Oassu grinned "Thats pretty nice you should go and pick them up" he said kissing her "And be sure to thank Chobi later on for helping you to win this one ok?" he said.
Gil shook his head "I think that is it, look they are making preparations for the fireworks" he said pointing to some officials wheeling in firework launchers to the arena. "I think I could use a cape but it could be dangerous in battle" he said.
Barbaros chuckled "They also say a glass of wine a day is good for your health Hayate and don't be so pessimistic Alpha, you got some time left" he said.
Mari frowned testing the headphones by plugging them into a slot with a flag of the eastern cities "Ah....I see" she said as she realised how to use them "I'd still like to know how your race came to be," she said interested in the exhibition on their origins.
Itaka laughed "That was fun though maybe you should take her racing sometime....just not there you know at least not for a while still Chobi is quite chatty, I bet she yak's Boco's ear off." he said.
Zadina gasped hearing the sound come out "I see.....magic voices..." he said unplugging it before moving on "Sorry but these are new things to me we don't use this technology in Yithra." he apologised.

Hebal giggled plugging her headphones in and out continuously but soon stopped upon receiving a subtle glare from one member of staff "Whatcha think of the technology then guys, isn't it pretty neat" she grinned skipping over to pet a giant mechanical dragon on display with a small person on it's back "Since we are all from different places I guess that also means we can all listen to stuff together right Yusti" she commented looking at her new friend for confirmation
Seph laughed picturing Chobi nattering away all night long to a somewhat fed up Boco in the airship stables "Yeah I wouldn't put it past her to be like that to him but hopefully he doesn't mind the chatting. Still where else could we go to race Chobi thats not too dodgy? Not that we will be likely to have the opportunity to do so any time soon" she sighed.
Alpha smiled lightly tapping his foot on the esculator step impatiently "Yeah I guess I shouldn't be pessimistic about stuff but I don't particulally feel like giving up habbits and-" he cut off for a moment realising he was making the esculator shake then quickly stood still "anyway wine is good for you if drunk in sensible amounts, just like lots of other things like food and rest etc"

Felina giggled placing Cid gently on her shoulder then pulled Oassu up onto his feet "Hehehe yeah I will thank her next time I see her about but come on, lets go get the winnings and get on out of here" she deicded guiding him through with her ticket "You can have some of the prize money as a gift from me"
Satoshi rubbed her chin hanging back so there was no pushing and shoving out the arena "You could always maybe fling your cape off and do some kind of dramatic pose before entering the battle" she suggested with a small snicker "Should we go and find somewhere nice to view the fireworks, maybe somewhere near the top levels of the city" she suggested to him watching the officials.
Hayate frowned almost being shook forward by Alpha's foot tapping "Woah watch it big guy and if you get any warmer you'll burn everyones feet and shoes. I would rather just live without the wine for now thanks, I am sort of getting hooked on that lemonade you keep on the airship but he is right your not that frail yet"
Yusti snlowly nodded still trying not to laugh at their reactions to the headphones "Well the main accepted theory is that we first were a result of humans and dragons getting together then evolved into gria, hense the giant dragon machine" she told Mari waving the fake smoke away that blew out from the dragons nose.

Oassu shook his head "Oh you don't have to do that you know, it's ok I've made quite a bit of money here already an I only placed one bet" he grinned patting his back pocket.
Gil laughed "Yeah could dazzle the opponents with a glittery cape that I throw at them before fighting but sure we could move away now if you like there's gotta be some good places up high in this city to watch fireworks at" he said.
Barbaros chuckled "Don't worry about it, you'll be fine for plenty of years to come I'm sure but we could use a little more drink on the airship" he said directing the moogles to the correct airship.
Mari frowned "So.....a Gria is a human and dragon offspring..." she said flinching at the thought "That doesn't seem.....right" she said shivering thinking about the conception and birth.
Zadina giggled imitating Hebal by plugging in an out "This is fun but that mechanical dragon is really cool you know" he said casting scan on it to add it to his book happily.

