Felina shrugged taking a big drink "I really don't see why they would get something, none of them are technically realted to royalty as it's only through marriage that my dad is their uncle unlike Zadina and Kurgan. Still if we ever stop by their town I'll introduce you to everyone, would be a lot less formal than the last time and nobody would stare too much at yo" she grinned ignoring the slight pain in her tummy.
Satoshi laughed at Hebal's thought giving her a satisfied nod as she ran to keep up "Ok ok fair enough I would probably spend it on something really shiny, miles or fabric or on a painting that wasn't done by myself" she told them slowing down a little upon seeing she was well ahead of Gil "Is Enkidu even able to keep up with this speed by the way?"
Alanu frowned a little glancing back at Hebal shaking Zadina "Don't stress... I suppose if things really get tough on your legs Satoshi could teleport us down to the station?" she pondered stopping again for the others "Nothing wrong with wanting to buy something for yourself. You earned it making all the dresses. Whats your armour insulated with by the way" she curiously asked Gil.

Oassu sighed "Maybe it doesn't make sense to you but...it'd just seem to be so awkward and unfair to me, you could have like a favourite aunt who was in the poorhouse but you were royalty" he said while his clone rubbed Felina's stomach gently "Still I bet most of your family are cool, did they visit often like Zadina and Kurgan?" he asked.
Gil laughed speeding up "Are you kidding? Enkidu is very fast probably much faster than any of us, most dogs are when they want to be" he said as Enkidu overtook them all keeping up with Alanu. "And I couldn't tell you what my armour is insulated with, the ancient moogle told me it was a secret....and so he didn't tell me, I just trusted him it was good" he shrugged.
Itaka smiled dipping his hand under the water "You certainly know how to put your tail to good use and yeah they do," he said looking up at the ceiling "They aren't good with magic so they promote the battle stuff they are good at makes sense right?" he said.
Mari giggled "That sounds like a great idea but I'd rather have a suit of armour like Gil's if I had that kinda money, what kinda painting would you like Satoshi?" she asked.
Zadina blushed "Sorry Miss Hebal it was rude of me" he said kissing her ear and hugging it in apology "And that big ice cream idea sounds absolutely wonderful" he cheered.

Hebal smiled glancing up briefly at Zadina "Hehe it's ok, I wasn't being all that serious with you there. You could probably afford a giant ice cream if you wanted to with all that family fortune you have and then you'll get more things like that when you get older and become a lord" she quietly laughed scooping up Enkidu in her arms "We might not have enough for shiny stuff for ya Satoshi but you can certainly get the other two things"
Seph grinned and slowly nodded her head "Yeah I guess you have a point but some variety would be good for them. That poor chocobo race track looks like it gets no funding whatsoever in comparsion to these arenas for example. Theres got to be other sports they aren't bad at either" she pondered.

Felina smiled but shook her head "They aren't from the poor house if thats what you are thinking. Mum came from a quite well off family who made a fortune out of renting out stables for horses, dragons and chocobos. But they didn't come to the palace as often as Zadina and Kurgan though we visited them more often. " she reassured him leaning back slightly on her chair.
Satoshi snickered making a sharp turn to avoid a confused bangaa who had only recently passed through the gate "Fair enough I suppose though he's not going to be running for a while now Hebal has hold of him" she muttered moving in between Gil and Mari "I dunno yet. You know it's more that if I see a picture I like I would get it but off the top of my head something cute or colourful or both"
Alanu chuckled holding the exit gate open for everyone "Yeah right, a secret... that either means there is no secret and he doesn't want to mention it or whatever is being used is something that you probably wouldn't like to know about" she stated tapping her armour while she waited.

