The gria rolled her eyes at Itaka showing them to one of the cabins "If you are not happy with the facilities then you need to speak to one of the officials on the site, the cabins are a lot more luxurious than they look from the outside. If the officials fail to solve any problems you need to see me at my office which is that one with the walls painted red. However if the legendary Gilgamesh is to appear he will get the same treatment from us as I am giving to you. No special treatment" she recited with a sigh handing Seph the key.
Seph snickered turning the key into the handle and pulled the door open "Get you telling everyone Gilgamesh was coming. I don't know what you were getting at but I think you offended that gria you bad guy" she chuckled once the gria had gone "OOh this place is actually quite nice in side" she commented pushing the 4 poster beds together.
Alpha raised his eyebrow at Barbaros jumping onto the esculator "So Itaka was more of a figurehead than a leader guy? Still I bet your glad to have your partner in crime back just like old times. Also it really is an achievment since most gria stay in the sky cities and expect other people to go to them for company.
Hebal giggled picking Zadina up to ruffle his hair then placed him onto her shoulders "Sure your cutesy, all kids are but I did just say you are an awesomely strong mage so don't be too offended by what I said" she told him picking Mari up to give her a quick spin around "Sure your a cutesy pretty lady like Sophia but first you need to make tonberries friendlier to boost their street cred.

Felina held her hand out to take Oassu's "Where did the sudden gust of wind come from? Is it because we are so high up" she pondered pulling Oassu gently along deciding against dispelling her floating effect "Theres gotta be more luxury hotels with stables but if we try going to an inn some of the smaller ones may let you take Boco in with you " she said positively distracted by the music and beginning to dance.
Satoshi smiled removing her hands once the wind settled down again "I guess you were right about the high winds Gil, but if it keeps being a problem I'll change clothes. I am guessing the gria kids dont have to be this high up or have pleanty help from their mothers. Could always ask one" she replied bending over to rub Enkidu's belly "Anybody want to buy stuff to remember the trip?" she asked noticing a long line of tourist shops.
Hayate paused sitting down on the esculator realising they would be riding it for at least a few minutes "The gria need to come down eventually for trading purposes but to be honest I don't think Itaka currently has any intention of doing anything guild related right now. So what about you Barbaros, are you going to be sticking around with Itaka for a while until he does feel like taking it up again and beats Alex up?"

Oassu nodded "I will be" he said holding onto Felina so she didn't blow away chuckling as she danced quietly "You didn't strike me as the dancing in the street type" he said while Jenna rolled her eyes.
Gil chuckled "Don't worry we're not that high up" he said looking at the levels above them "Just an unlucky draft but I think the answer to your question is over there" he said pointing to a mummy Gria escorting her toddler along the air currents.
Barbaros shrugged "Sure the guild's closed down for now anyway I see no reason to leave just yet back home isn't exactly friendly now what with Alex ruling and all." he said.
Itaka chuckled "Just wanting a little revenge I'd be hoping they'd harass and get paparazzi on Gil for helping enslave us but we're ok now and this is quite nice" he said lieing down on the bed.
Zadina gasped seeing all the stalls "Miss Hebal Miss Hebal can we go buy some goodies and things" he asked pointing to the stalls.
Mari pondered how to do this "Hmmm seems hard, I could get enough of them to do a musical I suppose" she said "And you'd get the lead role little one" she added to Sophia.

Seph yawned bouncing slightly on the bed "This is actually a lot springier than I thought it would be too. Still you are forgetting that we did actually agree to that little bet" she grinned hopping off the bed to check the bathroom out "Geez they went all out, this bathroom has a jaccuzi and everything" she grinned flying back into the room to give Chobi a cuddle. We'll buy you some nice blankets to sleep on later ok girl"
Hebal nodded skipping to the stalls then put Zadina back on the ground to browse "This was the store you wanted to go to right?" she checked examining a stuffed toy gria dressed up as a geomancer "I don't think you should make them do a mucial, make them do a rock band or something playing drums and guitars and stuff like that, Sophia could be a lead singer" she giggled imagining a tonberry playing the drums.
Alpha frowned tapping his foot impatiently "So long as your family are safe and sound I don't mind having you around for a whole, your pretty useful in your own way and we have had had worse company on our travels" he smiled blowing smoke rings into the air. "You should set your guild back up one day when we've got rid of Alex"

