Gil chuckled "Me too but I'm interested in seeing how you'll do down there" he said frowning as the dazed loser of the previous match was stretchered off "You sure you want to do this? You admit swordplay is not your forte" he said with concern.
Oassu smiled "Yeah but things can get pretty harsh out there" he said indicating the chocobo who fell allowing Felina's to overtake "I wouldn't want to see you get hurt out there or anything besides there's vicious underground chocobo arena's where the chocobo's are allowed to peck and shoot their fireballs if they can at each other, I don't want those shady types catching on to you." he said.
Sophia nodded happily setting down in Yusti's lap and drinking from her bottle while she watched the others.
Itaka smiled mounting Chobi "Yeah but I think you had more fun tormenting that couple though but least we ain't slaves anymore" he said looking around "Where should we head now?" he asked.
Mari giggled patting Hebal's ears as they appeared "Well Miss room inspector Hebal did everything turn out well? And your welcome to crash here if you like" she said beaming.
Zadina giggled "You would look really funny sleeping on top of a lamp post, but I'm not sure the Gria police would take too kindly too it" he said peeking under the bed where Hebal was.
Barbaros shrugged "If you say so man but I always figured the moogles got any machinery or electronic jobs covered before a hume or demon is even considered for it." he said

Seph laughed quietly while she bent down to untie Chobi from her post "Yeah tormenting the other couples was the best bit about it from what I saw but how about we go on something more fun.... like the dodgems. Which I could totally beat you at" she suggested sticking her tongue out at him.
Hebal smiled giving Mari a thumbs up "Yep it's super clean down there and was fluff free, only the carpet may be covered in Hebal fur now" she commented dancing around on the spot "Whats so bad about lamp post sleeping anyway? It's not like I would damage it of block the light out" she quietly complained performing a flip over the bed.
Alpha grinned shalking his head "Can't do that in most countries, most of them now say you have to look at everyone and treat em equally nowerdays. The main exception are the moogle cities because of the lack of diversity and -" he answered trailing off to stare out the window and watched what looked like an army of moogles lining up outside the shop.

Felina smiled back giving Oassu's shoulder a rub while she watched her chocobos efforts in surprise "Oh I wouldn't enter one of those dodgy underground ones, only the official races and you could win a fortune just by betting on me a few times" she laughed quietly but broefly glanced around in search of Jenna.
Satoshi shrugged ignoring the man being stretched off to watch the rushed start to the next fight "I dunno if I'll be any good. I just figured I would be doing my bit to help even if I just make it one less person to compete with over the prize. Though you are more than welcome to give me some extra sword training if your worried about how I'll do" she answered cheerfully before filling her mouth up with as much popcorn as it could hold.
Hayate smirked noticing Alpha staring at him and the moogles he had waiting out in front of the shop then gave and gave him a quick wave from below.

Oassu smiled "I could but other riders are good too I hope your not being too cocky about this" he said stroking Felina's leg "But sure maybe I'll get you a racing chocobo then as a gift" he said.
Gil smiled as the next fight begun "I will, I don't want to see you get badly hurt out there, even though the swords are blunt we can train a little tonight if you like" he said stroking Satoshi's cheeks.
Barbaros glanced at the moogles "Wow, Hayate did good, we should hurry up then before they get bored and fly off somewhere" he said.
Itaka grinned "It's not like you can win at dodgems but sure we can go there and I can bump you about a lot, so long as Chobi here is ok to wait for you" he said patting Chobi's neck as she moved off.
Mari giggled "A little Hebal fur isn't too bad, you smell nice so you'll only make this room smell nice too" she said ducking as Hebal flipped over the bed.
Zadina nodded "Yes but the general rules in cities are that homeless aren't allowed to sleep in public, the Gria police might drop you off at a homeless shelter or something if they caught you" he said concerned.

Seph smiled stroking chobi's wings causing her pet to let out a high pitched squark of delight "Yeah she'll be fine waiting around a little longer so long as we give her some attention or something nice to eat afterwards I bet. Plus you won't get the opportunity to bump me with my ramming skills and good driving abilities" she taunted him flexing her muscles.
Hebal groaned bouncing back onto the bed slightly impetiently "Not everyone on the street at night is homeless the silly people but come on lets go out now, I want some form of fun and if I keep bouncing on this bed for entertainment I might end up breaking it" she giggled doing a somersalt.
Alpha nodded giving Hayate a wave back then pulled himself away from the window "Meh lets just pay and leave, I think I have a good idea of the stuff I need anyway and yeah I don't want to bore them into flying off... though it's a shame we don't have at least one gria working with us" he muttered jumping down the stairs then rushed over to the stock area to grab the boxes he needed.

