Shortly after parting from the skyport of the Sky City, Bhujerba, Jaakuna was aboard his large and rather fancy ship that he calls Ifrit. Blasting the thrusters at full speed, he finds himself flying through the clouds and into the open, blue air that is the sky. So vibrant the colors of the sky are, Jaakuna just takes it all in. He might indeed be a dick and an asshole, but when he’s up in the sky, he feels just as emotional as a pussy. His calmness is at an all-time high when he’s up in his ship, Ifrit. 

Just getting lost in the sight of the sky, Jaakuna himself didn’t even realize that he was veering off-course. He had almost missed the Dalmasca Westersand, but it’s a good thing that he made the sharp left that he needed to get over it. Compared to the lush blue-green seas that he was just over, the desert of the Dalmasca Westersand was pretty dull. It’s a good thing that Jaakuna is a mere ten minutes away from where he really needs to go and that’s the Royal City of Rabanastre. 

Jaakuna had to slow down the speed of his Ifrit to be able to park into the Areodome of Rabanastre. As the ship came to a stop, Jaakuna first went to his chambers in his ship to get his weapons which included two Blood Swords, and his Iga Blade. His two Blood Swords share opposite residence of Jaakuna’s hips and his Iga Blade finds its home on Jaakuna’s back. Then, he went to the centerpiece of his ship to which he ‘beamed’ down to the bridge to which would lead him directly to the Aerodome entrance. As he came through it, he just looked around and he just shook his head. He never liked coming to this city. He found it a bit dull at times and too crowded. He prefers Bhujerba in that sense. Jaakuna just shrugged at the bothersome of Rabanastre, and continued to exit the Aerodome.

Coming out of the entrance of the Aerodome, Jaakuna proceeded to go through the gates that would take him into the actual city. The city itself was thriving with life. People of all walks of life roaming the area that Jaakuna was in. They ranged from street orphans, soldiers, and just about anyone and everyone that one could imagine. Jaakuna’s attention took to the marketplace as that’s where the very popular tavern, The Sandsea is located. Jakauna has always found comfort that if he needs to get information of any kind, the local tavern or pub is the place to go to. Thankfully for him, The Sandsea is the Tavern in which he goes to frequently.

Going through the pathways of Rabanastre, Jaakuna winds up in front of the Sandsea Tavern. He enters as he opens the door. Inside it was exactly how Jaakuna remembered when he was last in Rabanastre a few months ago. Tables are full with Sky Pirates, Hunters, and Bounty Hunters. The bar itself has one seat left open, and Jaakuna takes it. As he sits his pretty little bum down, the bartender approaches him with a friendly smile. Instantly, Jaakuna took notice of her for her golden blonde hair. It was of a similar shade of Jaakuna’s own, but she had brown eyes. Totally not like Jaakuna’s own.

[b]“What’ll be sweetheart?” [/b]The bartender asked him, leaning against the countertop of the bar, wiping down away dirt and liquid from earlier.

Jaakuna looked to the bartender. [color=ed1c24][b]“Well, how about a name?”[/b][/color] Jaakuna said, smirking.

The bartender laughed. [b]“The name is Kiera. And yourself honey?”[/b] Kiera said in a sassing manner.

Jaakuna laughed. [color=ed1c24][b]“You can call me Jaakuna.”[/b][/color] He said proudly as he pounded his chest with one hand curled up in a ball.

Kiera was intrigued. [b]“Jaakuna is a fine name. What would it be, Jaakuna?”[/b]

[color=ed1c24][b]“Club Soda is fine for now. “[/b][/color] Jaakuna said.

Kiera nodded and she put together Jaakuna’s Club Soda. [color=ed1c24][b]“We don’t get many people here that order Club Soda. You’re an unique one for sure.”[/b][/color] She said laughing it up a bit.

She placed Jaakuna’s soda in front of him. He took a few sips of it and started to address the real reason why he was here. 

[color=ed1c24][b]“So, Kiera..” [/b][/color]

[b]“Yes dear?” [/b]

[color=ed1c24][b]“I’m looking for someone. Seeing as how you seem to be informed of shit that goes down in this town, maybe I can pick your brain for some?”[/b][/color] Jaakuna said as he took another sip of his drink.

Kiera smiled. [b]“Okay, who are you looking for?”[/b] She asked as she started wiping down the countertop.

[color=ed1c24][b]“I’m looking for a girl. She’s a hunter and she usually drifts from place-to-place. You know, never stays in one place for very long.” [/b][/color]Jaakuna said as he again took another sip of his drink. “Know of anyone like that? Jaakna asked.

Kiera thought about it and there was only one person that could fit that bill. [b]“Oh, you must be looking for Emiri. Yeah, I know her. She did say that she was waiting for someone. You must be that very person. “[/b] She said. [b]“She didn’t’ say that she was expecting a cutie pie.” [/b]Kiera said flirtatiously.

Jaakuna was tempted to make a play on Kiera, but he had much more important things to worry about. Flirting with the hot bartender could always happen later on. It’s not like Jaakuna wouldn’t have to do so after he collected the rest of his gil from turning in this hefty bounty. [color=ed1c24][b]“You just saved me a lot of trouble. So, where is she?”[/b][/color] Jaakuna asked.

Kiera smiled a bit. [b]“She’s here in the Tavern. She’s up in the VIP section. I’ll go get her for you.”[/b] Kiera said,

Kiera was offering to go get Emiri for Jaakuna but Jaakuna waved his hand against it. [color=ed1c24][b]“No that’s quite alright. I’ll surprise her. I’m sure she’ll be just delighted to see me.” [/b][/color]Jaakuna said downing the rest of his Club Soda.

Following the direction of Kiera, Jaakuna went to the back where the VIP section was. He was looking for the room that Kiera had told him that this Emiri was in and when he found it, he heard sounds. Based on the sounds that he heard, it was most likely that she was taking a shower. Even better, Jaakuna twisted the doornob and it was unlocked. So, he opened it, walked into the room. He looked around the room to get an idea of what she was like even if she was just renting the room. The room itself was pretty generic as it had the norm for Rabanastre fashion. Walls colored white with tints of sepia and furniture had a leather look to it. The feel of the couch was definitely false leather. There wasn’t much, but he did see that she had some weapons. [color=ed1c24][b]“She’s definitely a hunter.” [/b][/color]Jaakuna said.

Jaakuna made his way over to her bathroom and as he lightly touched the doornob, it was locked. So, instead of going inside, Jaakuna knocked on it. [color=ed1c24][b]“Emiri? You in there?”[/b][/color]
