Hebal shook her head standing still looking up at the sky "The unicorns won't be in the caves just yet. The mist hasn't thickened enough for them to feel the need to go to sleep. We can't set up traps outside the cave or they won't come in so lets explore the cave and possibly set on up there" she advised slipping a potion into Mari's things.
Seph smiled climbing through the bushes "What she said about them not being there. But it was pretty bad, they made all the women wear all these really revealing outfits and go around serving drinks and stuff. then if a guy was starting to win more times than the casino would like them to they would ask one of you to go over to try and put them off. Plus we got payed less" she complained.
Alpha smiled looking away once Hebal stopped dancing "There hasn't exactly been much temptation today anyway yesterday was worse. Yesterdays hard work payed off like, the viera in the weapons shop rewarded me with everything I wanted" he smiled feeling the teleport crystals in his pocket.
Amane laughed jumping out the garden throwing her gloves back over "I really like this class, yawi likes to too but I think Yiro's lack of enthusiasm holds her back a little in this class. This fly trap is actually only half grown she added glancing up and down at it's already huge size.

Felina tried hard not to laugh at Oassu's reaction "Maybe it's best for you not to picture it. I broke my leg once when I was climbing trees and swinging through vines but I didn't realise how weak the vine was so it snapped and I fell" she explained to him letting Cid move onto her shoulder.
Satoshi smiled examining Gil's face "You know... this is the first time I have teleprted you somewhere without you feeling unwell afterwards" she told him stroking Terrato "I say we go in and set some traps up and possibly have someone hide outside and block the cave exit once they have gone in"
Hayate shrugged petting Boco's beak "Relax, even with the best spell Oassu has constant around the clock medical care so should be ok. Although if we do end up fighting something other than a unicorn we will have to move Oassu away from the fight despite how unhappy he may be about it"

Oassu sighed stroking Felina's leg "I think your legs look wonderful but you must've had quite a lot of adventures as a little girl then I'll bet" he said.
Gil chuckled "I guess I'm just getting used to it but what kind of traps can we set? And I know we have some big guys here but blocking a herd of unicorn is no easy feat if they are charging out" he said letting Enkidu down.
Jenna chuckled "I just don't want anything bad to happen to him and I hear unicorns can be quite dangerous if they need to" she said letting Boco sniff and explore his new surroundings.
Mari smiled rocking Sophia in her arms "Sure we should look inside the cave I bet the unicorns keep all kindsa cool stuff but we'll need to be quick in case they come home early." she said.
Itaka sighed "That sucks" he said stroking her wing "But I wouldn't think you'd have a problem about the revealing outfit still the low pay would absolutely suck" he said "still it's over anyway you've got a better job adventuring" he patted the sack of diamonds knowingly.
Barbaros groaned "Bad images" he said slapping a hand to his forehead "tell me you at least used protection with her?" he sighed
Zadina giggled "Your really awesome at caring for the forest and stuff then" he said "But this big plant is quite scary" he said backing away slightly.

Seph smiled lightly flapping both of her wings enjoying the sudden breeze "It's not usually a big problem it's just the kind of people who weren't there weren't... very good at self control plus I found a better job working in a jazz club playing the piano. That was pretty cool though not as great as adventuring" she told him with a hug.
Alpha raised his eyebrow at Barbaros unsure what he was getting at "what are you talking about I didn't mean like that. She gave me a nice cash sum and a load of teleport crystals as thanks for me helping out. Too young for what your thinking of" he tutted at Barbaros showing him the crystals.
Hebal scratched her head not having thought that far ahead "Umm... well we could always make a magical barrier to stop them from leaving but to be honest they will probably only run away if things get desperate for them. Even they struggle at night when creatures like yams are most aggressive and the behemoths go berserk. Unicorns don't really keep any stuff that I know of" she added to Mari skipping around her.
Amane laughed gently pulling Zadina off the fence and away from the plant "It only eats the big nasty bugs so theres no need to worry" she reassured him steering him back towards the playground "Would you like to play on something here before we go home?" she offered.

