It's been quite a while since the two had gone out, just the two of them. It was almost surreal for Grisaia as he moved to and fro, conversing with several different merchants to get what they needed. Things almost felt like they were going back to normal...but unfortunately, something had been tugging at the blonde's mind; something he just couldn't let go and that the Mistress knew he couldn't let go as well.

Grisaia tried not to let it get to him as it would just ruin the moment, but as he found himself rowing the boat - he really should have thought through who should have stayed with him and who should have guarded the household, but oh well - slowly in hopes of not jostling their tools or the Mistress to much, the thought eventually began to eat away as his everlasting patience.
"Yeah, I've never done this myself...I hope we can get something good to share with the others." He commented as he paused his rowing to roll up his sleeves, resuming a few seconds after. As Vertti continued with an apology, the rabbit found himself staring down at his lap rather than looking at where he was taking them.

He was never one to doubt anything that Mistress said, but something just didn't feel right.
"Adventures? Nothing special in particular." He could only hope she wasn't hanging out with the wrong kind of people. "I talked to Lady Mie at least once ever other day. We even went out some places." But why hadn't she said anything to him about the situation? Did she not trust him? "Other than that, most of my time was spent looking for you." He said as his rowing slowed to a complete halt at this point. He needed to know, not some excuse that'd keep him quiet.

"I...I know you said that I didn't need to worry about that whole situation, but I feel like you're hiding something from me. Please, if there's anything else you haven't told me, let me at least know that no one's out there wanting to hurt you because of this." Grisaia pressed, keeping his gaze on their equipment as he already started assembling the fishing hooks and putting together the bait. He hadn't planned on moving the boat anymore until he's a least gotten some kind of answer.

"Why thank you! It's a pleasure to meet you, Mie." Eiko grinned, allowing all of her pearly white teeth to flash for a moment before disappearing behind her lips. She could practically feel herself melting at the compliments thrown her way, but it wasn't like she was going to stop her unless things got hairy. But trying out clothes and possibly making a new friends, she was totally down for that.

She could only watch intently as the purple fox grabbed the necessary tools to do a fitting. She'd probably need a place to actually change, it probably being the back of Mie's cart seeing how things were going. Eiko was never the type to really wear clothes that she hadn't made herself, so nervousness was slowly starting to settle in.
"N-No you're totally fine, I use to be pretty bad at it too, but I think I got a bit better. I must ask though, how did you get all of these clothes, they must have been pretty expensive?" Eiko chimed in as she looked down at her own attire with proud grin. Her clothes had be pleasant enough to catch Mie's attention, right? But if she was able to accumulate this much clothing, wouldn't it have been better to save it up for herself? "Yeah, I could definitely see how you feel. Making and selling things to other people is always pretty sketchy, especially since you don't know exactly what they want." The dove hummed in agreement before the nervousness from before ceased to exist as she found herself staring at the dress that would be fitted to her size. Not only was it a very pretty color, it was just her style too! Gods, Eiko hoped she hadn't been drooling.

"I-It's...it's so beautiful! You're really gonna fit it for me?" Eiko questioned as she smoothed down what she had on now so that the measurements would be a bit more accurate. While the dress itself had been pretty in every possible way, she was mostly afraid that her wings would get in the way of it all.

At the mention of linking hands, Loona found herself practically in the palm of two others, one of them being Ryder. It was quite awkward, especially since she's never really talked to him before, but it definitely beats messing up the teleportation for everyone else.

They found themselves in the middle of a field quite a ways away from the Keep.
“Whoa...” She breathed out as she hovered above the rest of the group to get a better look at their surroundings. The most noticeable thing was definitely the outpost, their destination. She already knew the trek would be a little much for her, but when wasn't it? With everyone coming to silent agreement that Ryder would lead the way, the group of red and yellows continued onward.

Their initial arrival to the outpost was more or less what Loona expected, with Geoff being more interested in the color of their hoods rather than their actual ability...not that she could blame him. They were all still very new to this... Luckily Ryder was bold enough to speak up from the entire group, something Loona was grateful for. And with that, the quick, but much needed, briefing began, the fairy hovering just beside Ryder's head.

It looked like they had two options, both of which would take a while to get to if they all went together. It seemed like Ryder thought the same as he also didn't want to waste time. It eventually lead to Tholo and Brighid taking care of the couple, and Ryder, Kiri and herself focusing on the widow. While she was glad she was with someone she knew, it was also a vice since the fairy wasn't quite sure what Kiri thought of her. And Ryder she couldn't help but be a bit intimidated by. But her feelings weren't important at the moment, it was getting the mission completed. So with a slight nod, Loona followed after the other humans, the natural light from her body illuminating the small space around her. When it was time to separate, Loona gave a slight bow to Tholo and Brighid, wishing them good luck.

