side of the band stand.
Melanae patted Amane on the shoulder reassuringly after seeing her struggle with the first part of the task "Don't worry if you find this more difficult ok? Zadina is super smart and I am older so you are still doing a really good job" she encouraged her friend focusing the light into her hands with ease just as instructed. Amane remained silent choosing to close her eyes and concentrate really hard on focusing her aura onto her hands rather than respond to Melanae.

Felina smiled back stroking Cid's ears "Ok then I will teach you most of the elvish I need to know but you will need to ask somone else for help nearer the wedding. You'll have to say some things that by tradition I am not allowed to hear before hand" she warned him stepping back outside the shop "Hmm... it looks like it shall rain later."
Satoshi laughed bending back down then traced a picture of Enkidu and Terrato next to Gil's picture of them "I have had my share of injurues during the war. Broke my arm 3 times broke my legs once each. Broke a few fingers gained half a million black eyes but other than that I only have one scar from the wars so I guess it's not so bad"
Hayate snickered a little watching Hebal bump into the side of the bandstand "I guess your right, a whole village of Hebal's would just be crazy or chaotic or both. Even so nothing would be able to beat the original" he smiled requesting an instant tea from the droopy eared viera.

Oassu frowned looking at the skies "Maybe it'll snow instead hopefully" he sighed putting an arm around Felina "Still we're ready to go now and I'm sure you can teach me plenty" he said happily
Gil frowned "You've certainly had your share of injuries, guess my armour protects me from most of that but where did you get scarred?" he asked nodding his head to Felina and Oassu as the left the shop.
Mari gasped running to help Hebal as she collided with the side of the bandstand "Are you ok Hebally?" she asked pulling her off the side "Come on now we can't have you getting hurt when we're just about to go into battle" she said glancing at the trolley lady "Why does she go around giving free drinks?" she asked.
Itaka raised an eyebrow "This is completely free? I'd like some cold milk if thats alright with you" he asked the woman "And my ears don't ping like elven ones or Viera ears you know" he told her.
Zadina nodded "Your really good at this Melanae, it's a shame you aren't being trained to be a white mage you have potential but don't worry if your struggling Amane, it's unusual for people who are mostly trained in an art to change to a form of magic like this, especially something as unique as summoning" he said watching her hands closely.

The lady's ears picked up slightly knowing that she was being talked about but smiled at Itaka all the same "Umm... yeah the tea and coffee are free. It's just something I do to help people out, this is around the time everyone who was on watch the night before leaves" she mumbled pouring Itakaa glass of milk from one of her jugs.
Seph nodded giving Itaka's ear a second ping "I know that already but I thought it would be fun to see what would happen. I was also getting a little impatient around here but Felina's out now so no worries we can play later" she grinned landing gently on the ground "I think I'll use my legs for a while or my wings will get stuff"
Hebal giggled linking arms with Mari and skipped over to the trolly lady noticing Felina emerge from the shop "Don't worry guys I'm okay! Just a little bump on the head and goooood morning miss May, still serving coffee I see can I have some tea please" she chirped hopping up and down on the spot.
Alpha waved to Felina and Oassu leaning against the side of the shop "Hurry up and drink your drinks so we can get moving again" he instructed putting his cup on the window still "And you couples, stop getting too mushy or you'll go all soft in the forest he teased glancing at Seph and Itaka in particular.
Amane smiled weakly as a small glow emitted from the palms of her hands "Thanks for the encouragement you guys and look I think I did it? Did I do it right?" she asked Zadina eagerly waving her hands frantically in front of him in hope she was doing ok.
Melanae snickered a little at this glancing down at her glowing finger tips "Relax a little Amane I know you want to impress Zadina with your magic but if you over do it you could make something go kaboom! Like an explosion" she teased wiggling her fingers curiously.

Felina hesitated glancing back up at the clouds "Nope it is most definitely going to rain, it's too warm for snow but at least the trees will shelter us from most of it. But seriously Alpha you should relax a little, the more awake we are the better and a free drink is hard to turn down" she tutted at him while she stroked Oassu's back.
Satoshi raised her eyebrow at Gil lifting up her trouser leg showing him a faint 3 inch scar running down the side of her thigh "It's not as bad as it used to be but I got that one from a kunai wound, it got lodged pretty deep into my leg but a nice surgeon offered to hela it up for me since our medical ninja mysteriously disappeared"
Hayate smiled at the lady accepting his tea from her "Thanks Miss May, it's a nice thing of you to do, I bet they could all do with something strong after a long nights work" he told her before downing his tea in one go "So did you and Felina manage to get the stuff you waned" he asked Oassu.

Oassu sighed "Yeah still I'd rather not get wet but oh well what can you do" he said taking a coffee from the tray "Thank you very much" he said to her before returning to her "Come on people we're moving" he told the others while tracing minute circles with this finger on Felina's back glancing at Hayate "Yeah we've got plenty of ether to go if you guys need anything though you should take a quick stop in there." he said jerking his thumb over his shoulder.
Gil turned scarlet "Thats a good scar......a very good scar....in fact thats the best scar I've ever seen" he said swaying slightly mesmerised by Satoshi's beautiful leg.
Itaka smiled taking the milk "Well your very kind for it, thank you," he said downing the milk before placing the glass on the tray. "Your fun when you fly, it's like having my own little smexy fairy that flies around me but I can better cuddle you at this height" he said putting his arms around her glaring at Alpha "We ain't soft" he told the old demon "If thats what your getting at."
Zadina nodded "Thats right, this is just a wee thing though if ever casting spells in future you will find it's easier to do and you can go through the process almost straight away without even forming the aura." he said "Now we're outside so I don't know how much this will work for you guys...." he said turning a page in his book and casting a spell on the page that made the area surrounding them turn pitch black apart from the glow from their hands "Now you have to focus that energy you have in your hands and propel it outwards creating a flash of light." he said doing so briefly lighting up the darkness completely before it took it's normal position.
