Seph smiled pulling Itaka in for a hug "That still sounds silly to me, though I could I guess fill a bag up with weights and shove it on my back while I fly for an idea of exercising" she pondered springing up from the bed. "Still Come on Itaka, don't want to keep the others waiting if we're trying to hitch a ride. Can make plenty fond memories in another room soon enough" she smirked.
Hebal let out a small "oooh" sound as she peeked over the paper given out "If I could make a suggestion, you should make spears be able to be used within the tournament so that way people like me wouldn't get left out" she stated resisting the urge to dooddle on the side of the paper with the spare pen.
Alpha snickered "Well I guessed that. On the other hand I bet theres pleanty Jenna knows that you don't even if the topic isn't geography. Funnily enough I think being a sky pirate is more my style than a sea pirate though can't think why heh. Need a pretty good metal detector to be digging up treasure chests on random beaches too"

Felina shook her head "Technically he's not a lord. Well he is in name but not in power since that usually gets passed on to the older sibling. But if Kurgan is not found in the next few years it will be concluded that he died and Zadina would inherit all the power" she whispered so the other group members wouldn't hear. "Inheritance is a really complicated system amongst the nobility"
Satoshi remained quiet trying to describe her experience on the form without going into too much detail over what had happened the day before. "Oh and Gil I should warn you that you're going to be staying in a one bedroom apartment so don't pack too much stuff with you due to lack of sapce" she reembered to tell him.
Evori nodded "Sure everyone should be filling these out, we just make people fill them in when they go to check out normally but it means you can be away whenever you fancy once done" she shrugged turning to Hebal "We are actually working on including more weapons next year such as spears but that means adding to the rule book and making sure its fair etc."

Oassu nodded "I understand I guess, hopefully it won't come down to that kinda thing, what kinda power does Kurgan have anyway as a lord of Yithra?" he said "Shame Zadina is kinda powerless in the meantime, he's still an active and special noble" he said.
Gil chuckled "I don't exactly have many belongings to my name most of what I need fits into this suit for travel though you'll need to have enough room for Enkidu to stay though he really only needs a patch of floor to sleep on" he said completely ignoring the optional ratings form.
Itaka returned the hug happily "See you understand but yeah gotta hitch a ride so no waiting around, do you have everything?" he asked going to pick up his back "If not then lets head out, only needed this anyway" he said
Barbaros shrugged "We used maps for treasure chests back then, would spend days with a crew digging up beaches otherwise" he said as he stepped onto buy a tickets "But I wasn't a pirate for long" he said waiting for the person in fron of him to finish
Jenna nodded "You've got all the resources necessary to become a sky pirate if you wanted though attacking and robbing airships sounds dangerous since most tend to have some good weaponry on them at least by Agralia's standards" she said.

Seph nodded "Sure I picked up everything I really needed when we took Chobi to the airship" she answered choosing in the end to ignore the free packets of sugar and soap. "Now then, we just have to hand the keys in at the enterence then away we go again. We'll probably be at the airship before the others because public transport is gonna be so overpacked right now" she guessed pulling him along by the hand.
Alpha paused ushering everyone onto the airship while he covered the ticket prices. "So why did you stop? Because in some cases the treasure had already been dug up without anyone knowing? The airship we have isn't built for battles, the armour is all up the scratch but we haven't got any big guns or nothing"
Hebal cheered jumping around on the spot "Good choice, you'll get more dragoons entering and viera too if thats the case. Though you should also let knives in I think cause then I'll bet one or two of our friends would have wanted to join in on the tournament this year and they are only like mini swords"

Felina shrugged "I don't think Zadina would enjoy the responsibilites at his age. Elven lords usually get a small army to oversee, a place at court, influence obviously, then depending on how close to the king they are lots of money and of course a big private estate filled with luxury. And theres less public attention of course"
"Well in that case Enkidu can take the rug.. or the bed too I guess" Satoshi answered quickly scribbling down a few last comments before handing the form back to Evori. "Fancy swapping houses for a bit sometime Zadina? Would make a nice change to live in a house where I can choose a bedroom" she joked.
Evori scratched her horn "I dunno about knives. Theres a maybe there but the problem is that they are easy to keep hidden and wouldn't be allowed to throw them. Theres always a lot to discuss when making plans like that. Thanks" she added as she received the form.

