Gil nodded "Well ok though I don't know if there's any other things to really keep people entertained here other than the shops" he said "Though a nice private pool would be satisfying, finally get the private time we deserve since travelling on an airship is kinda lacking for privacy" he said.
Oassu scratched his head "Well why don't we go see her if it helps her, wouldn't want her to get up...or we can come back at a better time if she's really not well" he suggested.
Zadina nodded excitedly before reaching down and lifting and turning the handle from the floor "We totally won't break anything don't worry" he told the others before he heaved the door open "Ladies first" he said holding it open so Amane could go down

Amane smiled hopping down the steps almost missing the last couple entirely "I don't like it so much down here, the walls aren't as nicely decorated. Still at least it's warmer" she added staying away from the walls "I'm also surprised its not a lot noisier down here considering the engine is around here" she sighed glad to not need to cover her ears.

Satoshi rolled her eyes as she received to small keys from the receptionist "Sorry that theres not much in the way of village entertainment, it's not exactly touristy and I don't want to take you training. But we'll find more stuff to do so relax as I too am glad of a little privacy and a little peace and quiet too away from our chaotic group" she admitted handing him a key then heading through the barrier "Well follow me and thats for your locker"
Elorin shook his head "She'll be ok, its more just a case of her making herself look appropriate for guests. You need not worry about my wife. Besides she's been through it all before several times" he shrugged knowing it was nothing new.
Felina snickered whispering to Oassu before she followed Elorin into his sitting room "That basically translates to she's feeling ok for the moment and she hasn't bothered getting up out of bed, she was like that when pregnant with Corella. Very easy life"

Gil chuckled catching the eyeroll "Hey now I'm not saying it's bad just curious what you could do here though it's pretty amazing you can keep a village like this a secret even in an age of airships where pretty much everything is visible from the sky, I imagine there's some special technique concealing it from overlookers" he said taking the key and whistling to Enkidu to follow "Did they have no trouble allowing our pets in?" he asked.
Oassu nodded "Well hopefully she won't be irritated by us getting her up" he said scratching his neck a little nervously "Still I'm sure you were all overjoyed at the thought of getting a boy heir to the throne though doesn't that seem a little unfair to Elithana?" he asked following Felina into the sitting room.
Zadina nodded "Cap'n Alpha probably did something to stop that since people sleep down here now" he said peeking inside a room on the left quickly "This must have been Mr Barbaros' room" he said noting it had several bike and artillery magazines laid out for him on the dresser.

Amane slowly nodded not noticing all the magazines "Well good thinking on Captain Alpha's part cause if Felina sleeps down here she would have a nightmare sleeping over an engine with hearing like you elfies have. And this is now Jeckharts room I see. Hiya, we brought you some biscuits" she added spotting the man.

Satoshi shook her head "They aren't really allowed to let animals in but since we ordered a private one they just ran them both through as a single senior ticket only costing a little extra. And this is a very disciplined village, any other time of the year and you would see ninja training everywhere you looked. As for how this place is concealed, theres no need to do anything about the sides and when anything comes by we have a giant roof that goes over the top making the village look like its part of one big mountain rather than between two cliffs"
Felina laughed "Well technically it was dad who ended up getting her up and we did offer to come back later so totally not our fault. But Elithana has always been aware of the fact a boy might come along and rule the country. It's like tradition" she shrugged.
Elorin sighed settling down in his large arm chair "She would be more irritated if she found out you came to visit and I didn't tell her about it. And like Felina said, it's been the tradition for as long as anyone can remember in recorded elven history. And it's not like Elithana will be pushed out the way of things and left to take a back seat unless she wants to"

Gil chuckled "Sounds like a very unusual thing, I kinda assumed you would have used some form of genjutsu or something to fix it rather than a big old mechnical roof, does your village have any consistent contact with the outside world?" he asked.
Zadina nodded "Yep though hello Mr Jeckhart we brought you biscuits in case you were hungry and stuff" he said hopping up behind Amane.
Jeckhart rolled over facing the two children "Oh hello you two," he said sitting up happily "Thank you for the biscuits it's very kind of you, how are Hebal and Alpha getting along upstairs?" he asked.
Oassu joined Felina on the couch "Well I thought we sent ahead warning we were arriving" he asked Felina "Still I suppose that's just how it works in royal stuff" he sighed still thinking it sounded a little unfair "She'll have her work cut out advising the young king anyway" he shrugged

Amane paused "Well I dunno, Alpha and mum weren't really talking much, I think they just have nothing in common and he was concentrating on his flying and she was concentrating on painting her armour. She's been working on it for weeks and since she's gonna wear that one I know she'll be annoyed if she ruins the paint. But she stopped to make us a really nice hot chocolate isn't that right Zadina? Was gonna make you one too but you took off" she explained.