A rather high pitched shout in his face made Grisaia wince, sensitive ears twitching in annoyance. He also seemed to freeze like Aer did, not that he notice the other had.
"Y-Yes, it is." He mumbled, hands locked in place even after the smaller pulled away from him. The blonde closed his eyes as he was still recoiling from the sudden and unexpected noise. "No, not really..." He only opened his eyes when he felt himself being turned around and pushed out of the room. What she had to say next made Grisaia frown. Robbed? He was inclined to ask more, but she continued before he was even given the chance. "Um right, I'm glad you feel better." He spoke with a slight bow right before she closed the door behind her. Maybe she wasn't as out of it as he initially thought, which was good. He hoped that he hadn't brought up any bad memories...he'd need to talk to her about that later.

Grisaia turned to face the Mistress once he felt Anubis' presence approach him as well as his metia glowing softly under his clothing. A slight tilt of his head was all Grisaia could do as the woman seemed more focused the wine than what just happened.
"Everything is in order, Aer was just...a little off But she seems a lot better than what I expected." He explained as he gave his mini report.

At the mention of going on a walk, the rabbit's ears twitched up in an amusing manner.
"I get to decide? Are you sure?" He asked, just in case she was entirely sure with him doing so. "If it's alright, might we go and check out the Docks? I'd like to...um, n-nevermind. I'll go and grab you a jacket, please meet me at the main entrance." And with that, Grisaia hurried to the Mistress' room, leaving both her and Anubis in the hall.

It didn't take long for the blonde to grab a light jacket from the Mistress' wardrobe as well as an umbrella despite the good weather, before he hurried down the main entrance. As he was heading down the stairs, Grisaia called upon Adhara to watch over the estate while they were gone as well as to check up on Aer every now and then. The request was given a grumble in response, but that seemed to be the norm as Grisaia didn't pay ant mind to it and instead took to the Mistress' side, ready leave when she was.

An awkward laugh escaped the brunette's mouth as she was pulled into the other's side, one arm draped over her shoulders. If she didn't really need anything then why was she called down? Eiko was tempted to ask, but instead she brought one had up to her staff shaped necklace, listening intently for the question to be asked in passing. She called herself a merchant, but it was a bit hard to believe with what she had on. Then again, Eiko was from the slums and she was able to dress like she can from quite the opposite, so once again, the brunette's mouth remained shut on that topic.
"O-Oh, thank you! I'm not exactly sure how helpful I can be, but I'll try my best." Although the compliment made her more inclined to help, even if she hadn't Eiko would still want to see what was up.

Wings drooped slightly as the two made their way to the fox's cart, and Eiko was immediately caught off guard by the exotic fabrics.
"Whoa, these are all yours?!" She gasped, now clenching her hands together to avoid reaching out and touching anything. "So pretty~" Eiko sighed quietly before the fox girl asked for assistance once again. It did strike the emerald eyed girl as odd that the other was asking for fitting despite she never having an intention on buying or anything like that, but could she really say no to trying on new clothes? "Sure! I could do that, no problem! Oh, I'm Eiko by the way, Eiko Tachibana. I guess we'll be working together for a little." She grinned, holding out a small hand to shake.

_{Jerusalem, Israel, Green Sahara @Nerevarine}

It was pretty obvious that this was Capella's first time on a Gummi Ship, seeing as she left the flying to auto-pilot and the Moogle, and that she was too busy pacing back and forth to really pay attention to anything else going on around her. Her eyes remained focused on the slightly crumpled letter in her hands. She still couldn't quite believe it. Why was she of all people chosen for something so important? There has to be more people without a doubt. But why send her off by herself then? Crumpling the letter up a bit more with her grip was all she could do to let out her frustration.

"Star Child, kupo? We've made it to Green Sahara." The Moogle spoke up after some time. Capella smiled faintly as she made her way to the wheel, steel eyes widening a the sight below her. Of course she was expecting something new and different, but this was on a whole different level! She wanted nothing more but to head down there herself and take a look around. And that's exactly what she did; plus, now that they were in the world, she'd need to be a bit careful with how she presented herself. They did mention what she had to do, but ensuring her own safety in a foreign place was key.

