Hayate sighed catching the end of Felina's sentence while listening into Alpha and Xyleena's conversation "Your sister better not bring one of her bulky snobby personal soldiers. I don't think I would be able to last a whole year with the likes of a certain monk we both know of" he quietly complained.
Felina laughed at Hayate's sulking allowing Cid to come out of the bag and eat "I know I know don't worry. I won't allow her to send me somebody to oversee us. It would probably be just her way of keeping an eye on us. Next time we get stuck we shall ask Kimino, as nice as Hikari was to bring us stuff I don't think it will be wise to try and call her out" she told Oassu ptting his shoulder.
Satoshi stepped back a little from Gil's lower arm a little uncomfortable with its actions "Umm... sure I'll get onto doing that when I am on the airship. But here... these are a couple of dresses I made back in the village" she added pulling out the pictures from her bag of her modelling a couple of dresses.

Oassu raised an eyebrow "Yeah Kimino was helpful before he'll probably have some good information for us though he's really done enough already" he said.
Jenna yawned "You shouldn't spy on them you know but who's this guy who bothers you so much?" she asked.
Gil sighed as Satoshi moved away "Whats the matter?" he asked uncertain as to why she was moving away before taking her pictures and examining her "Wow these are great and umm...you make a nice model" he said blushing a little "I especially like this slim blue one and the peacock outfit" he said.
Itaka chuckled "Well least the one he has left is wising up, I don't think the circus is a career you want to do your whole life but meh I'm sure some people have those aspirations" he said taking the toast and eating it before taking another slice and buttering it.
Mari sighed "They need to be careful with Behemoths, they summon meteors when they die so they can't kill one near the village otherwise it might be hit by a meteor" she said concerned.
Zadina nodded happily "I'll gladly teach you Ardie once I've learned it all but it's a shame mognet is slow still I suppose you have to pass it onto the post office who pass it to mognet, Miss Satoshi has a whistle that can summon a moogle, we can go and I can introduce you to some of them if they are awake now" he told the girls.

Hebal smiled patting Mari's shoulder and turning her round the corner "Don't worry Mari, we use loads of tranquilisers and sleeping spells and objects which is always plan A when dealing with fiends. Most of these fiends just come here and get lost so we put them to sleep and take them back to the forest like what they were doing there. Although... if the population of one species is getting dangeroously high we have to kill them"
Seph laughed stroking her chin "Actually she has a great time touring all over with the circus, been to all the sky cities recently. She's going to try and be an actress next but I don't know if thats a life career either" she added opening up her bag searching round until eventually finding a photograph to show that had been taken a few years ago "This was taken not too long ago, me obviously being on the left, psy on the right and Mu in the middle wearing one of her costumes"
Amane smiled shaking her head "It's not that, we do have the mognet but they often get lost in the forest and spend a few days wandering through there to reach the village unless a viera is having a stroll... the grown ups really need to start putting sign posts up"
Ardie laughed happy with Zadina's answer "They never will put sign posts up silly. They don't want people to get to the forest without viera permission or guidence and all trading is done on the forest edge" she pointed out holding her arms out pretending to be holding a steering wheel "You better teach me and if you have a spare moogle whistle or flute feel free to give it us"

Felina nodded eventually going against what her head was telling her about how unealthy it would be to eat bacon and eggs and grabbed an unclaimed plate "Yeah Kimino has been awesome but I am sure we can get a lot of the information without him if we put our heads together. I don't want to rely on too many people" she muttered finely chopping her bacon up.
Hayate shuddered thinking about the person in question "The guys name is Veiss. He's extremely cocky and annoyingly feminine, unfortuantely he's always everywhere you don't want him to be practically being Elithana's right hand man. Then again the problem in general with Elithana's unit is that they are an elite unit and they know it all to well" he rambled on
Satoshi walked somewhat faster trying to keep up with Mari and Hebal "nothings the matter... just that a bee stung me" she muttered glancing at the photo of her in the peacock inspired dress "You can keep those if you want, I have more than one copy of them" she offered pulling him forward to by the arm that grabbed her making sure it wouldn't try anything again.

