"Ah!" Frato gasped as he was grabbed bu his shirt, and he stumbled back as Killy dragged him back into the bar. "Ow! What the!?"
He turned round and saw the angry white mage, and as she ranted at him he started to think. He would be getting Franslin into some very real and mortal danger if he brought him along, and even though he was a capable fighter, he knew Carnicero would likely hurt him or use him to get to him if they knew they were related.
"Ah...yeah. I guess I figured I could use all the help I could get. You are right though, it is too risky. If Carnicero find out about his relation to me it will not help things." Frato replied, looking concerned. "Alright, let's get out of here and get on our ship quietly."

"Praise the gods." Killy raised her hands in a mock revelation. "The boy has a brain and knows how to use it."
Javier looked visibly relieved at the hybrid's sound deccision. "Good to hear. I know you'll feel bad for ditching him, but it's for the best. You'll make it up to him when we get this whole clan business cleared up and catch up to him again alive and well."
Javier stretched himself and walked towards the inn exit. "Shall we get going?"
"Right behind you. Frato too." Killy said, dragging Frato along for the ride and to their destination. "Hey Frato, while we're at it, wanna stop by a few shops or at the market? I think we still have some time to kill."

Franslin stood awkward for a long while with his two friends as they wait for Frato to arrive after watching him being dragged into the bar. The blue coated Burmecian made a nevous cough in his fist then turns around to his friend "Look... I was hoping to introduce him to you guys but it seems he's not coming... So take care, and don't worry Cap'n will find a new Quartermaster while I'm gone for now." he gave the red-headed male a hug then gave the female burmecian a kiss on the cheek then waved as he ran off and scurried into the pub.
With a perplexed look on his face, Franslin tried to find where Frato went off to... The hell....?
Heading out the back Franslin to see the road side markets, instantly jumping to conclusions assuming Frato went there he yelled out "Goddammit!!" then began to march angrily through the crowd....

Tho Franslin was luckless when it comes to finding his brother, his luck for finding the best street to deal in fine products was at it's peak.
"Hey you, you look like an intelligent being that dabbles in sorcery and instruments!" A long-bearded nu mou tried to catch Franslins attention with flattery and charisma. "If you are looking for spells and instruments, I have what you seek here!"
"Ha! Don't listen to that weakling." This time the voice came from the other side of the nu mou. A young, brash Bangaa was showing off all kinds of weapons and armor. "Magic is for the weak! What you need is a strong offense AND defense, and I can give you what you need right here."
"Kupo! Traveler's items for sale!" A young green vested moogle shouted out to the crowd. "If you're going to fight monsters or travel from the safety of the citizens, take some safety with you. Potions, ropes, medicines, and antidotes for sale! If you want to live to see another day, come right here!"

Franslin stopped after hearing the Nu mou talk to him and he replied by saying "Oh nice what kind of Instrume-" that is untill the bangaa interupted.
"Umm sure... What kind of weapons and armor do you ha-" he was aboutt asked before the moogle jumped in.
"WHAT? TRAVELER'S ITEM'S? OKAY! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!" Franslin yelled out when he finally snapped. "In fact! Everyone show me what they have for sale!" pausing for a while as he starts to rub his temples. He then walks up to the Nu Mou and clears his throat "Alright, since you were the first, show me what you've got...." but he did pause to point at the Bangaa "Also you, what kind of Gauntlets do you have?"

Franlin grabs his bag of gil, he hands the Nu Mou 100 gil to buy the Ring of Luck, then turns around to examine the Electric Digits Gauntlet attachments "I do also use Thunder magic...." he hands the Bangaa 100 gil and buys that too.

"Hey there sport." A grinning monkey sitting in front of a soap box called out to the burmecian. "Wanna try your luck? You'll get a chance to triple your winnings. How about it?"
"Psst...hey you." A army-shaved human called out to Franslin. "Ya want a chance to earn some quick gil? Got a small job if you're interested."

Franslin just stuffs everything he bought into backpack, he paused to look at the two men then shook his head "Sorry not right now, I'm in a hurry. Good luck with business." he then continued off into the crowd to start searching for where Frato went off too...