Parking the Gummi Ship a safe distance away from the city, Capella caroled the Moogle into her arms and took off on foot. Capella didn't realize how big everything would be once she touched ground, but as she approached the city, she could barely pull her attention away from the building that towered among anything else she's ever since before. Everything...everything seemed so polished and bright. So bright that she could've sworn she would be able to see her reflection in some of the inner buildings if she walked past them. This place already seemed much more lively compared to her home; pretty ironic since she lived in the stars.

A quick glance at the wall segmenting the city immediately brought up some questions, but she chose not to dwell on them now. Right now, she stuck like a sore thumb and needed to find some clothes and possibly someone that could take her to her destination without any trouble.

---

Capella had only been in Jerusalem for about an hour, and was more than happy that she'd spent most of her life learning about the most mundane things she would have never thought she needed. She knew enough Hebrew to be conversational, and it seemed like her money magically converted into the correct currency, so she was able to buy a deep purple garb with golden accents for herself and her Moogle, although not without a bit of a struggle with what she originally had on. Making sure that the veil on her head was secure, Capella thought back to everything she managed to listen in on, as well as getting a few peeks at the maps one market had up for sale.

Much like back at home, she'd be following Sirius.

Now all she needed was a way to get to Bethlehem. Hopefully she wasn't too late... Venturing to the outer parts of the city, it didn't take long for Capella to find someone willing to take her to Bethlehem, especially since the little group already seemed to be heading there was well. Capella didn't pry any more than she needed to and instead paid generously before hitching onto their ride and waiting as patiently she could for their departure, looking up to see if she could find her namesake.

Dinner ended up not being as bad as she thought it would be. Everyone seemed to be nice to her at the very least, and she made sure not to step on anyone else's toes before the mission tomorrow. She even made an effort to talk to Finlay about some fairy tales that she heard growing up around her people. It was fun, but alas, more drinks were poured and it became harder and harder to hold and actual conversation with the others, so Loona bid the other a good night and headed back to her shared room. Instead of using her time to train, Loona perched herself back on the windowsill she's chosen as her bed and chose to meditate. A clear mind was needed to produce the substance that would help her allies. If she could keep a clear mind in the heat of battle then she'd have plenty of bodies on her head.

Loona thought back to today. A lot happened, most of it she wished never happened, but it did and there was nothing she could do about it. The wingless creature frowned as her shoulders relaxed. She should be happy, most of them were okay...well physically okay. Kiri was still mad at them, but that was something she could always make better right? The freckled girl could only hope that she wasn't putting herself down for something they couldn't control. Colin too. They both need to see that their teamwork is what lead to that result. They...they should be proud.

Shaking her head quickly, Loona let out a sigh. There was also herself as well. She wanted to say that she was alright, but it's hard to tell with everything going on. And it wasn't like she could ask any of her teammates, they barely even know each other! Not to mention that one of them for sure probably hates her at this point.

A bit too discouraged to continue meditating, Loona found her way onto her pillow bed and closed her eyes, the stars being the last thing to engulf her vision.

---

The new mission didn't seem too bad in the fairy's eyes. It was like a recon mission that had an extra bit of killing on the side...okay maybe it was the other way around, but still. Depending on who joined in, she wouldn't have to do any fighting by herself right? Quickly weighing the options, Loona pulled down the yellow hood over her head and floated a bit closer to Finlay.
“U-Um, would it be alright if I c-came along?” She practically mumbled out.

The boy's ears drooped a bit as the bed was empty. Had she gone somewhere? No, Aer was definitely smarter than that...although maybe that would explain it. Grisaia himself has only been sick probably a handful of times, and he's been told that he did some pretty stupid stuff during that time. But he was jumping to conclusions at this point. Just because her bed was empty doesn't mean she's entirely gone, right? He was about to open up the door all the way, but instead found the door itself swing the rest of the way open. A familiar voice had the blonde stand up straight, crystal eyes staring down the small woman.

"U-Um...hello..?" He mumbled as he waved dumbly back, his mind quickly putting the evidence in front of him together. When the Mistress said she gave Aer a bit of wine, he wasn't expecting...this. He wanted to assume she was a lightweight because she was so small, but the amount of bottles threw him off.

What threw him off even more was her smile. So much so, he almost missed what she had to say.

"Yeah sure, um, about that though...wouldn't medicine be a better option for getting better?" He offered before scratching his cheek with is pinky as the other giggled uncharacteristically. As Aer reached out to touch his face, Grisaia stopped her by grabbing her hand in his gloved one, a heavy sigh escaping his lips afterwards. "A wizard? ...I guess you could call me something like that, but for now...give me those, I'll uh fix them later." Playing along for now, the rabbit took the two bottles from the red adventurer before setting them on the ground next to her bedroom door.

