"Oh my, young, handsome, and has exquisite manners..." The cleyran maiden allowed herself to be handled by the gentlemanly red mage. "And to think that you are the brother of Frato, how intrigueing..."
The cleyran rubbed a hand under her human gaurd's chin. "Yes, they were the ones that told me you just came in. Such obedient, loyal boys. Aren't you my precious?" Neither guards reacted or said a word, only staring into empty space. The cleyran shrugged them off and went back to the matter at hand; Franslin.
A small crash of dishes however nearly interupted the meeting. Daniels, upon seeing Violet, took her appearance by complete surprise and dropped the tea set he was carrying. "Oh! Oh L-Lady Violet, I-I-I didn't expect t-to see you so s-soon!" He began to clean up the mess from under him. "Sorry about all this, If I knew you were coming-"
"Nonsense, no need for special treatment...yet..." The maiden didn't seem at all distraced by Daniels, she just kept her eyes onto Daniels face. "So tell me Mr. Corona. Are you aware of the situation your sweet brother is in? I'd hate for someone like you to be left out into the cold world of the unknown, hmm-hmm."
--------------------------------------
"How about Butt-head, The King Of Asses?" Called out a female voice from ahead of Frato and Bucky. Killy appeared with a grin on her charming face. "That way it'll match your personality. Ah but I kid. What's going on?"
"Oh Ms. Killy Kupo." The first mate was surprised to see the cleyran white mage. "What are you doing here, I thought you were going down to have a meal?"
"Eh, changed my mind, too crowded." He looked at Frato. "Also I saw Javier along the way. He seemed a bit upset, what happened between you two? Or shall I help you coming up with more names. I got a million of them."

Frato shot an angry glare at the white mage as he heard her insult. His expression softened slightly as he realised it was just Killy joking with him again.
"That's it, I've decided. I'll sign up for the tournament." The hybrid said to Bucky with a smile. "Put me down as Redwind."
The young dragoon then looked back up at the white mage. "Javier? Yeah...we got a little worked up about this tournament and whether I should enter. I snapped at him and asked just how am I meant to hide my face and racial features...I didn't think he'd brood over it for so long. Oh well...what about you? Did you come here for a reason or are you just here to annoy me?"

"Heh yeah, I guess when it comes to my brothers and I... Trouble looks for Frato... I stop trouble when ever it comes around... And my younger brother looks for trouble." Franslin replies to the Cleyran with a chuckle.
The burmecian brushes off the comments about the guards, he wasn't a fan about them being under a spell, once the loud crash thundered Franslin's ears perked high up and turns around "Oh Daniels! You alright there?" he was about to walk over and help but after hearing a statement he stops to think. Wait...No need for special treatment... Yet...? Alright then... Then shrugs it off.
"Why yes I am, Miss Violet-" Franslin answers and turns around to face her again.
"-In fact, that's the whole reason why I'm here on this ship." The red mage pauses to fix the lapels on his shirt "And a Cold world of the Unknown...? No... No... I've seen the world.. I've seen it in all its beauty and horror, there is nothing Unknown in this world but rather.... Hidden.. Filled with Secrets waiting to be uncovered to see the light of day again."

"Ooh, an adventurer..." Violet's eyes widened only slightly, but she was still intrigued enough to waltz slowly towards Franslin until she was close enough so he could feel the heat of her breath. "I've always had a fascination with those who likes to discover new things. Tell me Mr. Corona..."
The maiden placed a finger on the red mage's chest. "Do you like...exploring? Doesn't have to be new lands, so to speak. Just...whatever comes to mind. Hmm-hmm-hmm..."
-----------------------------------------------
"Jeez, you mad just because he tells you to be careful?" The cleyran shook her head as if trying to get rid of something Frato infected her with. "Bounties always catches the eyes of those who could use a little extra money. So we gotta be extra careful. Secrets saves lives, right Bucky?"
The moogle was already over at the tournament flyer, signing in for frato. "Annnnd..Kupo! You are in. The tournament will start tomorrow once we get all the entrants in. If you like, you can invite someone else, or even better, invite people to make a team. We're having team tournaments too."

