Oassu smiled "He's not a fan of big noises eh?" he asked covering the bunny's ears "So which one is yours and whats the odds?" he asked watching the chocobo's line up.
Gil frowned "Well...I guess thats ok still if she can do that I guess it's ok but if you don't wanna take the measurements sure we can get someone else to do it for you" he shrugged.
Barbaros chuckled "Coulda given you both reward money and Felina if you were really lucky but ah well your alright for money just now" he said moving down the escalator after them.
Mari smiled "Don't you worry too much so long as the men don't get all arrogant and stuff about it" she said "But we should go to the one with the rooftop garden for the fireworks" she said
Zadina giggled "Thats clever Miss Hebal I didn't think spears could do that you know?" he said examining it "But you shouldn't carry a big weapon like that in public?" he said uncertainly.
Itaka smiled stroking Seph's wing "You could be fun, Hebal's pretty hyper and she's fun enough besides I've never seen you hyper could be pretty intresting you know?" he said.

Hebal smiled unfolding the spear allowing more room for others to pass "It's not so bad carrying around weapons really but theres not really much room on what little ground there is so I brought my easier to carry weapon with me even if it's not as strong as my usual one. Your weapon on the other hand is kinda small and easily mistaken for a library book. but doesn't miss Yusti fly funny when she does that" she giggled giving Zadina a small shake onto the esculator.
Alpha nodded lazily sliding down the esculator then jumped off at the bottom creating a loud shakey thud "Yeah that would have been the best scenario and it is true that if we hadn't picked up Zadina that nethicite would have done more to Itaka than make his arm mutate. Ahh suppose your right that I shouldn't complain. Maybe I could just take Milly on holiday to a place I know with many elixers instead" he sighed slipping into a daydream of diamonds raining down from the sky.
Seph laughed moving Chobi out the exit of the carnival "You just want to see me bouncing off the walls for once I bet" she told him clinging onto the reigns as Chobi suddenly took flight narrowly missing a swarm of about 20 moogles "You do know I have no idea where we are going, I'm just letting Chobi fly around now just for the hell of it" she informed him.

Felina glanced through the line of chocobos then pointed to a female red chocobo with the number 2 on her back "That red one is mine, shes called Redrum and the odds of her winning are 7 to one and I put a 5000gil bid on her" she informed him covering Cid's ears briefly until the race had began and the chocobos were running.
Satoshi nodded grabbing a handful of popcorn "Trust me I meant literally taking measurements everywhere if you were to get one but it doesn't matter really. I bet you would prefer other stuff anyway" she answered petting Enkidu but shuddered slightly watching one fighter get whacked across the head with the hilt of his opponants sword.
Hayate frowned watching some of the moogles scatter for a few moments to get away from an oncoming chocobo "Say wasn't that Chobi that just flew past us? Odd buy anyway what were we saying, oh yeah just ignore Alpha since he's just greedy and is alright for money really. In fact I would go as far as to say he's one of the wealthier members of our party" he concluded reaching the bottom of the esculator.
Yusti snickered a little zigzagging through the crows too lazy to use her legs instead of her wings "Actually it's about half and half. The males are either really arrogant and enjoy every minute of it or hate the fact there are so few and are often seen being chased by lots of girls. The latter tending to be the easier to get along with from my experience"

Oassu smiled "She looks ok" he said seeing Cid's ears spring back up once the race had started before pulling a carrot that was sticking out of Felina's bag out and letting him nibble it "But 5000gil is quite a big bet, the minimum here is 500 you know and thats enough really" he said.
Gil blushed a little "Oh...well I'm fine with whatever you make me I never really took an interest in clothes, besides I'm sure you'll know what I'll look good in" he chuckled.
Barbaros shrugged "You could take Milly, but you'd have to take Yenytai too and not a lot of places would let you stay there with a magic pot as they are prone to being stolen or blowing stuff up." he said.
Mari grinned seeing one such chase happen above them "Why do you need to do that anyway? My understanding of Gria biology is that you lay eggs rather than the usual methods you know?" she asked.
Zadina giggled seeing her zig-zag "Yeah it makes me wonder what it'd be like to have wings and just hover about like that seems a little odd but my weapon is nice and safe I can't accidentally stab someone with this" he said
Itaka chuckled "That could be fun trying to tame you when your hyper but whats the deal with those moogles" he frowned as they evaded them "And sure so long as Chobi doesn't wanna go anywhere dodgy she should be allowed to fly freely." he said.