Oassu nodded "Ok I see, I guess your mother would have trouble meeting a guy like your dad if she wasn't high society" he chuckled "Still nice to know you visited them regularly" he said happily.
Gil nodded somewhat surprised by the ease with which Hebal carried Zadina AND Enkidu "Well thats certainly an unusual sight but you'll probably be able to buy lots of things, we'll take a look through some art gallaries and see if there's something you'd like" he said.
Mari frowned "Well maybe the moogle who made Gil's armour was protecting like an ancient family secret, there's no need to be so sceptical" she sighed hearing Alanu's suggestion "There used to be an armourer in my town that was like that" she explained.
Zadina giggled patting a confused Enkidu "Well maybe but being a lord sounds really dull, I wanna travel the world with Amane!" he said "Though I suppose a little money to help with that would be useful" he said.
Itaka smiled leaning over to kiss Seph "You'd probably beat them in any sport they choose" he said "And the chocobo race track wasn't THAT bad" he defended the track "Most don't look great anyway the amount of litter lying around em" he said.

Seph sighed returning the kiss "Yeah I guess your right about that. Though it doesn't cost much money to simply hire a couple of cleaners to sort that problem out. But a lot of the equipment looked somewhat outdated from what I saw on the race track" she told him shuffling forwards "Now come on, I'm far from perfect sports wise so I highly doubt I could beat them at everything"
Hebal shrugged holding Enkidu up higher making it easier for Zadina to pet him "It can't all be that boring being a lord though what am I saying, you won't be one cause Kurgan is the oldest. I guess you can travel away and he'll be more than willing to support you I bet" she grinned zooming past Alanu and the gate almost forgetting to stop and wait. "I myself am an armourer you know ad I don't like telling people what stuff goes into my pieces. An armourer's worst nightmare is finding someone else stealing your ideas and trademark styles"

Felina smiled to herself recalling some of her favourite visits "Yeah it was good to visit them and despite the fact dad always insisted that those cousins were a bad influence on us he still let us go back and play. Couldnt go constantly though since they moved to a town somewhat further away. It was my aunt who surprised everyone in the family, she ended up getting married to a butcher"
Satoshi laughed sensing that Gil was somewhat surprised "Heh Hebal always manages to pull off something unexpected when she wants to. But tell me, are you ok with art galleries and the like? I know quite a few people who find them really boring and don't enjoy them" she asked realising she never asked the question before.
Alanu rolled her eyes slightly but smiled as they passed "Ok ok I'll take your word for it but there are quite a lot of frauds out there nowerdays you know? Or at least in the sky cities there are. You need to go down the esculator 6 levels before you see the airship bus station by the way"

Oassu smiled "Your dad is just silly and I think you're the one who has surprised everyone by marrying a human thief," he said putting an arm around her "An incredibly sexy human thief" his clone added kissing Felina's neck before snuggling into her.
Gil shrugged stepping onto the esculator "Well I've never been in an Art gallery before so I can't really say, I do enjoy your art after all so maybe it's ok" he said happily.
Mari nodded "Well maybe here but as far as I've seen most armourers are ok, everyone knows everyone in my town anyway so if someone was a cheat he'd be swiftly found out." she said.
Itaka sighed "Meh maybe but you seem perfect to me, fit, beautiful, strong, fast" he chuckled "I don't see why you would lose to those Gria at any of their sports" he said nuzzling her.
Zadina smiled reaching down to pet Enkidu happily "Yeahup just need to find my brother wherever he is," he chirped "And I hope no one has tried to copy your work before Miss Hebal" he said concerned.

Hebal nodded her head but kept on skipping towards the esculator "Yep one of my old assistants once tried to steal my work but I totally punished her for it with a pounding! Plus she forgot I kept all my original ideas written down and stuff with dates on" she cheerfully told Zadina "Frauds suck like that but they always get whats coming to them in the end"
Seph shivered shaking her head "I can't aim a bow or anything for that matter so field athletics is generally off for me. Also can't do relay very well since the way you have to pass the baton things causes me to dig my claws into people" she explained further, her purring getting louder.

Felina laughed ruffling the clone's hair "That you are though no need to get too cocky. I bet half the kingdom is still in shock about that one considering the long list of potential husbands all the noblemen tried to come up with. Kept trying and failing to pressurise dad to marry me off to some other ruler" she muttered playing with her straw "Besides almost all the elves think your a merchant and not a thief"
Satoshi nodded her head uncertainly while leaving the complex "You'll be fine I think so long as the paintings are actually any good because some weird art freaks will buy anything if the right description is put next to it even if theres been almost no effort to the picture" she stated grabbing hold of Terrato who had been swinging back and forth on Gil's lower arm as he ran
Alanu frowned finally letting go of the gate then moved back onto the lead "I hope they did get punished for idea stealing but how did everyone else react to people like that, would they just be all mean and ignore them or chase them out of town... never lived in a place where everyone nows everyone you see."

