"Haha, my Dad made my armor, too! I'd be willing to teach your dad what I know about making them, but I'm not an engineer yet- it might be a bit screwy. But I will someday, Kupo!" "There we go... Determination. When one is determined to do something, they can do a great many things. No matter the obstacle, your sucsess is measured by how much you're determined to succeed. My dad told me that alot... Said that if I wanted to succeed him as a samurai, I needed to be determined to do it." "Chemists synthesize potions and elixirs to aid in bestowing or removing calamitous status effects for the greater good! Sorry, about that. That's what my teacher tells me over and over, kupo. But really, have you heard of Gold needles? They can heal petrification. Or eye drops? They can cure temporary blindness. I can make those things if I have the right ingredients, Kupo." "Quite an interesting take on occupation." Raidou chuckled, before shaking his head. "I'm afraid i've never heard of Gold Needles... Eye Drops I have heard of, though. Perhaps in our ventures, we'll be able to find such items. Since I have time to spend seeking out legends and mystical items, I have time to help you in your endeavors." he nodded, holding out his hand to shake Kupek's. |

"I'll pay for his drink, don't worry." "I still probably could have covered it myself," Mac whispered softly, "...but thanks." ...and then he noticed that the intials on the wallet didn't match her own name. Or at least, so he thought. It was rather quick, but Mac was also somewhat sure of his eye accuity. At least to some extent. "What are you gonna do with that cross?" "Sell it when I can for however much I can get, of course," Mac's grin returned, his voice dropping low so only she could pick it up, "...just like how you're probably gonna ditch the wallet as soon as you can." |

Kupek grabbed onto Raidou's hand with both of his, shaking it heartily. "It's a deal, Rai-kupo! You help me, and I'll help you!" The smile on young moogles face was wide, as he found another piece of his story had been gained- the hero's friends! Letting go, he crossed his arms. "One thing, though- what's a Samurai, kupo? |

"I still probably could have covered it myself, ...but thanks." "I'm sure you could have, but I wanted to treat you." she smirked again, tilting her head slightly away from him. "That way you could pay me back however you like..." she giggled softly and waved her head. "You're welcome regardless." "Sell it when I can for however much I can get, of course," Faris nodded her head and looked at the gold cross in his hand. It certainly was pretty, but when that archer found out it was missing- there would be hell to pay, that's for sure. Then Mac spoke again but in a low tone that she was sure meant only for her. "...just like how you're probably gonna ditch the wallet as soon as you can." She felt heat rise to her cheeks and looked down where she placed the wallet. "I'm not usually that bad..." she mumbled and looked up with her visible eye innocently. |

"It's a deal, Rai-kupo! You help me, and I'll help you!" "Excellent. If only all encounters I had like this were easy..." he commented, before sitting back a bit. That was when Kupek asked. "One thing, though- what's a Samurai, kupo?" Sitting forward, a smirk appeared on Raidou's face. "Ah, Samurai... They're the kind of warriors a large number of Ziga people become. Expert swordsmen, they come in varying shapes and sizes. Some prefer to wear heavy armor while others prefer simple clothing. Samurai's live by the sword, and they die by the sword. Mind you, i'd much rather live." he commented. "From what my dad showed me, they mix superb swordsmanship skills with a seemingly magical art, executing elemental attacks with the blade. They're also pretty good at blocking, evading, and even counter. My dad says there's a secret skill that could potentially save many allies, but it's use was forbidden unless certain circumstances were met. He hasn't really told me what it was yet..." he continued, before shaking his head. "... I'm sorry, did I get ahead of myself? This always happens whenever someone inquires about Samurai." |

"I'm sure you could have, but I wanted to treat you." "I'm honored, Madamme Faris," Mac smiled, bowing slightly in his seat. "That way you could pay me back however you like..." A raised eyebrow and a soft smirk was all that he showed externally... ...though his mind was probably closer to 'racing around like mad' and perhaps even celebrating slightly. As the old phrase goes, all men are just larger boys, after all. "You're welcome regardless." "Like I said... I'm honored," he smiled genuinely, "It's not often the lady buys something for me." "I'm not usually that bad..." "Don't worry..." Mac leaned in conspiratorially and meeting her overly cute gaze, "I'm usually not that good. And even then, I'm not about to turn you in. We of the craft have to watch each other's backs, don't we?" He looked at the cross twinkling in the light for about a minute before palming it and sliding it into Faris' hand, "I'll confess to not having cash on me at the moment, but that should cover the drinks... unless you'd prefer a some other form of payment..." |

(OoC: Post for Yoshi) "Nice to meet you Kupek," Lufia replied, trying her hardest to resist the urge to poke the red ball hanging from the moggles' head, "My name is Lufia Arcsys, white mage for hire. The Regen that I cast was free of charge though." |

