Seph sighed getting up from her seat and took Sophia's bottle from her "Just a moment Sophia, don't get upset I am just going to refil your bottles" she told her pulling a similar bottle out from her bag then went over to the fridge. It wasn't long after that she returned with one brown bottle and one white bottle "Here try this one first it's chocolate milk, if you don't like it I'll give you the normal kind" she grinned handing the brown one over "Yeah Galadroin was nice to us so it wouldn't be wise to upset him and make things bad with the elves again. Don't ask about the bottle in my bag"
Hebal frowned scratching her head with uncertainty "Umm seeq are these weird things that look like extra large things with floppy ears, big mouths, pointy out noses and fins or horns sticking out their heads. I haven't seen one to give you a really good description of them" she blushed awaiting her next instruction.
Alpha chuckled covering his eyes to block the sunshine from hitting them"I know, not that many people try to make a living just of gambling unless they are totally addicted to it. I make the odd bet on the chocobo races but thats usually all the gambling I do on a regular basis"

Felina laughed looking down at her tourust guide which had been lying on the table "Sure it could be a challenge since some places require a lift to get up or a ladder plus you would be up against lots of flying ladies. Just don't get me involved in that chase since running isn't exactly my strong point"
Satoshi paused happy to see her disappointed clone disappear once her massage was over "Don't worry about her, she usually does that when she feels all her goals are met. It is lacking a little inspiration but it would also be very time consuming and even more so since we are adventuring" she explained while the next clone relaxed herself.
Hayate shrugged "The red mages outfits are ok I guess, can live without. But Oassu kinda made the mistake of borrowing a uniform belonging to one of the newly appointed generals so almost got into trouble about that one, not that he ever knew that bit of information. Poor guy missed out on collecting his new feather right before a battle"

Oassu smiled "I won't be dragging you along with me, it'll be a good challenge since security will be upped due to the tournament no doubt should be quite interesting to play with them" he said.
Gil chuckled "She's a little lecherous no? Trying to grab something" he said working on the clone "Well you'll have some time during the tournament why don't you try something there, I plan on spending my free time training mostly anyway" he said working on the clones back.
Jenna chuckled "Didn't you say that would make him a target of sorts right?" she said "Cause enemies can tell how important a soldier is based on his feather, he mighta been lucky Oassu stolen it." she concluded.
Itaka smiled seeing Sophia suckled the bottle gently her eyes widening in enjoyment "Guess she likes it, she's really going through it," he said "But yeah it was great they got peace all sorted out thanks to us" he said.
Mari nodded getting out some cling film "Thats all you need to do really, now we just place it in the fridge to cool overnight or for a few hours" she chuckled "Sorry you picked one that takes some time but how do you know they are ugly if you've never seen one?" she asked covering the mixture.
Barbaros glanced at Alpha "You bet on the chocobo races? How do those odd things work I never quite understood how the betting worked...or why the jockeys gave their mounts such stupid names" he said

Seph grinned somewhat surprised Sophia was enjoying the chocolate milk "Glad she liked it, I was afraid she would do something majorly bad if she didn't. Though I do wonder how the dwarves are getting on now we were gone, wouldn't it be awesome if they made a statue of us or something" she added jokingly while she struck a pose.
Alpha snickered nodding his head "Yeah they do give odd names sometimes but if you fancy going for a horse the odds aren't in favour of the name alone is enough to grab your attention. I bet on one chocobo once just because the chocobos name was 'Not The Slowest'. Other times I guess its for luck. As for the odds they are calculated by the chocobos age, experience, fastest times around the course if done before and how well they can handle certain conditions"
Hebal frowned watching the cooking stuff go into the fridge "aww I thought it would take longer to make than that but I have read about pleanty and seen some pictures of them in Satoshi's big artsy book. Is there any chance we can make something else now?" she asked eagerly flicking back through the cook book.

Felina said nothing for a moment continuing to play with Cid's ears "Sure I guess the security would be upped a fair bit though I have one question... well two. First where do you plan on keeping your takings? Secondly for some reason even Gil were to lose the tournament, would you steal the winning prize?" she asked hi.
Satoshi blushed shuffling back and forth uncomfortably "Uhh yeah she is a little and I apologise for it, my clones kinda have a mind of their own and some of them have certain personality traits in an extreme form. Still I shall need to train to if I am to compete but if I lose it would be quite boring to just sit around all day."
Hayate nodded with a small snicker "Oh he got his outfit back just in time for the battle and managed to get the feather changed, but he was apparently embarrassed to have to go to his promotion ceremony without his uniform. He was fighting at the palace with Elithana I believe so you wouldn't have noticed him"

