[Video from Alfitaria]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[A Video shows of an airship outside of Alfitaria. (Ondore's flagship - The Garland)]

I don't care if it was left alone.

This airship is not the Selkies!

[Moving the camera to cover him.]

Anyone know whose this is, they seem to think it's theirs.

[Because Rydia's not too far away, she just heads on over to join him. Staring upward, her eyes widen.]

That's no Gaian ship...or a Selkie one.

[Edge shakes his head.]

What do they take me for?

First the Garden? Now an Airship? They think they own everything here!

[Rydia frowns thoughtfully, inspecting the airship.]

Well, it has to belong to someone. I'm sure we'll get a claim soon enough.

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He squints his eyes and looks at the airship.]

If not, it looks like a grand ship for the ruler of Alfitaria.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

We have the Lunar Whale. Is there really need for anything else?

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He begrudgingly agrees with her.]

I'll see if anyone claims it.

[Action]

[Rydia nods approvingly.]

A ship like that? Someone will, I'm sure.

[Speaking of Selkies, here's a pair that should be familiar, although they look a tad different from their future counterparts living in Alfitaria. Their approach is friendly and casual enough and Dah Vis raises his hand in greeting.]

[Dah Vis] Looks like you've got a bit of a problem there.

[Hana Kohl] We wouldn't mind helping.

[Dah Vis] Right, we could move that for you.

[Hana Kohl] For a trade or two.

[Dah Vis] Just a small trade. We'll move that for you and you can trade us anything you have to spare.

[Hana Kohl] That's fair, don't you think?

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge raises a wary eyebrow.]

Don't worry about it. We can handle it.

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia nods in agreement with Edge, staring at the familiar Selkies.]

Thanks for the offer, but it's not ours to give away.

[Action]

[Hana Kohl crosses her arms, crabby.]

[Hana Kohl] It'll be your fault if the Selkie Nation never rises again.

[Dah Vis] We're just looking to do a little business.

[Hana Kohl] They're in league with the Lilties, Dah Vis.

[He lowers his voice into his authoritative ruler tone.]

Alfitaria will be prosperous.

But NOT this way.

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia smiles at Edge's response, then sighs and she looks at the Selkies.]

I'm sorry, but we can't give you what you want.

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Breathes a sigh of relief that the Selkies are finally walking off still complaining about him ruining their life.]

I didn't think they'd ever leave. I just hope Ondore picks this thing up soon.

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia nods and watches them go, then slips her arm around Edge's.]

Ondore? Oh, good. I'm glad it's claimed. We won't have to worry about it and the trouble it might cause, then.

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Giving a gentle squeeze.]

The sooner the better. Those Selkies will take anything they can get their hands on.

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.]

They don't make it easy to trust them, that's for sure.

Will you be busy, after this? ...well, less busy.

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He recognized that he would always be busy and neglect Rydia far more than she deserved, but it wasn't as though he couldn't delegate some tasks...]

Of course. Alfitaria can handle one afternoon without me.

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia perks up and smiles at that.]

Good! A break from town would do us both some good. Not far, just far enough where we won't be bothered.

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[This brings a big smile to Edge's face as the stress of a big new city has been a heavy burden to bare.]

Oh?! Where do you have in mind?

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia has noticed that stress, so she doesn't hesitate to bring it up.]

Well, I did see this nice lake not too far away. I don't think it would be a big tourist spot, though--all the better for us.

[Alone with the fair summoner, oh yeah his eyes light up.]

Oh?

[whips out his phone typing out a quick message to one of his directors.]

I'll be back later.

Let's go!

[Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia laughs and nudges him onward.]

That was easier than I thought!

[Action]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He swallows hard knowing it won't always be this easy and that he will pay for it when he gets back.]

For you. Anything!