Frato didn't look too happy with Killy's sniping remarks, but he kept quiet. He then smirked as he heard Bucky signing him up.
"Well, it's too late to worry about whether signing up or not is a good idea. Guess we'd better sort out a disguise for me now eh?" Frato said in a quiet tone to the white mage. He then turned to Bucky. "Okay, I'll go ask around and see if anyone else wants to join." He turned back to Killy once more and returned to a quieter tone of voice. "I'll pass on the team tournament. The best disguise in Gaia won't help me if any hopeful bounty hunter knows roughly who I'm travelling with. C'mon, let's go find the others and see if they want to join. Also, do you have a hood or anything I can borrow so I can cover my face?"

Franslin stood rather still and a tad awkwardly as Violet stands right in front of him "Well yeah, an adventurer so to speak... But more of a wanderer.... But yeah, I like exploring.." he replied and rubbed the back of his head.
"Well... Before I joined up with my brother here, I was part of another crew... There's this lost vault, more riches than one can imagine, more gold than a king can handle, and its all locked away deep inside an old mine, we believe Fiona Eischenberg; a friend of mine, her father has possible connection to the Vault since the mine use to be under Eischenberg administration." the red mage was a bit uneasy in thoughts when the Cleyran presses her finger against his chest "So uh... Do you like exploring...? I'd have to guess you do since you're here on this ship..."

The maiden listened to the stories of Franslin with what looks to be interested. Then the question about her came. "Oh, I LOVE exploring..." Violet inched closer and led her finger slowly from Franslin's chest downwards to his stomach and still going. "Would you like to know what I like to explore for the most?"
"Annnnd Sir Franslin!" Daniel's interrupted, at least he hoped he did. "Now that you are now formally met with Lady Violet, how about helping me set up some tea and snacks for our guests?"
"Awww..well that won't be necessary." Regretfull, Violet pulled her hand away. "I won't be here for long, But I do wonder if you'll be available to take care of some odd jobs for me. I assure you, you both will be very rewarded. Hmmmm?"
---------------------------------------
Killy stared at Frato, surprised by the hybrid's logic. "Uh...wow. That's...actually very smart. Makes me wonder if you really are Frato." Still Killy rummaged around her bag for something around and came up with a cat-eared white hood. The cleyran gave an apolegetic smile to the hybrid. "Ummm...this is all I could find. I brought it at a gift shop. I'm sure toy'll look cute in it...Anyways! Where do you want to go? Personally I think I might stay here. That spell crafting training area looks like it could teach me some usable skills."

Frato looked hopeful as the mage rummaged in her bag, but his eyes quickly widened in horror as he saw what she pulled out. A white cat eared hood? I can't wear that! I'll be a laughing stock if I fight wearing that thing! Rrg...maybe I should ask the others if they have hoods and see if I can wear something less embarrassing.
"Rrg...well it'll have to do. Thanks anyway." Frato replied, not looking very happy as he took the hood from Killy and quickly hid it in one of his pockets so no-one would see him with that ridiculous cat-hood. Thankfully Killy changed the subject. "Hrm...well I did come here originally to do some training with my javelins. I guess I should do that before worrying about talking to the others. Have fun with your spell crafting."
With that, the hybrid knight left her and headed to a suitable facility in the training area where he could practice throwing his javelins in peace. After about an hour of training, Frato felt confident enough with his javelin skills and would head to the catering area on the ship for a drink and see if he could find anyone from his party. (Unless a certain fluffy pink creature decides to interupt one of these events.)

The Red Mage sweatdrops a little with a light blush as the maiden's fingers goes from his chest to his stomach and slow goes lower "Umm... Sure..! Where do you like exploring?" he responded.
A sigh of relief brushes past in his mind when Daniels interrupted causing the Female to withdraw her hand away, Franslin was saved! For now!
"Sure." he answers in a light tone "I'll come by when I'm done here I promised to tell some stories to my friend here, I'd be happy to do some things around the ship n'stuff for you" Franslin stops for a moment and tilts his head "Odd jobs though...? I'm sure this won't be a problem, but if you need someone killed I'm not an assassin so you'll need someone else for that..." a soft chuckle escapes him and sighs "Well I'd offer to escort you back to your room but I'm sure that's why your boys are with you."

