pulseof_lifeRather than remain in New Bodhum for the day, though they would return there for the night, Caius teleported them all to the ruins of a village. The buildings were made of metal (heavily rusted) and wood, which had held up surprisingly well under the ravages of time. Inside the buildings, personal things could be found: combs left on dressers, a few ancient photographs, and neatly folded blankets forgotten on the ends of beds.
A wide road cut through the village and a broad staircase led down to a murky beach. On top of one of the buildings, an overgrown fountain and the remnants of a garden could be found.
Powered crystal, which looked like snow from far away, and like sand close up, choked the side streets and surrounded the village.
"Welcome," Yeul said softly, "to Oerba."

He could have gone outside, but Yeul had wanted to go and her wishes, has always, had taken precedence.

Date: 2013-08-29 12:47 am (UTC)It was only after Caius stopped reading and set his book aside that Sholeh spoke up. "I wanted to thank you, sir, for your help with all those things," she said. Loyalty made her say, "Zeela had it covered when it was just the one," while honesty made her add, "though I don't think she would have fared so well against the bunch."
Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 12:54 am (UTC)Caius regarded her quietly for a moment. "Before you turn in for the night," he said finally, "may I please speak to Zeela?"
Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 01:48 am (UTC)"Yes, sir," Sholeh said, letting Zeela come into view.
"Mr. Grabby started it." You know, in case he was mad she got into a fight with an arm-thing. Or, more likely, dragged him into a fight with a bunch of them.

Inside the bundle, she would find a sheathed dagger (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130703232227/finalfantasy/images/d/dc/Dagger-ffxii.png).
Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 02:15 am (UTC)Stupid questions all, but no one had ever given Zeela anything as wonderful before.

"If you're going to fight, you'll want something with an edge."

Date: 2013-08-29 02:33 am (UTC)After another moment, he added, "If you wish to practice while you're here," and he could keep a stealthy eye on her, "I suggest outside the fence here. The monsters are not particularly strong in this location."

Date: 2013-08-29 03:05 am (UTC)At least he was winning points with one of the sisters?
Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 03:58 am (UTC)Zeela couldn't care less how her sisters felt about it. She had a gorgeous new weapon and she was going to get to practice with it tomorrow! Awesome!
"So...is this cause I fought off that grabby little creep?" she asked. "Not bad for my first time out and about with one of those, enh?"

Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 11:37 pm (UTC)"Come along," he said, in his quiet voice. "Let's go train."
