Hebal skipped forward hearing her name being mentioned "Okay what is it you want me to make a decision on?" she asked spinning around to view Yusti's work "Ooh nice job, we totally need to keep that on cause I love it" she praised before going back to arranging the dresses "Don't worry about the crowd Gil, if they see you at this place they are totally gonna take a look this way!"
Zeath sighed putting Seph's tail under her foot realising that it had been slowly going for her leg to try and trip her up "Nice try with the tail. Very sneaky but it's not going to work like that. I wasn't born yesterday" she tutted releasing her tail then took the opportunity to lunge forward and force Seph backwards into the wall of the nearest building "Your friend is doing well by the way"
Seph gasped surprised by her opponants sudden attack but managed to gain enough of her breath back to hold up her sword defensively. She suddenly through her legs back just in time to project herself away from the building pushing Zeath away also as a result. "Thats nice to know but it's nothing unexpected. Itaka doesn't often lose" she panted jumping over an attack of her knees.

Satoshi glanced back at the crowds summoning a small army of clones to finish off the organisation for Hebal "Good timing for us then. Everyone you gotta stand back behind the stall now so everyone can see" she attempted to round them up now she had got the work done and dismissed her clones "Don't liten to Hebal, if you want to hide out for now away from those crowds feel free to do so Gil"
Yusti smiled moving out the way of the crowds pleased that her work had been appreciated "I'm glad you like it, it's just something I came up with on the spur of the mom-" she cut off producing a couple of sneezes "That smells very nice Zadina but maybe you could tone down the scent a little more, you know for ones who may get hay fever" she suggested bringing out a tissue.
Felina nodded guiding placing herself and Oassu into a float bubble then directed it over the heads of the moving crowds "Sure we can go watch the matches for some time this morning. I heared you only get seats for a few hours due to demand. Oh and I am sending us this way because it means we can get to one of the ticket offices a lot faster by not being stuck waiting for this lot to move" she giggled.
Hayate smirked shaking his head "Nah the poor bloke is a quarter dwarf, a quarter human and half elf. It's not very often you see an elf under 5 foot so you can guess why he's a little self conscious when living in an area where over 90% of adults are at least 6 foot. Has Newport got good schooling then?"

Gil smiled "I'll stick around if you really want, might help you get a few customers just so long as I'm not really assaulted too much by them I'll just hide back here" he chuckled moving to the back of the stall.
Oassu smiled "We're so lazy travelling everywhere by bubble" he said "Though honestly I'll be surprised if we can even get tickets there this short notice, I imagine they'd be fully booked out you know" he said.
Barbaros laughed "Sounds like a weird combo but sure and yes Newport does. A city at sea it's pristine and thrives off of fishing. Lots of Nu Mou live and teach there and it's generally the best place to send your kids if you can afford it." he said.
Zadina frowned "I think if people have hay fever the sheer amount of flowers will put them off but sure I can tone it down a little Miss Yusti" he said casting a little spell to deactivate the previous one.
Arian groaned "Knave perhaps I didn't give you enough credit before, but it matters not you shall not triumph here!" he said flicking his sword out to the side as it caught alight.
Itaka frowned raising his sword to eye level and running his hand along the blunt blade mimicing the flametongue sword technique "Wow your really not holding back for this fight, you must be pretty confident in your abilities to burn yourself out on me" he grinned raising his sword to parry and strike from the knight. Arian grinned using the momentum from the parry to leap over Itaka and attack his back as he landed leaving a brief burn mark down his back causing Itaka to leap forward in pain and surprise before turning to face Arian angrily.

Hebal thanked Satoshi then leapt over the stall to fetch Zadina and take him round to the other side "Sorry about that, but we gotta look all prepared and professional" she whispered as the first wave of people began shuffling past the stall "Hiya, please ask if you need assistence" she smiled happy to see they already had one potential customer.
Zeath growled glancing over at Itaka and Arian's fight almost earning herself a blow to the back of the head by Seph's blade "Umm... Do you know that guy? He really looks like he wants to kill that Itaka" she muttered turning back into her current battle but kept an eye on what was going on suspiciously when she thought she could.
Seph shrugged peering over Zeath's shoulder while their swords clashed against eachother "No we don't know him but something seems off about that last attack. I mean theres nothing to gain from using the flame thing since the tournament doesn't allow you to use any special abilities but we'll see how it goes. You just need to start concentrating more on the fight than your nicey paladin ways" she smirked using the moment as an opportunity to vault over her and take a strike from behind.

