“Oh, that’s right, we’ve done absolutely everything!” Estelle threw her hands out in wide, dramatic gestures as she and her friends walked behind Dylan and Dalia, their eyes glancing over the various, wonderful displays and perfume aromas drifting up from the floral displays and oil canvases. Xandra had begun to respond to Dalia’s questions about their Guilder activities, setting it up for Estelle to take over the lead perfectly. “We and Dylan first met when we were hunting for treasure! We weren’t together much within those ruins… but when we came across some guardian statues, we totally kicked their ass together! And since then, we’ve…” She hesitated slightly, as soon as she remembered the emotions of the events in Weir. “Rescued a town full of people who had been cursed into trees… helped to stop a slave ring, and even stopped the demon Abraxis from being resurrected! And we couldn’t have done any of it, if it wasn’t for everyone!”

Estelle grinned, stretching her arms out and then walking with them behind the back of her head. The floral arrangements suddenly reminded her of the beauty and splendour of the flower infested Lafeal, even if it did come as a result of unsettling origins. Some of the exquisite paintings on the other hand, brought back memories of their battles in Vandrell, and the priceless canvas mounted about the walls of the haunted mansion. Truly, they had experienced a lot in their journey so far, and Aliquam was simply the latest. And thankfully, also the quietest and most peaceful. 

After a long year of travelling and embarking on danger filled missions, Aliquam brought with it a respite and joy they had all long since desperately needed. 

“Hey, Dylan. I don’t think I ever actually got to learn before,” Estelle suddenly blinked in realisation. “What made you want to become a Guilder? Coming from a place like this, being a Guilder is so much more different…”

Meanwhile, a short distance away, lurking behind an expertly trimmed hedge display in the shape of a fierce, pouncing lion, was a young individual with brown hair, carefully watching Dalia’s group passing by, with a wide grin and quiet laugh that resembled a ‘huehuehue’. The glass of his spectacles shone fiercely as he pushed them up the bridge of his nose, caught in the reflection of the sun. He lifted his camera up, focusing his sight through its lens, and centring the camera up, up and over the Pride. 

“Woah, there’s Miss Dalia again, looking as perfect as ever! That luscious hair… those beautiful hips… that heavenly smile…!” *click!* “She’s absolutely wonderful!”

“And… woah ho ho! What do we have here?!” The camera’s focus shifted, to the black haired girl behind. “Look at that shine! That demureness! That skin! Wow!”

Again, the camera turned, this time following, and snapping after a red haired girl. “WOAH! Check that hair out! It’s like she’s on fire! She has a pretty nice body too, like her friend! A bit lacking in the chest and hips department, sure, but damn if it isn’t nice, an- !! OH MY GOD!!”

The camera shifted once more, this time centring completely on a tall, blonde haired woman in a red dress. The camera’s focus zoomed in, first on her face, freezing to take a picture, and then on other parts of Amy’s body. “That… that face! Those… those hips! That behind! Those bo- bo- bo- bo- !! It’s… it’s like an angel has come down from heaven itself!!”

The frenetic snapping of photos being taken continued on and on, with the cameraman behind it panting heavily.

Get better angles for better shots. For art! Because this woman… this woman was a goddess!!