Oassu nodded "Yeah but we're doing fine on our own besides there's no rules saying we can't get our contact's help with information" he chuckled waving to Barbaros as he sat down.
Jenna paused for a moment stirring her porridge "Sure people like that are annoying but surely they are just grunts compared to an officer like you, you could take em on right?" she asked
Gil smiled pocketing the pictures "I'll put one in my wallet still this is some really nice work do you have any of your dresses in shops or anything?" he asked eagerly.
Itaka chuckled "Nice photo there, still at least she's having fun, do all you demons like to travel so much?" he asked "And the acting industry sounds a little dull to me, I could never sit through those serious dramas." he groaned.
Mari nodded "Thats good but it's fair enough you need to kill them some time, just so long as they keep the village safe, we can help guard next time we're in maybe I can get you a date with that cute coffee Viera who gives out drinks" she giggled nudging Hebal playfully.
Zadina giggled "I'm afraid I gotta agree with Ardie, you Viera aren't exactly inviting people in but oh well I'm here and I'm having fun but I'm sorry I don't have another whistle, Mr Itaka must've done something really special to earn something that summons a moogle instantly" he said thinking about the value of the flute.

Seph shrugged taking a last glance at the photograph before putting it away again "She could always go in a comedy if she wanted. She's an ok singer so maybe a musical too. Not all demons like to travel around, it's just that staying in one place for hundreds of years can get extremely boring" she chuckled playfully poking his forehead.
Hebal giggled taking a moment to process what Mari was saying "Nah I don't think she is really my type or I as her type. She's just so quiet and shy and I am... well hyper and bouncy and need someone who can keep up with me" she shrugged picking Mari up and spun her around in the air once "You on the other hand might have a date with her think of all the coffee you can have"
Ardie rubbed her head somewhat confused "I-taka? But I thought you said it was Satoshi who had the flutey whistle thing? Not that I even know who they are.... no wait the really big hairy dude I saw last night was Itaka right? Whats Satoshi like" she questionned him wanting to know more.
Amane sighed folding her arms "Aww but why do we have to be so antisocial, you other people are fabulous and have a wonderful world outside the forest" she complained almost jumping as Melanae came out the bathroom "Never mind about the whistle, maybe he saved them all from a great peril"

Hayate shook his head spreading some jam onto his toast "Nope whe I meant elites, I means all of them were officer class and I don't think I could beat a lot of them. I'm just a red mage thats good with knives and bows. I could probably beat them in a battle that wasn't in an arena since a lot of them lack intelligence" he pondered taking a bite form his food.
Satoshi sighed shaking her head at Gil "Nah at the moment those dresses are just sitting in the back of my wardrobe piling dust. I dunno what it is about my clothes but people just don't seem to want to pay good money for them. I mean a couple sold back home but to be honest I think that was only because 100% of the money was going to a charity" she admitted.
Felina nodded cheerfully waving to Barbaros as well "Nope they didn't say that and help is allowed since we have these guys. We'll get all the items eventually and the more people who want to help the better since I love going around places making loads of friends as we go" she sighed happily offering Oassu some bacon

Jenna chuckled "Wow must be quite good because I've seen you fight but I'd think that an officer would need a certain degree of intelligence, you need to work on your skills" she said.
Gil sighed "Well maybe I could try and help, once we get a moment to spare we can sit down and work on a proper advertising campaign for you, I'm sure I could find someone who could help" he said saddened by Satoshi's story.
Oassu smiled "I figured but not everyone we'll meet will be a friend, theres a lot of dangerous folks out there, I wouldn't be surprised if some showed up at the battle tournament." he shrugged.
Itaka nodded whispering "I guess I see what you mean" he said before poking Seph back "Still sure she could, maybe we'll get to meet Alpha's kids sometime, he's got an airship it's not like he can't go see them" he said.
Mari blushed "I don't know about that but coffee is good for my energy problems I've been having still remember we need to go and see Milly and Yenytai before we go" she said.
Zadina blushed "Well Miss Satoshi has....big....umm chest parts" he mumbled uncertain of the proper word "She gives massively squishy hugs and it makes me all shy and embaressed apparently it makes her more attractive to humans so....you'll see her later anyway but Mr Itaka gave Satoshi the whistle" he explained.