Seph shrugged leaning over the side of Chobi to take a look at the moogles below "I dunno what the deal is with them unless they are a large group for the tournament. Unless Alpha scared them or something. But Chobi is a good girl she won't take us anywhere daft" she laughed pointing to the red spot that was Alpha's head before going back to her candyfloss.
Hebal smiled but shook her head at Zadina "Nah uh thats just what people want you to think. Books and card and paper stuff can have very sharp and pointy edges you know" she warned wagging her finger at him "Hehehe I bet your so glad your not that guy up there and only have to deal with us lot" she added quietly pointing to the chase.
Alpha groaned as his daydream was interrupted by the image of Milly exploding in his face "Yeah I guess your right only the place I know with lots of elixers isn't in a town or city. It's in the middle of the jungle so nobody would be around to complain. Though.. Yenytai might accidentally tell all the fiends where we are if I gave her a walkie talkie" he pondered quietly.

Satoshi sighed resisting the temptation to throw popcorn at the individual who had just stood up and blocked her view of the fight "There aren't that many guys who are hugely interested in clothes so long as they look ok. It's very much a female interest but yeah I have an idea about what you look best in" she agreed allowing Terrato to slither down onto him "Can you see whats happening down there since I can't see too well"
Felina blushed watching carefully the chocobos sprinting down the track with the one she was betting on currently moving into 4th position "It's not that big a bet really or at least not to me but I did say I had a good feeling about her, she's going pretty good right now" she pointed out biting on her nail as the chocobo overtook the one that was in front.
Hayate stuck his arm out directing the moogles down the alleyway to their right "I don't think Milly and Yenytai would particulaly like moving away anyway. Not now they have Amane and her friends to play with regulaly. Still where is this awesome place of elixers in the world, I think your just making up stories"
Yusti rolled her eyes at the girls chasing after the one male gria "Silly creatures but try looking at it this way. Chickens lay eggs but without the contribution of the male birdies the eggs dont hatch and just become food. It's the same with every egg laying creature but if you want more details there is actually a bit about it in the museum" she told Mari not wanting to go into too much detail

Gil smiled patting the gentlemen in front on the shoulder and politely asking him to either move or sit down which he did "Can now but what sorta clothes are you thinking of?" he said stroking Terrato.
Oassu nodded "I guess so but don't worry so much" he said stroking Felina's arm with his own "You'll worry little Ciddy Widdy and in the end it's only a bit of money I can make it back for you" he said.
Barbaros nodded "They are used to the forest but I imagine they might like to travel a bit and see the sights of the world you know?" he said "And I'd like to know where you get your elixirs from too I don't have any now."
Mari nodded "It's alright I don't need Gria biology 101 hehe" she giggled "But sure we can see it later, I feel sorry for men like that though" she said watching the chase.
Itaka smiled "She is a good girl" he said stroking Chobi's wing before glancing back at Alpha "Dunno what thrill he gets out of terrorizing moogles like that...better be careful I hear Mognet sends out letter bombs" he said chuckling at the thought.
Zadina frowned looking at his book "I never thought of it that way...it's never hurt me before but those Gria girls look kinda scary...I hope I don't ever have to deal with girlies like that" he said.

Seph frowned leaning over the side of Chobi again to glance back down at the rest of that bit of the city "I didn't think moogles did that just beause you scared them. I thought for them to be that mean yo would really have to tourment then. But your right Chobi is a good girl and shall continue to be so long as she doesn't try to land us somewhere silly like in the middle of an esculator or on a random rooftop"
Alpha frowned shaking his head "Nooo I haven't made up stories honest. But I get a lot of my elixers from Psy, he usually sends me something every month and thants what I usually ask for with one or two exceptions such as getting something to cure my hangovers, which I'll be needing to ask for more of now" he suddenly remembered.
Hebal giggled trying to peek inside Zadina's bag while he looked for his book "Hehe relax already Zadina, if that ever happens to you it means your seen as super cool and popular by everyone which isn't a bad thing I think. Say Yusti, why not tell us a little more about yourself. Howd you get into doing all this arena stuff" she asked hoping to learn more on gria culture