"So her services do indeed require payment... I suppose that means I need to try my hardest not to get injured too much." he thought inwardly, glancing out the corner of his eyes at Lufia, before glancing back to Kupek. Come to think of it, he hadn't inquired about the strange red ball dangling from his head. Whereas Lufia resisted the urge to poke it, Raidou raised his finger and poked the pompom-like object. "Hmm... Does this object serve a purpose to you?" |

"Don't worry... I'm usually not that good. And even then, I'm not about to turn you in. We of the craft have to watch each other's backs, don't we?" She smiled softly and nodded her head. "Of course... Thick as thieves and all that." The Viera shook her head, "But I must say," her smile faded into a smirk, "I would probably be willing to go an extra mile, just for you..." "I'll confess to not having cash on me at the moment, but that should cover the drinks... unless you'd prefer a some other form of payment..." "I thought you said you had the money to cover the drink before..." she snickered lightly, before gripping the small item in her hand. Holding up the cross, she stared at it for a moment before slipping it into her waist band. Faris looked at Mac again, smirk still on her face. "This will do... for now." |

"... I'm sorry, did I get ahead of myself? This always happens whenever someone inquires about Samurai." Kupek listened in awe to Rai's story. "No, it's fine-they sound like Knights without armor, Kupo. That's amazing...!" Lufia addressed him at his side, and he turned to look at her. "Nice to meet you Kupek, My name is Lufia Arcsys, white mage for hire. The Regen that I cast was free of charge though." "Thanks again for that, Kupo! If you ever need a spare ether, let me know. I'm indebted to you." Kupek's attention was suddenly drawn back to Rai when the Fighter poked at his pom-pom. "Hmm... Does this object serve a purpose to you?" The moogle burst into laughter and pulled the pom-pom way. "That's ticklish, Kupo!" When he stopped laughing, he looked thoughtful. "I'm not sure what it does, Kupo. But I've always had it." |

"But I must say... I would probably be willing to go an extra mile, just for you..." "Then might I add..." Mac continued her thought, not missing a beat, "I must confess the same. It's not often I meet someone who catches my eye..." he paused, trying to see if he could find the words, "...quite like you do." "I thought you said you had the money to cover the drink before..." Micerhin took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his brown jacket, revealing a few gil scattered at the bottom, "Oh, I have enough... just not enough to ensure a room at the inn again without working the streets for a little while, so to speak." "This will do... for now." A tiny, tiny fraction of Mac wanted to object. After all, it looked expensive. It was a very, very, very, very tiny fraction that was quickly silenced by just about every other aspect of his personality. Standing up in front of Faris, Mac bowed slightly - taking her hand into his own and placing a kiss upon the back of her hand, "Then the services of Micerhin Carothver are at your command for the time being, my lady." |

"Oh, sorry about that. Didn't know it would affect you like that." he quickly apologized, lowering his hand from the pom-pom. "To respond to your earlier comment, they are. Knights focus more on a balance between offense and defense with some support though. Samurai seem to be attuned more for direct-offense and rapid elimination of foes, with added effects." he spoke. "However, I don't know everything about a Samurai yet, so I could be wrong. However, I do know that they're very powerful melee combatants that should not be underestimated, even by those that can attack from a distance." |

"Then might I add... I must confess the same. It's not often I meet someone who catches my eye... ...quite like you do." Her blush returned and the Viera looked away. "You're too sweet Mac. I'm sure you attract all the ladies." she said and smiled softly. "Oh, I have enough... just not enough to ensure a room at the inn again without working the streets for a little while, so to speak." Faris looked mildly surprised before laughing quietly to herself, "I...I had no idea that you were that type of man!" she continued her laughter into snickers and waved her hand quickly. "I'm sorry... I know what you mean, it just sounded so-" she smiled up at him, "ambiguous." "Then the services of Micerhin Carothver are at your command for the time being, my lady." Her coy smirk returned and she allowed him to hold her hand a little longer than necessary. "That's very pleasing to hear." she purred again, dragging her fingers over his hand as she pulled it away. |

"You're too sweet Mac. I'm sure you attract all the ladies." "Not as many as you'd think," Mac admitted, his grin turning sheepish for a second or two, feeling completely relaxed around her, "But then again, I don't think I've had a reason to try until now..." "I...I had no idea that you were that type of man!" "I'm sorry... I know what you mean, it just sounded so... ambiguous." (OOC: Nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Hurt my foot catching my balance. Great one! :lol: ) Mac started snickering as well, finally dawning on him how she'd interpreted it. After a good laugh, Mac took her hand in his again, smirking in reply, "Well... I have been known to take an... odd job or two... if the price was right." "That's very pleasing to hear." "Keep up the purring..." Mac whispered low enough for her to hear again, "...and I just might have to... further repay you sooner than expected." |

"Oh, sorry about that. Didn't know it would affect you like that." "It's ok, kupo," Kupek chuckled. Listening to Rai's explanation, the young moogle nodded. "Are you going to become a Samurai, Rai-kupo?" |

