Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gil nodded sighing happily as Satoshi rubbed his tummy "Your good at that, but still least you had fun but you should've been brushing your teeth as a little girl as well you know" he chuckled refilling his glass.

Oassu beamed "That would be good thanks, my arm could probably do with a wash under there but I'll need to be careful I don't hurt it while the cast is off if you want to do that" he said.

Mari frowned looking at little Sophia "I hope she doesn't theres not way I could travel with her on the airship if she was giant but I can still play fun games with her then" she said happily.

Itaka smiled "I guess not but I'd tell you if anything was up with you in the morning" he said splashing Seph gently as a firework of two Gria kissing erupted in the sky. He let his fingers dangle in the water lightly, "Shall we get moving towards home then?" he asked

Zadina giggled "You look like you spend loads of time practicing your juggling the way you handle those apples you know, you'll need to teach me one day!" he insisted.

Felina glanced down at Oassu's arm taking a moment to carefully examine it and the cast "Oh don't worry about hurting it, you have one of the best free nurses you could get and I can use my magic to hold your arm in place and stop it hurting. The only catch is your arm may go numb for about 20mins" she reassured him taking out a pen "When you have your new one on we can get everyone to sign your cast, I dunno if thats just an elf thing or not but it is kinda nice" she giggled.

Satoshi gasped pretending to be a little insulted by what Gil said "Now now thats not a nice thing to say you know" she tutted turning him around in her hug. "I brushed my teeth all the time as a kid but it made no big difference I was eating that much sugar, by the end of the day I had reached a point way beyond hyper" she defended patting him on the back.

Yusti nodded in agreement picking an apple from the tree then tossed it down to Hebal "Here catch and if you have the time teach me how to do it too" she requested picking an extra apple for herself "If Sophia did get that big she could probably jump alongside the airship and at least hide and seek would be easier for you"

Seph frowned immediately whipping out a set of towels from her bag with a starry pattern on them "Here you go Itaka, I don't want to have given you a cold... and one for me and one for Chobi" she added shaking her hair dry before vigorously drying the chocobo and wrapping herself and Itaka into the towels "You won't freeze, I have something in my bag to deal with almost every situation" she smiled with satisfaction pulling Chobi forward.

Hebal shook her head rapidly almost dropping the apples as a result "Nah uh because I am not practicing today, I'm performing. I just saw the apples and thought I might see what I could do... a little like a random urge" she quickly explained to Zadina catching some of the apples but allowed others to fall to the ground "I can only do about 7 really well but as you can see I find 8 difficult. I learned it when I was Amane's age"

Gil blushed deeper as he sunk between Satoshi's chest "I...I guess but your alright most of the time which is good, wouldn't do for a warrior to lose her cool in....in a fight.." he said his voice slightly muffled.

Oassu sighed smiling slightly "Ah well figures but Cid seems to be enjoying it, like he's trying to jump up to see the fireworks" he said resting against Felina "And maybe we can take that bath together someday" he chuckled.

Mari laughed "We've beaten one before I think, it tried to attack me but didn't get anywhere that was in the same place we got Sophia" she said applauding Hebal's skills.

Itaka smiled drying himself a little "Go figure" he said taking Seph's hand as they walked away "You've certainly had a fun day despite being a slave for some of it, maybe we'll be able to finish our little breakfast adventure once we have a little privacy." he whispered.

Zadina smiled catching two other apples "Wow Miss Hebal your really good but who taught you then, not even my big brother Kurgan could go juggling and tricks like that" he said.

Satoshi slowly nodded with satisfaction letting go of Gil to reach for her wine glass "Nah I wouldn't lose my cool in the middle of the fight unless I was horribly airsick and that would so not be my fault. It's deep water that your not so good in right? Because I am fine with diving and swimming and holding my breath" she recalled rubbing her head.

Felina giggled sticking her hand through the bubble stroking Cid's back "What could be more fun for this guy, he likes colourful things and he enjoys bouncing around in these bubbles so it couldn't be better. But sure we could take it in the next couple of days as it may do a little good for your recovery, the only thing is that Cid may feel the need to join us" she quietly added ruffling Oassu's hair.

Yusti hesitated flying upwards out of the garden and ito the sky only descending a couple of minutes later "Don't mind me I was just checking the time because of your curfew, you have a while to go. You probably have battled a big tonberry but I am talking about a giant godzilla building stomping tonberry!"

Hebal sighed putting her arm on Zadina's shoulder "Don't frown like that Zadina, it's not cool. When your a little older you'll realise sometimes it's just not possible to make a clean cut between someone who is good and someone thats evil. I mean look at Oassu, he does mean things like steal stuff but he isn't a mean guy" she tried to explain jumping up in surprise as firework went off behind her. "Hehe I totally wasn't expecting that but if you see into the future you get no surprises and personally I love surprises" she giggled picking Zadina up and flinging him onto her shoulder.

Seph shrugged gently pushing a somewhat reluctant Chobi onto the nearest esculator "Nah I don't need that much rest since I have had all day to recover, 5 or 6 hours sleep would be pretty good to have though. Although our first fight may be very hard you know, some unlucky guy will have to face last years champion in the first round of the tournament" she pointed out stroking chobi's wings calming her down.

Oassu smiled "Well maybe not but I think they'll have their own little methods, Ciddy widdy better learn em if he ever wants a girlfriend" he said "But we just need to tire him out during the day which if he keeps bouncing like that shouldn't be hard".

Gil smiled sipping his wine "I guess....I should hope I don't need to fight in deep water seeing as you can't breathe there." he said looking up at the fireworks "But I did enjoy the last time you took me swimming at Tricasia...it might not be so bad" he said.

Mari blushed "Maybe it was from another village in the area....I didn't do much reading in my time anyway but if they need me back we can go just so there's no trouble" she sighed "I think Sophia is sleepy anyway" she said noting Sophia sway from side to side sleepily.

Zadina giggled clinging onto Hebal "I guess so but I thought the Dark people who captured you were really nasty and stuff, I figured that they kept hunting you and that Neliel lady was part of them and she wasnt nice either..." he said

Itaka nodded "I guess so, would be embaressing though I suppose we have missed a good deal of the preliminaries you know?" he said "But I'm pretty sure I'll do fine, might even get to fight Gil" he laughed patting Chobi.