Satoshi paused directing Gil along a hallway of doors eventually taking him through the one with 22 written on the front "This one is ours. Genjutsu is an impractical illusion of that scale or the bigger the trick, the more of a strain it is on the user and they cant be on lookout all the time. The roof cover is one of the oldest and most effective methods" she concluded stepping in the ladies cubical to change. "We have contact when we need it otherwise you could call us a bunch of isolationists"
"The only thing we knew was Hayate's message saying you were coming but he gave no notice as to when you arrived and then we only found out specifically you had arrived when General Vistai came by delivering the festival fireworks and mentioned you joined her for the ride" Elorin told them thinking he had done well in getting the place cleaned up in what little time he had before they arrived.
Felina smiled thanking one of the servants as they came by offering them a selection of drinks then gave a nod to a familiar looking bodyguard watching them from the corned "Elithana won't be the only one giving the advice I'm sure. She might even want to move away from Yithra with the extra freedom yet. If that happens someone will just be appointed"

Gil nodded "Well what if you got a bunch of ninja together to do it?" he snickered realising it was a silly plan "Oh well nevermind you've done a fine job never to be discovered properly so far though do your other ninja villages know where you stay?" he asked before disappearing into his own cubicle to change.
Oassu nodded taking some orange juice from the tray "Well yes I imagine so, but what's likely to become of her now, will she simply become a general or just have no role in politics at all?" he asked thinking it would be weird to suddenly have so much freedom.
Zadina nodded "It was really yummy but hopefully we'll get some even yummier foods when we arrive at the circus like candyfloss and things I'm sure she'd make you another if you went and asked her." he said.
Jeckhart shook his head "I wouldn't want to trouble her, though why don't you two run along I need to get some sleep, I'm not really used to doing a lot of footwork around the place" he said with a weak smile.

Amane nodded "Yeah ok we'll leave you to sleep, walking in so much snow takes up a lot of energy even for just normal people after all, no offence at the normal part" she quickly added giving him a bow before leaving the room "Oooh and I hope they have that popcorn stuff mum once brought back for me as that tasted really yummy and they don't make it back home"

Satoshi nodded stuffing her clothes into her bag "Such illusion based jutsu can only be done by the individual for nobody can have the exact same perfect image for the illusion all the time causing too many inconsistencies to avoid suspicion. But yes one or two know where it is not that they can ever get in since we're well defended"
Elorin paused thinking it over "Well that is up to her really. I doubt she will be a general, well she can try to advance further into the ranks but she would have to wait until a slot opened up to be considered and I personally don't want to think of one of my generals being killed or passing away at the moment. Alternatively she could become a political figure within Yithra or an ambassador" he explained curious as to why Oassu wanted to know
"she could always put her feet up and focus on married and family life and set herself up with a few kids and stay completely out of things. Thats what I would do if I were her" Felina suggested doubting that her sister would do something so simple.

Gil chuckled "Bet you ninja would love a nice floating city to always be on the move and stealthy still you aren't very isolationist Nadira considering how you get out and about so much" he said stuffing his clothes in the locker and locking them in.
Oassu shrugged "Just figure she'd be good working for the throne rather than just living a free life as we saw her doing some duties in Kunec with the Grians" he said sipping his drink "Do we know when her wedding is going to be?" he asked.
Zadina nodded waving quietly at Jeckhart before backing out of the room and shutting the door "The poor man he seems so much sadder now he's lost his wings and stuff still lets go see another room" he said pointing down to the engine room at the end of the hall "I think that's Miss Hebal's workshop in there" he asked.

Amane gasped almost flinging the door open wanting to look inside "Well... um wow thats a little on the messy side, I think you were right to suggest that maybe we don't go stepping around here plus the seat doesn't look too comfy over their either" she groaned happy to have the horribly loud noise of the engine gone the moment the door was shut. "I dunno how she can stand all that sound around her at all let alone when trying to work"

Satoshi paused leaving her cubical and placing her belongings in the locker "Politically we are, we stay out of all their business and occasionally do the odd task if the payment is big enough. Political leaders and anything to do with them tend to be quite profitable" she told him grabbing herself a towel "A floating city has advantages and disadvantages. Like the fact that theres nowhere to run to if you need a fast exit out the village for whatever reason"
"I doubt she'll go for the quiet life, she's always trying to get out and about at every opportunity" Elorin laughed glancing over at the antique clock to his left. "I don't know when the wedding will be. She's being very slow on planning it and busying herself with so many other things I don't think shes even sat down once to try planning things"
Felina snickered "If she leaves it any longer then mum will probably sort the whole wedding out for her. She's already making plans with me before I've even seen her which is probably because she knows I'm the more girly of the two of us" she mumbled,
