  1. Marianne's additional information caught Leon's ear, it wasn't much but it was something to take back to the ship at least. Still, he kept his focus on Azame and her reaction told Leon a lot, he felt bad no one briefed her on the situation. Though he maintained his serious expression even after she pushed past him, he just stepped back to allow her to leave for the car and watched her go. "..." It wasn't the most elegant solution, but it was one that got her to withdraw at least. Well, that's one down. Though the other task in mind wasn't something that was easy to do, especially given he had cut the tailed girl's chance to board the Dawn. The girl was indeed a threat, but Leon had no idea how to handle her if she decided he couldn't be saved. Marianne spoke first and beat him to it, it seemed like she tried to get a handle on the situation herself. Though it seemed like she attempted to leave Leon to handle her and save themselves, it was sly but understandable. "Sure, sounds fine to me. But I'd love to talk later though, so..." He leaned a table on the side and took out a pen from his coat pocket, he hastily wrote something on it and turned to her. "Maybe we can discuss that tour later, when the dust settles." He responded in a lowered tone and slipped it in her hand. With that done, he turned back to Aly with another serious gaze. "He's really not worth your time, so how bout you let these two go on with their business?"
  2. Rivane was certainly very far ahead, though Silvano didn't really worry about him. He was more worried about to oncoming pegasus riders. Kagi seemed prepared to take them, the gambler knew when to fold and decided to keep clear of at least one of the pegs hoping his luck would save him from the sights of the other. Silvano moves 12, 16 to take cover in the woods.
  3. "Oh don't give me that. You said you didn't need friends, and one invite to the ship gets you to change your mind?" He gave the biker a brief glance before he stepped very close to Azame and turned his head up to her heightened position on the table. He lowered his voice so most of the bar goers wouldn't hear, though he knew they most likely had a lot of attention on them already. "You didn't get briefed, that's a problem. After we finished our meeting with Avyndor the head of security wanted to see us, and she started the meeting with a gun to the captain's head. They've got plans that involve the whole damn moon, this isn't something I'd joke about Azame." He narrowed his eyes. "There's more where that came from, and I'll explain everything back at the ship. But I need you to trust me on this, please."
  4. It seemed like the lady in white was indeed his ticket, he smiled wide at the prospect of good info. "Great, then what are we waiting-" He turned to Azame, only to find she was gone...and with a certain helmeted, tailed figure and a man spooked out of his mind. Just seeing Azame so close was one thing, his heart nearly dropped when she invited her onto the ship. Fucking hell, and I thought I had issues toeing the line. He was about to go and intervene, but Marianne quickly made a deal he wouldn't forget. The truth was Leon would have done this regardless, though it did make him wonder if there was more to this lady than her profession. "...consider it done." He looked Marianne in the eye (ignored the ass slap part), then turned back to the other table as he made his approach. Leon knew this was a life or death situation. While he had no idea what the girl in black was, he knew things were going to take a hell of a turn if they didn't cut things here. "Azame. Not her." He spoke in a stern tone to match his sharp gaze, something that probably caught people off guard considering how laid back he presented himself up until now. "It's one thing to bring unauthorized civs onboard, it's a whole different ball park bringing her. She works for Shezsacosh, and I promise you the captain will have both of our asses if she comes onboard with us. That's only half of the hell we'll get too." He turned toward Aly and kept his fiery leer on high. "Dunno why the man in the chair caught your attention but we're done here."
  5. Leon's head turned to his bubbly and bouncy companion when she approached. "You've been busy, huh? Wait, what's this about a ship tri-" Before Leon could really get into that topic the blue haired dancer he had his eye on earlier approached as well, with a lean that could catch any man's attention. Oh...yeah busy is right. "Aaah, she's been talkin' about me, huh? Aren't I popular." He chuckled. His eyes were locked on the form, he enjoyed it a little. But he did notice the glances every now and then. It seemed like they were in a hurry to go, and Leon could guess why. "Mm, it's a real shame though. I didn't get what I was looking for..." He finished his glass and stood up. "But maybe you could help me out, considering we're all headed the same way too. Mind a fun chat along the way?" He laid it on a little thick but he hoped she could help at least.
