"Alright leader..." Kailan replied sighing... "Not that I'm the mood for a walk around anyway..." He lied even to himself... After all that was a bit curious about the place, but he was trying to convince himself he needed rest before the upcoming battle...

"What would we even do, kupo? I'm too old for pranks, and Rai-kupo is a straight shooter."

"He's more afraid of what Faris and Mac would do I think," Sendis said. "And by extension all the other young hot blooded singles in this group."

Lufia stood there listening with her hammer balanced over her shoulder so she wouldn't leave a trail of scratches on the inn floor as she moved around.

"So should we start splitting up between the rooms now?" she asked, looking around a bit, "We do have a long day ahead of us tomorrow..."

"When men and women share a bedroom, they tend to share secrets," Xin said delicately. "We really can't deal with that right now because there are a lot of more important things to do."

Faris cocked her eyebrow slightly, not missing the subtle look that Laon sent her and Mac's way, before glancing off.

"What would we even do, kupo? I'm too old for pranks, and Rai-kupo is a straight shooter."

"Ah... to be so young again." the Viera said and smirked. "But you're missing the point, Kupek. It's us he's worried about this." and gestured lightly between herself and Mac.

"He's more afraid of what Faris and Mac would do I think, And by extension all the other young hot blooded singles in this group."

"See? Sendis got it right." she stretched her arms over her head and smirked lightly. "But I don't think there's anything wrong with developing a relationship with a teammate." Faris wrapped her arm around Mac's waist, grinning slightly. "I think it strengthens camaraderie... Besides, if we're going to do something, it'll be in the bath."

"..." Kailan blushed, sighed, blushed even more and sweatdropped... "..."

The mental image of him going after young girl he never saw before and wouldn't see after was too much for his naivety and innocence...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Can I at least go for a walk after dinner?" He asked...

"Alright, the women get one room and the guys split up between the other two. But I don't want any fooling around, you got that?"

Mac tossed off a slight salute, a hint of a grin on his face, "Not a problem, Bossman. I think we all can be polite for a night, right?"

"What would we even do, kupo? I'm too old for pranks, and Rai-kupo is a straight shooter."

Mac was about to open his mouth to try and explain, whe-

"He's more afraid of what Faris and Mac would do I think,"

"...hey," Micerhin raised an eyebrow, getting the feeling he should be insulted somehow.

"Ah... to be so young again. But you're missing the point, Kupek. It's us he's worried about this."

Faris' opening words did intrigue Micerhin a little - he knew that Viera were long lived, but... the way she spoke... Eeh. he thought to himself, A gentleman doesn't ask a lady's age - nor is it that big of a deal...
"More than likely," Mac nodded, reluctant to admit it.

"And by extension all the other young hot blooded singles in this group."
"When men and women share a bedroom, they tend to share secrets. We really can't deal with that right now because there are a lot of more important things to do."


"Right." Mac nodded, a grin on his face as he spoke, not really sure if the Moogle was being honest or pulling everyone's chain at once, "We're all a team, so there's no need for there to be unecessary secrets between us all."
Mac's grin broke to a grimace as he realized what he'd said, ...and that probably came out wrong.

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with developing a relationship with a teammate. I think it strengthens camaraderie... "

Micerhin raised an eyebrow at her words, a faint flush covering his face as her arms wrapped around his waist. Not wanting her to feel unwelcome, Mac's hand slid to her shoulder, giving her a soft squeeze.
"That is true, friendships can make one fight even stronger than bef-"

"Besides, if we're going to do something, it'll be in the bath."

Mac's train of thought derailed.
Over a cliff.
And landed on an orphanage.
Inside a church.
And replacing that train of thought was another train of thoughts that were... well, let's just say that the Monks who had helped bring Micerhin up for several years would be sorely dissapointed - though a certain monk would have slapped Mac on the back and congratulated him for being a man.

Outside, Micerhin coughed softly, suddenly finding the wooden floor most interesting for one reason or another.

"How many times is this now?"

"Just because I was brought up a different way doesn't mean i'm a straight shooter..." Raidou grumbled... Before looking away. "... Does it? Have I really been brought up in such a way where I can't be humorous or good with the women...?" Indeed, these were questions that currently plagued the Zigan's mind. However, he brushed them aside for more pressing matters at the moment. He then turned to Kupek and Sendis...

"Besides, what makes you think i'm concerned with what they do? To be truthful, I don't really mind... Nor care what they do with one another, so long as I can put enough distance between me and them. I'd like to get a decent night's sleep without being awoken to the sounds of... Well, you know." Raidou muttered, before pocketing his hands. He spared a look at Faris and Micerhin, before looking at Laon and Xin.