Oassu frowned "Doesn't he already have a large estate for his family?" he asked "I'm sure I've heard him mention it or something but yes I doubt Zadina would have use for an army though doesn't his family really already have that stuff?" he said.
Gil chuckled handing Evori the form "Well it certainly would be something if you could get Zadina's place, bet it's giant seeing as he actually has royal blood compared to most nobles these days" he said cracking his knuckles "But we'd probably best get going, got things to do before we leave" he said
Zadina giggled "Yes Miss Satoshi you could probably choose from a variety of bedrooms to whatever takes your fancy" he said hopping off his seat ready to go "It's a shame there's not even a tournament anywhere for magic users I bet I could do well in it" he said happily.
Itaka chuckled "Yeah maybe but I bet the airbuses move faster than you flying even if they are full to the brim with people and stuff" he said turning and locking the door behind him unaware of the Red clad figure blocking their exit to the road.
Arian stood arms crossed, sword placed firmly in the ground in front of him "Greetings knave and his harlot, I have come for a real duel! One with consequences and ultimate victory!" he challenged the couple "Face me or die!"
Barbaros nodded "Really the whole pirate economy is dependant on old pirates burying their treasure somewhere plus I wanted to settle down a bit once I had money to get a place, didn't get into pirating for the adventuring." he said.
Jenna nodded "Then you won't be doing any sky pirating though you should see to fixing up the airship with at least some armour and weapons in case of other sky pirates attacking your ship you know?" she said.

Seph smirked "Well I could try racing one, sure I probably wouldn't win but it would be good exercise right..." she trailed off seeing the man in front of them. She rolled her eyes moving straight past Arian "Not interested sir And if your as high and mighty as you are trying to sound then you should know that proper duels always get arranged for an appropriate time for the occasion otherwise its just a high class ambush" she pointed out choosing to ignore the name calling.
Hebal sighed puffing her cheeks out as she pouted "Aww thats no good, Oassu needs his 15minutes fame but never mind I guess" she mumbled opening a free packet of sugar and downing the contents. "No point staying grumpy though. We'll just be leaving and all though we could all have like 8 bedrooms each in Zadina's house and rotate between them. Great place for hide and seek I'll bet" she smiled.
Alpha shook his head "The most successful pirates are the ones that just raid ships and take their loot be it pirate or some form of navy or merchant ship nowerdays even if its the more boring and not so nice route to go down. The armour is fine but right now I don't have the money to get the weapons all modern and shiny. But I do at least have the contacts to sort it out eventually"

Felina yawned slipping onto one of the fre remaining seats as the bus began move at full speed "Actually that whole estate belongs to his brother. But Zadina is looked after there though when older will either inherit the place or will have his own house bought though a lot more modest in size. Or Kurgan may just allow Zadina to live there, could work that way too. The army is kind of for tradition and protection since many nobles live on the other side of the world to Yithra we are so spread out. They also keep an eye out on their activites to make sure theres no plotting against the king"
Satoshi grinned "See theres a plan and then you in return can see the ninjas and have a nice little holiday place for when Yithra gets too cold" she stated getting up from her seat for another stretch "Yeah we need to go pick up Enkidu and Terrato from our cabin along with a small pile of unsold dresses"
Evori nodded her head understandingly "In that case I'll leave you to it. Congrats again for your victory and remember to check out at the site enterence before leaving. Incidentaly, there is a tournament for mages to show off their skills every three years by the nu mou in the city of Magia"

