Felina scratched her head moving away slightly from the clone "Now now let's keep things appropriate" she tutted picking up the jumper she had knocked over "Shall we go and pay for the coat then? I pity the guy behind the till, he must have ladies pestering him constantly in the shop" she giggled.
Alanu smiled but shuddered a little at the thought of fancy events and tea parties "Sounds like a dull existence if thats all you did, were you from some kind of backward traditional society then? But what I meant was hiring a dark knight to tag along with you and the rest of the group"
The judgemaster slowly nodded making a note of the information "Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I sometimes forget to do basic things like that when not put in a good mood. I'm the judgemaster most well known as Evori though I have many different names. The next thing I need you to do is give us a descriprion of your attacker if you can"
Satoshi scratched her chin trying to think over any additional details she could think of but eventually had to give up "Sorry but I don't remember very much as their appearence was about as generic as it couls be; it was a viera with white hair dresses as a green mage. About 6 foot 3 at a guess" she muttered uncertainly "What are you going to do to investigate?"
Evori paused glancing down at the clock which had been attatched into her armor "Well in the short term.. based on the time I would say all the unoccupied cabins of the judges will have been searched by now, the rest will be done later. And based on the description we will start by searching the rooms of all registered viera. If that doesn't pull up anything then we'll have to do a few hotel and inn raids and look at airship records. You're not the first person to be effected so it's a big thing"

The clone blushed knowing he'd done wrong "I don't know I figure the Gria would come in here just now if there was a male shopkeep...though I did hear a rumour that mens shops reserved the right to forbid entry to women here..." he said.
Mari shook her head "It's not that bad, it's a cultural thing but hiring a dark knight would be up to the group since he'd need to travel on the airship and stuff" she said "And they might have their own commitments" she said
Gil sat down beside Satoshi and handed her a cup of milk offering the judgemaster one "You seem to be going pretty out of your way to catch this crook, had problems before?" he asked thinking it odd so many places had been investigated already.
Zadina nodded "I'm sure she'll be doing that as well, but we don't wanna take much from her, her friendship is enough right Miss Hebal? Besides didn't she make you a lovely dress already?" he asked.

Hebal nodded twice considering showing Zadina the dress until she realised it was drying off in their room "Yeah she made me a really nice blue dress. Made one for Mari too but it was red and got changed to black so she would like it more. Don't ya think it would be nice though if she had a little more time to paint pretty pictures as well? I haven't really seen much but she's meant to be good" she added quietly then gave Zadina a high five once the last customer was finished "Wooo! We made an awesome team going through those people but is it just me or are we growing in popularity?"

Felina frowned glancing back at she shopkeeper "I hope thats not the case or else I am going to be in trouble for not waiting outside. Oh well we shall find out soon enough and I bet it's not very often in this place you find a male only area" she whispered unsure whether or not to follow Oassu to the till.
Alanu shrugged unconvinced "Ok then if you say so though it still sounds not so great to me. Never mind that, if you do encounter a community of dark knights sometime let me know as I would be very surprised if there was one. Is your airship a reasonable size or is everyone cramped in?"
Evori nodded cautiously taking the milk from Gil "Thanks for the drink...theres always the occasional issue with the tournament due to the organised crime that exists in Kunec. The thing is because you actually saw the person who attacked you it is highly likely that within the next couple of days she will try and do a runner out the city. Anyway have you got any additional information you can add for me, like fur colour or markings or even voice?" she asked the ninja.
Satoshi paused accepting the milk from Gil and placed her arm around him "Umm ok then. She had light fur I think the type is veena if you want me to be specific but there were no scars or markings and she had quite a high pitched voice I guess" she sighed taking a drink

Oassu glanced back at Felina "I heard it was because of a big issue with Gria women harassing store clerks to the point they couldn't get any work done but what's the matter? Wanna buy something else?" he asked as the clone linked arms and patted Felina's ears apologetically.
Mari nodded "It should be a reasonable size when we get back, I'm not quite sure how we got the airship though. Alpha, another member of our group is currently modifying it so it should be quite cozy once we get back since everyone is rather cramped on it right now" she explained.
Gil smiled "You seem to be giving plenty of information Satoshi, I'm sure they'll be able to catch the perpetrator soon" he said placing an arm around Satoshi happily before removing his helmet so he could drink his milk.
Zadina nodded "She will have lots of time to paint now she's out of the tournament, or she could help us out here at the shop, maybe she could teach you some painting skills" he said to Hebal happily "And yes I think people are starting to quite like this shop" he chirped as the customer re-emerged from the dressing room to pay for the dress.

Hebal clapped her hands noticing another pair point out their stall specifically to visit "Hehe word must be spreading that we sell the awesome stuff, we are even attracting more people than the fake place over there" she answered cheerfully pointing out the empty stall opposite. "A painting lesson... could be quite fun but I think you should try it too if it goes ahead. Then you can add nice little illustrations to that book you keep writing in"

Felina shook her head shuffling forwards "Oh nothings wrong, I was just thinking shouldn't I be outside if this is a men only area. I don't know if that would be the reasoning behind it though. I would like to think the gria women have more self control and can be nicer than that" she answered patting the clones own ears in return
Alanu rubbed her horns while she took the information in "I take it this Alpha is your pilot or your mechanic or both then? Do you get your own rooms at least, or is the airship really too big for the amount of people who live on it? What kind of airship is it too" she asked starting to feel somewhat excited.
Satoshi smiled weakly still somewhat uncomfortable about being questionned "Thats the only details I can remember for now I'm sorry to say. Is there anything else that you need to know while you're here" she muttered trying to look over the judgemasters shoulder to check on her clones progress.
Evori smiled back at Satoshi and flicked over to a new page upon her notebook "I'll let you relax a little for now. I need to question you a little sir so may as well get that out the way. The most important question being do you have any enemies that match any part of her description?"