Felina nodded moving Oassu's hand up her leg "See you can feel where it got broken just there. but your right I did have a lot of adventures as a little girl from what I remember but to tell you them all would at least take a day or two and so far you have just heared some of the best and worst bits" she laughed.
Satoshi scratched her chin examining the cave enterance "I suppose I could leave a clone hiding around here and set up some quick sand jutsu when the unicorns have past. If that doesn't work I could always use one of my more special jutsu but you would have to do the catching while I held them" she suggested gesturing for the others to go inside.
Hayate tensed up a little listening to the rustling of the bushes nearby "Nothing bad is going to happen to Oassu, you are forgetting he had Felina to fix him up if he gets hurt... and myself to an extent. Depends what the inury were not that I think stuff will happen" he reassured Jenna realising the rustling was that of smaller animal than a unicorn.

Oassu flushed slightly as his hand moved up her leg "I bet your having better adventures with me and the group" he chuckled moving his hand off her leg "After all theres a lot more we can do together than when you were a kid." he said.
Gil smiled taking a small vial out from his suit "We only need a drop of blood, if you can stop them for a second we'll take care of the rest since they are highly magic resistant so I don't think Seph's time spells will work" he said.
Jenna sighed "Yes I suppose he does but this should be a safe mission anyway, just need a tiny bit of blood then we can move out and all get to bed" she yawned.
Itaka smiled "Jazz club sounds nice but I hope you didn't need to beat up any overly frisky customers" he said hugging Seph back "And I didn't know you could play the piano" he said surprised.
Barbaros sighed with relief "Sorry old man, your behaviour could fool anyone" he chuckled "Still why did you need those things?" he asked.
Zadina sighed "no I'm fine to go if your ok with that I've had fun at your school today" he said "I just hope the sleepover is all ok and everything" he said biting his nails nervously.
Mari giggled dancing with Hebal "Sure but I've never seen any Yans are they super scary and dangerous and I'm sure unicorns go super fast right?" she asked.

Seph smiled gently pulling Itaka forward into the cave by the hand "I am a little rusty at the piano nowerdays but yeah my mum taught me how to play ever since I was like 10. It wasn't something that I particulaly enjoyed doing which is why I like never usually play openly or go spreading it around" she muttered glancing up at Itaka's face "Can you play anything I don't know about?"
Alpha paused picking up tree branches which he then lit to be used as torches for navigating through the cave "I suppose I didn't need them but I wanted to go somewhere that I wouldn't be able to go to normally even with an airship. Then I needed something to get me back to this place so I could hunt this unicorn."
Hebal grinned twirling Mari around "It's a good job you haven't seen Yans before. Unless your a big bad summon like odin it's best to leave them well alone. They are like 10 times stronger than behemoths and can make even bigger meteor showers so casually. If you see one it's best to run" she advised patting Satoshi on the shoulder as she overtook her "Excellent thinking Satoshi super smarty pants"
Amane frowned pulling Zadina's hand away from his mouth "Hey don't bite your nails like that, it's not healthy for you and it will make it harder to open stuff up. Sleepovers are usually fine too so relax" she added redirecting him out the school gates and through a crowd of viera waiting to meet up with their friends and parents after school.

Felina nodded accepting a torch from Alpha seeing him light several bits of wood up "Yeah I have better adventures with you guys but if it weren't for my adventures as a kid I probably wouldn't have the confidence tp even go on these adventures with you. Just consider kid Felina to be an adventurer in training" she joked entering the cave cautiously.
Satoshi glanced around her surroundings smiling to herself "I think I can hold the unicorns down for a little while. One of my restraining jutsus requires lots of shadows like the ones all these trees will give off. Though tell me, whats with the vial you just pulled out?" she asked curiously examining the item.
Hayate yawned casting fire in his hand to add light to the cave "It should be a safe mission though our last safe adventure in Felina's place ended up in a giant battle so you can never be too sure of how safe it is. Plus we gotta capture the unicorn or defeat it if it kicks off" he reminded her rubbing his eye.