Oassu shook a bit as the bus took off at a start straightening his beret he sat down beside Felina scratching his chin "Why would he get a less modest place? Cause he's younger? If Kurgan is declared dead then isn't Zadina equal position with him?" he asked
Zadina giggled "Well you know you are all welcome in my home anyway, we wouldn't need to swap Miss Satoshi but it's nice to know there is a magic tournament somewhere in the world, maybe I'll go see it sometime" he said.
Gil nodded "Thanks for the hospitality, lets go guys" he said turning to open the office door though I'm sure Oassu will get plenty of fame with his fiancee and stuff" he chuckled "Not like he's going to be just a nameless figure in the history books" he said.
Arian frowned lifting his sword out the ground before thrusting it back into the ground causing a barrier of fire to block the exits "A duel on the battlefield takes place immediately, we are not nobles, we are warriors, now take up your arms I will provide you with a blade if you need ont" he said
Itaka groaned stepping back quickly from the barrier of fire that sprung up in front of him "I don't think we can really let this guy slide for now..." he muttered concerned "Though I don't have my real sword and he beat me bad last time" he whispered to Seph while Arian watched from behind them.
Barbaros shrugged "Well it's not for me anymore though I'm surprised you know so much about pirates, would imagine you'd not know much about sailing and the things that go on at sea given your nature" he said as Jenna had to take a standing position on the bus "Well you could always go visit that magic pot and her friend again with more Elixirs if you needed more money" she said smirking "That is if they even let you into a Viera village again, they're pretty secretive"

Seph frowned calling up her bag and handing it over to Itaka "Here, have a fish around in here for a sword of a similar size. You would be surprised at just how many I've got" she told him drawing her own blade "Last time I checked the battlefield was a few yards over there in the arena. That makes you more of a thug than a warrior. So how much are you being payed to do this" she taunted.
Alpha sighed mumbling an apology to some of the passengers he had accidentally bumped as he moved his way towards the back of the bus "I get about the world and pirates have to walk about on land at ports from time to time. And where else would they go then a tavern that I owned once upon a time. Had pleanty different jobs and careers too"
"See ya later Lady Judgmaster ser or whatever we're meant to call you title wise" Hebal said skipping to the exit. "Thinking of entering that mage tournament when older then? Wouldn't be awesome if we could also do something epic to go into the history books. Maybe I could invent something that in the future nobody can live without hehe. All you guys are gonna be famous... well kinda are already"

Felina nodded "Younger siblings in the nobility get less because they aren't as important to the family name and influence on paper anyway. All the best stuff is passed down to the oldest in rich families regardless of circumstances unless disowned for whatever reason or they are dead. Take my mum for example, despite being queen she inherited pretty much none of her family wealth when my grandparents passed away on her side as she was the youngest of 5" she answered pulling herself closer to Oassu.
Satoshi smirked giving the judgemaster a plite bow "Ha could try and be famous if you want but personally, I think you would be much happier without the fame. I mean I'm only famous here by being in a relationship with Gil and its annoying having loads of people asking loads of questions" she stated patting Hebal's ear.
Evori snickered holiding the door open "I can live without being addressed by proper titles. It drives you daft and from what I've heared theres quite a few people after a dress like the one you made that got worn at the ceremony so watch out for beg letters. Anyway safe journey home or wherever" she smiled ushering them out the room and locking the door behind them. "And now to sort the other business out" she mumbled to herself as she moved the filing cabinet to one side revealing a small safe behind where she stored other more unofficial papers she didn't want people knowing about.