Oassu chuckled "I said I think it's only a rumour besides it may be Gria only as well or they may reserve the right to refuse entry but no one's told you to get out yet" he said kissing Felina's nose
Mari chuckled nervously blushing "Erm...I didn't even know airships had types" she admitted "And we don't get our own rooms we have to share but thats what the current renovations before though Alpha is our pilot" she nodded
Gil raised an eyebrow surprised that she wanted to question him "Enemies? Sure I guess I have a few but none that are Viera or are based in Kunec" he said sipping his own milk but kissing Satoshi's cheek and whispering "Good job" to Satoshi.
Zadina giggled "Yeah we're doing super good, it makes me really happy" he said skipping slightly "But I think I've got enough on my plate just now without art lessons I wanna start training with Sir Gil again!" he said eagerly.

Hebal grinned rubbing her eyes just to be sure another group this time of 10 had appeared to take a look at the goods "Fair enough I suppose. I can keep Satoshi occupied while you train and that way she can't be at all distracting" she whispered rubbing her hands together "And then afterwards when your all tough I could do an awesome picture of you fighting Gil"

Felina blushed realising she may have got carried away "Yeah I suppose you're right about that. The shop keeper would have to be really blind and have poor hearing to have not noticed me by now" she sighed slightly with relief "Do you need any thicker shirts or will the coat dofor you?"
Alanu smiled taking a moment to calm down "Sorry to bombard you with the questions. I sort of developed an interest in machinery plus my dad builds airships for a living in one of the moogle cities. Airships come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and different parts, I would show you mine sometime if I didn't think it would bore you" she concluded.
Evori slowly nodded scratching her horns "What about any enemies with links to Kunec? Or any with enough money to hire someone or any enemies that are part of an organisation. The same question goes to you Satoshi" she added leaning forwards.
Satoshi smiled squeezing one of Gil's hands then shifted her attention back to the questions "My enemy are ninja mainly but being a ninja myself I know for a fact that viera is not. Also a village would never hire a none ninja to do the dirty work" she shrugged almost staring down at her milk.

Oassu smiled as he and his clone cuddled Felina "Aww don't feel bad it's only understandable for that to cross your mind," he said happily as he and his clone kissed each of Felina's ears "Now this should do me fine do you need to go and get something?" he asked.
Mari sighed happily "Knowing Gria societies, males are rare and have lots of children right? You must have a really big family then?" she asked curiously "And I didn't know you had your own airship....why do you need it?" she asked perplexed as to why a winged creature would need an airship.
Gil blushed hanging his head slightly "Well...I've got enemies with enough money to hire mercenaries but none of them even know Satoshi" he said worried he was to blame.
Zadina's eyes widened at the mass customer arrival "I suppose so but I doubt I'll ever really be good enough to fight against a legend such as Sir Gil, plenty of good swordsmen have already fought him in the arena and lost" he said.

Hebal snickered picking up on Zadina's reaction "Yeahuh maybe so but none of those sword people have been trained by the legend himself so you'll be at an awesome advantage. Don't panic at all the new customers though, it's not likely all of them will buy and if they do it's' not so bad"

Felina's face turned redder but shook her head "No not from here. I would like to go have a look in some of the womens shops if you're sorted and don't mind having to wait around. you may want to try and hold back from stealing stuff where I shop as security tends to be tighter than the average shop" she answered thinking of the designer shops in particular.
Alanu laughed and nodded her head "I have about 3 brothers, 11 sisters, 39 half sisters and 1 half brother. It's an average sized family but dad chose to stick around with me and my siblings as 3 boys in one family is extremely lucky. In answer to your other question, I like airships. You can travel faster in an airship as it doesn't need to take frequent rest stops"
Evori cleared her throat thinking she may have said too much "Ok, what I'm going to do is leave you for now and leave you with that question to think about. The only thing to mention for now is that your cabin will be stationed with a pair of guards in case of a second attack and we are now going to interrogate your opponant. I'll return in the morning to continue this conversation" she stated then swiftly let herself out so not to give anyone the opportunity to protest to the guards.
Satoshi frowned despite the relief from not having to answer anything else "Well that was weird of her to go out like that but I suppose she's got a lot of new leads to go by. I don't think she's suggesting it's your fault there. More having to consider it from every angle" she reassured Gil lying back onto the bed.

Oassu nodded "I wasn't planning on taking anything today anyway you know?" he said moving to the counter "Though we should probably pay for this now..." he said noting the impatient clerk while his clone smiled seeing Felina blush.
Mari gasped "Wow thats a super big family, I'm glad your dad stayed around with you since I imagine there's lots of people that don't have fathers and stuff still you might like Alpha then if you love airships so much" she said.
Gil frowned "I think she's blaming me..." he grumbled upset before lieing back beside Satoshi "I really hope one of my old enemies isn't out to get you...I don't think it is though, if it was a hit job then it seems odd that the objective was only to disqualify you from the tournament" he said debating whether or not to remove his armour again.
Zadina nodded "I suppose so but I still wouldn't want to fight Sir Gil, I just want to be able to help you all better and later on I can help Amane and the others too!" he said happily.

Hebal gasped surprised that in a matter of seconds their neatly organised display of dresses had been ruined by the customers lifting them up and turning them over without putting them back properly "Ooh the messy customers" she muttered quietly to herself trying to rearrange things "Your already of awesome help with your powerful magical spells you know. And Amane already thinks your really cool, she told me that on her last letter plus she managed to find you a gift for the dragon festival"