Felina blushed coming to a stop and shook the dancing feeling off "Umm... I'm not really into dancing much but for some strange reason as soon as I heared the music I kind just got this urge to dance to it" she muttered dispelling the floating effect "Anyway lets just go to find a hotel" she said watching the busker suspiciously.
Satoshi smiled watching the toddler attempt to fly solo for a bit before being grabbed by her mum as another not as strong gust came past "Aww well isn't that a cute little scene and those little wings are adorable" she laughed checking out all the stores "Hmm most of this stuff looks like cheaply made touristy rubbish" she whispered in Gil's ear.
Hayate yawned watching the smoke rings float up through the air then sent a series of sparks through the centre of them "No need to tell him what to do but fair enough I guess. Ideally I would like to make an early retirement and spend the rest of my days in a nice snowy place but thats not gonna happen for a long while. Just fingers crossed Alex gets sorted out sooner rather than later... do you think people follow him cause they like him or fear him?" he asked scrathing his head.

Oassu chuckled "I don't know whats up but I know you have some nice moves and a great booty shake" he whispered the last part "But I think I see a nice B+B up ahead if you wanna check there." he said.
Gil nodded "I get that but let Zadina enjoy it, he's got enough money to probably buy these people out" he whispered back smiling as the toddler Gria clung to her mummy throughout the gust.
Barbaros shrugged "From what I recall most people don't care who the politicians are besides the people don't have a choice he's the only candidate but he doesn't terrorise the city I imagine they are a little peeved after losing that battle though." he said
Itaka nodded "I guess but really a jacuzzi?" he said hopping out of the bed to go see "Wow thats pretty awesome" he said with a smiled as he came back in and hugged Seph "We'll need to try it out later" he said kissing her wings and neck.
Zadina giggled picking up a Gria keychain and a few bits and bobs "Yeah this was the place, is there anything here you thing Amane would really like?" he asked.
Mari smiled "I guess I could do that, I need to get more though, give Sophia here a little family to play with" she said frowning as Ivy tugged on her hair so she didn't get blown away.

Seph smiled kissing Itaka back but was soon separated from him by an attention seeking Chobi not entirely thrilled about her current sleeping arrangements "Yeah it would be pretty awesome to try out later but what now? Should we go and explore the rest of the camp facilities" she suggested climbing onto Chobi and handing Itaka his set of keys.
Hebal paused browsing all the stuff before selecting a fan with a picture of the city on it "Amane is always a picky person when it comes to toys and stuff, I swear half her stuff doesn't get used so usually I get her a few bits and pieces" she told Zadina choosing a horned hat to go with the fan "You might want to do that when we have more spare time on our hand though, everone would have a fit if we had a whole bunch of tonberries playing about the airship" she tittered.
Alpha sighed "You would think someone else could be put up as a candidate. If any of them actually cared about politics they might be able to have at least some say in the way things get done" he complained breathing fire out up into the air moving through the sparks Hayate made "I guess we got lucky in that battle now that I think about it"

Felina nodded examining the bed and breakfast Oassu pointed at "Sure it looks like it could be quite cosey and the location is good" she answered squeezing Oassu "Your not a bad dancer yourself though I would like to see you dance sometime in an informal way instead of all that party boring stuff" she whispered back.
Satoshi took a step back briefly glancing over the merchandice unimpressed "Yeah I know I am not going to stop them looking at stuff... kids can be so cute sometimes. But then there are other times particulaly when they are little when they wear you out. I found my little brother hard to handle and he's nearly 7 years younger than me" she said noticing Gil still looking at the toddler.
Hayate reluctantly nodded hopping off the esculator "Yeah I guess we were lucky he didn't drop the city like he was planning to but I bet he's going to wait a while before attacking again and most likely won't go for the same place. I don't know anything about how Agralian politics go but if it's anything like elven politics then theres restrictions on who can go up for elections"

