"Don't act like you wouldn't enjoy it..."

A slow grin slid across his face again, "Never said I wouldn't... in fact, I was about to say it'd be a shame if you had stayed a Priestess-in-training."

"That's a bit of a long story. Probably don't want to go into that now, unless you guys wanna be bored out of your skulls."
"Only if you feel like telling it, I don't mind."


"I don't mind either," Mac shrugged, catching his rifle as it almost fell from his shoulder, "It's a long walk and anything's better than walking in silence."
"...or not," Micerhin muttered softly, raising an eyebrow as 'Z' walked ahead of them.

"How many times is this now?"

"I'll admit your body is brimming with valour and courage Mr. Knell. But what can you a man of books offer?"

"You would be surprised." Raidou interjected, turning around from his walk and facing both Sendis and Tip. "Anyone can be a fighter, whether they use a weapon or even their own fists. Even a good story can become a powerful weapon, if used in the right situation." he commented, before turning to Kupek. He seemed rather excited, for some reason.

"What do you think of the new fellow?" he asked, strolling up alongside the mekka armor and it's occupant. A short distance away, 'Z' and Dani seemed to be walking alongside one another, leaving Faris and Micerhin to walk alongside one another.

Faris purred slowly at Mac and pulled his arm closer to her body. Even though she couldn't snuggle up to him, the Viera intended to get as much body contact as she could at that moment.

"I don't mind either, It's a long walk and anything's better than walking in silence....or not,"

"Charming fellow, isn't he...?" the silver haired woman muttered dryly, also watching "Z" walk off. She batted at Mac's arm again, smirking slightly. "And I wouldn't let you walk in silence, you know."

"Charming fellow, isn't he...?"

"Something like that..." Mac replied as well, though he couldn't help but feel that there was a reason 'Z' kept dodging questions.

"And I wouldn't let you walk in silence, you know."

"No offense meant, Madamme Faris." Mac bowed his head slightly, apologizing sincerely... in a scarcastic way, "Though I don't want to monopolize your time..."

The silver haired woman turned her head away in a huff, "I spend my time how I see fit." Faris spoke calmly before looking back towards him with a smirk, "And I've simply chosen to spend my time with you."

The Viera reached her hand up and poked his nose lightly.

"I spend my time how I see fit. And I've simply chosen to spend my time with you."

Blinking as she poked his nose, Mac's face split with a grin, "Well, I suppose there's no arguing with a woman who's set her mind."
Looking at the land around the party as they moved through it, Micerhin couldn't help but feel somewhat nostalgic for the sights around him. Taking a deep breath, Mac let out a low sigh, happy to be on the road again... though there was a small voice within him that lamented the fact that he wasn't on the open sea.

"Well, I suppose there's no arguing with a woman who's set her mind."

"That's right." Faris said with a smirk, "And I'm very set in my ways." She looked forward, staring towards their intended destination. Already this journey was starting off with a bang in Micerhin and she couldn't help but wonder what would happen next.

'One things for sure though,' she thought and pushed gently at her bangs, 'My family is waiting for me. And I have to make sure I get back to them...' One of the Viera's ears twitched and she looked towards Mac, who was lost in his own world.

With a chuckle, she pulled lightly on his arm. "Don't space out on me too much, okay?"

"Don't space out on me too much, okay?"

"Nuh?" Mac snapped back to reality, realizing he'd spaced out on Faris, "S-sorry. Just feeling a little nostalgic about the scenery, forgot where I was for a minute."

Tip nods happily at Raidou's comment, holding his book up to his chest. "Ah, so you do understand! A hero does not always come in the form of the trained warrior, but can sometimes arise from the meekest of sources. For instance Belean Teblar, the young farmer who's grit and determination changed the fate of the entire nation! He could hardly lift a sword when the Dragon Knights razed his village, but by willpower alone he was able to master the art of the sword and slay the vile Urdish Overlord! Which is no small feat, I assure you."

He raises his free hand to rub his hairless chin as his gaze rises up to the sky, the note he had been holding earlier lost sometime during his rant. "And that's not even mentioning those who excel in magic or wield deadly technological weapons. The sci-fi genre in particular is rife with heroes who carry guns that could burn the strongest warrior to dust in a single blast, and the strength of their arms certainly don't determine that. Of course, this is much more of a fantasy setting than that, so magic is what should be looked out for. Just imagine! How do you know the learned man you scoff at doesn't hold the power to create worlds and destroy galaxies in the palm of his hand? Power can come with knowledge, if good old Raistlin is any indication... of course, it's what is done with that power, be it magical or otherwise, that really defines their role in the story." Feeling as if he's aptly explained himself, Tip gives a firm nod and crosses his arms, having seemingly forgotten that he was even talking with anyone other than himself.