Satoshi paused examining Gil once more before making a decision "Well theres a few outfits you could go for. You may want to avoid shirts because they will seriously restrict your movement because of your arms. T-shirts would be better, perhaps baggy since really tight t-shirts tend to be worn by a different sort of guys if you know what I mean. Jeans would look good too but you should avoid wearing things like kilts. Cloaks also would be a no no but capes would be ok" she evaluated giving him a pat on the back greatful to see again in time to catch the end of the fight.
Felina smiled removing her fingernails from her mouth "Sorry about that I guess I was a little excited and was starting to get into it. You don't need to give it back to me though really. 5000g used to be my weekly pocket money when I was like half Zadina's age. Plus Ciddy widdy is ok so no problems there" she sighed happily receiving a high five from Cid.
Hayate scratched his head thinking for a moment trying to work out what Alpha was talking about "Oh yeah I remember that hangover cure thing, didn't you give the rest of it to Mari and Hebal ages ago? Can you ask your kid if he knows something that you can drink to increase alcohol tolerance in elves for me sometime" he joked.
Yusti paused surprised by Hebal's question "Uhh you want to know about me? Ok I guess, I was raised in Tricasia and when I got older I moved a few miles out of the city then set up my own monster arena. You know I collect monsters from all over and then people pay good money to have a go at defeating them under controlled conditions. I don't deal with tonberries of course, those cute little things would just be too risky even if I did consider it" she added remembering Mari owning Sophia.

Gil smiled "I could warm up to the thought of a cape but shame I could show off my abs with a tight shirt" he chuckled cuddling Satoshi slightly "I value your opinion you know, we can get me some clothes tommorow if you want." he said as the last fight of the day finished as one warrior was disarmed and knocked down.
Oassu raised an eyebrow "Wow you got some great pocket money, wonder what thats like..." he said imagining easy money like that "Still Cid is cool but its getting dark." he said looking at the sunset through the glass ceiling "So we better hurry up" Jenna interjected "I wanna see the fireworks, I'm going to get Boco from the stables" she said moving away sliding a Seeq's wallet out of his back pocket as she passed.
Barbaros smiled "You know Hayate you could just drink a little, pushing your boundaries forward a little each time besides your only half elf it shouldn't be so much trouble for you to drink a bit more." he said.
Mari giggled "Aww Sophia here is just lovely though," she said patting Sophia who gurgled happily "I'm sure I could tame a few tonberries for you to use, but you can't have Sophia" she added.
Itaka grinned "Random rooftops ain't bad, make good for getaways and stuff plus you can have a chat with the occasional chimney sweep" he said giving Seph's neck a kiss "Still I hope you've had a good day" he said taking a small ball of candy floss.
Zadina frowned "But it looks like they are very angry at him otherwise he wouldn't be running away so much..." he said as the chase flew out of sight.

Seph smiled sitting back up to return the kiss "I suppose some chimney sweeps are ok to talk to but some dont like talking because they are busy. And woah what is Chobi doing, bad girl don't go there" she scolded as chobi descended onto the chocobo racetrack and began running alongside the race leader for a chat only to move away onto the sidelines huffishly when the other chocobo refused to talk.
Hebal shook her head at both Zadina and Mari hopping up the massive steps leading up to a big stone building with a word resembling museum written on the front "Is this the one we wanna go to? Anyway don't worry Zadina, those girls are only angry at him because he's been ignoring them for ages" she reassured him reaching over to pet Sophia "We can't have all her friends and family getting killed off now can we"
Alpha chuckled scratching his head "Hmm... you know I don't think you can be all that bad, I mean I have seen you down a pint before of none elvish drink although... I think you could be a right laugh if drunk. Your so serious that it would be funny if you were to start dancing on tha table and stuff"