Now grabbing Aer by the the shoulders, Grisaia gave the drunken woman a small smile.
"Might you help me with a spell I've been working on? It requires you to lay down, though. Is that alright?" Despite not getting an answer yet, Grisaia was already pulling the woman back into her room to get her to lay down and possibly fall asleep.

Reaching the Golden Quarter a minute or so after bidding goodbye to her friend, Eiko's attention was pulled back to the ground. Someone was calling her, she knew that much, but where was the voice coming from? Now only hovering in the air, the brunette looked in all directions for the source of the voice, her eyes finally landing on a girl waving up at her. She could already tell from here that she didn't know who this person was, but what they wanted from her seemed pretty important. Plus, she was already in the Golden Quarter, so moving by foot wouldn't be that much of a difference, right?

Relaxing her wings so that she could fall from above, Eiko stretched to her wingspan in order to glide the rest of the way down. Landing right in front of the purple fox, Eiko gave her a curious tilt of the head.
"Hello! You were calling out to me, right Miss?" She asked before giving the other a small smile. "Was there anything you needed?"

Velvet white wings spread as far as the young girl could do so before a sharp flap propelled her into the air, high past the tallest of building within the Suttlings Basin. Thanks to the two bows on either side of her head, Eiko didn't have to worry much about the wind ruthlessly sweeping through the chestnut locks. She was dressed to impress, emulating Hoshi the Star Spirit, as she was due to attend a few events around the city; one of which involving a prayer for the odd events that have been taking place the last week or so. There was a schedule, one that Eiko had already memorized, but seeing as most of the day would involve her running around from place to place to bestow her blessings, utilizing any kind of free time was the current goal.

Smiling widely as she arrived just over top the temples and churches she was familiar enough with to call home, the emerald eyed girl dove down so that she was bit closer to the ground. She was immediately greeted by those she passed with a brief gust of wind following her.
"Hi! Hello! Oh, I'll see you in a few hours Miss!" Eiko called, waving politely and practically brimming with light. It was only when she caught sight of a flash of white, purple, and gold that the dove demi-human slowed and came to a stop right in front of it...or rather him. "Charna, long time no see!"

The boy looked down at the smaller girl with a curious glint in his eyes.
"Indeed, I'm just as busy as you tend to be, Eiko." Resting one hand on his hip and the other over the hilt of his weapon, Charna let out a tired sigh, which only made Eiko pout at first. "What?"
"But you're always busy. I haven't seen you in like forever! It must be a new record at this point!" Eiko stressed, her wings spreading a bit more to prove her point.
"Well, unlike some people who can find a job in the city mostly because of their looks, I have no choice but to broaden my horizons. Trust me on this." Charna sighed after his slightly harsh words reaching out to pinch the brunette's nose just before she had a chance to retaliate. The girl flailed and panicked a bit as she tried to get her nose free, but alas, Charna's grip was stronger than ever before. Having given up at this point, Eiko let out a nasally huff before shooting the other a curious glance.

"Then what are you doing here? Did you end up getting stationed here or something?" She questioned, taking a deep breath once her nose was freed. the silverette nodded in response.
"Yep, I was actually heading back to our rendezvous point before you came along."
"O-Oh, I'm keeping you up? Sorry, you should have said something sooner, Char. We could always talk later." This seemed to bring a smile to the boy's lips.
"No, it's quite alright. I'd rather talk with you then sit around and listen to boring lectures for the next hour. But I do need to go before they decide to lower my pay or something like that. Since I'll be in town for a while, how about we meet up again and have and actual conversation, sound good?"
"Of course, that sounds awesome! Whenever you're free just come to the the usual place, okay?"
"Sure, consider it a date." He grinned before patted the shorter girl's head and continuing down the direction he was originally walking in. "Until then, Star Spirit Hoshi." Charna mocked before fully taking his leave.

"He's such a weirdo..." She giggled before getting a running start and taking off to the skies once again, her destination now being the Golden Quarter.

A pleased smile formed on Tiz's lips as he was praised for getting the hang of the Binocucom.
“Woah, that sounds so cool! I hope one of these days we can meet your original gang.” He mused, his eyes never leaving the device in his hands. The way Bentley talked about his other gang really showed how much he cares for them, and probably misses them for that matter. Tiz was no different. Agnes, Ringabel, and Edea waited so long for him to wake up on for for him to leave yet again and help out others worlds. It was a big price to pay, watching his soon to be wife and friends respectively have to say goodbye for the third time, but that only made Tiz more determined to get stronger, do his part and eventually make it back to them, same with Bentley and probably Delsin too; although the later's been a bit quite about anyone waiting for him back home.

