Hayate sighed shaking his head rapidly at Alpha "Nah it's really nothing you would be interested in, trust me. But yes there are one or two ladies I know who live in Kunec. Met them on my last trip here which was more formal than this and involved delivering a signed agreement between us and them to form an allience but enough about that anyway" he dismissed it moving ahead to speak to the gria at the reception desk in her own language.
Felina quietly laughed pulling Oassu into a hug as they walked "Nah there may be the odd one or two high class types but the rest will all be either businessmen or celebrities. Businessmen are just like any other person you would encounter on the street only richer. Celebrities... sometimes they are nice other times they are totally up their own butts. You never know until you meet them" she whispered trying to forget the last time she had the red wine.

Barbaros chuckled "Some nice Gria ladies could be just what you need old man, you ever hear about the interesting activities at the top of the city?" he said nudging Alpha knowingly.
Oassu smiled "If only my arm wasn't busted half of them wouldn't leave with their wallets but...I'm not exactly as rich as them or as...cultured" he murmered quietly returning Felina's hug "I might not...fit in you know?" he said.
Zadina frowned "I'd think a kitty would be less responsibility than a tonberry but alright Miss Hebal if you say so," he said thinking for a moment "Ummm what is Amane's favourite creature then?" he asked blushing slightly.
Itaka blushed a little as Seph sat on his leg but refilled her glass again before drinking his own "Thats what the screen is for after all, you'll be world famous and you'll definately draw the fans if thats all your gonna wear tommorow" he said nudging the slight armour she wore during the day "And you'll need to find a place to keep Chobi too" he said focusing on the bubbles so as not to look at Seph's body.

Hebal frowned almost regretting what she says "No no not a tonberry for a first pet, those are not domestic ones so would be a super challenge to look after. Amane's favourite creature is the red squirrel, it always has been since she likes both the fur colour and the bush tail" she told him wondering why Zadina was blushing.
Alpha hung back handing his papers over to the gria at the desk then allowed Hayate to do the rest of the talking "I have a basic idea but I haven't really explored enough of the top levels of the city to be 100% sure Ba-Bobo" he whispered shuffling around on the spot "You need to hand your papers in too" he quickly reminded his friend.
Seph turned herself around peeking behind Itaka and through the door to see that Chobi had settled down and was drifting to sleep on the blankets in the other room "I think Chobi is doing ok here don't ya think. Plus the people told us it would be safer if we kept her indoors with us and I don't want anything bad to happen to her" she told him with a small hug "I bet you'll be drawing a crowd in yourself regardless of what armor you wear" she grinned splashing back under the water

Felina smiled back stealing Oassu's beret and placed in on her own head "Don't worry about how much you fit in or not all the time because if you did blend in perfectly with all the upper class posh tosh people then I probably wouldn't love you as much as I do now" she reassured him patting his shoulder gently "Oh and trust me, you are a lot more cultured than most of those guys who probably haven't seen what life is like outside of cities, you're more of a globe trotter"
Hayate bowed to the gria then took the keys and a little red box from her and went back to his friends "Right thats all settled but she insisted that the red box here was left for us earlier that day which basically means they kicked a couple of people out for us to stay here" he whispered to them once he had pulled Alpha and Barbaros out of the main lobby "Our room is up the stairs and the first room we come to on the left2 he added giving them a set of keys each.

Oassu nodded "I guess so, but still it'll be alright with you, you can help me out I'm sure but maybe we should stick with globetrotter for my career since thief wouldn't go down too well I'm sure" he said.
Barbaros handed his papers over and raised an eyebrow at the box accepting his keys. "Oh uh...a hidden bonus maybe?" he said once they were away from the desk Wonder whats in it?" he pondered
Zadina giggled "Mari does alright with Sophia though but sure I could get her a red squirrel for a pet!" he cheered before thinking for a moment "Not exactly a domestic animal...it might not be happy as a pet...." he sighed.
Itaka tensed up as Seph turned and hugged him but he returned it all the same breathing a sigh of relief as Seph dived under the water. "Fine but you'll need to check on Chobi during the day, she'll be awfully bored in here and she'll need feeding" he said glancing back at a snoozing Chobi.

Hebal smiled patting Zadina on the head "Aww don't be like that Zadina, the thought is nice enough. Amane also likes little colourful birds and parrots but you don't need to go getting her a pet you know" she told him hugging one of his legs hanging down from her shoulder "Actually Sophia is a real challende, I mean she tried using karma or someting on Seph earlieer"
Alpha took the box from Hayate and gave it a good shake while he climbed the stairs to the room "I dunno whats inside... it could be anything plus it's locked so we can't open the box anyway" he complained attempting to peek through the keyhole causing him to almost trip of the steps due to lack of concentration.
Seph sighed lying on her front trying to get her tail out of the water "Yeah I know I'll have to keep coming back for her today, means I won't get as much as a rest tomorrow as I would like. Still I could always take her for a run and maybe ask one of our friends to keep an eye on her for a bit if I happened to see one" she smiled resisting the temptation to get out and place a blanket over her pet.

Felina laughed continuing past the hostel they decided against getting rooms for "Yeah thief wouldn't go down a treat there, would certainly put them on edge and their hands by their wallets if you did mention it" she agreed skipping alongside Oassu "How about we stick to that story we used in yithra of you being a merchant so we don't get mixed up in future"
Hayate scratched his head watching what Alpha was doing with the box "If you really want to know whats inside then we can pick the lock once inside the room, may look suspicious if we do it here" he answered taking the box back to give it a good shake "Well it's nothing too heavy so unlikely to be gil or gold... not that big either from the sound of it" he muttered reaching the top of the stairs and shoved his key into the door.