Oassu nodded squinting into the cave "Yeah if you hadn't been such a wild child you might never have run away on your big adventure" he chuckled taking her hand as they entered the cave.
Gil raised an eyebrow surprised "This? This is just to store the blood we get, I hear some of the Unicorn are telepathic, maybe we'll be able to strike a deal with one if it's particularly smart" he considered.
Jenna shrugged "Sounds easy, I'll bet Boco could give a Unicorn a run for it's money so me and Barbaros may be able to chase one down if they do run." she said patting Boco.
Itaka chuckled "I can play a little guitar" he said following Seph squinting in the darkness "And don't worry theres nothing wrong with the piano some high society places would be glad for a piano player and I heard there was this guy who could only play one song and he got a job" he said.
Barbaros raised and eyebrow taking a flashlight out of his things and winding it up before eventually a thin beam of light shot out illuminating parts of the cave "So...you've already been? Where is it you couldn't go with an airship?" he asked
Mari smiled taking on of Alpha's torches "I bet I could take one, we had a temple to Odin near our village" she said swiftly slicing through a rock before placing the severed stone neatly on top again "We based some of our techniques on Odin's ancient style" she said
Zadina blushed "Sorry but that still sounds cool" he said wandering through the crowd "Wow theres some really big Viera girls over there" he said looking at a crowd of late-teenage Viera waiting while some nearby gave Zadina a look in curiosity.

Seph laughed playing with Itaka's hands "Only one song? Wow his performences must have got vey boring quite quickly" she remarked taking a torch from Alpha and sliding it into Itaka's hands. I wouldn't particulaly suit the high variety lifestyle and I really don't look that good in the fancy clothes"
Hebal smiled clapping her hands at Mari "That was a good attack but I meant literally being Odin. Yan's are really small and able to evade most attacks that come at them... although now that I think about it there are rumours of the odd friendly one but nobody has seen a friendly yan here for nearly 350 years" she sighed.
Alpha shrugged fighting the temptation to mumble something quietly "Yeah I went not long after I got the crystals but I just had places to go and things to see that are easily too small to fit a group of people our size" he answered juggling with the remaining torches.
Amane groaned pulling Zadina through the crowd of teenage viera discussing things like clothes and people they had crushes on "Some of them will be coming to the end of their schooling, almost young ladies. Still lets make a fast exit out of here I don't want to watch the fight which is about to start oer there" she muttered indicating to a couple of the older ones pushing and shoing eachother about.

Felina shivered a little glad to have some light within the cave "I wouldn't go as far as to say a wild child, just a curious one" she giggled trying to push her dislike of the dark to one side "Falling out of trees was always far more interesting than manners, dancing, sewing and learning to be a good wife anyway" she added watching Alpha juggle with surprise.
Satoshi nodded her head a little disapointed there wasn't anything particulaly special about the vial "I was just curious, thought it might have been some kind of special thing. Although.... I don't know if I would want people and things reading my mind. Plus I don't think I would enjoy reading others minds either"
Hayate frowned suddenly remembering what he Alpha and Barbaros had been up to earlier "Barbaros does still have that really big net inside his cannon and once we catch a unicorn here I am going to have to go back and dismantle all those traps we dug in the forest" he groaned.