Felina shrugged sticking her tongue out at a particulally grumpy lady who was shouting abouse and shaking her fist at them for floating over their heads "It's not so much being lazy, it's more being speedy so that we can actually have a chance of buying what little tickets there are left. Plus if todays are sold out we can always buy tomorrows or the day after tomorrows etc" she chirped bouncing up and down in the bubble.
Satoshi bent down signalling for Enkidu to follow them behind the stall just in time for the first customer or two "Hey don't let the large crowds stop you having fun today. All the main hardore fans are still chasing after that clone of you" she reassured him allowing Terrato to slither up onto Gil "Heh even if I don't agree, I think Terrato wants to keep a low profile too"
Yusti grinned giving Zadina a thumbs up "Thanks for that kid, and the thought was quite nice" she praised him with a pat on the head "The crowd won't attack you silly. Not when we are standing right next to a guard house. If they did they try and attack and harrass you they would all be shoved on and arrested if really bad in a matter of minutes"
Hayate hesitated handing his empty plate to a passing member of staff who was clearing the empty plates for new arrivals "Yeah it sounds like a good thing to do for your kids. Nu mu's are pretty smart but isn't one of your kids into mechanics and engineering and the like? No offence to the them but they are all academics. You need to go to the moogles if you want to learn the more hands on topics"

Oassu smiled "I guess we're not alone either so I don't know why she's angry" he said indicating the Gria flying above the crowd "We'll need to get a seat somewhere, maybe we could sneak in or something" he said.
Gil smiled patting Terrato as he sat on his arm "Fine fine I won't hide away so much but you should just sit back relax and watch the people buy your clothes." he said putting an arm around Satoshi.
Zadina nodded going over to the edge of the stall and sniffing the Gria's chocolate "Mmmmm your chocolate smells delicious miss!" he said hopping excitedly to see what else she had.
Barbaros shrugged "I guess your right but it's going to be hard getting them into the Moogle skycity I'm sure they can learn some theory in Newport what with all the ships and their designs that go in there." he said.
Itaka frowned rubbing his back Burnt slightly nothing a potion or cure spell won't fix he concluded to himself before turning his attention to Arian who was charging again. Raising his sword Itaka changed to the Liquid Steel technique before swinging at Arian and clashing swords. "What trickery is this?" the knight gasped as he saw his sword's flame extinguished by Itaka's blade. Itaka smiled pushing Arian back a little at spinning leaving a trail of water behind before striking Arian with the force of a hurricane sending him soaring through the air landing some feet away disrupting another group of fighters who looked on disapprovingly before moving away for some more room.

Hebal sighed seeing the first browser give the the dresses a quick glance over then leave "Aww she didn't seem to interested but oh well it's only the beginning" she muttered taking out a yoyo to play with while she waited for more people "Good to know all the crazy people will be put away but are there really that many guards around" she asked.
The gria smiled unaware of what Zadina was saying but getting the general meaning of the words by his tone she scooped up a small selection of her chocolates into a bag and handed it to him with the words "On the house" in her thick accent.
Zeath shook her head at Seph turning around just in time to block her attack "It's not against the rules so long as it is used properly. If it's used as a warrior ability rather than a blue mage one then it's a perfectly legal thing to do. I asked the head of the tournament that upon my arrival" she explained making her own sword glow a bright white light to demonstrate one of her abilities and to distract her opponant for a moment.
Seph blinked quickly glancing down at the bottom of the blade until it had stopped glowing "Seems a bit unfair to me but I guess it's to help out those with less swords or any disadvantage in comparison to others" she mumbled quietly shooting up into the air preparing for an opportunity to launch a diving attack but was also to catch a better glampse of what Itaka was doing.

