Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, I was just taught it in school you know. It was like I was told Agralian is the most common language in the world as it used to be a major world empire in history so I would be stupid not to learn it. I found it realy boring and for a long time my pronunciation was all over the place" Felina laughed squinting to make out the menu choices.

Satoshi smiled patting Gil on the shoulder "Heh I guess we have a habbit of attracting the attention of rich people but maybe you can get another one somewhere or get Felina to ask her dad where she got one for you so well fitting. Still a tux would be a little much for tonight. A nice shirt would do just fine and trousers I bet is never a problem for you"

Alanu grinned giving her hair a good shake "Thanks, doesn't look its best after wearing a helmet though and my hair is probabky nothing special to you since your elf friends have blue hair too if much lighter than mine" she pointed out tapping Ivy gently with her little finger.

Seph's grin widened giving Itaka a playful splash "Yeah it may sound disgusting but at the end of the day it's like the most obvious way to tell if you've been working really really hard in the arena" she smirked returning his kiss. "But first, we need to finish what we started before trying new things" she added moving around her slightly confused chocobo.

Hebal giggled choosing to bounce forwards and slightly closer to one of the elf shop windows "You elves can wear capes and stuff without anyone complaining about it all along with all kinds of funky colourful robes! But let me try and rephrase, most of the gria clothes look just practical rather than super stunning like the stuff Satoshi makes."

The clone smiled "Sorry my love you were just so beautiful I couldn't concentrate on anything else" he said kissing her arm before ceasing his snuggle "Yeah well what do you think of this place anyway? And we don't use slang too much do we?" the real Oassu asked surprised.

Gil shrugged "I'd do it in private, naked" he said glancing at the shops Satoshi was indicating "Sure this trip isn't JUST for me after all though I hope these shops allow Enkidu inside" he said observing one shop with a sign saying no pets.

Mari grinned broadly "Wow that's really cool they'd just give you such an expensive suit, is it kind of like a graduation present? And is judge school really expensive to attend?" she asked sipping a potion.

Itaka nodded patting Chobi before continuing to wash her "Yeahup nothing like a good bath after a hard day in the arena though you might need a good wash too since you've been fighting all day as well" he said.

Zadina nodded gripping Hebal slightly tighter as she bounced so he could stay balanced "And yeah I guess so but maybe even something funky and bangaa-made sized down of course would be cool on her still we'll need to get her loads of things" he said.

Felina blushed scanning the menu one last time "The food looks ok to me here but... I don't think it's something that everyone would really enjoy since theres not a lot of variety" she decided moving away "Your not so bad but you do occasionally use funny words. You only get taught full on proper Agralian in classes, the most formal kind"

Satoshi cleared her throat throwing the mental image Gil had placed in her head to one side for the moment "Well... the main focus of the trip is you but maybe you could just hide Enkidu up someones top or something or in a bag? Even if not they would struggle to enforce such a rule on you because you would be so big and intimidating. Or they may just have massive respect for you"

Alanu paused but nodded her head at Mari "It's about 100K a month unless you get a sponsor or have a scholarship. I did so most of my fees were payed by the Kunec city police under the conditions that when I graduated I was stationed here. Others like Yusti just came from rich families who payed for them. You get your armour upon graduating though it can go up to 10million gil in value. How much your armour is worth depends again on whether or not you can afford to pay a little extra for some fancier stuff. Mines pretty standard" she went on handing the helmet to Mari for a closer look.

Seph nodded stroking Chobi's neck while taking note of her feathers starting to shine "I bet it's a lot nicer than how it was for you. I don't know how you wound up in such a situation but I'm glad you came out of it in one piece. Did you end up fighting many gria while there or were other gladiators like your main target" she wondered continuing to stroke his leg.

Hebal giggled patting Zadina on the head "Nah your not smelly at present but boys tend to get really dirty from playing with mud and bugs and stuff and as a result go smelly. Theres a rumour in one of the viera villages staying in that men only bathed twice a year not that I think it's accurate. But no lime green cause I know that shade doesn't suit Amane"

Oassu nodded "He does have quite an accent I guess but I didn't know elves had a variety of accents, you all sounds so complex and elegant to me" he said.

Gil chuckled "I guess so but don't worry Enkidu can just go in the street, if it's a number two I can clean up when we get back" he said happily "And would your clones be ok looking after Sophia?" he asked

Mari smiled "What if they had replacement armour lined up and stuff? Or is it just that they absolutely need to have their original set of armour at all times?" she asked spotting a human menswear shop "Shall we stop there?" she asked the group.

Itaka shook his head "You remember what the Gria were like back then, spent most of their time in the skies isolated from everyone else" he said "I heard during the war the Gria allied with no one and only defended their cities probably why some races have difficulty bonding with them" he sighed happily "But yeah other gladiators, normally slaves, were my opponents" he said smiling as Seph stroked his leg.

Zadina nodded "Ok but thats a pretty icky rumour and ok what is Miss Amane's favourite colour in the whole wide world?" he asked "And yes that shop looks suitable Miss Mari" he said from his vantage point.

Felina laughed surprised by Oassu's remark "Hehe thats what you think since you don't know the language well enough. Since Shizuka and Hayate come from completely different parts of the worlds their accents are way different to mine you know" she informed him skipping away and forward down the street "Don't worry, you'll get used to it with a little bit of time and a bit more practice just listening to us talk"

Satoshi shrugged turbing towards the suggested shop "Looks like we have the first place to visit sorted out and if the worst comes to the worst, she uses karma and they go poof and we know shes alone and someone else needs to check up on her. Don't worry, things will be ok" she reassured him stroking his arm.

Alanu nodded flying slightly ahead and onto the steps leading into the shop "Yeah good find Mari! But a judges armour is his identity. Unless it was ground into scrap metal it would simply get repaired and given back to them. It's too expensive to replace just anyones and the new set wouldn't be payed for by someone else"

Seph grinned rubbing her hands together with pride "Oh yeah, she'll be attracting all the male chocobos with a coat of feathers that lovely I bet. Though I know the answer, the abyss formed gradually after sealing all the portals up and stuff and sealing off the demon king. The place where we thought him was directly above a portal so it's no wonder fiends managed to get out everywhere" she stated somewhat surprised herself that she knew so much.

Hebal laughed saluting Zadina in return "I bet she wouldn't complain about having a big pretty rock like that only my mummy might take it off her. And don't overdo all the gifts ot you'll fall over when carrying it. Oh and no puppies too since she can already summon a selection of cute furry animals to bring chaos to the village" she joked.