Itaka smiled "I'm sure he's ok with her yammering she's probably done it before you know so I don't see why this would be any different but theres loads of non-dodgy places to race her, anywhere thats a legal chocobo racing establishment which is in quite a few cities." he said.

Hebal giggled making a small farting noise when the smoke came out "Hehe that dragon had far too many beans for breakfast I think" she joked twirling around to look at some old fossils that sat in a glass display case "Which language are you listening to stuff in, the person trying to speak nu mou sounds a bit like some kind of receptionist" she commented pushing her face up against the glass.
Seph slowly nodded slowing Chobi down for a moment then steered her down towards a food shop located on the corner of the street "Yeah thats true but I always get confused as to which city does what kind of races since not all of them do the lower class ones like Kunec does. Anyway lets go get ourselves some food and maybe settle down at the complex for a while"
Alpha snickered resisting the urge to laugh at one couples bright pink airship with flowers and unicorns painted over all the body of it "I think we still have pleanty cans and the off bottle in the fridge to finish first and then theres the ones in the store cupboard so we are ok really for drinks. I'll get you two something nice from there when I find my keys since we shall be down that area anyway"

Felina grinned patting Oassu's shoulder "Oh I know I don't have to do it, but I actually want to so don't comaplain and accept it" she insisted rubbing her nose against him affectionately "Maybe we should consider setting up a joint account sometime and I could just put that money in there" she pondered hopping up to show her ticket off to the staff.
Satoshi gently lifted Enkidu down from her lap and onto the grounf to get up onto her feet "I could always take us to the stadium roof but chanses are we'll get told off for it. But if there isnt anywhere to go thats cool so long as I can watch the fireworks with you anyway" she smiled taking hold of one of Gil's hands "You should get a glow in the dark cape rather than a glittery cape"
Hayate looked over at the moogles all flying over to their airship deck giving Alpha a salute once they made it "Oh yeah I said we would let them have any spare stuff if they did a good job so you may need more wine. I completely forgot about the store room though, I'll have to pick the lock and snoop around sometime"
Yusti laughed quietly at Hebal's enthusiasm leaning against the mechanical dragon "It's not that bad, besides you have to remember that we will have come about due to loads and loads of cross breeding so say... the half dragon offspring would have kids then grandkids etc." she shrugged redirecting her gaze to the pictures painted on the ceiling.

Oassu blushed "Isn't a joint account like a big thing for a couple though?" he pondered uncertainly "I would feel guilty everytime I took your money out though." he said
Gil chuckled as Enkidu looked sadly up at Satoshi for putting him down before getting up himself and dangling Terrato around his arms "Sure a glow in the dark cape would be quite cool too but thats odd coming from you, it's most definately not stealthy and no one needs to see us on the stadium roof." he said.
Barbaros chuckled "No you won't Hayate your no drinker" he said frowning in semi-disgust at the pink airship "But keep an eye on the moogles so they don't take too much than they're welcome to." he said.
Mari giggled at Hebal "I guess but....it still sounds kinda painful...maybe even a little fatal depending on what Dragons are like size-wise" she groaned shaking her head to clear the image and move on to the next exhibit.
Zadina laughed at Hebal's joke "Smelly dragon" he said skipping over to see what Hebal was looking at "Why are you listening to the Nu Mou speech?" he asked frowning as he spotted the forest symbol of the Viera and plugged his own into it.
Itaka nodded "Sure what would you like to eat tonight, we've already got wine sorted and Chobi can race in the medium to top flites if you like thats what the one she raced at in Agralia was like. Lower flites are fine too but she might get bored if she doesn't find it challenging." he said.