"Awww, aren't you the sweetest little thing..." Violet rubbed the red mage's chin playfully as you would a good pet. "I'm so satisfied to hear that I can always depend on the kindness of big strong men like you." She moved her hand away and turned towards the door.
"And don't worry, I won't be paying blood money. It's just a simple to-do job. Rub my back and I'll rub yours, so to speak. Hmm-hmm. Ta-ta my little morsels." And with the swing of her hips, she closed the door behind her, leaving the two nezumi's finally alone again.
"Oh man...I thought I was a goner for sure." Daniel's exhaled. "Ugh...well we were bound to meet her sooner or later. She's quite...unique, isn't she? So you really want to do some work for her Sir Franslin?"
-------------------------------------------------------
The nezumi drew some varied reactions from the hood he was wearing; mostly stares, few chuckles, some raised eyebrows, even some from the ladies that called him cute.
Even as he tried to practice with the javilin, his hood still attracted attention. Thankfully, perhaps on the positive note, the hood drew all attention away from his face.
After the hour has passed and the hybrid tried to leave, a female amber-short-hair gria caught Frato by the tail and looked at him with a grin. "Hey there sport. Couldn't help but notice that rediculous get-up you had. Tho more to the point, how you handle your javelins. You seemed to know how you can deal with them, but if you like, I can train you to use them like an expert (Accuracy with Javelins will be increased) for a small price of 250 Gil. I usually make students pay twice as much, I like that hat of yours and your guts for wearing it. What do you say?"

The burmecian just sorta freezes there when Violet rub his chin "Y-yeah think nothing of it, really... I'm just the helpful type of guy, you know? An-anyway... I'll see you in a bit, take care now...!" Franslin watches the Cleyran turn around and leave, he closes the door and instantly collapses and relaxes on a chair with a long exhale in relief.
"You weren't the only one... I thought she would like... Cast a spell on me or something? You saw how she was all into me, right? But yes... Unique... Very unique...." the burmecian sighed a bit and nods "Yeah, I'd do some work for her though.. I could use the gil anyway." he chuckles for a second and smirks "I did the stupidest thing, I left most my gil back at the other ship, Captain de Luna pays really well...."
"ANYWAY! How about some tea?" Franslin smiles brightly as he picks up a broom just in case "Here, lemme help you out. You got all the pieces?"

Not long after he left Killy, the hybrid decided to actually put on his cat-hood. He figured he may as well get used to wearing the blasted thing, and hiding his identity early on would ensure his safety even more. Still, Frato was determined to ask around and find something more dignified to wear after he finished training. He couldn't help but notice what attention he was getting with the cat-ear hood, and he was rather amazed by it.
Wha!? How come in this thing I'm getting a more positive reaction than when I walk around normally!? Gah! Are people that disgusted just because of my race? Oy...
Frato was then faced with a stranger offering him discounted javelin lessons, and after hearing this the hybrid started wondering if he should ever take off the cat-eared hood.
"Well thanks for the offer! That's really generous of you..." Frato smiled. "I'd love to have a proper lesson from you. Um...do I pay now or after the lesson?"
(OOC: How much gil does Frato have now anyway?)

"Thank you for the help. And closer to that than you think actually." Daniels said as she was picking up the peices of the tea set. "Most caster's need to chant for a few moments to cast 'Charm'. All that temptress has to do is look at you." The white mage shuddered for a moment.
"She's not a bad person. Well...not our enemy anyways. I just don't like how she uses her talents. And sorry to hear your money problems. I'd lend you my money if I could, except that a floating pink cat calling himself a "DM", whatever that is, refuses to let me do so." The white mage was momentarily distracted by a series of loud purrs.
The gimme Cat has managed to find its way inside the closest and in Franlin's backpack. In its mouth now was the dazzling ruby ring that was given to the red mage by Frato, slowly being covered in drool.
"Uh-oh, curiosity got the better of him." Daniel's shook his head. "Think we should get it back or just leave him be?"
-------------------------------------------
(OOC: Let's see...you have..NOTHING! Nada! Zilch! Now good day sir! You used the last of your gil on items =P)
"No money eh?" The gria rubbed her chin for a moment to think, then a smile crept up to her face. "Hey, how about you do me a favor..." She pointed over to a corner of the room where a anthropomorphic alligator was looking around the room suspiciously. From the looks of the gator, he appears to be a mace-wielding swordsman for hire and wore a chainmail set armor.
"That guy over there is giving me the creeps. I could've sworn I caught him trying to eyeball me. Either way, if you can get him to go somewhere else, I'll give you the lessons for free, deal?"