"Well, they can do what they like. After that fight in the bar, i'm feeling kind of tired... So if you don't mind, i'm going to go lie down. Besides, i'd like to wake up early to get some extra training in..." With that, the Ziga warrior headed off to one of the rooms set aside for the guys.

"Of course," Sendis said. "Unfortunately our Comannder's opinions greatly outweigh yours or mine." She waved good night to Raidou as he walked off to sleep. "See you in the morning."

She looked at Kupek, "If i forget to later, remind me to get your a book from the marketplace. I think it might shed some light on the matter."

Faris purred slightly as Mac spoke and nuzzled his cheek. As soon as he grew quiet, she drew her head back to look at him. Lufia's voice suddenly turned her attention away from him;

"Someone's thinking something naughty~"

She smirked and poked at Mac's cheek lightly, "Yeah... he does that a lot." and then she giggled quietly, hugging him a little tighter. She looked up again as Raidou spoke up; "Besides, what makes you think i'm concerned with what they do? To be truthful, I don't really mind... Nor care what they do with one another, so long as I can put enough distance between me and them. I'd like to get a decent night's sleep without being awoken to the sounds of... Well, you know.

The Viera had the decency to blush and ducked her head into Micerhin's shoulder. "I... can we talk about something else now?" she said, muffled. She looked back over when Raidou excused himself and she waved towards him. "We'll try not to wake you..." the silver haired woman said, the words bubbling out before she realized her own words. She once more ducked her head into Mac's shoulder.

"Someone's thinking something naughty~"

"Isn't that a little unfair to judge someone on the-"

"Yeah... he does that a lot."

"Et tu, Faris?" Micerhin shook his head, giving up and not bothering to argue against the accusation anymore. There were worse things to be caught redhanded with, anyhow.

"Besides, what makes you think i'm concerned with what they do? To be truthful, I don't really mind... Nor care what they do with one another, so long as I can put enough distance between me and them. I'd like to get a decent night's sleep without being awoken to the sounds of... Well, you know.
"I... can we talk about something else now?"


Mac smiled softly as the Viera flushed and tried to hide her embarrassment, "Well, I'm honestly wiped o-"

"We'll try not to wake you..."

"...and you say I'm not helping things," Micerhin tried not to laugh as he covered his mouth with his free hand - amusement evident in his eyes.

"It's actually kinda neat," Lufia said with a bit of a giggle, "You two have only known each other for a few hours but it looks as if you've known each other for years."

Zereal let out a small sigh; he had seen too many men thrown off by bouncing breasts and round butts, too many women ogling toned muscle and handsome faces, making competent warriors and leaders act like idiotic schoolchildren.

"Yeah, you two go take a bath together and 'share secrets'," he said out loud. "And while you're doing that, be sure to think about all the innocent women and children who those Goblins have killed, or are going to kill while you're swapping spit. That ought to help the mood." Not really waiting for a reply, he headed off to one of the designated rooms.

After a brief pause, Xin leaned over to her brother and whispered, "I think someone's got a sensitive spot there."

"Tell me about it," the knight replied, surprised by the seemingly buffoonish man's change in demeanor.

(OOC: oops, posted too quick. Edit button to the rescue!)

As the situation become clearer to him, Kupek blushed. How obvious was it that they were referring to Mac and Faris? He could do nothing but stammer in response. Raidou's words made him feel worse however. "I- I didn't mean anything by it, Rai-kupo! Just that-" but it was too late, the Zigan had gone. Kupek frowned, worried that he had damaged his possible friendship with Raidou.

"If i forget to later, remind me to get your a book from the marketplace. I think it might shed some light on the matter."

Kupek blushed at Sendis, though she couldn't see it. "I know what they would do together kupo, I just misunderstood who the Captains were talking about."

Zereal spoke up, and caught his attention: "Yeah, you two go take a bath together and 'share secrets'. And while you're doing that, be sure to think about all the innocent women and children who those Goblins have killed, or are going to kill while you're swapping spit. That ought to help the mood."

It was like someone had thrown a bucket of ice water on the young moogles head- the subtle anticipation of the heroics to come, the embarrassment that he was feeling mere seconds ago, the worry that he had harmed his budding friendship with Raidou- all of it was drained away, replaced with a crawling, twisting fear in the pit of his stomach.

Kupek tightened then loosened his grip on the mekka's controls and looked to the others. "I'm just...gonna go to bed now kupo," he said in a meek voice. The mekka then plodded off to the rooms the males had been assigned, it's operator now silent.

