Dani looked around, vaguely amused by the antics of the man who'd just shown up and the Viera who she couldn't remember which group she was in, and by the Zigan who seemed so unfamiliar with the culture here... but mostly, she was wondering where the captains had gone to.

Faris hummed softly as Mac responded to Kupek, and laid her head on his shoulder.

Planting a kiss on Faris' forehead, Mac smiled softly as he held her close, running his other hand through her hair slowly.

The Viera purred softly and snuggled into his shoulder a bit more. She wouldn't deny that she liked the attention he was paying her, but was becoming uncomfortable at her angle. She sighed softly and pulled away slightly.

"Let's get a booth until Laon is done with the bar owner." the silver haired woman mumbled before straightening herself and tugged on Mac's hand.

"Let's get a booth until Laon is done with the bar owner."

"Lead the way, madamme Faris," Mac said with a smile, slinging his rifle back over his shoulder as she led him off to a booth, "You're in charge."

"Lead the way, madamme Faris, You're in charge."

A small smirked played across her lips as she quickly found an empty booth. Looking back at Mac, Faris slid in and beckoned for him to join her. "That's...certain good to know."

Shrugging, Mac grinned happily as he obeyed, "Hey, I know when to back down and let someone else take command..."
Sliding next to her in the booth, Mac slid his rifle off again and grinned, "So, what did you have in mind?"

She shifted in her seat and waited for Mac to get comfortable before throwing her arm around his shoulders and pulled him close again. "Well, we could test our skill level against one another..." Faris purred again and nuzzled his cheek.

"But it'd probably would be if we got to know each other a little more before we do that." she spoke softly and tilted her head to touch her forehead with his. "Where are you from?"

"Well, we could test our skill level against one another..."

"...something I can't complain about. One can never have enough practice..." Micerhin grinned as he ran a hand along her shoulder, kissing her on the forehead again.

"But it'd probably would be if we got to know each other a little more before we do that."

Mac shrugged, "Again, something I can't complain about at all. I'd love to get to know more about yo..."
The words died in his throat as she touched her forehead against his, looking him right in the eye. This close, Mac flushed rather heavily and felt like she was looking into his very soul somehow.

"Where are you from?"

"Well..." he said with a smile, though his eyes hid a hint of sadness within them, "Like I said before, I'm from this very town. I just don't have any family here to visit... or anywhere else, for that matter."

Lufia then reached over and gently poked Kupek's pom-pom. She couldn't resist anymore. It was just too cute!

The moogle burst out laughing again, and spun in place to look at Lufia. "Hey, that wasn't fair, Kupo!" he said, wiggling his large ears and bobbing up and down in the air as he continued to laugh.

"I was distracted!"

After conversing with the bar owner for a while, Laon and Xin headed over to the group. The knight spoke first. "Alright everyone, we've gotten it pieced together, and we know that little scuffle wasn't your fault. So nobody here has to worry about getting kicked out."

"Unfortunately, it looks like all the Chocobos in town have been rented out," Xin said while shaking her head. "Figures."

"I told you Captain Highwind would snatch them up fast," Laon teased. "Who understands their importance better than a cavalry commander?"

The young hunter responded by jabbing an elbow into her companion's side. "Anyway, we're going to have to take the long road to get to Kafca. If we set out now we can make the first village along the way by sunset."

Suddenly, there was the sound of wood hitting wood off to the side. The drunk individual from before looked, moon-eyed, over his mug. "Wait, that was today?"

As Mac trailed off, Faris smiled softly and watched with half-lidded eyes as his face flushed red. There was something about the man that she felt drawn to and for that reason, she didn't feel like leaving his side any time soon. Even after she asked her question, she stayed close to him and briefly closed her eyes, listening to his drumming heart out of everyone in the room until she heard him speak again. The Viera opened her eyes again and waited for his answer.

"Well... Like I said before, I'm from this very town. I just don't have any family here to visit... or anywhere else, for that matter."

"Hmm... I'm sure they're one person out there that is waiting for you." she smiled softly and resisted the urge to add; 'You're looking at her.'

"I was actually on my way to see my family until I heard of the goblin attack." she glanced away then, "The first attack was close to where my home village is. I'm not even sure if they're still alive..."

Faris quickly grew quiet when she noticed that Laon was done talking and listened as both commanders spoke. She nodded her head slightly and once they were finished, Faris crawled over Mac's lap. "C'mon! He's done now, so we can finally talk to him about you joining our group!" With more grace then there should have been, the Viera got off his lap and was out of the booth heading toward her team captain.

"Laon, sir! I need to talk with you!"

"How many times is this now?"

Listening intently to voices within the bar, Raidou managed to recognize the voice of the knight that had collected the group he was in earlier. Pushing away from his wooden beam, he had missed the first part of the discussion. Thankfully, he entered just in time to listen to the rest.

"Unfortunately, it looks like all the Chocobos in town have been rented out. Figures."

"I told you Captain Highwind would snatch them up fast. Who understands their importance better than a cavalry commander?"

"Anyway, we're going to have to take the long road to get to Kafca. If we set out now we can make the first village along the way by sunset."


Chocobo's... From his stay on Oria, he learned that Chocobo's were very handy creatures to have in order to ride about on the countryside. However, they were expensive enough just to rent. Breeding and even taking care of them was more costly. It seemed as if the only way to get to the next village was to walk it... Something he had no problem doing. Before he could think further, a noise suddenly distracted him.

"Wait, that was today?"