  6. "Good morning, Luce, Mikhail. I take it you heard some of that?" Eve turned to the cat and lad as she took a muffin. "At this rate I won't have to worry about my stomach around you, Mikhail." She took a quick bite and swallowed. "Mm...but yes, Miles is returning to Lohen with the princess. It's unfortunate but I've been told she received troubling news. Though that's not something to concern ourselves with for now. As soon as the girls come down we'll be headed to Jasmine." Nathan folded his arms and nodded. "We'll make up for the loss of man power in other ways, maybe we'll come across new friends to fill the hole." He looked up the stairs with some concern. "So what's the plan once we hit the road, Eve?" "Get a wagon or two ready and go from there, though we'll have to be on high alert. I've also been made aware that there may be unruly guests along the road, which doesn't surprise me. Given all the commotion that happened the other day the capital defenses are all here and patrols are light, so you all keep on your toes and I'm sure we'll be fine." She put a hand on her hip as she looked down at her scarfed neck. "The choker is a good fallback, but it won't keep us from the fire forever."
  7. The red head's eyes were firmly glued to the visor of the helmet, and in his all seeing eye he was able to glance at...more darkness. It did too well covering up whatever secret identity she had been hiding. She doesn't seem to mind me staring at least, makes a guy wonder if she cares if I see anything. She's pretty let down I refused to see her work. Wonder what her angle could be... When Aly turned Leon down he couldn't help but give a big sorrowful frown. "Aww, really? I'm hurt. Here I thought we could be friends...~" But just as soon as he ended that line he let out a short laugh. "Ahaha, I guess not. Nothin' in life is free, not even my own life. I had to fight tooth and nail for that one." He leaned back in his seat as he gave up on his prodding. "Y'know what, that's fine. You can keep that for now. I know you know my name already, but for the sake of formality I'll introduce myself anyway. Leon Silvavolke. Here's to an interesting road ahead of us!" He lifted his glass in a toast, though he didn't expect the girl to return the gesture.
  8. "Understood, I'm with you Gean!" The pinkette kept close to support her girlfriend, her eyes were firmly on Gean's back. We'll make it out, I believe...no. "I believe in you, Gean." It was something worth saying, no regrets left behind after all. Renais holds her ground.
  9. Told enough? What does that mean I wonder...and her speech pattern. Hm. Leon couldn't help but keep his eyes locked on the dark helmet of the smaller figure, between that and her tail Leon almost thought he was chatting up a beast of some kind. It only got him more and more curious, especially after she brought up her own work and an offer to see it. His heart was almost set ablaze as a small smile crept on his face. But he recalled Sia's words, and remembered that he wasn't here just for himself. "Oooh, that's real tempting. If you asked me during my ol' merc days I'd totally take you up on that. So sorry, but I'm gonna have to turn you down." He took another sip of his martini. "Besides, given our positions in all this somethin' tells me I'm gonna get a good look at your work anyway." He leaned forward a little, as if he tried to peer through the helmet visor. As best as he could anyway. "Well that's fine if you don't know, I'll get what I need in the end. I always do." He let that confidence flash a little. "But while I got you, can you at least tell me why you're working with Shezsacosh? I'm sure you can't speak for the big guy or whoever was hiding behind the desk, but you gotta have a reason."
  10. When Renais was held by Gean, the pinkette just leaned into the hug. At this point she was past protesting about sudden hugs. "Just don't be too reckless. The last thing we want is to trip up before the finish line." She gave Gean a quick peck on the cheek before she pulled away. "You'll get more later when we finish, you and Kise." She had so much she wanted to get off her chest, she just had to make sure she survived. She had to make sure Gean survived too, and all of the Tigers. Renais moves toward 7, 27
  11. "Of course, my staff is yours. I'll watch your back then." Renais just caught her vengeful mumbles, it was very clear what her motivation was. Renais simply kept it in mind and followed behind, determined to watch her back on top of the other Tigers. Speaking of. "Here, Alvira." She lifted her staff toward her squad mate. Renais moves 5, 21 and distant Mend's Alvira's wounds.