"That...is fair enough," Sendis said after taking a moment or two, or three to absorb enough of whatever Tip just said to get half a clue as to where he was going with it. "Very well, I'll concede that something lies beneath your appearance and wait for the Goblins to draw it out, so I may see for myself."

Zereal looked over at the bookish newcomer. "You talk a lot."

As the party continued down the road, they saw a group of commoners in carts, on chocobos, and on foot, moving down the road in the opposite direction. Laon raised a hand to hail them. "From where do you all come?"

"Limery," responded an older man in a cart, possibly the village leader. "We were driven out by the Goblins just a few weeks ago. Are you the warriors the King has sent to fight off those miserable creatures?"

"We're some of them," Xin replied.

The old man nodded. "Excellent. King Nolan has never let us down before, and I can see he won't let us down this time."

As the convoy rolled on, Laon waved and yelled back to them. "We'll get rid of those Goblins! That's a promise!"

"How many times is this now?"

Raidou stood there and listened to the man named Tip speak. As expected, the Fighter was completely lost as to what he was talking about. Something about technology and magic and other themes, all centered around the powers and what the people that possessed them did with them. As Sendis spoke, he couldn't help but feel almost the same way about the man. Certainly though, the tales he spoke of sounded incredible.

"I wonder if I can be apart of such a story in the generations to come..." he thought to himself. After several moments, the small group had stopped to converse with another group coming from a different area. Apparently, they had been pushed out by Goblins several weeks ago. Eventually, the discussion ended on the promise that the Goblins would be rid of. Continuing along on the trek, Rai drew his Cutlass.

"I will defeat them... I'll start my story there." he spoke, staring at his reflection within the blade. For a moment, he thought he saw something else...

Dani smiled lopsidedly as the man from the bar passed. She nodded to him in thanks. This is shaping up to be another interesting trip, she thought to herself.

"S-sorry. Just feeling a little nostalgic about the scenery, forgot where I was for a minute."

The Viera smiled softly and patted his arm gently. "It's fine... Just don't do it too much." She looked forward when she notice the oncoming convey of villagers. Seeing the Elder riding in front filled her with a sort of dread about what was happening out there. Faris grip loosened on Mac and the woman straightened out as Laon spoke with the Elder.

She watched, letting go of Micerhin's arm as finally the travelers past them and Laon called out; "We'll get rid of those Goblins! That's a promise!"

Faris eyes trailed after the group, barely catching Raidou's words from nearby and shook her head. Somewhere in the pit of her stomach, the bunny woman grew upset of not saving these villagers' home soon enough. She clenched her hand tightly at her side and started forward once more. "We need to keep moving... It'll be dark before we know it."

Micerhin let out a low whistle as he saw what appeared to be an entire village moving all at once, be it riding Chocobo or walking the same path on foot. Looks like those Goblins are moving faster than we thought... Mac scratched absentmindedly at his chin - then blinked, finally realizing that Faris had freed the hand he was using to scratch at himself.
Turning around, Mac saw Faris watching the villagers go by and had a pretty good feeling he knew what was happening - remembering the conversation they'd had back at the bar.

"We need to keep moving... It'll be dark before we know it."

Shouldering his rifle better so it wouldn't fall off, Mac put a hand on Faris' shoulder, "They'll be ok." he paused, his expression growing a little dark, "...otherwise... they won't be getting out alive."

After several minutes lost in thought, Zereal finally spoke up. "You know, the local Goblins must be masters of their race or something, 'cause all the ones I've run into have been complete idiots."

"I haven't run into many of the creatures myself, but the few I have come across seemed... Rather weak and easy to kill. However, i've heard rumors of their being some sort of red-colored Goblin occasionally leading others. They say it's a step-up from the regular ones, but i've yet to see one. What do you think?" he asked Zereal.

"They could be becoming more organized," Sendis hypothesized. "Perhaps there's simply more now, and they decided to make use of this advantage iun numbers?"

Kupek stayed silent and continued on alongside the others as they passed the people escaping from Limery. He looked to Raidou quickly afterward. "I like Tip, kupo! He'll be fun to tell my friends at home about. He also feels the way I do- I'm gonna be a hero!"

