"Kailan of the House Stroll... Knight of Abuge, pleased to meet..."

Nicus nodded a greeting to the Knight and the rifleman named Man, then looked around.

"Well..." He finally said, stepping up to the cart before hopping in with only a slight flutter of his wings. "Shall we continue moving on?"

Jameson stepped up to the back of the cart to stand near him.

Nicus suddenly looked at Mac, and pointed his hand at him.

"And you, rifleman, Mac(?)... later, I shall examine your weapon."

With that Nicus turned and examined the interior of the cart, seeing some more people inside, he bowed his head a bit, tipped his hat, and said, "Hello, names Nicus if you didn't hear already, the birds Jameson, and we're coming with you folks now on this merry little chase."

"Wark." Jameson nodded.

"Lufia Arcsys, White Mage for Hire," she said with a wave from her seat, "If you need healing, I can do it... For a fair price, of course."

"Except for that guy over there," she said pointing over to Tip, "If I have to heal him, he has to pay me double or triple my normal fees."

"I think we've dawdled enough around here," Zereal declared to anyone who was listening. "Let's get out there and kick some ass!"

As soon as he was finished with his exultation, he took a rather large gulp from a heretofore-unseen bottle of wine.

Derry nodded.

"Very well," he said, falling in behind Nicus and hopping onto the cart.

Sendis moved over to make room for the two newcomers. "It's nice to have two good sword arms in this group," she said.

"And always good to see a good spear by your side," Derry replied, taking a seat.

"Thank you," she replied. "I'll try to be of help...but I must confess I've never seen battle before." Sendis blinked. She didn't know why dhe had just confessed that of fall things.

Derry smiled assuringly in response.

"That's fine," he said, "I'll be sure to watch your back, so long as you watch mine."

"I guess it's not as big of a deal with simple Goblins," Dani piped up, still thumbing through the tome, "But I'm a little bit worried about our lack of arcane power, as it were." She frowned. "We only have one White and one Red caster..."

"I wouldn't worry over-much," Nicus said to Dani. "I've not known Goblins to be much to worry a head over. With a healer and enough swords, we should be fine..."

Nicus trailed off as he suddenly lost himself deep in thought.

"Unless they... No... but that hasn't happened since..." Nicus suddenly turned his head away and focused on one of his hands before clenching it tightly and looking up again suddenly, as if really realizing where he was. Then he grinned, and shrugged.

"Like I said, I wouldn't worry over-much." But his voice didn't sound as confident as it had before, a fact that Jameson took note of as she walked alongside the cart, her own expression dimming a bit in response.

"Hey Nicus," Lufia asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Hm?" Nicus looked at the White Mage with the unusually excessive battle hammer. "Oh no, I was just thinking of a really bad joke I heard a long time ago. It went a white mage, a black mage, and a goblin all walked into a tavern and..."

Nicus trailed off and shrugged, "But I forgot the rest."

"It doesn't sound like the joke would get much better with that lame setup," Lufia commented, tilting her head a bit, "So... You're a mobile blacksmith?"

"Mobile Blacksmith is odd... but it sounds about right," Nicus nodded. "Really, I'm traveling the land to better my skills, I've just managed to acquire some fine pieces of equipment that are small enough to be mobile while still capable of doing the job I ask of them."

Nicus gestured towards Jameson, "Of course without her, this would all be moot. Even if I am pretty strong for a Moogle, I can't very well haul an anvil, forge, and my other tools around by my own. Jameson is very strong, and my equipment is light and small, so it works out. She is as invaluable to my quest as my hammer is, moreso since she keeps me sane and alive often."

Jameson puffed up with pride and kwehed happily. It was nice to be recognized.

"She still smells sometimes though."

Suddenly, the bird felt a craving for diced Moogle.

Lufia nodded as she listened to Nicus' description and couldn't help but to chuckle a bit at the exchange at the end.

"Awww, don't say that," the White Mage then said, "She looks like a good Chocobo to me."

"Good, but stinky. Sometimes. We got caught in a rain shower the other day so she's pretty clean now, but after a long walk through a dense forest on a humid summer day?"

The Moogle waved a hand in front of his sizable nose.

"Whoooooooowwwww!"

Jameson glared at Nicus, her beak still clutching a few of the hairs she'd plucked from the offending Moogle's head.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry, I give!" Nicus apologized to the glaring bird.

"You two have known each other for a long time, haven't you?" Lufia then asked, "It really shows with how you act."

Derry chuckled a bit.

"Just from the few stories he told me, I can tell they've been through a lot," he added.

"Hm? Oh yeah... I suppose it has been a while. Tell the truth I'm not sure how long it's been, hell, I dun even remember when I left my hometown... or how long I've been on the road."

Nicus became thoughtful. "I wonder if my family is still alive..."

"Your family? How long has it been now since you've seen them last?" Sendis asked curiously.

"Oh I dunno, years and years. Can't even recall how old I am, now that I think on it... I guess that's pretty weird, huh?"

"You do tend to lose track when you're on the move," Derry added.