  12. Renais was very close by when Roxanne was pierced by a pure blade. The pinkette knew it would hurt her especially, but the twist in her expression really sold how impactful the weapon was. Given her own heritage she was afraid of being attacked by the same weapon, but thankfully she didn't have to worry about that for the moment. The sheep's counterattack was fierce and unforgiving, and her assailants were floored immediately. Roxanne stood as the victor, albeit an incredibly injured one. Sari was determined to lead the pack with Alvira not far behind him, which gave the healer a moment to tend to the sheep. She quickly rushed to Roxanne's side and used a Mend on her severe wound. "It's no trouble at all, Roxanne. This is why I'm here after all." She looked her in the eye as she channeled her magic through her staff. "Pure weapons are deadly to most of us after all, so don't push yourself even if you feel well after my healing...but if nothing else you really showed them the floor. Good work." Roxanne really was quite impressive to watch, someone Renais had a lot to ask about. Renais moves 5, 18 and Mends Roxanne's wound.
  13. Contact was made. Leon didn't expect to be face to face with one of Shezsacosh's affiliates, but it wasn't a terrible outcome. He wanted information, and he couldn't think of a better source at the moment. It just so happened to be the riskiest source. Well, I got her talking...she was small back at the meeting room but I remember seeing a tail on her. He couldn't see her lower body from the angle he was in, but he remembered the tail moved somewhat during the meeting. Just the thought of not knowing exactly what she was put a little bit of fear in the mercenary, but he kept a straight face. If she came here often enough she wouldn't cause trouble. So she might not be normal, big deal. I don't think she'll start a fight but if she does I'm armed with...a lighter. The joke he thought to himself got him to lighten up a little, he smiled at the helmeted bargoer. "Ah just a habit of mine really. Every time I visit a new city I just gotta get out there and see what the deal is. Dunno how much Shezsacosh told you, but in my line of work info can save lives." He took a sip of the cocktail he purchased for Marianne and leaned in toward Aly. "So that said...wanna help a guy out? Your boss encouraged us to learn what was going on with the moon anyway, and since you're here I may as well ask: What's going on?" He didn't expect a direct answer, but he sure hoped for one at least. Before he had to resort to desperate actions anyway.
  14. Silvano started to make his way through the woods as Kagi lead them through and went to town on a Draco Rider. He saw a wounded bandit and swung at him. Silvano moves toward 12, 19 and swings Gemini Bandit 3.
  15. Renais rushed forward and lifted a staff up. "Gean, let's move. Too much to do and too little time!" It shined bright and pulled her mermaid girlfriend to her side with a warp sigil. Renais moves toward 7, 12 and uses the Rescue staff on Gean to move her toward 7, 13
  16. "Well I got an eye for beauty I guess, and fortune favors the bold." It was a very text book approach, one he expected the lady in his eye to know well, but he had to play his hand no matter what. When the cocktail slid out he took it and rolled over a card to take care of the tab. "Much appreciated. If she's really that popular then I got my work cut out for-" But his gaze drifted enough to notice someone completely unexpected. The person in his eye wore something akin to a biker helmet, and was rather short. As soon as they spoke Leon's eyes widened. "..." Ah, is this really how tonight is gonna go? He changed his plans and pulled the glass close to himself as he settled in. "Howdy." He shot her a glance. "Pretty sure we met earlier, in your boss' meeting room if I remember that right." He couldn't help but eye her figure and wonder what her deal was. "Come here often?"
