Welcome to Gaia! ::

Felina nodded playing with her food before taking abother big bite from it "Yeah there was the odd airship but not nearly as good or as many as their are now. Airships could only fly short distences so that was just the start of her great escape. You would have to ask her about the rest" she giggled putting her hand in front of Cid to stop him trying to nibble at the remaining egg.

Satoshi nodded in return but glanced around making sure no moogles were about "Yeah I know I know, plus if I can disarm him at least once that will shoot up the points in my favour. But no, I can't say I have encountered any moogle nights while on my travels. But I do have a stuffed one on my bed back home" she remembered.

Hayate shook his head deciding he had enough for his breakfast "They don't directly but they are shockingly influential on all administration systems in Yithra. The only people who can really out influence some of them are the royals but you know what old people are like. Have so many negative stereotypes associated with things for example all teenagers are thugs or all people from this area are scruffy etc. I think a few of them may have been mugged on a holiday thinking about it" he pondered pouring himself a coffee.

Yusti snickered watching in amusement the frightened thief below "Yeah we should be moving, you need to know where your fighting and to hand Sophia to me. Alternatively hand Sophia to Hebal and I'll just give you directions for the battle against Cririos Wipaeimamo" she gave Mari the choice before turning back to Seph and Itaka "Neither of you are fighting last years champion yet since he passed this round yesterday. The champion calls himself Hirashiro but never mentioned a last name. Come to think of it he wears similar clothes to the lady who was with Gil."

Hebal yawned making the final jump down to the level of the arena then skipped along the wall until they got to the entrance she wanted "Hehe yep, I am thinking of buying some pretty flowers to put into our stall or line I may line it all up with lots of fancy ribbons. Keep your eyes peeled for our pals now" she instructed peeking through the gates not daring to try and get past the guards.

Seph paused slipping down on Chobi's back behind Itaka "I dunno theres a whole lot of things you and we could do to pass the time but I suppose a good bit of training or a trip to the gym would be rather good" she answered kissing his shoulders and the back of his neck. "Do you mean the champion wears dresses of body suits" she added to Yusti with a sall smirk

Oassu smiled as he finished his sundae "That was great you know" he chuckled "Yeah I suppose, she always seemed so strict and uptight when I was there maybe once your bro is born she'll loosen up a bit" he said.

Gil frowned "Rare indeed, should be an interesting challenge but no I don't use any specific tactics, you gotta change it depending on whoever you fight." he said "Garif however are strong fighters, their masks are impressive works no?" he said waving to the Garif as they passed.

Mari frowned "You ok Yusti, you seemed a little uncomfortable back there. Seph and Itaka may look a little scary but they be big softies deep down for each other" she said "Still thats really cool you've got several arena's under the other" he said.

Zadina giggled "Maybe we should just wait those guards don't look very friendly" he said noting the rare male guard duo standing on the gates "They look pretty tough I wouldn't want us to be carried away you know" he said.

Itaka smiled shivering slightly as Seph kissed his back "Well why don't we hit the training field where everyone else was practicing you know" he said "Or we could go to the gym for a little private practice if you like" he said flying Chobi higher over the arena away from the crowd.

Felina rubbed her head feeling the brain freeze start to kick in "I think she will loosen up a bit and will be a whole lot happier with her new found freedom but I am ready to go now. Still if you want to take a shower I don't mind waiting for you, I can think of pleanty ways to entertain myself" she added remembering Oassu was yet to use the bathroom

Satoshi looked back taking one last glimpse of the garif knowing she might not get to see another for a long time if at all "Yeah the masks are pretty cool, I wonder what they look like without them. Perhaps filled with battle scars? But I guess your right about changing strategies thing oh great teacher Gilgamesh" she chuckled spotting the gates ahead.