Hebal nodded giving Mari a salute "Don't worry I remembered I would introduce Yenytai to Amane and Milly too but it sounds like you are all set for her. If only you liked girls you could have a never ending energy boost from coffee" she reased pretending to grab her nose and throw it at her mums house which was coming up.
Seph nodded focusing the majority of her attention on playing with Itaka's hair "Yeah he could go visit them or they could come and visit us. What would you think of going and meeting his kids sometime? They are like part of a second family to me" she asked him reaching out for the bunch of cherries on the table
Melanae laughed sitting down and shaking some water from her ears "It sounds to me like you might like Satoshi just a little bit for you to go all embarrassed. I bet you'll know what I mean when your older" she concluded cheerfully giggling at Ardie's look of disapproval.
Amane smiled nodding her head slowly "Oh yeah Satoshi is a really pretty lady who Gilgamesh is lucky to be with. Though I wonder why Itaka gave Satoshi the whistle... are they really close friends. Still you have never told us what sort of job classes your friends do and you still owe us at least one more story of your travels before you go"

Satoshi smiled patting Gil's arm "Hey don't be down about it, maybe one day all this clothes making will pay off. I don't want to focus everything on making and selling clothes unless I can work in my own time and place because I still want to travel around with these guys" she reassured him happy to see they were almost at Xyleena's "Still a little help wouldn't be turned down"
Felina blushed gathering a big lump of bacon onto her fork "Yeah I guess your right about bad people being there but I would like to think theres a bit of good in everyone. I like making friends with interesting people... boring people too I'll happily talk to anyone who doesn't get intimidated by me"
Hayate shrugged unable to answer for a moment while his mouth was full "Theres common sense and theres intelligence. The latter is not as important for officers that have no say in strategies. Theres not really much else for me to do with red mage skills plus my accuracy with a bow is around 90%"

Gil smiled "Well it's just a matter of finding the right market why don't we drop off a few of your dresses in every town we go to, that way we can go travelling and the shops can sell your dresses" he said happily.
Oassu smiled patting Felina "Forgive me Felina but I wouldn't exactly call you intimidating, your warm and welcoming" he said finishing his bacon after struggling to get the last rasher on his fork "Still shady characters are a given at any high profile event still only a few will be able to afford airship tickets to Kunec." he said.
Jenna gulped own her porridge "Well there's got to be something to make you more combat effective, need to increase your power beyond theirs, maybe some physical training, ask Barbaros to wrestle with you some time, that'd build up your muscles" she said poking his thin arms "And brawling skills are useful in so many places" she shrugged.
Mari blushed "Well I do like girls, just not in the same way you Viera do," she said "But coffee girl was very nice sure still we should go take Amane to see her soon before she needs school" she said.
Itaka nodded finishing his mouthful "Mmm are those cherries?" he said pointing to the ones Seph was reaching for "I LOVE cherries" he chuckled taking a handful and eating some "Still sure we can meet them, I'd be surprised if Alpha isn't wanting to go see them sometime"
"Well....sure I guess I can tell you a little more" he said sitting down on the bed "No Itaka and Satoshi aren't really close, she just loves moogles and he wasn't using it" he shrugged "But Sir Gil is a legendary hero we know, Satoshi and Mr Oassu are Ninja though Satoshi is more experienced, Itaka is a warrior, Commander Hayate is a Red mage, Cap'n Alpha is a fire demon, Seph is also a warrior but is a good time mage as well, Mr Barbaros is a cannoneer and Lady Jenna is a chocobo Knight" he said trying to count them all off with his fingers "Your mummy is a dragoon and Miss Mari is a Samurai but I think I heard something about her being a Dark Knight but I don't know what that one is" he said trying to think who he was missing "Oh and my cousin Princess Felina is a white mage!" he added triumphantly.

