Eva kept her eyes adverted while Gippal said the town might be that way. As they started walking she noticed Braska hesitating to let her go ahead. She gave a tiny smile and a slight red appeared in her cheeks before slipping by him and next to Gippal on the other side. As they all walked side by side, with Gippal in the middle. Braska then went on to explain what he had been doing. She gave a weird look as he mentioned a dark wizard and a fiend and a chicken... but it wasn't directed at him, but while she looked ahead. That definitely was strange.
Gippal gave a funny smile at Eva as she zipped up next to him, acting more like she did when he met her two years ago. Shaking his head with the smile he looked at Braska as he mentioned that things were basically normal for him. the odd combination of an issue. He chuckled, "I bet." Agreeing it might be a long story. But he raised a finger. "But From what I heard, was the Besaid Aurochs won the last few tourneys." Trying to rub it with a big smile.
When he was asked what he had been up to he sighed, looking forward. "Most definitely a longer story." He was about to give a short version, but that's when he heard the roar of a huge fiend. Perking up he said, "No time for that now, Someone might be in trouble!" They would have to move fast, and Eva wasn't a fast runner, especially with her dress. He looked to her and said, "I'm gunna have to carry you is that alright?"
Eva blushed at the thought but quickly nodded, allowing him to scoop her up in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he turned to Braska and jerked his head. "Come on!" And despite carrying her, he was still pretty quick on his feet. All the while in his arms she had a hard time keeping a blush off her face. She didn't care he was running, being in his arms just felt good.
Teh three of them blindly raced in the direction they thought they heard the roar, and only a few minutes later saw a large flash of a fire. Which pinpointed the location, but when they got there, there was only a massive fiend slowly disappearing into Pyreflies. Gippal let her down gently onto her feet while he went over and crouched down, his eyes studying the dirt. After a minute he straightened up while still crouched, his arms resting on his thighs. "looks like only one person fought this Fiend, He must be pretty tough, that Fiend is a nasty bugger."
Urick listened to them as they offered their thoughts on what he said, Fiends have been becoming worse, but he didn't think it was because of the lack of summoners. This must have been the doing of Thane, and bringing the aeons back, and his threat of returning sin. Perhaps the Fiends could feel it as well...
Nai decided to meditate, which was something Urick wish he could of done at the moment. He rolled his shoulders, and as he did he noticed Alex favoring her shoulder. He slowed down till he was right next to her and motioned with his hands to let him take over. Despite everything he was actually in pretty good shape. "Let..Me." he said softly as he touched her shoulder gently, indicating he noticed her favor it.
It was then he heard a Roar in the distance. They were close actually...