  17. Azame went off as soon as they hit the road, Leon let out another laugh as she indulged herself. "Well you got the spirit that's for sure." He couldn't help but hum the tune himself, but he kept his eyes through the window as she drove off. He studied the city as best as he could, but he still managed to have a good time riding shotgun with someone fun like her. "Nice drive." Once they got to the entrance of the bar, the red head stepped out with Azame and eyed the doors. "Hammered like a nail I'd bet, looks like a fancy enough place to get what you want." He looked at Azame. "Hell if I get something juicy here I'll treat you to whatever you want!" He partially wondered if he just signed a blank check, but decided it was something to deal with later. The merc scanned the bar as soon as they got inside, and he liked what he saw. "Not bad at all. I've seen plenty of bars back on earth, but this one's pretty cozy. I'll be in view don't worry, just gotta get to work." With that said he stepped through the bar at a slow pace while he continued his search. Now...who stands out the most here? Other than Azame anyway. He briefly caught Marianne and Senri. She certainly stands out, think I'll give that a shot...just need some build up. So he stepped over to the bar and waved at the bartender. "Yo. I was hoping to send a pretty lady a drink, think you can arrange that?"
  18. Renais rushed behind Gean and the others, she kept her eyes square on her girlfriend's toned back. Renais had expected pure weapons of course given everything up to this point, but it was still information that kept her on her toes. Not just for herself, but for all the Tigers. Renais moves 5, 4
  19. Azame really was a playful type, she got Leon to laugh lightly. Hanging out with other pretty women...wonder what the captain thinks about that. He walked over to the vehicle and got in shotgun. "I like all kinds of music, country, rock, jazz. That said I feel like my voice might wake the dead if I sing, but I'll give it a shot. Hope it's a karaoke bar, I was gonna snoop around for info." He pulled the seatbelt on. "But for real thanks for showing me around, I owe ya."
  20. Nathan took a good look at the cookies in his hand, and he let out a chuckle. "Much appreciated, Mikhail. I'll return the favor." He smiled at his companion. Maybe being in a group has it's perks. He turned to see Ichika address Alouette again, and he looked like he wanted to say something but he withheld. Meanwhile, Eve took a good look at Alouette and Ichika. Seems like they had a busy day. The pinkette simply smiled at the team. "By all means get all the rest you can tonight, we'll be leaving an hour before noon tomorrow." When the group began to disperse she leaned back in her chair and sighed. So much to do, and I feel like there's not enough time to do it in. Soon enough she decided to call it a night too, and soon enough the night had shifted to the next day. The sun had lifted above Crecia and the inn the group stayed at, while some of the group slept in for a while longer a certain swordsman from Lohengrin was immediately called downstairs for a surprise meeting between Eve and Alexandra. The discussion was brief and to the point: Alexandra had to return to Lohengrin and she needed Miles back, Eve didn't protest she simply let the two leave the inn. Though she looked aside with a furrowed brow and a tsk from her lips. "Damn..." Nate stepped down as soon as her meeting ended, he noticed her expression and stepped up to ask. "Did something happen?" "Ah, Nate. Morning." She turned her head toward the fighter and softened her expression. "Well, I hope you didn't get attached to Miles. Alex took him back, apparently something changed. Before you ask, it's not about the war. It's about Saratara, the nation near Lohengrin and Garmr." She sighed. "It doesn't concern us immediately, but either way it cost us some help." The blond looked over Eve's shoulder and watched the princess and her retainer leave. "All the more reason for whoever's left to put in their all then, I'm sure they can handle whatever happened."
  21. Louise's playful smirk and response was the last thing he expected to see today, but she was serious about making things right. Looks like the clouds are out of the sky. He was relieved, but that didn't mean he was going to give up on Sia. "Have fun." He gave a brief wave to the ladies before he turned back to Azame. "Oh you do? Well lucky me." He smiled wide. "I messed up earlier, big time. Really got the captain upset, so I wanted to make it up to her. So I wanna go find a good bar to listen for something juicy to bring back." He stepped up to his buxom partner. "It's in my nature to scope out new places anyway, so I hope you don't mind." Wonder if she's good in a fight, she did have a good grip.