"... I'm afraid so, mister. In all honesty, if you weren't drinking heavily, perhaps you could have made it into the team." he commented, looking towards the drunk man. However... Raidou did owe him for helping him out of that situation. Turning to Laon. "Excuse me sir... He may not seem like, but he help me out before during that scuffle. I don't suppose it would be too much trouble to take him along, would it?" he asked. As he did, he noticed the Viera from earlier bounding for Laon as well, prompting the Fighter to stand off to the side and wait.

"Alright everyone, we've gotten it pieced together, and we know that little scuffle wasn't your fault. So nobody here has to worry about getting kicked out."

Kupek stayed silent, but wiped his forehead animatedly anyway.

"Unfortunately, it looks like all the Chocobos in town have been rented out. Figures."

He frowned, and looked to the others, watching their reactions.

"Anyway, we're going to have to take the long road to get to Kafca. If we set out now we can make the first village along the way by sunset."

"Yes ma'am, kupo!" Kupek saluted once more. A familiar voice to his side made him turn to look.

"Wait, that was today?"

"It's that guy again, kupo..."

"Hmm... I'm sure they're one person out there that is waiting for you."

"I wish I could be sure..." Mac's words came slow, but sure - as if he was speaking honestly for one of the first times in his life. He couldn't help it, she... did something to him.

"I was actually on my way to see my family until I heard of the goblin attack. The first attack was close to where my home village is. I'm not even sure if they're still alive..."

Putting a hand on her shoulder, Mac smiled genuinely, "I'm sure they're fine. Honest." there was a brief pause and Mac continued, "...but, if they're not... I..."
There were more words he wanted to say; 'I'll stay with you,' being those words... but held them back for the moment.

Finally gathering up the courage to say those words, the moment was broken by Xin and Laon speaking up, announcing the plans for the day - to say nothing of the new events and so forth.

"C'mon! He's done now, so we can finally talk to him about you join our group!"
"Laon, sir! I need to talk with you!"


"W-wha!" Mac let out as he was pratically dragged from the booth, trying to gain some footing as they headed over to the guys in charge.

"Laon, sir! I need to talk with you!"

The young knight blinked at the activity around him. "Hu-wha?"

"Looks like they picked up a few stragglers along the way," Xin mused.

Laon let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "I guess adding more teammates isn't a problem, as long as they don't cause any trouble..."

Coming to a stop near Laon, Faris smile briefly. "Sir, this man came to join the fight as well." she glanced back at Mac and looked at the knight again. "He's decent enough, and his heart is pure." The Viera blushed and shook her head slightly, causing her bangs to obscure her face for a moment.

"So, please, allow him to join our team."

"I guess adding more teammates isn't a problem, as long as they don't cause any trouble..."

"Don't know about the other, but this one shouldn't be too bad..." he thought inwardly, narrowing his eyes on the gun-wielder, before approaching the drunken guy. Taking a quick whiff, the guy was still pretty sauced, though not as much as before. Extending his hand to the fellow, Raidou spoke.

"You helped me out, and now I helped you out. Just try not to drink too much in the future again." he commented, wafting away the small from his nose with his left hand. "All in all, welcome to the team, mister. I take it you have a name for yourself?" he asked.

"...I don't think I can say much of anything that can beat what Madamme Faris just expressed," Mac scratched at the back of his head slightly, "...but I had meant to show up at the recruitment drive earlier today. I just got lost. Really badly."
Though... I can't complain... he added mentally, blushing slightly.

"You helped me out, and now I helped you out. Just try not to drink too much in the future again."

"Hey man, I swear to drunk I'm not Mateus," he responded, pointing the empty tankard at the Zigan.

"All in all, welcome to the team, mister. I take it you have a name for yourself?"

He looked at the extended hand for a second, then stuck out his own...with the mug still on it. After a brief second, he realized what he was doing, removed the mug, and offered his now-free hand. "My name is...um...gimme a minute. It'll come to me. Starts with a 'Z', I think..."

"Hey man, I swear to drunk I'm not Mateus,"

Raidou looked straight at the man as he pointed his tankard at the boy, muttering something about Mateus. Rai simply shook his head and wondered if he had made a wrong decision. Even when he went to shake his hand, he offered him the tankard instead. However, this time the drunken fellow realized his mistake.

"Beyond the drunk attitude... He seems otherwise decent. Alot better than one of those dishonorable and disrespectful rats." he thought to himself.

"My name is...um...gimme a minute. It'll come to me. Starts with a 'Z', I think..."

"... Err... When you remember it, you can simply tell me. My name is Raidou Makoto the Third. You can just call me Rai for short. Perhaps we can work well enough together, once you lose the... Umm... Drunken state."

The moogle decided to have faith in the man who had jumped to their defense and flew up beside Rai. "My name's Kupek Moguru! Welcome to the team, Mr. Z-kupo!"

"My name's Kupek Moguru! Welcome to the team, Mr. Z-kupo!"

"Z" looked at the Moogle, blinked, and smiled. "Hey, look at that. A little guy." He stopped to rub his chin. "You know, I think I have something here with my name on it. Gimme a sec..."

After digging around in his backpack for a minute, the red-haired man pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper and handed it over. The paper read:

Quote:
 
WANTED

"Crimson Blade"
(Real name unknown)
Height: 5'10" / Weight: 152 lbs / Hair: Red / Eyes: Green

Career mercenary wanted for arson, kidnapping, perjury, piracy, pilfering, and impersonating a member of the clergy.

"Does it say my name there?" he asked cheerily.

Sparing a glance over to the drunken 'Z,' Mac paused slightly as he scanned over the paper the sloshed man held out proudly. There was another pause as Mac read the paper again, "...and it looks like, no matter what I've done..."

Mac paused, adding mentally, and I've done a bit...

"...the drunken one has me beat."