Felina giggled quietly taking her eyes off the race to give Oassu a kiss on the cheek "I'm not a particulaly cocky person unlike you. I am just confident in my riding abilities" she answered tapping his nose "You don't need to get me any chocobos, I already have a couple back home in the palace stables that are being well looked after"
Satoshi sighed relaxing slightly in her seat and placing the popcorn between the seats "Yeah, why not. A little late night training session won't hurt anyone so long as we aren't up too long and get too tired to battle tomorrow. Maybe you could even show me one or two techniques" she agreed stroking Gil's back

Oassu smiled "I'm not that bad but fine were the chocobo's all gifts or did you just want to treat yourself to one?" he asked her as various patrons moved over to the kiosks to collect money.
Gil smiled eating some popcorn "I'm sure I can, gotta give you as much of a fighting chance in this tournament but you don't need to worry, I'll be sure to win it for Oassu and Felina" he said kissing Satoshi's head.
Itaka smiled "I think I've got some pretty good ramming skills too" he said as the chocobo-shaped dodgems came into sight "But yeah we'll get you something nice to eat soon girl" he said patting Chobi's neck.
Mari chuckled "Yeah we can go out and play then Hebal" she said playing with Hebal's ears affectionately patting Ivy who was still snuggled in the fur "But what is there for us to do here just now Yusti?" she asked.
Zadina frowned "I know but they might not like people sleeping in public like that still what fun things could we do?" he asked casting float on himself to examine the ceiling.

Seph gently placed her hands on Chobi's neck encouraging her to race her to the dodgems disguised as rainbow coloured chocobos "I think Chobi is just happy to be able to run around freely in an area which isn't in a stable or on the airship" she commented patting her pets beak then tied her up to the post next tothe ride "I'm taking that blue dodgem over there with the green beak" she claimed hopping over the barrier passing the money to the ride attendant on the way.
Hebal cheered bpuncing up and down on the spot for a moment before hopping towards the exit to find Yusti "Ahoy our good escort, what sort of stuff do you guys like to do for fun here, we're all bored!" she asked almost shouting but quickly quietened down upon noticing Sophia "You know what this town needs? Public sleeping huts and stuff maybe with lockers too" he decided going back to tickle Zadina's feet.
Alpha groaned carrying his new fast purchases out the door with difficulty "Ugh heya Hayate that was fast, Barbaros is just coming since I went ahead. Now do me a favour and carry these" he greeted the elf handing the top 2 boxes to him containing a bed and a dining table

Felina shuffled forward allowing the people behind them to pass her more easily "They were all gifts from one person or another. One was from my mum and the others were from various noble families trying to get into my good books. You would be surprised how many nobles suck up to other nobles when they have unmarried children" she laughed trying to work out which was the winning chocobo.
Satoshi smiled back nibbling a small piece of popcorn"I bet you will win the competition but your going to need someone who is good at dealing with the press. Someone like me who can provide you with a fast get away and a hiding place/disguise" she joked stretching out once the person next to her had left to buy a drink.
Hayate nodded but almost toppled over at the sudden increase in weight he was carrying "Ok ok thats fine but allow me to introduce me to your construction team. This is Mojito, he's going to be the one telling all the moogles what to do. Mogliana is going to be in charge of doing the fittings and Mogritch will be overseeing the plumbing" he told the demon pointing to each moogle as he went along.
Yusti shrugged stroking Sophia's forehead "Well that depends on what you like doing, I mean this is a city so you can do practically anything. You know like shopping, ice skating, flying, watching sports, playing sports such as blitzball etc" she suggested to them with a yawn.

Oassu chuckled "I'm guessing some of those nobles were hoping for a nice arranged marriage with a doll like you" he said snuggling her "But chocobo's couldn't buy your heart."
Gil smiled "Yeah someone like you perhaps?" he said kissing her "But the press haven't been much of a problem so far they might want some nice photo's of a hot girl like you though" he said.
Barbaros chuckled "Cute little bunch aren't they, how'd you get so many to join you so easily?" he asked.
Mari frowned "I haven't done most of those things but we can't exactly fly so why don't we go shopping?" she suggested to Hebal while Zadina broke into a fit of giggles as Hebal tickled his feet.
Itaka grinned paying and jumping into a black chocobo with a red beak before setting off and making a beeline for Seph while Chobi kwehed slightly confused by the chocobo cars.