Seph raised her eyebrow at Itaka but gripped onto Chobi tighter while she landed by her target "Oh yeah? I didn't really think you had the opportunity to race Chobi because of all the travelling and that you had only raised her" she told Itaka hopping off her chocobos back "So you entered her in Agralian races, did she come in any good positions" she curiously asked.
Hebal shrugged plugging the headphones next into elvish "I just put in nu mou for fun I guess. Plus I wanted to see if it was a different person for each language, only now I know it is the same one and in places clearly struggles with pronounciation. Still lets move on, I don't think Mari liked this exhibit" she whispered.
Alpha laughed patting Hayate's shoulder "You wish you could pick the lock, I bet you've lost your touch with that thing. Beides apart from the drink theres nothing too special in there you know. Just like emergency food that take almost forever to rot such as cans of beans and cereal" he informed them rummaging around for his keys.

Felina smiled placing her arm around Oassu "We could always have separate accounts as well you know but if it's not for you thats fine. I wouldn't want to make you feel guilty and I would be ok with it so long as you weren't drawing loads out just to play the slots all day or buy drink. And at least let me buy you something to eat with my winnings" she suddenly decided almost tripping over on a step.
Satoshi grabbed Gil by the arms pulling him through a door with staff only written on the front "If anyone asks we got lost ok? We may get in trouble for going to the roof. Strangley enough not all ninjas are stealthy, I remember encountering one ninja who moved around in bright orange and blue. Kinda stupid but with the right jutsu dark clothes aren't needed but its better to be safe than sorry" she smiled gently pulling Enkidu in the quickly shut the door hearing footsteps.
Hayate smirked holding Alpha's keys in front of him "looking for these right? You know what they say, you can never forget a skill but your right, I am not a heavy drinker and beans can be incredibly boring to eat. I was just curious to what was inside the cupboard in case Alpha was hiding something in there that he didn't want us to know about" he chuckled.
Yusti glanced around quickly around the fossils but somewhat happily moved onto the next display filled with all kinds of early spears, bows and swords "It wouldn't be all that fatal really but you don't seem to fond of that bit so maybe you'll like this part more. It's about where the love of battle came from. And the guy over there demonstrating some techniques totally doesn't know what he's doing" she added quietly watching a gria in old fashioned clothes demonstrating some moves with a rusty sword.

Oassu smiled "We can one day but I won't be that bad just...." he pondered a moment "I'd be sooo soo rich if we did that...." he said thinking of all the wonderful things he could buy.
Gil chuckled "Sure we can have lots of privacy and stuff up here anyway and it'll be a great view we're right beside the fireworks" he said sneaking up the stairs quietly "I'm sure you can hide us well and stuff enough anyway if someone comes up" he said.
Barbaros rolled his eyes holding up Hayate's wallet "Hayate you don't steal from friends and allies lest you forget we're both thieves here" he said returning it to him "But lets get in and get this work done, we'll need to go get our rooms sorted soon." he said.
Mari giggled "Do you know much better moves than him then? I'll need to get in a little practice tonight then to make sure I'm ready for tommorow's battles and stuff you know?" she said patting her own sword affectionately.
Itaka smiled "She raced a little, I didn't race her personally though but yeah she did pretty good" he said hopping off himself and hugging Chobi "She's a good girl pretty talented but then again she is a big gold chocobo after all" he said proudly
Zadina giggled "Well she's still very talented to know all the languages I didn't think a bangaa could sound this feminine" he said plugging into the bangaa one "But whats this exhibit about anyway?" he said wondering what the fossils were.

Seph gave Chobi a quick cuddle ans whispered an apology to Chobi as she placed a lead around her neck "Sorry girl but you cant come in the store otherwise. Did she win lots of races? And why not tell me about some of the other chocobos you bred since you seem so proud of them" she smiled grabbing a basket and placing a jar of peanut butter into it.
Hebal smiled watching the gria play with her weapon for a moment "Oh this one is about how gria learned how to turn tools and stuff into weapons and learning fighting styles and the like. See that little bronze thing is actually a spear head. But the bangaa voice sounds so feminine because a none bangaa is talking it silly"
Alpha snickered taking his keys from Hayate then stuck his tongue out at him "Ok ok point proven, if you were desperate enough you would probably find a way into the storange closet of food" he chuckles opening the main door then jumped out avoiding the moogles that came rushing through it "Man I would be embarrassed if that pink airship was mine though, it has to be a girls"

