Hebal nodded proud to have surprised Mari "Hehe not everything you understand, most people things can't be copied because one hasn't the basic skills to perform a complex move one has observed so I couldn't learn any big sword things. But I could learn the odd cool spear thing that I were to see" she explained wishing she brought her weapon to show them a move she had learned.
Seph smiled dropping down to the ground now the resturant was in sight "Ooh well this place looks quite classy don't ya think? And who knows what will happen with me and Itaka in future, got pleanty time to go about and have a life and I'm in no hurry to rush through things" she concluded scratching her older wing.
Alpha chuckled at Itaka's reaction and extended his hand to wave at the final members of the party "Oh I never said it were but I would assume one of you would notice if the airship started shaking violently or began to descend at an alarmingly fast rate to work out something might be a bit off. Even your chocobo would be able to work all that out"

Satoshi nodded examining the entrence of the resturant in attempt to work out what sort of food would be on offer "Ooh I hope they have some fish, haven't had that in forever. Better to be safe than sorry and it might not be injuries she heals up, she could sort you out if you ever had a fever or something which would mean nobody would have to nurse you.
Elithana tutted and wagged a finger at Zadina "Don't even think about becoming a pirate Zadina. Father would have a fit and probably your brother would too. Plus we would never see you which would be a shame too. Though when in Yithra just ask for me and I'll take you out and about and maybe even to explore deeper into the forest"
Hayate said nothing for a moment as he rubbed his eye "I highly doubt pirating was high on Zadina's career list of plans though I would say that but he is perfectly capable of taking on the stronger fiends that live in the uninhabited areas of the forest" he stated thinking particularly about the bulkier fiends.
Udoaver grunted disapprovingly "Well thats her choice but would be a waste of a skill if she didn't do anything with it. But like I said I'll say something to her and conveniently end up sitting relatively near enough to her to have a conversation. Just in return keep on stealing the spotlight so I get an easy life with the other elves" he added jokingly.
Felina smiled and nodded her head with approval "Thanks and will do since we're only going to keep going on adventures. I'm glad the others managed to find this place already but I guess that means we will have no gria guests afterall" she muttered waving to the pair.

Gil smiled "Yeah I think I'll give the fish a pass though not my thing" he said stretching his non-hugging arms "Still that's true getting sick is never great though I certainly wouldn't mind a little nursing from you" he chuckled.
Zadina frowned "Of course not! And sure I could take some of those little monsters I'm a super mage" he said proudly "Oooh look there's the restaurant good thing too I'm getting hungry" he said.
Oassu nodded "Well her skills are fine as is but no Gria guests means more room for General Dysocu and you Udoaver" he said patting Felina on the back.
Mari nodded "Yeah it looks nice, wonder what sorts of food they'll have here" she said patting Sophia "I really hope they let her in" she mumbled quietly.
Itaka nodded "Yeah Yeah I'm sure we'd all come running and get shouting at you afterwards, maybe that would make Hayate a bit more lenient towards taking a night shift" he chuckled liking the look of the restaurant.

Hebal shrugged patting Sophia "Well why not hide her in your bad while you go in. I'll bet they won't want to cause a fuss once we are sitting down and dining with the royals. Otherwise we could just sneak bits of food to her under the table or something" she calmly planned.
Seph scratched her chin uncertain about whether she could be of any help "I could put her in my bag if you like and it has food already if things get real bad. Only... she might get lost in there somewhere since its practically without a bottom inside. From what I heared about this place is that it does a bit of everything in all you can eat mix and match quantities so hopefully it will be good" she informed Mari while she licked her lips.
Alpha yawned smiling as the scene came into his mind "Would keep you all on your toes since we are getting a bit relaxed at the moment. Though you are more than welcome to give Hayate a good talking to about it. Hell I would give you a big shiny emerald I'm that confident you couldn't do it"

Satoshi snickered patting Gil's shoulder "I bet you wouldn't mind having my attention all day everyday if you were unwell but I would rather it didn't come to that as you are far more fun when active and you don't have to eat the fish and if you don't get a choice you can always feed me it"
Hayate smiled taking half a second to make note of the resturant "Looks like a cosy place. You should be able to take out some of the bigger forest fiends out with your abilities. Theres a whole load you don't see further into the uninhabited areas... like a giant scorpion layer for example"
Elithana rolled her eyes "Stop trying to scare Zadina and put him off coming home even if it is true about the layer. The scorpions never leave their caves and the best people around take care of the big fiends. Moving on... I'm rather hungry myself so can't wait to be seated" she changed the subject.
Felina nodded speeding up in response to the rumblings of her tummy "Yeah and with Elithana bringing fewer members of the army than planned it means we won't have to add two tables together afterall which will save us a load of difficulty. Speaking of Dysocu, he's being rather quiet isn't he" she remarked glancing back at the general who was walking at the back of the group.
"It's because he is perfectly aware that out of everone here, he is the one who is the least welcome within the group. You know like nobody invited him, more he has to go because its a duty and because of that he's probably keeping quiet so the fact he is watching you the whole time is as far in the back of your mind as possible" Udoaver explained.