Oassu smiled snuggling up to Felina and handing her the torch "Here this'll help with your fear of the dark" he said putting his arm around her hip "And I'm sure you'll be a good wife anyway" he said nuzzling her
Gil chuckled "Sorry to disappoint and I don't know if they can read minds, my point was they may be able to communicate with us properly by speaking to our minds still wouldn't mind reading be great for your ninja missions?" he asked pondering the power while Enkidu sniffed the ground at his feet eventually digging up a 5 gil piece.
Jenna laughed "Sucks to be you, especially since it'll be dark now and all the tougher fiends will be out or all the normal fiends will be crazy from the mist" she said
Itaka chuckled "Actually he was alright, it was some high class place so it just needed to blend in at the back and he only played if people asked him too, didn't do requests" he chuckled stroking Seph's back and tail "And you look great without fancy clothes but I'll bet they wouldn't look that bad on you, nothing could look bad on you" he said quietly in her ear.
Barbaros shrugged "Somewhere private I guess thats fine with me" he said winding up his flashlight so it stayed on "What exactly are we looking for down in this cave anyway? Hebal said there was no treasure here" he asked.
Mari nodded "Odin would be an awesome person to meet and just think one day your little Amane will be able to summon him" she chirped patting Hebal on the shoulder "And I'm sure theres still a friendly Yan somewhere for us to meet" she chuckled.
Zadina frowned at the people "Just hold on a moment" he said whipping out his spellbook and casting sleep on the two Viera causing them to stop bickering and snooze peacefully while standing up "That should be ok for them now" he said pleased before following Amane "I take it you don't like those teen...rangers?" he asked struggling to think of the word.

Seph smiled noticing the ceiling getting lower so she couldn't fly around Itaka "I'll do a request for you sometime but I don't think your too fussed about piano pieces. Plus it's impossible to look great in every possible outfit and for me it's those big fancy toilet roll holder style dresses" she answered leaning against his black arm.
Alpha nodded catching all the torches he had been juggling in one hand "Yeah kinda a private family place that I went to. Still haven't you been paying any attention. This smelly little cave is where all the unicorns go to sleep at night and hide from all the crazy fiends" he reminded Barbaros.
Hebal smiled happily skipping over a deep puddle in front of her "Maybe there is a friendly one somewhere but thats going to have to be on a whole new adventure! Fingers crossed Amane will get to summon him soon because I heared he's more for the advanced summoners"
Amane hesitated looking back at the sleeping teenagers "Just give me a moment" she told him before rushing back to draw glasses onto the faces of the sleepers with a marker "There much better. I don't mind some teen rangers like Melanae but some of them are so rude and mean" she told him rushing forward in case they suddenly woke up

Satoshi bent down petting Enkidu and taking the 5 gil piece from him "It would be useful on a mission level but... on a personal level it would be aweful. I mean sure it could help you find out how to make people feel happy or satisfied with your work but they might be thinking nasty stuff about you"
Felina smiled weakly tightening her grip around the torch "Thanks for that Oassu and I am glad you think so because I thought being yourself would be far more important than learning the correct way to drink tea and the correct way to sit guests around a dinner table and all that rubbish. It was so boring" she giggled nuzzling him back.
Hayate shrugged walking straight through the puddle Hebal skipped over "Meh better me than you, I'll just get a couple of hours sleep then get up when it starts getting lighter and release anything caught in them then. It's just loads of pits with lids designed to stop them climbing in"

Gil patted Enkidu as reward for his find and Enkidu panted happily "Well then don't use it on friends and family or suck it up and enjoy the benefits that would outweigh the sad bits" he said passing the sword to another hand so he could see further over.
Oassu smiled "It is important and if I'm going to be your husband you don't exactly need to worry about ettiquette and stuff that much" he said glancing around the cave.
Jenna nodded "I take it you did this before Gil and Satoshi stumbled upon Yenytai?" she queried "When did you learn about traps?" she asked.
Itaka glanced at Seph on his arm "Nah Piano isn't my thing unless you have a really good song and you never know, to me you'll always look good" he said turning around to kiss Seph.
Barbaros nodded "Sure but they ain't here yet so what are we doing here now?" he asked "Hebal said unicorns don't keep treasure so why are we disturbing their nest." he asked.
Mari nodded "If she learns to summon him then she'll be a really great summoner but it's near my hometown so I'll be able to tell her where the temple is though I don't know how exactly they tame summons" she said
Zadina burst into laughter seeing what Amane did and gave her a light hug when she came back "Awww thats funny and it'll teach them a lesson, I hope you don't get that moody and Melanae is a super nice teen ranger" he said.
