The two girls looked at Jaakuna, dumbfounded, though for different reasons. Nadeline was beyond insulted, clearly a result of his vulgarity. Who did he think he was, insulting the Princess of Rozarria? She had half a mind to attack him right then and there! On the other hand, Emiri felt slightly disappointed. A one-way ticket, huh? Of course that's what she was. 

"[b]Now, now, children, let's all settle down here.[/b]"

Vlyn chuckled slightly, having been admiring the trio from quite a distance, though due to recent circumstances (mainly the Archadian general in the Aerodome) he needed to make a change of plans. "[b]Let's all play nice here, I have a simple solution to everyone's problems.[/b]" He placed a large bag on the ground, motioning towards Jaakuna. "[b]As promised, and a little extra for handling my precious Nadeline. I know she isn't an easy girl to deal with.[/b]" He winked, tossing a stone in the air and catching it. "[b]Your work here is done. I thank you for your prompt service, Sky Pirate.[/b]"

"[b][color=fdc68a]What is the meaning of this?![/color][/b]" Nadeline blurted, outraged and seething from both Jaakuna (the nerve of that man insulting her!) and Vlyn (where the hell has he been and why did he decide to show up NOW?!). 

Vlyn waved at her, though he walked on over to them, placing a hand on Jaakuna. "[b]Women, am I right?[/b]" He grinned, turning to Nadeline. "[b]Please calm down, we'll be leaving momentarily. Though I wish you had gone to the hotel as you promised Aloa and I.[/b]"

The male Viera was the one Emiri had seen going down the street--had he been around here all this time? And why pick NOW of all times to appear? She eyed the stone in his hand warily, feeling something...particular about it.