Oassu paused for a moment thinking steadily on his answer "Well...I guess I would probably try to....I'd hate to go home empty handed, and for someone to beat Gilgamesh they'd probably have to cheat anyway." he said quietly "Besides I can't let others interfere with our list, if we take too long I'll have aged beyond you already" he said squeezing Felina's hand.
Gil chuckled glad the current clone wasn't rolling over "Relax it wasn't that bad I had a little fun, maybe we can be so amourous to each other if we are married but, maybe you should find a summoner and ask them to summon something for you or pay a visit to the temple there, I hear Kunec houses Valefor, the bird Aeon's temple." he said "That might give you inspiration" he shrugged.
Jenna nodded "Well if he was with Elithana then I'm sure he was ok" she said letting out a long sigh "Lets hope nothing like that ever happens again eh?" she said.
Itaka nodded seeing Sophia suckle furiously on the milk "I don't think she's that much of a time bomb besides she loves that stuff, if you like maybe I'll commission a nice statue of us for our home" he chuckled tickling her underarm to make her break position.
Barbaros groaned "Seems like a big waste of time to me, chocobo races look more fun to participate in than to bet on" he said.
Mari giggled pinging Hebal's ears "Easy now, you have to clean up first ok?" she said "But Satoshi has a big artsy book? What else is in it?" she asked.

Seph laughed breaking out of her pose "I don't think a statue in the house would look too good, I always thought that stuff like that was kinda flashy and makes you look like your asking to be robbed. Still I think you would look awesomely good in the form of a solid gold statue" she grinned tickling Itaka back.
Hebal groaned sticking all the used equipment in the sink then filled it up with water and washing up liquid "Aww but the cleaning up is such a boring part. But yeah Satoshi keeps a big black arty book in her room with all sorts of paintings in like there was one of her running across the ceiling in there and a big picture of carbuncle. She wouldnt let me see the back pages" she answeredp playing with the bubbles.
Alpha chuckled shaking his head in disagreement "It may seem like a big waste of time to you but you said it yourself, your not a gambler so are yet to understand the thrill of watching the chocobo you support race to the finish. Plus the earnings are really nice if you pick the right one" he told him cheerfully.

Satoshi scratched her head thinking over the idea "Hmm... I wouldn't call Valefor the most spectacular of all the aeons but sure I guess I could give it a go and some summoners will be able to work with multiple creatures" she smiled relaxing with her book on her chest once she finished the picture.
Felina nodded cheerfully squeezing Oassu's hand back "Yeah thats true and I am happy you would go that far with. Still I doubt Gil is the only legendary sword fighter to have got word of the competiton so there could be quite a challenge plus I don't want to put too much pressure on him" she muttered leaning back "Do you fancy going on deck for a bit? I could do with the fresh air"
Hayate also sighed rubbing his eye "Yeah lets hope something like that wont happen for a long while. Yithra took some heavy damage in the city centre and a lot of the mages were absolutely exhausted after the battle. Even Elorin didn't manage to go about completely unharmed. At least the reinforcements will be greatful to have not been needed"

Gil smiled "Well point is you can probably get a summoner to summon something beside Valefor since other summoners will be questing there you know" he said "For someone as lovely as you I'm sure they'll do it in a second" he said being a little firmer on the clone's back.
Oassu smiled "Sure might be a little cold seeing how high up we are" he said kissing Felina "I don't know Gil is probably the best reknowned swordsman in the land but maybe there will be some others to challenge him" he said.
Jenna raised an eyebrow in surprise "Elorin got hurt? How come? I thought the King would have the highest protection out of everyone on the battlefield" she said.
Itaka chuckled kissing Seph low on the neck "Mm I think you look awesomely good all the time, maybe I'll get you that gold statue of me for your room one time" he chuckled "And people won't dare rob us, we'll set up some solid security systems I did learn a few things about them while in the thieves guild" he said seeing Sophia wave her arms happily.
Mari frowned "Carbuncle? Whats that?" she asked overseeing Hebal and drying the dishes she was finished with "But you've got me curious as to what is in the back pages now that is so secret" she giggled.
Barbaros shrugged "I guess but it's still a pretty rare thing to win right?" he said watching the clouds fly by.