Felina scratched her head giving Oassu a puzzled look "Surely there will be a seat assigned to our ticket so we don't have to worry about it" she pointed out shaking slightly as the bubble bounced off the side of a building "She's just angry and frustrated because she can't get around for people I guess" she suggested trying to be empathetic.
Satoshi smiled placing her own arm around Gil "Don't you literally want to sit down on one of those deck chairs? And if somebody for some strange reason wants to know more detailed stuff about how it's made I will be able to answer" she chuckled kissing Gil's lower arm then pulled him to one of the chairs and forced him down on it.
Yusti nodded but only gave some of her attention to Hebal while she listened to what the chocolate seller on the other stall was trying to say to Zadina "Yeah you would be surprised just how many guards actually sit inside that one little building, we aren't ones to take up much space. Oh and the gria basically says since your such a cute kid you can have some food free of charge" she translated properly for the elf.
Hayate smiled glancing over at the door then back at Barbaros deciding it would be polite to wait until his friend had finished eating before leaving "I guess unlike in Newport you can do the hands on things at any age so afterwards they could just move to a sky city and do any further learning there if they wanted. You'll just have to wait and see what sort of field your kids would prefer to work in"

Oassu laughed "Oh yeah I forgot we get ViP tickets don't we. We're like guaranteed a good place aren't we" he said surprised "Guess I'm not used to living your kinda lifestyle yet." he said.
Gil raised an eyebrow seeing Satoshi kiss his armour "Right...sure I guess I could sit down but if it's not as bad as Yusti says it is I could try and sell a few things maybe...." he said watching the people go by.
Zadina giggled "Well tell her thank you very much she's very pretty and..." he took a bite out of one of the chocolates "Her chocolates are super delicious!" he said before sitting down behind the counter to eat his chocolates.
Barbaros nodded "I guess, if any of them can afford to get to a skycity, I'm not buying EVERYTHING for them, after basic education they're on their own." he said finishing his yoghurt and stretching "Where to today? Check on Alpha? Watch a fight?" he asked.
Arian clamboured onto his feet again "Your sword technique is no match for me!" he insisted tracing a sword pattern in the air before slicing through the pattern sending sharp waves of wind at Itaka who parried them consecutively. "Come on, your going to need to do better than that if you want to last in this tournament." he said leaping forward and bringing his sword down on the spot Arian had moved away from at the last minute "Your going to burn out before the match at this rate" he smirked stepping back to block a counterattack from Arian.

Hebal grinned ruffling Zadina's hair a little jealous he got the free food "Aww your so lucky to get the free stuff, I bet it's because of your nice little elfy ears" she told him but stood to attention seeing a small group of elves stop by to take a look until an idea popped into her head "Ooh that reminds me of something we need to do" she remembered turning to Yusti and handing her a sheet of paper "could you write in lots of languages the following and stick it on the side of the stall; shapes and sizes are adjustable, ask a member of staff for assistance"
Zeath sighed moving to hide underneith the roof of one of the nearby buildings making it impossible to see where she was hiding with the intention of ambushing Seph when she came down looking for where she went. Seph on the other hand was reluctant to launch an attack with no target and perched herself on the nearest roof while she searched for Zeath unaware she was actually almost directly below

Felina smiled bouncing the bubble across the tops of buildings as a way of having fun "I would be surprised if you were. We don't exatly live a luxury lifestyle on the airship. Still if you don't like the more upclass lifestyle I don't mind taking it down a few notches" she said laughing as Cid bounced from wall to wall.
Satoshi grinned sitting down on the chair next to Gil "Oh really? I didn't think you were much of a business person or a seller but I am sure you'll surprise me. Still lets leave it a few minutes until the crowds have died down slightly or more people arrive. I personally am not too good at selling" she admitted.
Yusti smiled shouting over to the lady on the next stall exactly what Zadina had told her to say "Ha ha she's glad you liked them and hopes you have a good day selling stuff cause dresses aren't the most common things to be sold in these kind of stalls" she translated before getting to work on Hebal's sign.
Hayate nodded scratching his chin "Yeah I suppose you can't wrap em in cotton wool and pay for everything forever just so long as you don't support one more than the other but yeah I might go chack on Alpha. then watch a couple of matches and then take an airship out of town for the day to the next sky town along. What about you?"