After few moments, "Z" spoke up: "You know, the local Goblins must be masters of their race or something, 'cause all the ones I've run into have been complete idiots."

"I haven't run into many of the creatures myself, but the few I have come across seemed... Rather weak and easy to kill.

"They could be becoming more organized. Perhaps there's simply more now, and they decided to make use of this advantage iun numbers?"

"I'm with Sendis, kupo. Maybe there are just a ton of them, like ants." The mekka clenched it's fist. "If there is a Red Goblin leading the others, I'll just smoke'em out with some stink bombs so you guys can finish'em off, kupow!" The mekka punched at the air.

Faris looked to Mac as he spoke and smiled briefly at his words. Even as simple as a few kind words and a pat on the shoulder, and the Viera was comforted instantly. She reached her own hand up and grabbed his hand. "Thanks..."

The silver haired woman looked back as Zereal, Raidou, Sendis and even Kupek had things to say about the goblins and seemed to matter-a-fact about it all. She shook her head and glared with her visible eye. "Does it even matter? They're attacking innocent people and driving them from their homes. Who cares if one is smarter than the last?!"

Faris growled the last words and looked away from the others.

Behind the shadow cast by the helmet of his mekka, Kupek blinked at Faris' outburst. "I...I suppose it doesn't matter how smart they are, kupo. But those people will be ok. After all, we're going to save them right now, kupo!"

"Hmhmhm... That sounds like a plan to me. Certainly better than simply rushing in and getting overrun, anyway." Rai commented. If they were stronger than normal ones, then he felt they would have been a problem is taken lightly. However, before he could think more on the subject, a loud voice interjected.

"Does it even matter? They're attacking innocent people and driving them from their homes. Who cares if one is smarter than the last?!"

Stopping his walk, he turned to face Faris. "We all understand the situation, but I just wish to get a little bit of information before I jump into the fire headfirst. If you have a problem with that, then..." he started, before shaking his head. "... Nevermind."

Turning back around, he had forgotten he left his Cutlass unsheathed. Storing the weapon once more, he placed his hands behind his head and walked along calmly. Inwardly, he wondered what got the Viera so riled up like that.

"...Faris..." Micerhin spoke, but wasn't sure exactly what he could say to even try to calm her down...
...and he didn't blame her for being pissed off, either. After all, if he guessed right, her village wasn't far off. Which... yeah. Not good.

"I...I suppose it doesn't matter how smart they are, kupo. But those people will be ok. After all, we're going to save them right now, kupo!"

"That's right, Kupek," Mac afforded himself a small grin as he gave the roof of the mech the Moogle rode in a pat, "We're going to go in, we're gonna save them... and no one's gonna die."
I hope. he mentally added.

"...Faris..."

Faris huffed slightly and looked down for a moment. She hadn't meant to get so riled up but it was so strange to hear everyone talk about this as some sort of grand adventure. They were here to save people's lives! That meant people's lives were in danger! The silver haired woman shook her head slightly and looked up at Kupek as he spoke up.

"I...I suppose it doesn't matter how smart they are, kupo. But those people will be ok. After all, we're going to save them right now, kupo!"

She thought of the young boy, sitting in the armor and smiled slightly. It was her just overreacting again and taking it out on her new friends. Micerhin had told her to trust them, they were her new companions after all. "Yes... I'm..."

"We all understand the situation, but I just wish to get a little bit of information before I jump into the fire headfirst. If you have a problem with that, then... ... Nevermind."

The Viera looked back to Raidou and pursed her lips again. 'Information was one thing,' she thought and glared slightly at the young man, 'You were just gossiping here.' Faris bit her lip and looked back to Mac as he spoke up.

"That's right, Kupek, We're going to go in, we're gonna save them... and no one's gonna die."

"I wish I could believe that..." the woman said quietly and turned away from the others. Taking in a slight breath, Faris hurriedly continued in the same direction as Raidou.

(OOC: Edit... wow, I'm doing the same thing here. :lol: )

"I wish I could believe that..."

Taking off after Faris, Micerhin placed a hand on her shoulder again, keeping a low voice, "I'm not even sure of my own words most of the time," he admitted, "...but when lives are on the line... some people just react to it all with humor or something different. I remember one guy who'd react to an incoming enemy by getting drunk and charging onto their ship at his first chance."
