Please excuse me but, I guess that I'll retire for the morning. I have some preparations to do and then, maybe take a short walk through the village? Hopefully, Fei will be back by the time I return."[/color] Eleonor said, more to herself than anyone else, as she announced her leave, before actually going out. [color=ed1c24]"Sometimes, I feel like that, even if I managed to become a proper idol and role model, I still failed terribly at being a mother for Fei."[/color] The Crimson Knight said, in a wistful tone before finally getting back to her feet and turning to leave the dinning hall. [color=ed1c24]"Oh! I almost forgot, if you are free of your duties later, Lorei, you can always join me, if you want. Farewell, both of you and don't be shy about finishing your breakfast."[/color] Eleonor waved them goodbye, casually, and then went back to her room, to prepare things for the upcoming journey.

For my partners, I have only the best, at the cheapest price."[/color] Mikoto said to Ruxen as she began to draw another belt full of an odd variety of items and trinkets. However, before she could do anything, it appeared that Fate would have another rock thrown at their path, in the form of a certain Imperial officer that was a little to fond of literal dynamic entries. Well... at least she didn't had brought any tanks or airships with her, not that Mikoto didn't knew anything about how to evade canon fire at point blank range, but luck was always a nice thing to have. [color=gold]"Hold it. lady! I know what they say about gunpoint business, but that's just a metaphor. Sometimes I think that people take those terms a bit too literally."[/color] Anyway, when Chen tried to tell the world's worst lie to Titania, even Mikoto couldn't help but say, [color=gold]"Serious, Chenny Boy? Even I wouldn't fall for that unless, of course, enough gold was involved. But I don't think that our guest will be bought out so easily."[/color] [center] * * * [b][url=http://i.imgur.com/HO8C7vW.png]Arcadia[/url][/b] [/center] [color=maroon]"Phew, that could have gone all sorts of wrong. Don't scare me like this again, Linea." Siena said as Linea and her came out of the bushes wearing their [/color][url=http://i.imgur.com/fd6vV6x.png]human disguises[/url] on the place of their previously ruined clothes. [color=teal]"It's not my fault that you were resisting so much, Oneesama. We could have done changing a lot faster otherwise."[/color] [color=maroon]"Well, if you had told me that it was just our disguises, I wouldn't be like that. I still remember that last time, y'know?"[/color] [color=teal]"But we [i]only[/i] had our swimsuits that time, Oneesama. Aren't you glad that I came prepared for our clothes being destroyed just this once? Or would you prefer for Alex-san to look at us like that the whole day?"[/color] [color=maroon]"Gah! You're the worst, Linea. Don't tell anyone about that or I'll throw your books outta the window again!"[/color] [color=teal]"Sure, Oneesama, but they are your books too. Moreover, shouldn't we be moving to the ruins? They are finally within our grasp. We should go before another guardian approaches."[/color] [color=maroon]"You're right 'bout that, Linea. Let's go before something else get in our way, Alex and Tori!"[/color] After a... heated discussing between the Aquarian Twins, they finally decided to press forward and enter the dark depths of the ancient temple. It was up for Alex and Tori to decide their fates now. [hr] [center][@Lonewolf685], [@floodtalon], [@TheWindel], [@FrozenPhoenix], [@McFazzer], [@Flamelord].[/center]