Oassu smiled "Sure if my arm recovers in time we can go clubbing while we're here" he said adding another purse to his pouch "You gotta great bootyshake anyway so we could rip up the dance floor." he said.
Gil nodded "I'm sure they are, I wonder if my kids will inherit my arms..." he pondered "They'd be a lot of trouble but hopefully they'd not be hassled at school too much for it, they'd be able to beat them up easily though" he chuckled picturing it.
Barbaros smiled "I don't think your fully understanding the situation Alex could probably have dropped us all out the bottom of that basement like Felina, Kimino's crew couldn't have caught us all it's a good thing you guys used to be friends with him but...the politics don't work that way now" he sighed "Alex has abolished elections, it's essentially a dictatorship....just not a twisted abusive one" he shrugged.
Itaka chuckled "Well why don't we go out and get something to eat and get some bedding for Chobi here" he said pocketing the keys and mounting Chobi "Though I want to check out that Jacuzzi later" he said.
Mari giggled "Maybe something to be done once we're finished with our quests, but I hope I can bond with that many creatures, I was lucky to get this one as a baby" she said rocking Sophia.
Zadina nodded "Maybe you could get a Dark Lord to help you, apparently they can control and master fiends but they don't tend to be very nice and live in big horrible towers Neliel was one of them I think" he said looking a a little squeaky moogle toy.

Seph nodded her head leading Chobi out then locked the door behind them "Remember our cabin number is 449 for me. We can explore this place later" she told Itaka pulling at the reins getting Chobi to take off into the sky "I would like to try that jaccuzi out later along with all the other fancy stuff they had in there. Did you notice the air conditioning and the mini fridge and the complimentary bottle of wine" she grinned directing the chocobo up a level.
Hebal frowned shaking her head at Zadina while she paid for her goodies "No no no no you can't go asking dark lords for help. They are really mean and get enjoyment from doing bad stuff and making people miserable. But you can bond with lots of creatures, I mean look at how much both Sophia and Ivy have warmed to you" she pointed out swinging her new carrier bag around.
Alpha sighed not liking the sound of Agralia all of a sudden "Sounds like it's a bit of a sucky place to be now, makes me glad we dont have to get any items from there. But yeah Kimino a good ally to have with us, we owe him quite a bit actually. He visits us from time to time but he is either busy most of the time or just spying on us"

Felina scratched her chin watching Oassu pinch another purse "By ripping up the dance floor do you mean like clubbing and stuff? I have never been on a night out trying that sort of thing and haven't really been on many dancefloors outside the palace" she muttered stopping by the hotel mentioned before "So are you going to try and get some rooms here?"
Satoshi smiled imagining a mini armored Gil walking with him down a street with an old Enkidu "If your kids do get your arms you'll be able to teach them to fight super well by training, plus I bet nobody would dare to hassle the kids of such a legendary sword collector. I bet your kids will be just as awesome as you" she answered stopping briefly to buy herself a strawberry ice cream
Hayate groaned "Kinda a shame like, Agralia is a nice place and I would have liked to have visited it some time in the future. That isn't going top happen now but yeah I guess Kimino is an ok guy for a member of the light clan.... don't like his sort a huge amount to be honest" he grumbled almost bumping into a passing moogle holding a cup of coffee.