Oassu nodded "Yeah that should work, though we're going to have to tell your parents one day in case they go investigating themselves you know" he laughed.
Barbaros nodded "Yeah just give us a minute we'll unlock this for you, better than just leaving it here" he said opening the door once Hayate unlocked it "Hahaha maybe it'll have a gambler's spirit in it" he joked.
Zadina nodded "I guess thats fair enough, tonberries are kinda scary anyway but wouldn't a bright little parrot be a great present for her when I get to see her again?" he said looking down at Hebal.
Itaka nodded "Well you can always rest here, and if we don't get beat up too much tommorow we can check out the restaurant, besides you might only get one fight against a rookie, then you'll have loads of free time to play with Chobi" he said admiring Seph's wings.

Seph smiled stretching her wings out so that they skimmed across the water surface. "Yeah and hopefully they will allow Chobi into the resturant with us or else I'll have to throw a bit of a strop until they do agree to let her in" she chuckled dipping her tail back into the water "I hope I dont spend all day beating up rookies but at least it won't stay easy forever"
Alpha snickered taking a look around their new room "Hmm... this place isn't so bad I guess if a little small. But it would be pretty awesome if it was a gamblers spirit but somehow I don't think any of us are that lucky but it could still be something similar. Hope it's valuble all the same" he answered hopefully before rushing into the bathroom.
Hebal nodded in response smiling at the thought of Amane growing up with a bright rainbow coloured parrot perched on her shoulder all the time "Yeah, that would be a totally awesome present to give her next time you see her but it may be a while until then but if all goes well the elders may let her join me for the dragon festival but realistically I don't think they will" she sighed.

Felina giggled leaning in closer to Oassu "Hehe well... actually dad already knows about you being a thief, so does Corella meaning only mum and Elithana will need to be told eventually. I'll leave dad to decide when would be a good time to tell them that one though" she whispered into his ear cheerfully then gave it a kiss.
Hayate chuckled sitting down on an armchair sitting in the corner of the room with a ciffee table "This place is fine for space Alpha so don't be grumpy" he called to him through the bathroom door on the way. "Hey Barbaros, have you got anyting on you we can use to pick the lock? I don't have anything thin enough" he asked putting his feet up.

Oassu raised an eyebrow "How did he find out, he'll have a hard time telling your mum thats for sure, she'd be bad about it." he said glancing at the inn as they passed "Thats your place Hebal, Zadina" he said pointing to it "Room for Miss Amelia and her adopted son, Ziggy" he said glancing at the papers before handing it to Hebal.
Barbaros reached into his pocket before pulling out a lock pick and tossing it to Hayate "Knock yourself out" he said lieing down on the bed "Good thing there's a few chairs here, we can sleep in those and do a rotation thing so someone gets the bed" he said.
Itaka nodded "You might get last years' champion or Gil tommorow for all I know, but you'll really struggle to get Chobi in....she might run off and eat someone else's food" he said stroking Seph's tail under the water.
Zadina frowned "You should go and see Miss Amane for the dragon festival, you could take me too! We could have great fun to celebrate and the parrot could be her present from me!" he said excitedly.

Seph laughed wagging her tail against the bubbles almost sinking as a result "Yeah I guess she could be a bit difficult but there were tables outside, we can always eat in that area so if Chobi isn't allowed in we can at least keep an eye on her" she planned out swimming over to the side to finish off her second drink.
Hebal cheered seeing where their inn was "Hehe ok then we shall see you tomorrow maybe, come visit our clothes stall outside the arena tomorrow afternoon" she told the remaining party members with a wave before turning around and skipping towards the building "Come on Ziggy let's get ourselves a nice place to stay. I can't say for sure my dragon festival plans yet and we have to see what the others are doing. Plus uncle Ellie may wanna see you"

Hayate placed the box and the lock pick up to his eye, concentrating on getting the box open "Yeah sounds like an ok thing to do and I guess since your already on it, you can get the bed this night" he muttered listening to the lock of the box making a clicking sound. "Right lets see whats in here, the contents of this box is... a pair of false teeth" he groaned deciding against picking the object up "Wait... and theres some kind of key underneith" he added noticing something under the teeth.
Felina smiled and waved her friend and cousin off before turning back to Oassu "And so we have all pretty much scattered and gone our separate ways for next couple of days. Dad's always known you were a thief, ever since he got the reports on the incident with Narasaela. Still theres bound to be a decent time to sit mum down and tell her before we get back."

Barbaros frowned "Odd stuff to store but maybe you'd better just leave that on the desk, someone might try and come back for it you know" he said relaxing on the bed.
Oassu frowned "Wonder how he figured it out" he said waving them off and whistling to Jenna to keep up "Well if you say so, her pregnancy is gonna take up most of that time though so she'll be all hormonal and stuff, and while your dad understands, your mum might have a problem with me lieing to her." he said.
Zadina nodded "I could spend christmas at the palace but I'd rather spend it with you and Amane, maybe I could buy that little green chicobo to take back to my auntie!" he said waving to his cousin "Mind you she'll probably want an egg to nurture rather than one already growing..." he mused.

Itaka nodded "Sure, would be a shame to ruin Chobi's freedom in this city by cooping her up all day, she'll probably miss Boco too eventually but it won't be that long we'll keep her fresh and happy" he reassured Seph refilling his glass.