Gil chuckled "Yeah yeah though I don't think I even want to touch the fish" he said greeting Jenna as they arrived "Hey Jenna I trust you've had a good holiday here?" he asked.
Jenna smirked and twirled in a new expensive looking dress "Certainly, bunch of rich tourists show up for this tournament and I'm more than happy to loosen their pockets" she chuckled petting Boco who was tethered to a fence beside her.
Zadina frowned "I bet I could take any old fiends lying around the forest but we don't need to they rarely attack anyway" he said shrugging.
Oassu nodded "You're right about that still he seemed nice enough last time we met....what should we do?" he asked Felina "Don't want him feeling all left out and stuff" he said.
Itaka chuckled greeting Barbaros with a hug "Took your time mon, my stomach was getting all thin ya?" the bigger man chuckled releasing him "Nice to see you too ol Alpha, how's life on the ship? Is my baby ok?" he asked moving away from the door causing the small Grian porter to relax a little.
Itaka smiled "Well he's had ups and downs there but it all looks very good, you might be able to get your own room for tinkering with stuff on your cannon and bike" he said
Mari nodded "I think we'll just try that, they wouldn't want to cause a royal upset after all but no offence I'm not putting her in your bag Seph it just sounds a little dangerous for a little tonberry in there" she giggled kissing Sophia before popping her in her bag quietly.

Alpha smirked wating by the door for the rest of the group to catch up "Well the moogles despite ones efforts failed to floor the area so your bike is in perfect condition but the ships a mess inside since theres furnature to clear our and the bathrooms just been installed. Itaka's already tested the hot tub out with Seph and you have no idea how many moogles wanted permission to tinker with that bike" he chuckled.
Seph laughed nodding her head after a moments thought "You're probably right since I keep blades in there and she might wanted into the wrong area since she's so little plus I think theres a tonberry knife in there" she shuddered moving forward to pet Boco's beak while giving Jenna a polite nod.
Hebal grinned happy to have come up witha nice idea "Yeahuh think of all the money and riches they would be missing out on if they sent us all away" she whispered sniffing the air around her "Oooh theres all kinds of wonderful smells going on around here, I hope you like honey because thats one thing I can pick out probably from the desserts"

Satoshi burst out laughing unable to hold in her amusement any longer "Fish aren't toxic if you touch them and nor do they bite you know but if need be I guess I'll pick it up myself" she answered giving him a gentle nudge on the chest "Hey there Jenna, I like the new coat. Did you buy it from the earnings you've made here so far" she asked lowering her voice somewhat.
Hayate shrugged "Some of the more hostile fiends attack but the army is very good at keeping them at bay so you don't need to worry about any of that but seeing as Elithana wishes for us to move on from this topic... I hope they have some nice spicy food in here, preferable of the hotter variety"
Elithana groaned in disgust at the thought "Eww I don't get how you can like hot and spicy foods athat make you all thirsty. I would prefer a nice chewy slab of meat if its available on the menu. But tell me, is that chocobo with your group for he is certainly an impressive boy" she stated admiring the bird.
Udoaver paused briefly thinking over a few possible solutions "It's not my decision and all but if you want him more involved you could simply tell him you don't mind his presence and would rather he spoke up and got more comfortable. Most soldiers are happy to let their guard down a little when told to. It's just assumed that the people they have to watchover do not like to be reminded of the extra person in case people complain"
Felina rubbed her ear uncertainly "Well he has a point about how most people expect their bodyguards to stay silent and out the way so we could do that. Also we could either invite him into our conversation or encourage him to talk to some of the other members of the group. What do you think to that" she asked Oassu in return.

