Oassu frowned "Sounds like you had trouble with one, couldn't you just tell your dad you didn't need a bodyguard? I mean you managed to go travelling on your own without one." he said.
Gil nodded entering the door and taking a menu "Well what if it was just a straight run? No obstacles on the track?" he asked ordering himself the breakfast at the counter.
Zadina nodded "Besides don't you think Satoshi's dresses are really lovely and stuff?" he said examining a blue one on the table "It's a shame the bust is so big on all of them otherwise maybe I wouldn't need to resize everyone." he said.
Itaka chuckled propping himself up on his elbows "Oh and that wouldn't be my fault I can't help it if your so comfortable with me" he said lying back "Still your cooking is pretty good, filled me up well" he said.

Seph smiled proudly quickly changing back into her armor now breakfast was over "Thanks. I always thought my cooking was pretty average but then again I never try and cook long and complicated recipes because the whole activity is just boring and I never have the time for it" she chuckled sitting back down on the end of the bed.
Hebal nodded holding one of the dresses to see what Zadina had meant "Hehe yeah I know what you mean about that but don't forget how much height varies too. And it's not Satoshi's fault that she grew to be such an unusual shape for her build" she laughed watching a bunch of tourists going for a pair of fake designer shoes "I bet ya any money those fall apart within 10minutes of use"

Felina grinned turning Oassu left in the direction she believed they needed to travel in "I don't exactly need them now but that was all before I took off. Dad was all like blah blah blah you need them because the world is full of nasty people who would be more than willing to hurt, kill or kidnap you blah blah blah. The lecture just got tiring after hearing it so many times. It's great not having them which makes me happy I ignored what he said" she chuckled.
Satoshi moved to the side asking a second lady at the counter for an omelette "It would be easier for you but I still think we could beat ya. Running is the kind of thing you've got to practice every other day at least when not being somewhat lazy like myself. Anyway what do you fancy having for breakfast?" she wondered.
Yusti nodded holding another dress against herself having to hover above the ground so it wouldn't drag across the floor "Yeah the height things is a bit of an issue too. As you can see this is way to big for a person like me, just as it wuld be way too small for someone like Hebal. Sure those sandals will fall apart soon enough or the nice fancy label may just peel off instead... enough of that anyway it would appear we have a first potential buyers" she muttered then moved forward to greet the customers.

Oassu smiled "Yeah besides you're more than capable of looking after yourself now, you think anyone else would've came with Elithana or are these diplomacy missions just one-man things?" he said as they approached the tower.
Gil chuckled "Alright I bet you ninja's are great at running happy now?" he smiled "I just ordered the full breakfast still shall we go sit up top then?" he asked noticing some stairs leading to the roof
Zadina frowned "Shouldn't we stop her if she's going to be selling fake counterfeit goods?" he asked Yusti uncertainly before adding to the customers "All dresses can be customised and modified to fit you right here if something is off about it" he explained.
Itaka smiled closing his eyes happily "Your cooking is fine for simple things like that which is all you really need, we've got Mari an Hayate if we ever need anything fancy but what's your favourite food?" he asked.

Seph paused carefully considering the question "Hmm.... theres actually quite a lot of food I really really like. I love noodles and pastry and garuda meat for savoury things. My favourite sweet foods are chocolate fudge cake, strawberry cheesecake and a nice hot slice of apple pie" she eventually answered bouncing up and down on the spot "Not that I can make any of those, so now it's your turn to state yours"
Hebal nodded greeting a second customer with a smile "Yep if you want to try a dress on we can size it up or down for you and if you need any other assistence feel free to ask" she added taking a step back from the blue dresses she had been looking at "I bet those people will be busted in no time for selling stuff like that, don't you worry Zadina"

Felina scratched her heas gazing up at the tower "I don't think she will have come alone with loads of bodyguards. Diplomacy jobs tend to go far more efficiently when theres fewer people around for all kinds od reasons I won't go into. Knowing Elithana she will have gone with... no more than 3 officers from her unit and at one more elite soldier like one of the generals" she predicted ignoring the signs stating there were no tours today.
Satoshi nodded pulling Gil up the stairs by the hand and settled for one of the tables overlooking the street rather than the alleyways "Yep I am very happy now, you've got other stronger points like physical strength so I bet you aren't too fussed" she grinned sitting down on one the closest chair.
Yusti sighed unsure what to tell the others "Actually theres no law saying you can't sell stuff like that in this country. If the customers complained however they could be busted because although it's not illegal to sell fake brand stuff it isn't legal to claim they are genuine when they aren't or not refund faulty goods."

Oassu smiled "Seems about what I expected" he said noting the sign "You think they'll allow us in to see her? Seems like they ain't wanting visitors today and we're not really here to help out with the diplomacy are we?" he asked.
Gil smiled pouring out some food for Enkidu into a small bowl once they got upstairs "I've got plenty of strength and endurance that's for sure but it might not be too bad trying to go a little faster, for one thing if I wore less armour you could have more contact with me" he said.
Zadina frowned "I think that's a little better but oh well she won't make much money if she claims they are real" he said secretly contemplating casting a spell to ruin her business and thinking what spells would be best.
Itaka smiled "I quite like Hoy Sin Duck you know but I'll see if I can learn something about cooking what you like you know?" he said stretching in the bed "You seem very happy and excited" he said sleepily.

Hebal turned around crossing her arms slightly huffishly "Aww well in that case your laws can be so poopy at times and I bet all the designer companies aren't your best friend" she complained flopping down in the seat next to Sophia's "Lets just ignore them for now and wow everyone else away, you know what we need? Like a couple of model stands to show off one or two at the front of the stall"
Seph grinned nodding her head with satisfaction "Not a bad favourite food. Now that I can actually cook when I have time. Yeah I am quite excited about today and finally facing a challenge in this tournament unlike you... you seem surprisingly indifferent about today. either that or lacking in energy or both" she told him patting his feet.