"It...it can't be." A soft male voice came from behind Franslin. A long white-haired cleyran in a white mages robe slowly walked up to the red mage is awe and disbelief. "Can you truly be..."
He walked up closer, showing more of his features. He was young, frail in a feminine fashion, carried a rod in one hand, his other hand seem to be reachout out to Franslin's face.
"Please forgive this awkward tension good sir but...I have to know. Have you ever been to Port Harmonia, a burmecian settlement? I..just need to be sure of something."

While Franslin was walking, he was suddenly stopped by the feminine cleyran before him, and in a confused manner he blinked a couple times and tilted his head when the girlish hands reached for his face with a light complimentary to his white fur blush.
The Red Mage payed attention to the male's words while he spoke and started out to answer with "Its alright I guess... But Port Harmonia... Port Harmonia... Yes, a few times actually. Before I use to go there often to help out with the shipments and what not but one time the town was suddenly attacked. That attack happened a long time ago, I'm surprise that story made it out this far.... Are you from there by of any chance....?" he then asks.

The young cleyran's eyes lit up like a brilliant flash at the admission. "By gods, it really is you." As if the poor white mage was holding his breath, he began to breath out heavily in excitement. His began to smile and tears began to form in his eyes.
"I..oh forgive me. This must be so strange to you um...I..I don't know if you'll remember me. But yes, the town was attacked by raiders years ago. The port authorities were crumbling against their assault and they were robbing and killing indiscriminatly. Me and my family was trying to escape the carnage as well when a few of those bandits blocked our path.."
The young mage breathed again to help keep his story going. "I was a young boy back than. Never thought about what I'd do in the future or had much hope for a better life. We were quite poor too and were about to lose everything."
The cleyran looked up to Franslin's face with admiration. "But then you came and changed everything. I remember you as if it was yesterday. You defeated those raiders that were about to take everything I loved away from me. You looked down to me, smiled, ...and told us that everything was going to be alright..." He wiped his face with a sleeve of his robes, trying not to embarrass himself by crying.
"I watched you defeat the rest of the bandits and help drive them away from our settlement. The way you fought them was like watching an epic battle between good and evil. You did more than save us good sir, you also saved my soul. You taught me that there really is some good men in this cruel world. I vowed to be like you and do everything I can to save and protect the innocent. It took me years to become who I am today but I perserveered because of what you've done for us. To think I would actually meet you again I..."
He stopped, almost choking with emotions. He smiled harder to hide his further embarrasment. "Forgive me, this...this is all so much. I never expected to see you so soon. Um, perhaps we can meet over a drink or talk somewhere else. That is if you're not busy. And where are my manners!"
The young rat produced an arm towards Franslin. "My name is Daniels. A white mage and ..well a mercenary for now. I am so honoured to meet you again Hero Franslin."

Franslin stood there, he was still confused but was no able to piece everything together, once the White Mage began to breath heavily and noticed he was starting to tear, he slowly picked up his arms to wipe them away with his sleeves. "No no its alright-" But then grew silent as he listened to Cleyran speak. He remembered the horrors the day Port Hamonia was under attack by raiders and bandits, the flames that cracked and the blood that flowed. The Red mage's expression went dark when he had remembered in his mind when he saw the bodies of the innocent that layed on the scorched grounds and houses that fell, all the screaming, crashing, and blades clashing with loud clangs.
"I... I remember you... Yes, I can see it your face now...." Franslin calmly spoke up in a gentle tone. "I did more than just say everything was going to be alright... I promised everything would be alright.." After thinking about all that darkness that day, he also thought about the light that shined there as well, the joy that cheered through out the town that echoed when the bandits the left, the smiles, and when he returned to the Port months later to see the outstanding progress that was made in the repairs.
The burmecian slowly cracked a smile while his expression brightened "An epic battle good and evil, huh? Through my travels my opinions on Good and evil somewhat changed, what is really good? What is really evil? Those I questions I need I have yet to discover the true meaning of.. But I know for a fact... There is always justice... And justice strikes its gavel down and shows judgement to those who oppose peace....!" After the young Cleyran offered out his hand to him, he denied it... Instead.. he gently pulled him into a hug and looked down at him "No... I'm honored to meet you... I never realized my deeds in the past had such impact on others. I guess by you telling me all that... Not only you learned something from me that fateful day... But I learned something from you." he smiled warmly. "But about that drink, it'll have to wait I think... I've been searching for my brother, why don't you join me and help look for him why don't you? He looks um... Well I'm sure you'll recognize him when you see him, as a burmecian he really stands out and he has brown hair."