Seph grinned mischevously turning her dodgem car around then headed directly at Itaka's narrowly missing being hit at the back by another rider who was driving around in circles failing to keep control.
Hebal nodded gently pulling Zadina down from the ceiling "Hehe silly billy we can't make lots and lots of plans with you hanging around up there" she pointed out doing a small twirl with him in her grasp "So whatcha think of doing a little more shopping for souveneers and stuff. I think it could be pretty cool and a good opportunity to find some culture"
Alpha smiled waving to each of the moogles introduced by Hayate "Nice to meet you guys but how much exactly are we paying for these guys to help out? And where did they all come from" he asked relieved to have the moogles offer to carry some of the boxes for him "Shall we get going too?"

Felina nodded her head placing an arm around Oassu's neck "Yeah it was something like that but I'm no gold digger and to be honest... to me it only made me think the people who gave them to me were trying so hard it was pathetic. But the chocobos didn't do anything wrong so I kept them" she quietly laughed pretending to be riding one as a way of entertaining Cid.
Satoshi smirked stretching her legs out in front of her "Yeah someone like me and the press are a little busy reporting on the fight below so wouldnt have a chance of spotting you all the way up here. And maybe I don't want them taking loads of pictures of me, would rather just be left alone" she added returning the kiss.
Hayate yawned trying not to laugh at one moogles squeaky protest at being called both cute and little by Barbaros "Some of these guys are a little sensitive about their height but a few of them worked in the store we were in last and then when they found out it was a high paying job everyone got really into it so I payed to have them all hired" he explained.
Yusti yawned twisting around to see what Zadina was giggling about "Shopping is something you can do anywhere. If you want culture go to an art gallery or go and check out all the tournament festives" she informed them sleepily.

Oassu smiled patting Cid happily "You couldn't be a gold digger, your engaged to me, a penniless thief after all but they were trying hard for a really good girl at least" he said kissing Felina's hand.
Gil nodded "I understand I'll do my best to keep them away from you" he said pulling Satoshi a little closer while some of his hands went to massage her stretched out legs "They can't exactly get into the complex so we'll be ok here" he said.
Barbaros frowned at the one squeaking at him "Whats this little one's problem?" he asked Hayate while shifting the weight of the boxes he carried "Still good job Hayate there's enough here to get the job done in no time but do any of them have any experience with this sorta thing?" he asked.
Itaka groaned as they both collided head on "Ugh....your supposed to dodge Seph..." he murmered rubbing his stomach where the steering wheel bumped into it before spinning the wheel and reversing and spinning away from Seph bumping into another little kid and stopping.
Mari nodded "Sure we can go shopping but I don't know if any of those Gria clothes will work on me I don't have wings and my back may get cold with the slots for them" she said plucking Sophia from Yusti's lap as she yawned "Need to get you some more milk too little missy" she said
Zadina sighed readjusting his shoes now he was on the ground "Yeah we could do that but what kinda cultural things do the Gria have? I'd love to study it a little more" he said examining the empty pages in his book and thinking about what to fill them with.

Seph burst out laughing reversing the dodgem back into a bangaa who had been trying to sneak up on her and ram her dodgem into the wall "Sure I suppose you are meant to dodge but without a little bit of aggression you have nothing to even bother dodging" she answered back turning 180 degrees.
Alpha snickered leaning in closer to Barbaros "That little moogle doesn't want to be seen as little and cute. He wants to be seen as big and strong and tough etc." he explained quietly to him before turning to Hayate "Say can you tell these guys in moogle language that we would like to know what previous experience these guys have" he requested.
Hebal shrugged jumping outside to enjoy the breeze "Hehe I know that a lot of gria culture is to do with battling. Lots and lots of battling and training to be super warrior people. But surely clothes with slots and stuff in them will be just awesome for the summer or when we have to go and visit a really really hot all year round place like Tricasia again" she chirped swaying from side to side with the wind.

Felina grinned running her fingers down Oassu's good arm to tickle him "I dunno about the penniless part. Milly got you all sorted out for a while plus everyone we've met so far seem to have been very generous with the rewards... you do still have some of your reward money and stuff right?" she asked to make sure.
Satoshi jumped slightly in surprise but quickly returned to her previous relaxed state "Yeah that seems to be one good thing the arena staff have done for us. They may be allowed in this part but it's not like they can do an all night camp out just to find out all your match times and stuff. It's not that I hate the press, more that I don't like having my picture taken too much" she added quietly leaning against him.
Hayate nodded speaing in gria as quickly as he could to the moogles that were inaware of what Alpha and Barbaros were saying to them "about half of these guys can speak Agralian but apparently all of these guys have had some form of experience in decorating and fitting stuff. Mojito goes on further to say he is the master at everything your asking for" he translated with a sigh.
Yusti rolled her eyes getting up onto her feet now Sophia was away from her "Theres more to gria culture than just battling you know. Some gria are all for nature and doing all sorts of rituals to try and encourage changes in the weather but you would have to ask a geomancer gria if you wanted more information on that"