Seph laughed quietly getting a handful for herself "Yep those are cherries but I think Alpha has accepted his kids are grown ups now and don't need their daddy looking out for them the whole time. Besides he does visit his kids from time to time. He saw Mu before rejoining us lot you know" she explained throwing a cherry up in the air and catching it in her mouth.
Hebal nodded jumping over the garden fence to unlock the gate for the others "This way this way and we will meet everyone soonish don't you worry. I could do with a nice cofee around now since last night was just so noisy" she complained skipping up the garden jumping into the pond on her way.
Ardie leaned forward listening eagerly to Zadina's information "Oooh I am surprised you haven't got anyone with more similar abilities, you've got a real mix of people though you need to pick up a spellblade sometime to add to your party, and an elementalist and summoner"
Melanae's eyes lit up hearing Zadina's cousin was a white mage "Do you think for cousin would be able to give me some white mage tips another time? A dark knight is someone who uses really dark sword abilities. Strong ones but at the same time it drains the energy of the user.
Amane nodded her head listening quietly to Zadina's words with Ardie "So who are your best pals on the airship? If you had hours on the airship travelling who apart from your cousin would you be most likely to talk to" she wondered grinning as the smell of bacon from downstairs filled the room.

Satoshi paused thinking things over in her head "Well... if I could get one big store or one with a big reputation then I could be set for life. Independent stores are ok and that but small ones don't bring in a lot of money and the paper work can be long. I am really bad at paperwork and form filling" she muttered allowing Gil to get through the gate first.
Felina laughed patting Oassu back "Your forgetting how intimidating the people who keep me company can be" she whispered indicating to Seph, Itaka, Barbaros and Alpha. But you know airship prices are starting to come down a fair bit since more have been built in the past few years. Rides can only cost 5000 gil now"
Hayate shuddered briefly glancing over at Barbaros "Umm... I think I'll pass on wrestling thanks. I do not fancy breaking my arms and legs and whatever else from it. Besides I'm a mage and not a particulaly bulky person" he answered reaching for an egg.

Gil chuckled whipping out several pens "Fortunately I'm pretty good at paper work I can give you a hand but you need to get them out there I'm sure others will see how beautiful these dresses are" he said.
Oassu shuffled about uncomfortably "Actually there's quite a lot of people who still can't afford that, back at the guild we took on really poor thieves who would be beggars on the street if they didn't have a place to work, kinda makes me worry for them now the guild has been shut down" he said.
Jenna chuckled "Relax if you just want a practice he'll go easy on you I'm sure but whatever it's your choice you should at least focus on either magic or strength, you can't sit on the fence all the time" she shrugged adding a drop of jam to her porridge.
Itaka nodded "Well thats good of him but still guess they'd be cool to meet, most demon's I've encountered so far seem nice" he said playing with Seph's tail now he'd finished his meal "But theres plenty far worse ones out there" he said grimacing.
Mari giggled "We can get a nice coffee once we're their but you should get out of the pond you'll be scaring the fishies" she said noting the curious flowers grown on one section of the hedge.
Zadina giggled "You mean like yourselves?" he said in response to Ardie "Well you've got your own quest to do need to leave the village first before you can form a party" he said poking Ardies nose "And sure I think Felina would have some tips but if Mari is a dark knight I think there's a spell I could teach her" he said pondering it before turning towards the smells "Well....I'd probably hang about with Cap'n Alpha learning about the ship or Sir Gil and Miss Satoshi in a sword lesson but just for chatter I quite like talking to your Mummy and Miss Mari, they are super fun to hang out with" he said happily skipping slightly with happiness.

Seph chuckled swishing her tail back and forth "Thats because they assessed a lot of the demons who managed to stay on in this place on their threat levels. Most of the demons you see around here were rated either zero or no threat which is why a lot seem nice... at least the registered ones" she grinned.
Hebal frowned jumping out the pond quicjly "Oh I am sorry all you little fishies, I only wanted to play and say hi and not scare you like that" she apologised also noticing the hedge. "Hmm thats funny I wonder why mum only planted the flowers on that little bit but never mind they are my favourite colour at least" she shrugged cheerfully.
Amane grinned rounding everyone up in her arms suddenly feeling hungry "It's breakfast time everyone, I want some of that bacon" she told them pulling them out the room and down the landing with all her strength "Hehe it's really nice that you can all travel around and it's really good everyone gets along well with eachother.
Ardie took a deep breath after having the wind sucked out of her by Amane "Yeah I guess like us, maybe when we are a little older we can assist your parts or if you leave them to come with us we can always team up and stuff"
Melanae smiled shaking herself free from her friends grip and skipped alongside her "I guess I am a little hungry but you are a lucky boy Zadina. Oh and what sort of spell do you know that you think might be useful to that Mari girl?" she asked almost tripping on the stairs.
