[i]Goodness, she certainly handles him well.[/i] Emiri's jaw slightly dropped as she watched Nadeline and Wesley. The two were getting along...like, really getting along. Sure, Nadeline was a gorgeous girl, a princess, an intellect (apparently), but she had no idea the prim and proper princess knew how to handle the opposite gender so well. She was secretly glad she didn't have her eyes on Jaakuna: she was almost certain that she could've had him the same way. Emiri looked at Jaakuna, equally surprised. "[b][color=f6989d]She was always reading romance novels in the castle...perhaps she picked up her expertise from them.[/color][/b] Emiri whispered back. 

"[b][color=fdc68a]Tis the life of a princess trapped in a castle.[/color][/b]" Nadeline replied to Wesley with a slight shrug. Nadeline frowned at Jaakuna's question, looking once more at the book. "[b][color=fdc68a]Apparently, they're called Espers...'Beings of strange form and appearance made by the gods in ancient times. Favored with great strength and intellect, the Espers knew power far beyond that of men, but their power made them proud, and at length they sought to challenge the gods. Seeing this, the gods were angered and struck down their blessed children, and binding their souls and flesh with the Glyph of the Beast, they stole their freedom for all eternity. Now they are bound to live only when summoned by their Glyph, to serve whosoever called them forth.' is what it says here.[/color][/b]" She pointed to one. "[b][color=fdc68a]I haven't translated all of them, but it would seem this one is located in the Zertinan Caverns.[/color][/b]"

Emiri thought for a moment, then said, "[b][color=f6989d]Supposedly the caverns are full of dangerous monsters and extend to many places. I think there's an entrance through the Ozmone Plain. We'd have to go through the Giza Plains to get there.[/color][/b]

Grant was slightly amused at Savayna. Now that she had clothes on, it was much easier to face her. He had a half smile on as she walked in. She was truly an experience for him. As she asked her question, he guessed that the Emperor had yet to send word--Grant must have arrived early. "[b][color=darkorchid]Miss Glacie, your Emperor as reached out to Rozarria for a temporary truce. You see, he says we should join forces as we have a common denominator, so to speak. At the attack on Rabanastre, it was reported that our royal princess, Nadeline Lenore Roselia, was spotted with your kingdom's Jaakuna.[/color][/b]" He explained. "[b][color=darkorchid]He was hoping we could work together...you would get the criminal and I would get...our princess back...[/color][/b]" His voice trailed off at the mention of Nadeline, unsure whether or not to mention Emelia.