When Bentley got back to instructing the two humans on the Binocucom, Tiz could only arch his eyes brows in confusion. Where the hell was the R3 button? He only knew about L and R. Letting out a slightly nervous chuckle, the boy went for whatever he could recognize.
“U-Uh...” He mumbled, hand resting over the thumb stick before Bentley used his voice to guide him to the correct button. “Huh, okay, I think that makes sense.” He said with a nod as he brought the Binocucom back up to his face and tried out the zoom function. He was a bit startled at first when things started to zoom in, but he quickly got use to it, grinning in the process. “Man I wish we had something like this back at Nore-- DID YOU JUST SAY HORSES?!” Tiz didn't mean to yell, but his excitement got the better of him as he fumbled with his Binocucom to get a better look.

And there they were. Magestic beasts of black, white and brown. Oh how he missed being back at the farm with the rest of his family. Despite them having gone without him, the memories and time they spent together was still fresh with the silverish brunette.
“Aw~, they're so cute! I wonder how old they are... I hope they've been eating properly too, kinda hard to tell from here though.” Almost anyone could see the hearts in his eyes once he brought down the Binocucom, a blinding smile accentuating his features in the processes. “Let me give it a go. I love horses!” Tiz said as he rose his hand and waved it around much like a child would. “I'd rather we not use any sleeping darts though... by any chance, do you have anything that could keep them from running away? May like a barrier or something?” He asked with a tilted head.

mention(s): Mie, Donovan

Time had passed much like a blur since he left the now familiar clinic with Aer. Everything just seemed to fall back into place, like the Mistress' disappearance never even happened. If only that was the case... But despite feeling so, Grisaia couldn't help but be a bit glad that she did go missing. If she hadn't, he would have never met Aer nor Donovan, two people he was comfortable enough to call friends at this point. He honestly couldn't wait to see Mie again to rub it in her face that he could make friends excluding her. Unfortunately, there were more important things to worry about, like the cover up story he got from the Mistress this time.

The Mistress had been lucky that Grisaia was too overwhelmed by her return to really ask about it afterwards. Going off to see a friend overseas, then going to some pit fight without returning home beforehand? It didn't sit right with the rabbit. She should've known the possibility of getting hurt in such a rowdy place, but she still decided to go without any supervision or even letting anyone know. The metia he received from the Mistress to track her necklace made the story a bit more believable, that it was just a spur of the moment decision she made, but still...

The first few days the Mistress returned, Grisaia focused all of his attention on her, to the point where even the other servants couldn't even approach her without the bunny or one of his Spirits hovering over them like a mother bear protecting her cub. Thinking back on it, he had to admit that he was going a bit overboard, but now that more time has passed, Grisaia had backed off, but only a little bit. It was almost enough too make him think more objectively about the events pertaining the Mistress and what happened at the clinic.

The Mistress' voice was Grisaia's cue to open his eyes. Oh yeah, he was waiting for her to finished the breakfast he made for her. He stood at her right, slightly behind her chair as to not bother her if he stated to fidget. Anubis did the same, but instead at her left. The Mistress' bittersweet words brought the tiniest of smiles to the blonde's face.
"I appreciate your kind words and am forever grateful for the faith you've always had in me. But please, I ask you to take caution from now on. Not everyone is as trusting as you want them to be." Her faith in him sprouted and budded from concrete, but now, it's blossomed into something that even Grisaia himself had trouble comprehending. He was lucky, no doubt about it.

"Awww~, it's so adorable when you get all mushy and overprotective about the Mis--" Anubis never got to finish as Grisaia forcefully cleared his throat, and simply smirked instead knowing that his point was made. The slightly flustered bunny focused back the other when she asked for him to check up on Aer.
"Of course. Anubis, stay here, I'll be right back." Bowing slight to show he was leaving, Grisaia made his way out of the dining room and towards the living quarters.

It was Grisaia's first time hearing that Aer was sick, so he was a bit nervous to see the girl when she wasn't at her best. But making sure she was doing better was top priority. It didn't take him long to find her room. Three slow knocks followed by a call of her name was the strategy, but seeing as there was no response, Grisaia needed to pry.
"Miss Aer, I coming in now, alright?" He gave her a few seconds, if she was awake to prepare herself, before turning the doorknob to her room open and poking his head in to see what she was doing.