Yusti shook her head at Mari increasing their height "Nah I wasn't that uncomfortable. It was more that curiousity came over me and when that happens I tend to go quiet and get lost in thought" she answered suddenly flying over the arena and diving down underneith to reveal the second one "This is the only other arena see? Smaller than the one above but will be used less once the competition narrows down"

Hayate, seeing Barbaros hadn't finished choosing his breakfast headed back to the table deciding out of hunger to start without his friend

Satoshi chuckled reaching up to tap Gil's helment "I guess but I just have this belief that those who wear masks and helments all the time to the point of almost never taking it off have something to hide. But your right, we get treat with a lot more respect here. I don't mean like because we are famous they all are extra nice, I mean how they just let us get on with whatever and don't pester us too much" she aded waving to Hebal whose ears she could see sticking out over everyone elses.

Felina smiled picking up Cid once he had eaten and placed him on the bed "Knock yourself out in there... only not literally. The plalce came with all sorts of free soaps and shampoo of the like which I plan to nick for the airship when we leave" she said bouncing Cid on the matress.

Hayate nodded neatly dicing up his bacon into squares "It's a pretty good plan for when I can get the time off, maybe somewhere really cold and ice would be a good place to go since I am sick of all the hot weather thats been around plus it's been ages since I had a good skiing trip" he planned out playing with the food.

Yusti swerved around the arena then pulled herself back up in the direction Mari saw her friends "It's not really an exclusive one if we know in advance. It's more a spare arena because as the tournament got bigger and bigger we were having trouble squeezing everyone into it. During the rest of the year it goes almost unused" she muttered preparing to land next to Hebal and Zadina.

Zadina giggled "I suppose but he's wearing all that armour he can't exactly take it off." he said waving to Sophia as she hovered above who waved back happily.

Itaka smiled sighing happily as Seph massaged his chest "Thats nice but don't get too arrogant, your not the only talented swordsman here even if you are the most beautiful one" he said stroking Seph's legs.

Gil raised an eyebrow "Oh really? I hope you don't feel that way with me but I'm not liking the look of this lot..." he said pointing to the crowd that was gathering.

Barbaros raised an eyebrow "Cold and ice? Not for me, I've got nothing against hot weather really it's quite nice could do with a vacation to Tricasia again." he said.

Oassu nodded "Well thats how some thieves start out, think those soaps and stuff ain't free then bam they're stealing allsorts of things from hotel rooms." he chuckled

Mari nodded waving to her friends "Still seems nice, oh by the way how on earth does your city fly in the sky like this Miss Yusti?" she asked smiling as she heard Hebal's cheer.

Satoshi also frowned seeing the group waiting for them but pulled Gil back and around the side of one of the buildings "Shh stay here a moment, I know a good way of dealing with these guys" she told him going back to get Enkidu to hide with them. Once completely under cover she summoned three clones then forced two of them to transform into Gil and Enkidu "Watch and learn how a ninja would escape" she snickered.

Yusti frowned watching the clones run past the gate preparing for the clones soon scratching her head seeing the Satoshi clone mouth to them to stay put then take off with the others allowing themselves to be chased by the crowd "Ok that was just weird, I've no idea what they are thinking doing that but yeah I got the permit you need" she said passing the card to Hebal but jumped back noticing the real Gil and Satoshi reemerge from their hiding place "Ok I am not going to ask about that and pretend I didn't see it... the city is held together by magic"

Felina giggled almost bouncing Cid off the bed by accident "Ooops sorry Ciddy" she apologised playing with his tail "They sound like pretty stupid thieves if thats how they start out. I mean only an idiot would steal lots of free stuff" she remarked hoping Oassu didn't do that after she said it.

Hayate rolled his eye at Barbaros while he was eating in disagreement "Tricasia is pretty boring if you ask me I mean you can watch the odd fight on at their stadium but other than that the only things you can really do are swim in the sea and sunbathe on the beach. Somewhere up north like Philexand would be far more entertaining and it's just far enough away to be ignored by the people of Kimino's clan."