"Hm, so basically she's a seductress?" Franslin comments with a long sigh while he puts the boom away "I guess in that case... I should be careful when I'm around her.... Though I feel as if I should know more about her, would only make sense that I learn more about this Violet if I'm gonna do a couple jobs for her around the ship, right? Buuuut... We'll save that subject for some other time."
"Its fine, besides I wouldn't repay you till after this whole thing with my brother has been resolver. But umm... a floating pink cat... Sound um... Rather freaky... Anyway some down time would be ni-"
Franslin was about to lean in and hold Daniels' hand but the loud purring from Gimme and rummaging through his stuff perked up his ears and stares at the cat. "Crap.... Not good...." he says to himself "Ummm yeah... I don't want that ring getting lost any time soon." he turns his head to check it the door was closed all way then slowly crouches down.
"Psss-psss-psss..... Here, Gimme...." the Burmecian smoothly coaxes while he inches near the cat...

Frato gave a mental curse as he realised he'd already spent all his money, and looked up apologetically at the gria. To his surprise though, she had an alternative payment method he could use. The hybrid looked a little wary for a moment, before then looking curiously at the alligator mercenary looking around.
"Hrm...I guess it's worth a try. I wouldn't get your hopes up too high though." Frato replied, before heading over to the gator. The last thing I want to do is pick a fight with this guy. The dragoon tried to look friendly and spoke in a friendly tone. "Hey there. You looking for somebody?"

"Shh...don't bother me man.." The alligator hushed the new commer, still looking around. "But yea, if you must know, lookin fer a nu mou with a strange way of talking. Dresses hisself up like some scientist or whatever. Seen anyone that matches that description? I needs that bounty."
--------------------------------
The gimme cat back away from Franslin, ending up deep in the closet with its butt backed into the wall. It still kept the ring in its mouth and it had a worried look in its face.

"I can't say I have..." Frato answered, giving a look round himself for a moment. He then turned his attention back to the gator. "But if he dresses as a scientist, don't you think you're looking in the wrong place? Why would a scientist come to a training area? If I were you I'd try looking round in the cafeteria. He'll have to eat sometime won't he?"

Franslin slowly creeps up to the cat while clicking his tongue "C'mhere~... I just want a hug." the burmecian says in a soft gently voice as he crawls closer to Gimme and slowly reaches his arms out to the cornered cat.

"Huh...the cafeteria...that's a good idea." The alligator pondered this, then got up and began to walk out. "Thanks for the advice, I'll go check there now. Besides, I've been getting weird stares from that that dragon lady ever since I got here." And exited the mercenary.
The amber gria walked on over to Frato. "I'm impressed, you got him to walk out very easy with a smile on his face. Alright, a bargain's a bargain." The half dragon pulled out her own javelin and put it in the Hybrid's right hand. "Okay, now I want you to hold it like this...yea that's right, with your fingers like that. Now slowly shove this stick up your.." And so the gria gave Frato very helpful advice on javelin throwing, now he can throw javelins in a more accurate setting. Half an hour later, she was done.
"And there ya go! Thanks for the help buddy. If I ever need anyone else's balls to crunch, I'll call you." She laughed and went back to training.
---------------------------------------
"Rowr!" The way Franslin outstretched his arms put the Gimme Cat on the defensive and lashed out. It ran directly in the opening between his legs and went towards the door. Daniels tried to jump and snatch the little feline but the dextrous Gimme Cat managed to dodge out of the way. The cat jumped up to the door knob, a faint click was ehard, and the door opened.
"Oh crap!" The mage shouted. The cat opened the door further with it's paw and ran out. With the white mage in tow.

"GAH!" The burmecian yells as the cat runs between his legs, fails as he tried to catch and nearly fell up. He stands straight up on his feet but freezes when he saw Gimme open the door, the annoyance circuited through his brain making his eye twitch a couple times.
"OH COME THE BLOODY HELL ON! It knows how to open doors?" Franslin groans unassumingly and darts on after the gimme cat with the white mage.