Seph sat up keeping her attention on Sophia's behaviour for a moment later "Well in that case maybe you can have the one of me but I guess from all your days of being a thief you'll be an expret on security or rather how to stop thieves from getting through it right" she grinned giving him a passionate kiss back.
Hebal shrugged playfully throwing some of the bubbles at Mari "Hehe I know what you mean, I'm assuming its just infinished surprise stuff but you never know. I didn't know what carbuncle was either but apparently its a green rabbit summony thing with a ruby on his forhead rumored to have one for a heart too"
Alpha yawned leaning back on the metal floor "Depends on what you bet on. If you always go for the safe one then you win many times but never a huge amount. On the other hand if you bet on a no hoper chocobo all the time you'll win less but when you do you could win a fortune"

Satoshi smiled glancing up at the ceiling "The summons I know of that I would really like to see one day are the phoenix and Fenrir, I think you would like Fenrir since he is like the king of all the lupines or at least Enkidu might like him" she told him
Hayate sighed staring down at his drink "Well for him to get hurt it doesn't mean we all did the best job in the world but he insisted he thought on the front line against some of the airships. He got a couple of burns on his arms but apart from that bahamut shielded him from most of the damage" he reassured her.
Felina nodded standing up "Don't worry about me and the cold, I do have a jacket somewhere if it gets that bad" she told him giving him her hands to help him and Cid up "There are pleanty talented swordsmen who would just love the challenge of taking on him though. People like Itaka only more arrogant that him"

Gil smiled "Well maybe Enkidu will go see him at sometime but I heard Cerberus was the Summon king of Lupines" he said finishing off with the clone "Did you like that?" he asked the clone before glancing over at Satoshi "Your turn Nadira" he said winking at her.
Jenna nodded "Bahumut must be a really powerful summon, we could used him helping out your unit....that said how did your unit hold up in the battle" she asked him
Oassu smiled "I was more worried about me but Itaka is pretty arrogant still I've yet to see Gil's full skill in a fight, his multiple arms help for sure" he chuckled eager to see the combat as he followed Felina to the deck.
Itaka smiled enjoying the kiss until Sophia popped up on Seph's shoulder and kissed his cheek too "Mmm ok.." he said giving Sophia an odd look as she hopped on Seph's shoulder. "Well yeah your right, I know what things are awkward for thieves and what ones leave the thief more vulnerable to detection so don't worry about our stuff" he said.
Mari nodded "Well maybe we should ask her to let us see sometime" she said "But how does his heart work if it's made of ruby? Doesn't make sense to me" she murmered.
Barbaros shrugged "I'd go for the safe bet, seems most likely and you make a profit most of the time right?" he chuckled "Seems like easy money"

Seph frowned pulling away to pat Sophia's head "Hey there, what you doing up on my shoulder all of a sudden?" she wondered placing the tonberry down on her lap "Ok then do I at least get an example? I know that fire extinguishers can be used to find out where all the lasers are but thats about the only thief trick I know."
Hebal shrugged blowing the soap bubbles across the kitchen sink "Yeah we totally should pester her about that but I don't know how his heart works if made of ruby but he is a magical creature and apparently very cute and intelligent from what Satoshi told me. Oh and I finished cleaning up!" she cheered placing the dishes on the draining board.
Alpha tutted getting up to look at the airship meters "You've got to take the odd gamble sometimes you know, especially when you get a good feeling about something. But bear with me a moment, Zadina we need to sort of go up diagonaly, it's a bit of a difficult direction to go in so I'm just gonna make sure you do ok"

Satoshi smiled back dismissing the rest of her clones then moved to where all the previous ones had been "Nah us Cerberus isn't the king, Cerberus is actually a guardian thingy of the gates. He basically stops summons randomly popping out and causing havoc without being summoned in the first place" she lectured him lying down.
Felina sighed smelling the air with delight "It's lovely and breezy up here don't you think. Still the multiple arms alone won't be too much of an advantage to a really skilled warrior I'll bet" she told him skipping up to the railings then looked down "Hehe we are a long way up and the cloud below us looks like a giant frog"
Hayate sighed slumping back "They did ok I guess, generally the survival rate was extremely good but I did get criticised for allowing them to deal too much damage in the forest though truth be told Satoshi's leviathan was the thing that made them annoyed" he whispered glancing around the room.

Gil chuckled putting extra effort into the massage before planting a gentle kiss in the middle of Satoshi's back "Mmm yummy but ok seems odd he can be summoned like that anyway being like a guardian of them" he said working on her back.
Oassu smiled "Yeah but you be careful over there" he said a little worried seeing how close Felina was getting to the railing "Be careful ok, don't drop Cid or fall" he said nervously pulling his jacket tighter around himself.
Jenna nodded "Well considering the place was wrecked anyway I wouldn't worry about Leviathan she was she useful anyway you know" she said.
Itaka frowned looking at Sophia wiggle her tail and pad around in circles on Seph's lap "She's happy, but I'm not going to be telling you anything tricks of the trade, you need to start being a thief you know" he chuckled.
Mari smiled "Sure she sounds nice and cute we'll need to see her one day still good job on the dishes now your all set for truffles later" she said patting her ears before sitting on the couch.
Barbaros nodded "I've heard tales of men who always trusted those good feelings, they end up poor and penniless and looking to join thieves guilds" he countered as Zadina nodded trying to follow Alpha's instructions.