Sendis waved, "Good night. Kupek! Don't fret overly much about it. You'll only make yourself feel worse over an honest mistake."

Zereal was right in a way, but that didn't prevent the comment from sounding rude and uncaring.

"Huh," Lufia sighed, "I wonder what suddenly made him such a meanie... he seemed fine a moment ago."

"It's actually kinda neat. You two have only known each other for a few hours but it looks as if you've known each other for years."

Micerhin raised an eyebrow, "Seriously?" he asked, looking down to Faris and then back to Lufia, paused and then continued, a soft smile on his lips, "Damn, I think you're right."

"Yeah, you two go take a bath together and 'share secrets.' And while you're doing that, be sure to think about all the innocent women and children who those Goblins have killed, or are going to kill while you're swapping spit. That ought to help the mood."
"I'm just...gonna go to bed now kupo,"


Mac's heart fell slightly, as if stabbed by a hidden blade - Zereal did have a rather strong point there. After all, there were people suffering and... On the other hand, this was Mac's way of coping with such a heavy weight on his shoulders.
At the very least he didn't have the prediliction of getting drunk that he used to...
And seeing Kupek get as depressed as he did, it really didn't help things.

"Huh. I wonder what suddenly made him such a meanie... he seemed fine a moment ago."

"He does have a point..." Micerhin ran a hand through his hair, brushing his bangs back from his face, "...I won't deny that. Doesn't mean he had to be an ass about it."
Letting out a soft sigh, Micerhin sounded a little more world-weary than his face told as he spoke, "I'm just gonna go get some sleep." Giving Faris a peck on the cheek, Mac slid out of her grip and gave her a soft smile, "See you in the morning, ok?"

As Mac headed for the rooms designated 'for the guys,' he walked past Kupek's mekka slowly plodding to the same room. Giving the head a soft tap or two, Micerhin spoke up, "You gonna be ok in there, kid?"

"I guess we should be heading to bed too," Lufia said, directing her words towards Sendis, Faris, and Dani.

"Have a good night..." Kailan said, before looking away... "Bah..." He simply said exiting from the inn and sitting near the wall, facing the streer... "Sorry, but after hearing that I need some fresh air..."

Faris continued to duck her head into Micerhin's shoulder even as Lufia spoke with them. She smirked lightly and chuckled, it was odd that she felt so comfortable with him but she had already told herself it must have been fate.

Zereal's sudden declaration and departure caused a sudden spike of anger in the Viera and she loosened her arms from around Mac slightly. His words seemed to echo back her own sentiments from earlier, her own harshness with him. She felt her anger slow itself and she shook her head quickly. 'It's not like I don't understand the seriousness of the situation,' Faris thought bitterly, 'He doesn't have to be such smarmy jerk.'

Micerhin started to pull away and Faris looked up at him; "I'm just gonna go get some sleep. See you in the morning, ok?" He spoke and she smiled lightly and let him kiss her cheek.

"Okay, I'll see you then." the silver haired woman, released him completely and watched him move away. Turning towards Lufia, Fairs tilted her head slightly. "Something tells me that was mostly for me..." she shook her head slightly and turned away. "C'mon, lets find our room." and soon Faris walked off to locate their room.

Lufia turned and walked off as well to go find the designated room.

"That wasn't really directed mostly at you... Well, I didn't mean to at least," she said quietly to the Viera.

Sendis followed silently behind the other girls as she kept one eye on Faris and Lufia.

"Let's be honest... Faris, was it?" Dani said. "You were kind of acting more like a debutante than a mercenary, and this is a mission, even if we're not in combat yet." She frowned. "I'm not saying it's wrong to get in a relationship, even with a fellow mercenary you just met, but there's a time and a place for showing it off, and on a march to battle really isn't one of them, at least in my book."

During all this, Zereal had already staked himself out a bed and put his possessions nearby. Since the room was empty, he took the time to pull out his journal and pencil. Turning to the next empty page, he began writing.

Astrum 7 172

Joined the Goblin expedition in Zamas. Large group, mostly untrusting, seem to have bought "idiot drunk" act. Cute mages. Armored woman fighter. Naive but friendly Moogle with walking armor. Serious Zigan warrior. Bookish spell-slinger. Two thieves who constantly do the lovey stuff. Hopefully they can fight.


After finishing his entry, as was his habit, he went back to the start and began leafing through, briefly glancing at several entries, whether text, illustrations, or clippings from various fliers or posters. Some brought back happy or amusing memories, but most simply made that weight on his heart feel all the heavier. Tucking the book back into his backpack, he removed his cloak, armor, swordbelt and boots and nestled down in bed, hoping the others wouldn't make too much noise when they came in.