Felina smiled back shaking her head "No they probably won't and we aren't here to help. However, they wouldn't be able to just ignore my presence. I mean what a rude statement it would send for them to listen to one of the kings daughters and then completely ignore the other one" she pointed out descending the steps to the tower "Hmm... well theres a couple of elves in our military uniform hanging around the steps so maybe it would be better to ask them first"
Satoshi nodded cutting her omlette into smaller pieces "Yeah that is true but it's not so bad at the moment since you don't go wearing it all that often when not going about on a days work. I think that first you should try and get more comfortable with deep water and then maybe I could teach you how to walk on top of it if you don't want to try swimming ever"
Yusti couldn't help but snickere a little at her friends responses "Hey, no more huffing and puffing and frowning for now ok? Sure it's sucky but we've gotta look all super and happy in order to make things nicer for the customers. I can see what you mean Hebal, a mannequin or two would probably help in drawing a few more people in.

Oassu nodded "Your probably right but you can do the talking, your the one with all the authority around here" he chuckled "So are all those elves high-ranking officers guarding Elithana?" he asked.
Gil smiled asking the waitress for a bowl of water and a glass of orange juice as she brought his breakfast "Well maybe I will try....but I can swim to a small degree, we were ok that day on the beach remember?" he said cutting into his breakfast.
Zadina nodded in agreement "Well you two could always wear the dresses you know? I could customise some for your measurements then you could advertise them since I don't know where we'd get manikins." he said.
Itaka nodded "Well mine's still got time and it's hard to care when you're this comfy" he sighed "Though I suppose I don't expect it'll be much of a challenge still" he said yawning.

Hebal hesitated resisting the temptation to take one or two unused objects from the dodgy stall they had been discussing "Wearing what you sell... that could work so long as I don't overdo it on the jumping today. In that case I want... this one!" she speedily decided by picking the first bright red dress she could find that wasn't too revealing.
Seph tutted "Aww you've got to stop being negative about the tournament or you porbably won't find much of a challenge until fighting one of us or when you lose. All you've gotta do is show a little optimism but you kow, you'll have to head out half an hour after my match. Any chance you could take Chobi to the stables when you go down?" she asked playing with his toes.

Felina paused examining the small group of elves "Well... it's a bit hard to see from here since the uniforms are so similar to me regardless of rank but lets see... the two on the left are captains. The one sitting down on the right is a major" she told him stepping forward to initiate a conversation in elvish. After a few minutes of exchanging information she turned back around to Oassu to explain "Basically most of the talks are over and Elithana is inside and has to wait until 3pm to hear the presidents final decision and sign a few papers. We are ok to go in if escorted by one of these guys"
Satoshi gave Gil a tumbs up to show she remembered while she requested a glass of milk from the waitress along with a small portion of bacon "Oh I know you can swim but I was thinking if you can walk across it then you won't have any risk of sinking... that and I think you would find it a fun little ability" she answered digging her hand into her bag to wake Terrato then placed him on the table "Your ordering for Enkidu made me remember to get him something. It makes me feel a little bad I forgot to order for him too"
Yusti paused glacing at her own clothes and then at the dresses "I suppose I could wear one of those for a while but when I leave for work I'll have to change back so can't advertise. Shame since the judges uniform can be so boring" she remarked picking out one of the lime green dresses "I'll go for this one and get changed once the customers are done trying stuff on"

Oassu smiled "Seems fine for me but thats gonna be a while before she's free...is it really that hard to establish an alliance?" he asked with a sigh glancing at them "They all look so important....though I'm surprised she didn't take her boyfriend with her." he said
Gil chuckled "I always have some food for Enkidu on me as for water just need to get that where ever I go" he said patting Enkidu "As for this guy it's his own fault for being so sleepy otherwise he coulda let you known he was hungry" he said poking the snake gently.
Zadina smiled "Sure and maybe Miss Satoshi will let you keep the dresses if you are very good at selling things for her....maybe she'd even make me a nice cloak or something" he pondered scratching his chin while he waited for the customers to finish.
Itaka chuckled "I'm not pessimistic about it just confident it'll probably be great but yeah I'll take Chobi with me but shouldn't she have something to eat before she goes out?" he asked.

Seph nodded indicating to Chobi who had been so quiet due to being head first into a bucket in the corner of the room "I already fed her this morning and as you can see she had pleanty left over she's willing to eat. But sure it will be great just you wait and see and if today isn't much better all the semi finals and the like are next"
Hebal scratched her head imagining Zadina in as fancy clothing as she could think of "I dunno like... I'm not sure if Satoshi is really into making man clothing but you can always ask her if she will. You'll look stylish if she does make you a cloak. You need to add some accessories to your uniform so it won't look so bad" she added to Yusti.

Felina nodded her head trying to ignore the glances from the soldiers waiting to know what she wanted to do next "Yeah making alliences is a big thing because you have to make sure that both sides get something out of it. Her boyfriend has to oversee all the rebuilding work in one district of Yithra so can't come, anyway pick which one of these guys you want to come with us since I can't decide"
Satoshi snickered watching Terrato almost jump up and hiss at Gil in surprise "Just ignore him, he's just moody because he doesn't like being woken up, he'll get over it after some food so don't worry" she reassured him swishing her fork about in the air "You should take some water with you too, you know in case theres ever a draught or your in a desert"
Yusti shook her head swiftly moving into the changing rooms once the customer had finished and decided the dress wasn't for her "Nah, theres a very strict dress code saying all of that isn't allowed but if you really dislike that you can always dispute it with Mei. that said I wouldn't recommed that option"
