"[b]It would seem that we have company.[/b]" Vlyn stated dryly, eyeing the icy general. The two stood, close to the entrance of the Aerodome, far enough to avoid any contact as the soldiers marched by. "[b]This could be a problem.[/b]" He crossed his arms, turning to Aloa.

"[b]They search not for her, but for the Ifrit.[/b]" She stated quietly, her hand on her chin as she thought. "[b]The Sky Pirate has enemies, it would seem.[/b]"

"[b]General Savayna...the gods do not smile on us.[/b]" Vlyn watched the pair sneak away, and he got an idea. "[b]While they hide, we need to distract the Archadian army. What say you, Aloa?[/b]"

The silver haired viera nodded, watching them closely. "[b]Likely they are to tear the place apart, however, they wouldn't dare cause a scene, lest they displease the Marquis. They are safe--for now. How do you propose he deliver her to us?[/b]"

Vlyn grinned, waving his hand around. She raised an eyebrow at him as he beckoned a Hume child to him. The boy was accompanied by another and a female Hume child, the three giggling like misfits. He knelt down, telling them something rather quietly. He brought forth a few gil and placed it in their hands. The three nodded, one boy running off in one direction while the other two followed Jaakuna and Emiri. "[b]He'll be bringing her to the mines, tomorrow.[/b]" Vlyn stated, once again turning to Aloa. "[b]You and I will keep an eye on the Ice Princess for the moment. When the time is right, we'll distract her.[/b]"

Aloa didn't doubt Vlyn's plan, but she was quite curious as to what he said to the children. She assumed one was the message to deliver the girl, but what of the third child?

"[b][color=f6989d]It would seem your employer is watching you.[/color][/b]" Emiri stated, taking a seat on the couch.

The two managed to sneak out of the aerodome, though they were blocked by a pair of children. Said children relayed a message to Jaakuna: they were to stay at the Armanda, a luxury hotel, for the night. The room was paid for, apparently, and tomorrow he was to bring her to the Lhusu Mines. And so here they were, and the suite was quite nice. The carpet was made of Osmone Rabbit wool, very soft to the touch, drapes decorating the room all around. The bed was huge--Emiri wondered why in the world would anyone need a bed so big--and from the window, one would see all of Bhujerba. The small sitting area was just outside the bedroom, and they had access to a bath and kitchen.

Emiri knew this room had to cost quite the pretty gil. Still, it was out of sight, and had the utmost privacy, so they'd (hopefully) be safe from Jaakuna's former wife. Marriage seemed to be quite a difficult thing. She wondered what made the two split up--was it even by choice? Did they still love one another? She wanted to ask, but really, it was none of her business. And so she sat quietly, pouring herself a cup of tea. She raised it to her lips and was about to drink,until a stench caught her attention. Wrinkling her nose, she put down the cup.

"[b][color=f6989d]You may as well take a bath.[/color][/b]" She stated to him, secretly thankful that she bathed when she did--if she smelled half as bad as he did, it really was dreadful.