Jenna smirked proudly "Yep yep, the Chocobo race track is a great place to go pocket diving" she said happily "Though I hear the police here are really tough so I think I'll take it easy from now on" she said.
Gil nodded "Yeah fortunately for you most of the law enforcement will be focused on the arena they've been having trouble with people trying to rig the match I bet this place is locked down tight normally" he said before whispering to Satoshi "For the record some fish are toxic to touch" he said.
Zadina nodded "Yep that black chocobo is Boco he's Miss Jenna's steed" he said patting Boco's side "He's a mega battle chocobo and is super tough though Chobi cheats when they play tig" he giggled recalling Chobi flying.
Oassu shrugged "I dunno I think he might get on with Alpha and the more combat minded folks besides would let me relax a bit knowing he had someone to distract him from us...it's a bit unnerving having him glare at me from behind my back" he whispered.
Barbaros' face turned stony "Well they betta not have touched my bike or cannon, only my kids and myself are allowed to tinker there" he said without a hint of humour "Anyway I saw your fight man, sorry about how it happened" he said clapping a hand on Itaka's shoulder
Itaka sighed "Yeah, we fought before and he held back, in hindsight it's something I should have picked up on but ugh....if only I had my real sword for a fight" he grunted
Mari giggled "Good thing too don't think she's ready for a proper knife yet" she said happily "And honey is good in desserts but Felina you guys should go first you made the booking after all" she called to them.

Hebal giggled quietly to herself before hopping up to Oassu and Felina pulling them away from Udoaver to get to the front of the group "There now get sorting cause we are all mega hungry... you'll be pleased to know Sephy that theres a lot of nice sugary treats being cooked... maybe you could identify the smells I don't recognise for me when inside" she suggested to Mari before returning briefly to push Oassu and Felina that little big closer to the inside.
Seph shook her head dreading the day Sophia would be given her first proper knife "Yeah she would probably wave it all over the place since she's just a baby and maybe even throw it across the room if we are very unlucky. I'm liking the sound of all the sugar I must admit"
Alpha smiled patting Barbaros on the shoulder "Don't worry, I kept your bike nicely locked away so moogles couldn't do anything with it while misbehaving. I do have some morals despite being a demon such as not touching other people's stuff. Anyway don't put yourself down about the match for I bet it was a tough opponant" he assured his companions.

Satoshi smirked whispering back to Gil "And that my dear Gil is why those fish never appear on seafood menus" then stuck her tongue out at him. Did you enter Boco into any of the races while you were there or was he more of a cover to help you get into the place" she asked further somewhat interested in what the thief had been up to.
Elithana blinked and gave Zadina a puzzled expression while she waited for Felina to sort the table out "Oh really, who is this Chobi chocobo? Is she another black chocobo that Jenna owns? He is a fine looking chocobo for sure, I know many a person who would kill for a bird that good" she stated approvingly.
Hayate yawned but smiled seeing Felina with Oassu being dragged forward by their enthusiastic viera friend "Chobi is actually Seph's chocobo though if you think Boco is impressive you should see Chobi's golden feathers. She always flies out of reach of Boco when playing tig" he explained.
Felina frowned managing to ask Udoaver in elvish to talk to Dysocu as Hebal dragged them forwards "Guess we will have to leave it to him to try and get Dysocu more involved within the group. I don't know about you but I didn't think the group would be so hungry" she muttered removing their reservation slip from her bag once free from Hebal while struggling to balence Cid in one hand "Umm a little help please?"
Udoaver raised an eyebrow at Hebal's behaviour but turned and exchanged a few words with the general before making his way over towards Seph and Mari "she's certainly an excitable viera isn't she? I thought they were all meant to be quiet peaceful folk" he stated quietly.
Dysocu looked around examining each group member before he would decide to speak to "It is a little hard to believe that someone with such a fearsome reputation could have such an issue against fish" he chuckled overhearing the whisperings.

Gil gasped turning around hearing Dysocu "Well it's only silly for a man to have no fears" he said extending a hand to Dysocu "Gilgamesh pleased to meet you, you're one of Princess Elithana's bodyguards aren't you?" he said
Jenna chuckled "This big lug isn't afraid of much from what I've seen from him I'd never put him down as a fish fearer" she said nudging Gil in the ribs before moving towards Elithana seeing her admiring Boco.
Zadina nodded "Yep yep Chobi is Miss Seph's mega golden chocobo though I hear she really belongs to Itaka originally, she's a really friendly one unlike Mr Boco" he said lining up behind Felina and Oassu.
Oassu raised an eyebrow momentarily before going "Oh" and taking Cid from Felina to help her get it "Should be ok and would mean we can relax a little more if he enjoys himself with the others" he said patting Cid "But no she's a real bundle of fun" he chuckled to Udoaver.
Itaka nodded "I know I know but whatever means I can take it easy now since I'm sure Gil or Seph will have the competition in the bag" he said stretching.
Mari giggled "No thanks Hebal I don't really like doing food analysis when I'm not cooking it's just stressful and I want to relax tonight" she said happily joining Hebal in the queue.
Barbaros nodded satisfied "Good thing too, not that I doubt moogle mechanics but don't want any surprises on my bike next time I ride it" he said "You need to get a fun competition for you to work out in Alpha" he said