Oassu smiled "I guess but I don't mind a comfy seat for the fights might see something good today" he said gasping suddenly as Cid landed on his stomach before taking off for the walls again.
Gil smiled "I suppose so you should try though, after all they are your dresses. You know em better than anyone else but I wonder where you get all the time for this." he said.
Zadina nodded looking to the elves who were interested and spoke in Elvish to them informing them of all the things Hebal had mentioned.
Barbaros frowned "You can do that? I wouldn't think the skycities would be so close to one another, I was thinking of heading by the moogle district again maybe pick up a souvenir for my kids" he said.
Itaka frowned slicing downwards to drive Arian away "Forget this, I'm tired of you" he growled blocking another attack with ease "Your only tiring yourself out" he said shifting himself to the side and striking Arian on the head "Besides if you continue like this you won't be conscious for your fight" he smirked booting the dazed Arian to the ground before turning away. "I...won't forget this...knave...we'll finish this in the ring" Arian growled getting back up before leaving the field.

Hebal giggled patting both Satoshi and Gil on the arms "Come on now chop chop you two. More customers are coming so get seeling and maybe use a clone to do some modelling at the back" she sung skipping around the chairs then hopped up to a curious looking viera "May I suggest that you would look really good in green, would go with your eyes" she told her happy to see the viera was genuinly taking an interest.
Seph glanced around concluding that the sudden disappearence of Zeath meant that she was somewhere close by below. She flew over to the next building then swooped down and through the streets until she came back around the streets. She grinned finally finding her opponant and stuck her blade out in her direction while she rushed forwards. Zeath gasped rolling out the way of the blow but turned around to see a small lump of hair on the ground where Seph's blade had caught it "Whew that was a close one" she sighed quickly tying her hair up then rushed after Seph

Felina frowned giving Oassu's tummy a rub "Are you ok there? Cid didn't hit you two hard did he?" she asked ducking out the bouncing rabbits way. "You will get a free meal and drink in the fancy seats too but if we stick around long enough we'll get to see our friends be awesome in battle. for now I'll speed out travel up" she answered concentrating on her bubble again for another few seonds.
Satoshi sighed getting up to sell but decided against the modelling for the time being "Ok ok Hebal I'm up so no more complaining" she chuckled spreading the dresses out some more "Well we end up spending lots of hours travelling and I usually get up really early, do a little bit of sewing when I go back to bed, I did a little last night actually"
Yusti yawned slapping the sigh onto the stall in between the flowers "Ok thats not going to be something you can easily miss but if you don't mind I'll take Sophia on a little flying trip while checking out the other competition" she said before taking off with the tonberry wrapped tightly in her arms.
Hayate smirked noticing the reaction he received out the corner of his eye "It's not a sky city, it's a town run by moogles. It's about an hour to get to by airship but necessary for gria with kids or for those who aren't good at flying long distences. Still what kind of souvenirs have you got in mind for them at the moogle place?"

Oassu smiled "I'm fine don't worry about me, he's probably just full of energy from waking up needs to work it off" he said catching Cid and cuddling him "You think they'll let pets in?" he asked.
Gil smiled "Fine fine but I don't know much about selling" he said "You should get a good nights sleep for your fight though, you need as much stamina as possible today" he scolded Satoshi lightly before taking a dress and holding it up "Umm so you want me to stand like this?" he asked Hebal.
Zadina waved Yusti off as Sophia wiggled happy to fly again before going to help Hebal "Yeah you would! I'm sure we've got a lovely dress that would work for you!" he insisted hopping up and down eagerly behind the counter.
Barbaros chuckled "I didn't know moogles lived on the ground still I'm thinking maybe some mechanical gizmo's or doohickey's moogles are great for that stuff what you gonna do in the town?" he asked.