Oassu smirked "I'm glad I beat them all then" he said finishing his drink "And they'll have to find out the truth someday....hopefully when I'm rich enough they won't care so long as I support you" he said.
Gil chuckled "He's been having fun there still sure I'll go to an art gallery with you, what's important to you is also important to me" he said placing some arms around her.
Mari blushed "Well...actually our laws are pretty strict regarding such dishonour. They seek to prevent fake armourers doing their work since armour is a vital and important part of our culture so someone like that would have their hands cut off and the wounds burned to seal them up" she said
Zadina squirmed a little "That sounds really gross Miss Mari but I didn't know you had assistants Miss Hebal. You totally don't need them since I know you still do wonderful work" he said hugging her head.
Itaka smiled "Well you could always use your human form for the relay but archery is a dull sport in my opinion anyway, though it does make me wonder if Felina or Hayate has ever tried anything like that" he mused kissing Seph's face.

Seph sighed happily shuffling backwards for a second while she shifted into her human form "It's not the same running around like this. For one it's far colder, secondly they all wear silly clothes and third you can't run in bear feet cause the ground becomes too hard" she muttered moving back to where she previously stood "Felina's been too overprotected to do anything related to sport I bet but Hayate might have"
Hebal gulping turning many heads as she let out a loud "Ewww" as she stepped onto the esculator. "Thats a little gross for a punishment I think. Hehe but sure I don't need em but if you've got a lot of orders you are still expected to have them done in a few days so extra hands speed things up loads."

Felina nodded pulling both Oassu's into a hug "Yeah hopefully so. I'm not going to be in a hurry to break the news to everybody, also there really wasn't much to be as half the suggested rulers weren't the slightest bit attractive. One was even a really fat bangaa" she shuddered.
Satoshi smiled enjoying the company while they weren't having to run "Thats really nice of you to say. I know loads of people who would disagree on that" she muttered looking away from the side of the esculator "We'll have to see how much money has been made before picking a gallery and I will want to get something small for those two sellers... any ideas what?"
Alanu shrugged not too bothered by the description "Ok thats a little harsh but it would ensure they wouldn't do it again. I take it your from one of those eastern continents that value honour a lot? I must say punishments like that really put judges into sticky spots as to what to do"

Oassu frowned "Hmm Bangaa always struck me as lean and muscly but you got the best deal with me I think" he said snuggling Felina along with his clone.
Gil nodded "You could always just admire the art even if you can't afford any and I think almost any reward would make Hebal happy....especially if it's something really sweet" he chuckled.
Mari nodded "I suppose you could say that....though I have no concept of what this world is like so I'm not sure if I'm in the East or not" she said "And whereabouts do Judges have to deal with that? I don't ever recall any in my town." he said.
Itaka smiled "You look just as sexy in human form," he said kissing her head where her horns used to be "And you don't need to run barefoot in races, that's what running shoes are for and the clothes keep you warm" he chuckled "We ain't all bad" he smirked.
Zadina frowned "I suppose so it does seem a relatively harsh punishment though but he is putting the lives of those he makes armour for at risk I guess" he said uncertainly.

Seph groaned watching her hands the patted herself down, in particular where her wings and tail would normally appear "But I feel all soft and squishy in this form. I don't like it so much and clothes and runnish shoes are all uncomfy and generally sweaty" she complained continuing examine herself "Does it not feel weird seeing me looking completely different?"
Hebal smiled patting Mari on the top of her head "Yep yep your a south eastern girl geography wise. Unlike me cause I'm originally from a pretty central area and this place is kinda towards the north west. I suppose it can be dangerous if in specific fields but theres a load worse crimes people could do that are more dangerous so I hate to think what their punishments would be"