Seph raised her etebrow tapping her foot impatiently as she waited "I would be more than happy to help you identify smells but you would have to be very good at describing them. Whys cooking so stressful anyway for you? I always thought it wasn't so bad as a casual past time activity and even a way to be social sometimes"
Hebal smiled happy to see Seph had at least agreed to her suggestion "I'll making cooking stuff far more fun when we do it together then but I won't guarentee the flavours not that its the most imporant bit or anything" she stated imagining the three of them baking "We still need to make ice cream... smehow"
Alpha scratched his head "What sort of competition? Would have to be good to motivate me to enter and I bet you wouldn't complain if you came back and your bike looked exactly the same only it could go twice as fast. And don't you go distracting Seph too much from fighting and don't forget to give Mari some support too" he added with a laugh to Itaka.

Satoshi laughed and nodded her agreement with Dysocu "It's not the only fear he has but the other one is far more understandable not that it matters too much. But nice to meet you umm... what do you prefer to be called, your a general or something right so should I use that to adress you" she wondered.
Dysocu shrugged shaking Gil's hand followed by Satoshi's "It's clowns which scare me but we won't go into all that. Moving on... for now I am acting as a bodyguard for it was an important visit to Kunec, but you are correct Miss, I am by title Grand General Dysocu but neither of you are in the army and I get sick of hearing those words so Dysocu will do name wise."
Hayate sighed tilting his head to see why they were still waiting "Chobi did belong to Itaka originally but he sort of put her on the table as a bet on a chocobo race between the two of them which he lost though I wouldn't be surprised if he had let her win. Anyway I don't want to see you running off with Boco for the sake of owning a good battle pet" he teased.
Elithana smirked shaking her head "With the amount of money I have I could pay a fortune for someone to specially breed me an amazing battle chocobo of my own if I wish. It would be mean to part one already around from his owner. I wouldn't have said no to seeing a gold chocobo but maybe you can show me Chobi when we next see eachother since no doubt we will in the not to distant future"
Udoaver rolled his eyes directing his attention away from Hebal and towards petting Cid "Nothing wrong with being fun, in fact its nice to see viera that aren't completely grumpy for a change. Do you need a hand there, you look like you're struggling a bit?" he asked Felina "Seems like you don't need me to tell Dysocu anything anyway, the old fart still has shockingly good hearing"
Felina smiled but shook her head "Nope I'm good thanks, Hebal is far from grumpy but also very hard to keep up with" she answered back putting her things back into her bag and handed the reservation slip to the doorman who gestured for them to go inside and be seatedl. "He probably heared you calling him an old fart too which you will probably be punished for later" she laughed.

Gil frowned a little embarrassed by Satoshi's comment "Well it's a pleasure to meet such a distinguished warrior I'm sure you've had a hard time back in Yithra must be good to get away for a little while" he said moving through the door while a waitress spying Gilgamesh rushed off to inform the chef. The doorwomen glanced uncertainly at Enkidu following but a stern glare from Gilgamesh quelled their thoughts.
Zadina nodded stepping inside waving goodbye to Boco "Yep apparantly Boco belonged to him as well but Miss Jenna took him with Barbaros permission when they went looking for Itaka" he explained.
"That I did and we did a great job bonding" Jenna intervened grinning widely at the princess "Name's Jenna it's an honour to meet you your highness" she said bowing politely.
Oassu nodded "How high up is Udoaver in the elven army? I don't quite know how your ranks work is he on par with Hayate?" he asked Felina realising how much elven military they had in their current group.
Mari shook her head gently pushing a curious Sophia back into her handbag while summoning Ivy from Alpha's hair to her bag to keep Sophia company "It's a pastime for many but remember for me it was a job, now when I cook for myself I enjoy it but I don't like going into serious analysis of food when I'm making it for other people just gives me a headache" she muttered.
Barbaros chuckled "One that isn't limited to sword you old fool!" he said ignoring the Gria staring at his open chest "It's a good thing this place has no dress code" he chuckled "Didn't stop you from dressing up though" he remarked addressing Itaka.
Itaka shrugged "I liked this suit and don't get to wear it much but sure I'll give them support....I might even put a little bet on Gilgamesh" he muttered quietly before Barbaros burst out laughing "Good plan! I've already got 1000 gil on him to win!" Barbaros grinned