Felina giggled picking Oassu up and twirling him around on the spot "Hehe yeh you could buy stuff but if you were to overspend and maybe get us into debt I would have to give you a good telling off. But we could have a private boat... in fact I already have one hehe we can just share that one" she smiled putting him down for a kiss.
Satoshi shook her head at Gil ducking behind a bin wile a sleepy gria fluttered past "It's not that simple. A stair case isn't something I you can really hide around. Plus I don't think that you would enjoy being pushed through walls constantly" she laughed popping out before lazily picking up enkidu and teleporting them up one flight of the steps "There thats slightly better. Or are you one of those people who likes the feeling of possibly getting caught?"
Hayate smiled deicding against telling Barbaros he didn't keep his money in that wallet "Yeah I know but I still wanted to prove a point, it wasn't like I was going to do anything bad and I did plan to give them back. But I think you better hurry up and show those moogles what they are working with. With enthusiasm like that they might end up doing the whole of the ground floor"
Yusti nodded patting her blade which was put away neatly and attatched to her belt "Yeah I think I could do better than her, she's using a style of sword fighting that requires more fancy moves than necessary. I mean half the fancy manovers there you wouldn't have the opportunity to perform in a real battle"

Oassu chuckled as he was placed down "Sorry it's just thats so much stuff for me to get you know" he grinned "But I won't be that bad though I'd REALLY need to spend to put a Royal family into debt." he said.
Gil smiled as the sleepy Gria dozed off dropping a few feet before waking up with a start "She shouldn't fly when she's so tired" he said patting Enkidu for being quiet while checking Terrato was still around his arms "I guess you could say it is quite fun with the risk" he smirked.
Barbaros nodded pocketing the money he'd taken from Hayate subtly "They ain't all that enthusiastic remember that lazy one on Alpha's back? Still lets get them to work so we can go see the town." he said.
Mari nodded "You'll need to show me some Gria battle techniques later you know" she said "Nothing convoluted and show offy like that stuff" she said politely clapping as the demonstration finished smiling as Sophia mimiced her and the others.
Itaka nodded crossing his arms as he thought back "There's Angus a red chocobo, he's a big guy, very protective not one of the most....affectionate chocobo's but he's very powerful can summon meteors and stuff and he's loyal for sure, he alone protects my chocobo farm" he said thinking about the others "Then there is Jemelia, a green chocobo, she's friendly and with the greatest coat of feathers you've ever seen she always enjoys a bath or so but she's a strong chocobo, not in the same way as Angus but if I had to go on a long march cross country I count count on her." he said recalling them fondly.
Zadina giggled "I see she's very good" he said clapping happily "I think those Gria are lucky to have wings it must be great fun to fly like they do." he said.

Seph smiled patting Itaka on the shoulder, at the same time pulling Chobi away from the fruit "Cute names. Are those your favourites and do you miss those two then? They both must be good for travelling around because of their strong climbing abilities. Though for now I would like to think Chobi has the reatest coat of feathers no offence" she told him petting her chocobo "What would you like to eat later? I'm just buying junk for myself" she asked him pushing a couple of packets of noodles into their shopping basket.
Hebal nodded also giving a round of applause "I wish I could speak as many languages as that lady, think of how social we could be with everyone but wings would be cool. We could go wheeeeeee through the sky and throw pies at any of the nasty birds or even drop them on mean people too. The gria have kinda cute tails I think that go well with the wings" she commented resisting the temptation to pull Yusti's somewhat curly one.
Alpha nodded stepping letting out a small sigh of relief to see the moogles weren't zooming around destroying the place "Ok guys, this isn't the area we want you to work on" he told them removing the rug then opened the trapdoor leading downstairs "Right, we want to make the room with the blue door into a bathroom and the rooms with the yellow labels on the door to be made into 2 bedrooms suitablefor two people" he instructed opening the rooms "You two can go off now if you want now, the moogles will do the rest of the work" he reminded Hayate and Barbaros.