Daniels was taken aback by the hug, he just stood there frozen and blankly stared, unsure on whats happening. As the realization slowly dawned on him, and as he heard Franslin's speech, he began to slowly hug the burmecian back. Then out of happiness, his grip tightened and it became more then he can handle.
"Thank you Sir Franslin. Thank you for everything. You have no idea how long I've waited to find you and tell you that. Thank you, thank you so much..." His body visibly shakened, overcome with emotions.
It took him moments to calm down and for Franslins inquiry to reach his ears. His arms loosened their grip and fell to his sides. He smiled up to his hero. "A burmecian? Well I've only seen one with brown hair, but I've only been in this city for a day at most. Do you know his name or any other information I can go by?"

"Sir Franslin huh...? Honestly like the sounds of that, never did stick around Burmecia long enough to become a Dragoon...." Franslin commented with a slight chuckle then smiled as he hugged Daniels tightly and happily "And thank you as well, I'm very glad you told me all that, that reminds me how is your family and Port Hamonia doing now?"
After the Cleyran loosened its grip around the Burmecian and fell down, Franslin instantly crouched down and helped Daniels back up "Take it easy now, don't wanna keep on falling do ya?" He chuckled again for a brief moment then described his brother better. "Well, to be exact he's a hybrid of a Burmecian and a Hume... Sometimes when he tries to make his point you want to smack him- Well thats how I remember him away, its been a long time he might've changed... I do know he uses Lance, has a black vest with blue pants, if you see him just yell 'FRATO' and see if he responds or something. Oh yeah, and his name is Frato." he paused for a moment to think then nodded "That should be good enough information right there. And yeah, he's in this city, I saw him earlier being dragged into the Pub but he's not there anymore."

"Fr-Fr-Frato? Did you say Frato?" Daniels stammered at the coincidence. "My word. If you hadn't described that particular person so precisly, I would've thought this was some kind of joke. Yes! I actually do know him. In fact, part of my job as a mercenary was to proect him and elad him back to Burmecia."
The cleyran mage pondered the circumstances for a while, than his eyes opened in enlightenment. "Well if we can't find him in the city, how about we go to where we're supposed to take Frato. See we were supposed head towards the harbor and board a ship that was to set sail for the Cleyran coast. Even if Frato hasn't boarded yet, he's sure to come in soon."

Franslin took the minute to let out a soft laughter, oh what irony was it and such coincidence in this little world that the Burmecian would run into someone that knew his brother. He fixed his coat for a second "Wow, this all was unexpected. But yeah, instead of looking for him and just waiting for him at the ship is such a better idea....! Lead me to it, I was asking which ship was his after I showed him the ship I was staying at, but like I mentioned I was dragged away by one of his friend and vanished."

Frato still looked uncertain as Killy and Javier tried to reassure him. Now that his brother knew, was it really right to refuse his help this way? The hybrid didn't get much chance to ponder this, since he was ushered out by the white mage rather hastily.
"Hey, you don't have to drag me!" Frato complained, before hearing her question. "Hrm...I did take the time to arm myself up with Daisy here before the attack, but okay. I still have a lot of spare gil and I may as well get some potions and such if nothing else." There aren't any real Foxtrot members on the boat to bribe for info anyway, and I doubt I could buy information from Violet.

A bearded nu mou took interest in the wandering hybrid and waved a hand over to him. "Hey you sir! I sense you have a magical aura about you...not enough to be a caster, but I'm sure you'd be interested to see my wares of magical armaments!"
"Again old man, you need to get your eyes checked." A bangaa on the other side of the nu mou's stall yelled. "Look at this rat! His muscles, the spear on his back, it's obvious he's a pure fighting machine. Come here fellow warrior, I'll give you everything you need to make your enemies fear you!"
"Kupo kupo, you traveling sir kupo?" A vested-moogle called out. "If you are in need of potions or anything to remove those nasty and annoying status efefcts, come by here!"
"Hey there looky-loo, looking for an edge in the battlefield?" A Viera yoo-hoo'd the hybrid and tried to lure him over with a finger. "Facing an army of monsters running straight at you? I have caltrops that'll stop them flat in their tracks. Having a hard time taking down a stubborn enemy? I have throwing knives laced with a powerful poison, enough to take down a behemoth. Want to make a non-lethal take down? Try my sleeping and paralyzing potions. You won't regret it!"