The bunny woman glanced away and smiled, glad that Mac wasn't offended by her chuckling. She looked back towards him when he grabbed her hand again. "Well... I have been known to take an... odd job or two... if the price was right." "Ah, I'll have to keep that in mind then." she said as a grin spread across her face. "Keep up the purring... ...and I just might have to... further repay you sooner than expected." The Viera smirked and purred again, leaning towards Mac. "I wouldn't mind that..." |

"I wouldn't mind that..." Taking a slow breath to try and steady himself, Mac leaned in close in reply, a smirk copying hers on his face, "I see..." Sliding a hand up her arm, the tips of his fingers trailed along her forearm, up over her shoulder and slid across her neck and under her chin. Using the little leverage he had, Micerhin tilted her lips up to meet his in a kiss. After what seemed like a good minute or two, Mac slowly pulled back, almost reluctantly, "...buisness before pleasure, though. Maybe you could introduce me to the boss and we can negotiate for my joining the... ah... party?" |

"Are you going to become a Samurai, Rai-kupo?" "As a matter of fact, I am. I would have begun training with a Katana, but... Well, my dad wound up selling the last few we had, so I had to start with a Cutlass instead. At the least, he gave me some of the money he got from sales, but this trip alone managed to shred almost all of it." Raidou sighed, pulling out his small gil bag and dropping it on the table. There wasn't very much inside. "That's why i'm here. Both to help the town with the Goblin invasion, and to gather a bit of extra gil as well. Speaking of which... I wonder when we're supposed to begin our mission." |

Faris allowed Mac to trail his hand up, until she felt him tilt her chin and sudden a pair of warm lips met hers. Her visible eye closed and she just let it continue, her own hand coming up to touch his chest. Far sooner then she would have liked, Mac broke the kiss and Faris had to blink a few times to focus back on his face. "...buisness before pleasure, though. Maybe you could introduce me to the boss and we can negotiate for my joining the... ah... party?" "Ah... Of-of course..." she mumbled and nodded slightly. The bunny woman felt giddy and light headed for a moment before she shook herself. "But... maybe I'll take you to him in a bit." she mumbled again before pressing her lips to his again. |

"Ah... Of-of course..." "Well, then, may-" "But... maybe I'll take you to him in a bit." Mac was about to ask what Faris had meant... but quickly got the idea after her lips met his again. Finding himself letting out a soft pleased growl, Mac's left hand slid slowly around her waist, softly pulling Faris closer to him as the kiss resumed. |

"Hmm... It seems to be getting rather hot in here." Raidou muttered in a low tone to the others around him. Getting up from his seat, he stored the Cutlass on his lower back and made for the exit of the bar. "I'm going to go hang around for a bit outside, probably get some fresh air." With that, the young fighter stepped out of the bar and took a deep breath. He appeared normal, but his mind was a different story. "It's a mixed bag... On one hand, the people are nice and they seem trustworthy... On the other hand, they're too unknown. No matter how much one knows about someone, they'll always hide a deeper motive that they don't want others to know. Coming from Ziga, it's... Hard to put trust in others that feel completely alien." he muttered to himself, leaning against a wooden beam. "Things here are too different... It's not quiet, women behave differently, there's a greater number of races beyond humans... Even their ideals are different." he continued, before thinking back to the man with the gun. Drawing his Cutlass, he stared at his reflection in the blade before gripping the handle. "Don't be swayed... No matter what comes your way, you will be determined to overcome it with your blade." he reminded himself, before pointing the weapon towards the ground. "You were granted a sword to cut your own path... The time has come to do just that." he finished... Before looking up to the sky. "... Huh. I declined the drinks before, but I never asked if they had something non-alcoholic." |

The Viera felt Mac's hand travel to her waist before pulling her forward and she felt herself move willingly. Her own hand that rested on his chest moved accordingly, and Faris wrapped her arm around his neck, holding onto him close. The silver haired woman broke the kiss lightly, but managed to keep her lips in contact with Mac's. "This is certainly a first for me... to kiss someone I hardly know." she said in a slight breathless voice and sighed softly, pressing her lips against his again. |

Kupek watched Raidou leave. The Fighter's mood seemed to be a bit off from how it was earlier, and that bothered the young moogle, but he decided it would be a good idea to leave him alone for now. A hero had to have faith in his allies, after all. Glancing over to Faris and Mac, he felt his face redden. "Maybe you two should get a room, Kupo!" |

"This is certainly a first for me... to kiss someone I hardly know." "You know what people say..." Micerhin grinned, feeling a little breathless himself, "...there's a first time for eve-" Mac smiled as she kissed him again, cutting him off completely, returning the kiss to the best of his ability. And, quite frankly, he had quite a bit of ability... so to speak. I'm definately sticking around with this group for as long as they'll let me. Mac decided in his head. "Maybe you two should get a room, Kupo!" Pulling back from the kiss, Mac surpressed a grin, "Naah... not yet..." |