Satoshi snickered picking out one or two pieces of popcorn "You don't want to go wearing the tight shirts. The general opinion back home is that the people who like to do stuff like that are the ones that need to compensate for something. Still I don't know if we will have time to get clothes, we may be asked to wait around all day for our matches" she pointed out watching the warriors move out the arena centre.
Felina gave Jenna a wave but burst out laughing upon seeing Chobi fly down onto the racetrack "Haha Chobi could have totally won the race if she wanted to but she's at least done some good" she commented as her chocobo overtook the race leader who had slowed down slightly to glance back in confusion at Chobi "we'll go after this race ok?"
Hayate nodded putting his hand over his face to shield his eye from the sunlight "Yeah but that wasn't too heavy but I do sort of fit into what you would call the light weight category. The little by little thing wouldn't really work unless I was drinking all the time I guess plus that kinda thing is meant to be linked slightly to alcaholics" he lectured Barbaros finally able to point out the airship below them to the moogles.
Yusti nodded landing on one of the middle steps then hopped up the rest of the way "Yeah this is the place and you'll be pleased to know it's free entry. I'll pass on your offer though miss Mari, I don't have the time to bother with the months of paperwork involved in getting the officials to approve of keeping them, I only just received the right to keep hold of a cactuar king" she sighed moving ahead to get everyone a pair of headphones "If something interests you each thing has a headphones slot with a flag next to it.If you put the headphones in the slot it will tell you more about what your looking at in your own language"

Gil smiled "Fine fine but I assure you I'm not compensating for anything" he chuckled as some people left the arena "But a cape could be quite interesting, more heroic you know?" he said.
Oassu blinked confused at the sight of Chobi "Wow...I hope they don't get in trouble for that but at least it looks like your chocobo won" he chuckled "How much you going to win from this?" he asked
Barbaros shrugged "I don't mean doing it non stop, but just occasionally and you should try not to get drunk old man" he warned Alpha "It's not exactly healthy" he said.
Mari giggled "Fine but I bet tonberries would draw in the visitors" she pointed out toying with the headphones curiously "Um....how do you use these...things" she asked turning the strange device over in her hands.
Itaka laughed "Well that waas fun but Chobi could've won if we'd kept that up, I hope everyone will be ok but maybe we better leave...." he said spying some angry Gria officials running towards them before patting Chobi's wings "Don't worry about it girl, he was a mean ol chocobo for not chatting with you." he reassured her.
Zadina cast float on himself to make the ascent easier "I've not seen these devices either," he said taking the headphones in hand "Still it'd be nice since I can't read Grian." he pondered.

Seph frowned noticing the angry gria rush towards them "Go go, get us out of here Chobi or we shall be in big trouble" she urged her digging her legs gently into her wings then cast haste on the bird so that the gria wouldn't stand a chance of catching up to them while they flew away "Yeah I suppose that was kinda fun but I never realised Chobi was such a sociable and chatty chocobo. You can do better than that one girl, your waay faster" she added with a small sigh of relief.
Hebal grinned taking the headphones from Mari and Zadina then put them around on their heads "You've seen ear muffs before haven't you? Basically these are like ear muffs only if you put the end of the little string thing into the right place, like Yusti said the hole in the wall next to your national flag then it will start talking to you about stuff" she explained plugging Zadina into the one by the front door causing an elvish welcome message to go out of the headphone speakers.
Alpha snickered peering over the side of a set of railings at the sky below "I don't get drunk that often you know. You would usually tell straight away since I can't keep control of my human form when I've had too many. Bseides I am healthy enough and am going to die soonis anyway so I may as well enjoy it" he shrugged finally spotting the airship in the distence.

Felina paused using her fingers to caculate the total winnings "Well let me see... since I put 5000gil on the chocobo and the odds were 7/1 my total winnings are... 35000gil. Heh I guess I was right to have that good feeling" she smiled giving both Oassu and Cid a hug now Chobi had left almost in a flash.
Satoshi smiled patting Gil on the back "I am sure your not compensating don't worry about that but yea you would look awesome in maybe a red cape. Not that you need to look more heroic anyway since your already rather cool looking. Is that it then? No more fights are anything?" she asked noticing the people leaving.
Hayate yawned stepping onto the long esculator leading down to the airship parking space then sat down on one of the steps "You'll still live that little bit longer by cutting down even if they don't make it as strong as they used to be" he muttered suddenly remembering he told the moogles they could have some of the drink in the fridge once they had finished the job
Yusti chuckled surprised by the groups reaction to the headphones "Heh sorry but it's quite funny seeing your looks of confusion. Just so you know, you will be the only ones who will be able to hear what the voice is telling you" she smiled following the arrows into the first exhibiton about her dragon ancestors "I don't need tonberries to draw in crowds at my arena, I have bigger and rarer fiends"