Oassu nodded "Well I suppose that makes sense though you mum doesn't really need to worry about her own families' riches when she's the queen of all Yithra" he said "Still that means that if Kurgan is declared dead Zadina would get everything right?" he said.
Gil chuckled "Too bad Satoshi, you'll no doubt have loads of people asking after your dresses after that display I'm sure, maybe if you're lucky you could even get some of them interested in your paintings and stuff as well" he said nuzzling her as they moved out of the VIP room where staff were clearing up,
Itaka grumbled pulling out a sword not at all like his but of the same style "Right whatever let's just get this over with quickly we need to move on" he said tossing the bag back to Seph.
Arian gritted his teeth drawing his blade from the ground once more "Ignorant harlot! If I were truly a common thug you would be dead already without even the honour of a fair fight!" he said swirling his own flaming sword around him before assuming a battle position "Enough talk! Have at you!" he said leaping at Seph.
Zadina giggled "It would be cool to enter it but makes me wonder if Miss Amane would be allowed to enter it, if the Nu Mou allow summoners to join their ranks though I never knew you were an inventor Miss Hebal though I'm sure you'll be in a history book somewhere, you were one of Princess Felina's guards in the battle of Yithra!" he said.
Barbaros smiled "Well you demons must get bored to want so many different jobs in one lifetime" he said "Guess that's the curse of your long life, 'nless your just not a many for settling down anywhere anytime" he shrugged

Seph growled catching hold of her bag and slung it over one shoulder while she dodged the first attack and rose her blade to meet with Arian's "Well not really, highwaymen aren't exactly anymore dignified just because they give you more than one choice afterall. And you know you would have a lot more friends if you stopped calling people Harlots" she sighed giving him a hard kick in the knee.
Alpha shrugged "Some settle, some don't but the ones that do usually do so because of family reasons. Most might settle down for a while but when their friends start dying off due to shorter lifespans they tend to just pack up and start a clean slate every now and then. Also theres just some species that are more adventurous than others obviously and fire demons are known to bore easily" he chuckled.
Hebal laughed shaking her head "I'm not inventor, or at least not yet until I make some super epic armour even better than yours Gil. But do they really make such tiny little details as to which person did what on such a massive elven battlefield?" she gasped in disbelief. "And I think summoners get a totally different set of competitions to mages otherwise their power would be a little unfair"

Felina nodded again "Yep thats how it goes but lets not think too much on that one for now. And yes my mum is the queen of the elves so many would argue that she has accomplished the most out of the 5 siblings. If very lucky though there is the odd occasion where it is arranged for a younger sibling to inherit everything due to greater achievements" she shivered wondering how some of the gria could put up with the window being open.
Satoshi looked around predicting only one or two people would be left having their final drinks. "Well maybe if I'm in a good mood I'll sell one or two more of those dresses sometime. Though the people who buy those aren't going to be all that interested in paintings" she groaned hoping not to be pestered by too many letters. "Though I suppose I can help out if you need someone to check out the effectiveness of any shiny new armour you make" she offered.

Oassu smiled cuddling Felina to warm her up "Well she doesn't need her family's wealth at all now she's making the next line of royal blood" he said "Guess I've done very well for myself bagging me the hottest young princess of the Elven sisters" he laughed.
Gil shrugged "I don't know maybe some people consider dresswork a form of art and so you could probably persuade them around, or if you had a shop you could have your pictures on sale alongside dresses and stuff" he said.
Arian didn't seem to notice the kick to his knee as it stayed firmly in place "Silence!" he said lifting one hand off his sword to cast Firaga in Seph's face to knock her back "let your blade do the talking!" he said following up with another slice before Itaka stepped in to block it and kick Arian in the chest to get away "Are you ok Seph?" he asked.
Barbaros scratched his chin in thought "Hmmm in some cultures fire demons are called Efreets, I don't suppose fire demons have any history with the summon Ifrit do they? That would be kinda cool, not that I really know anything about their history or anything" he said.
Zadina giggled "I'm sure they'll at least record you were part of Felina's bodyguard since we were the only ones helping her out there, standard rank-and-file soldiers might not be mentioned unless they did something incredible but I'm sure officers like us will be recognised" he told Hebal somewhat doubting anyone could make Armour better than Gils