Oassu smiled "Then you'll have a good time trust me I've seen how you dance I'm sure you'll do fine still lets go get this place" he said to Jenna as they headed into the hotel.
Gil chuckled "I'm sure they will and I'd love to teach them, which is why it'd be good for me to try it on Zadina now, if I can teach him I can teach anyone" he said happily.
Barbaros chuckled "You probably could if you laid low, hell Alex didn't kill you at Yithra he's probably not that bothered but you must be lucky to have him looking after you, seems powerful" he yawned watching a nervous Gria couple enter one of the shops.
Itaka smiled kissing Seph's neck "We'll need to have a nice romantic night tonight to celebrate, they've really pulled out all the stops for this event" he said spotting some fighters sparring in a Gym. "Gil will like that later on" he said.
Mari nodded "Sure I won't I get on fine with you two don't I?" she asked seeing both her fiends nod "Though that sounds like an interesting ability being able to communicate fully with fiends" she pondered.
Zadina shrugged "I hear not all are actively evil, there's supposed to be some left in isolated towers in the world that just mind their own evil business" he said defending them.

Seph purred turning around on Chobi to face Itaka "Yeah a nice quiet night in for once actually sounds rather nice. Shame we couldn't have come a day earlier since last night was apparently when the firework displays were taking place. Gil might not even get a chance to train in anyway except running if your little attempt to get the press on him succeeds" she smiled kissing his forehead.
Hebal sighed giving Zadina a gentle shake "All evil dark lords are bad news Zadina, take it from someone who has experience with them. Often they just do super mean and bad things believing in the long term it will change everything for the better. Other times they are just selfsish" she moaned flicking his ear while she waiting for him to finish browsing and pay "If we had the room on the airship I bet you would end up bringing a family of every creature along with you" she teased Mari petting her tonberry.
Alpha smiled looking down at the very edge of the moogle district below them "Kimino and Hayate don't exactly see eye to eye on some issues. In fact Hayate is kinda condemned by the whole clan" he explained letting out a loud firebreathing yawn "Enough talk about Alex, don't want that loser spoiling my day.... you all gonna watch the mathes tomorrow?" he changed the subjectl.

Felina quietly laughed sitting down on the step outside the hotel "Ok you guys good luck and all. I'll be sitting here watching Chobi for you. Thinking about it I guess I do owe you at least one form of dance" she added to Oassu then curled up to keep warm once he had gone into the hotel "Are you not bored already Boco?"
Satoshi laughed watching Hebal give Zadina the shake "Hehe and who better to start teaching than a young boy who idolises you. He'll be clinging onto your every word like superglue too so don't go giving him anything too metaphirical" she chuckled licking a way at her ice cream "Say, how do you ear with that helmet on? It may seem like a dumb question but id there a way to eat through it or do you have to take it off?"
Hayate nodded choosing to ignore the couple and instead watch a small gathering of moogles selling fruit and veg on the stalls "Yeah I plan to watch some of the matches. The ones in the smaller arena in partiular since it will be easier to get a replay of the big arena battles later on in the day. But yeah Kimino's can have a majot problem with my preferences"

Boco kwehhed quietly before turning to focus on a group of moogle children nervously approaching "Ku-Kupo? Is that a chocobo?!" one asked "He's so pretty" said another flying up to stroke Boco's head while the mother browsed a stall.
Gil nodded "I'm only gonna let him go at his own pace, thats why I want to find a sword he's comfortable with first, I can use mostly any kinda sword but most people need one kind oh and yeah there is magical enchantments inside the helmet that let me hear outside. Some special dwarven rune or something" he shrugged not really knowing the specifics "But I have to take it off to eat." he said unclipping it and taking it off so he could buy an ice cream too.
Barbaros nodded "I'll be watching the matches too, but is it because your a big gay homo?" he chuckled "There was a lot of prejudice against you in the pirate community as well you know" he said.
Itaka smirked "A quiet night in with a Jacuzzi and a bottle of champagne and maybe a massage yes?" he chuckled "But he can train later in the competition though some rookies may wanna challenge him" he said.
Zadina nodded "Ok ok I'm sorry Miss Hebal, you've met them so you know better" he apologised before turning to buy a few toys from the Gria.
Mari giggled seeing Hebal convince Zadina "Yea I'd like to take as many as possible, shame I couldn't have a unicorn but they wouldn't like to be cooped up in an airship anyway" she shrugged.
