Unlike Jaakuna, Reia, and Lorenzo, WEsley and Nadeline didn’t have the Ifrit to take them to Dalmasca. And quite frankly, Wesley much preferred the leisure way of travelling that normal, commercial airships provided. It not only gave him plenty of time to spend with Nadeline before they arrived in Dalmasca, but it also gave WEsley more time to contemplate exactly what he was going to say to his family and how he came to this decision. But it was mainly the former.

As soon as the pair got their tickets, Wesley opted going to the cabins as soon as he could. While he would love to do some sightseeing, he has seen enough of Ivalice from the air to last a lifetime. Besides, he had to mentally prepare himself for what was about to happen in just mere hours. It had been weighing heavily on his mind. There was no doubt in his mind that Nadeline caught onto that. He wasn’t his usual talkative self and didn’t seem to be observant of most things. Like, right as they had gotten their tickets, it took him a delayed moment to thank the front desk clerk.

And when he got into their cabin, Wesley had to force himself to smile outwardly despite the rest of him feeling all kinds of anxiety, something that Wesley was a stranger to. He didn’t know how to handle. 

WEsley took a seat on one of the arm chairs spread in front of the window. He gazed out into the open skies as the clouds slowly passed. What seemed like minutes, Wesley was completely silent, seemingly deep in thought. Even if Nadeline were to say anything, he most definitely didn’t hear her. There was a large part of him that was muting most outside noise.

[b]“[color=lightblue]Or maybe you should turn down your own.[/color]”[/b] Savayna retorted back. No matter what Grant tried to do or how he wanted to get her into a better mood, Savayna wasn’t going to pretend and seem excited for this trip. Her morale was at an all-time low. There was hardly anything that Grant could say or do that would make her change that. [b]“[color=lightblue]Just drive. The quicker we get there, the quicker we can leave.[/color]”[/b] Savayna said, grabbing a hold of Grant’s waist. 

She simply would wait for him to get them moving. She had nothing left to say on the matter.

[b]“[color=ed1c24]Whoa now, Lorenzo,[/color]”[/b] Jaakuna would interrupt Lorenzo halfway through his speech, [b]“[color=ed1c24]Iris is much more than a simple A.I. What you’re describing is the prototype version of what operates the ship in whole.”[/color][/b] Jaakuna corrected Lorenzo, [b]“[color=ed1c24]yes indeed, she’s more than meets the eye. She’s not just an A.I. that the Archadians have developed, but she’s a member of this crew. Without her, I would have died several—[/color]” [/b]

Just as Jaakuna was about to recall something, he was interrupted by Reia. She suggested a tour. “[color=#F26522]A[/color] [color=#F15F22]t[/color][color=#F15D22]o[/color][color=#F15A22]u[/color][color=#F15722]r[/color][color=#F05522]![/color] [color=#F05022]T[/color][color=#F04D22]h[/color][color=#F04A22]a[/color][color=#F04822]t[/color][color=#EF4522]’[/color][color=#EF4322]s[/color] [color=#EF3D23]a[/color] [color=#EE3823]g[/color][color=#EE3623]r[/color][color=#EE3323]e[/color][color=#EE3023]a[/color][color=#EE2E23]t[/color] [color=#ED2923]i[/color][color=#ED2623]d[/color][color=#ED2323]e[/color][color=#ED2123]a[/color][color=#ED1E23]![/color]” Jaakuna had said in unison with Lorenzo, prompting Jaakuna to look at Lorenzo. Did he just find his new best friend?

As the moment passed, Jaakuna coughed, clearing his throat.[b] “[color=ed1c24]Um, yes, well, I suppose we got a lot of time to kill,[/color]”[/b] Jaakuna said, [b]“[color=ed1c24]Iris, how soon until we get to Archadia?[/color]”[/b]

[b]“In calculating the current windy weather conditions and airship regulations, we should arrive there in five hours.”[/b] Iris informed Jaakuna.

[b]“[color=ed1c24]Oh, then I suppose we have plenty of time for a tour.[/color]”[/b] Jaakuna said, snickering with a grin on his face. He turned to REia and Lorenzo. [b]“[color=ed1c24]Fine then, let’s begin the tour![/color]”[/b] Jaakuna said, pointing to the first item on the list. It was a door just to the left of them. 

As he would lead them through it, they would find themselves inside what Jaakuna considered to be one of the most impressive parts of the ship: the [url=http://i.imgur.com/WLmevMo.jpg]engine room[/url]. It was a massive room that had a few rows of monitors and tables, all of which that were facing the main engine. It was impressive to say the least. Each time Jaakuna came in here to run the daily tests, he forgotten how impressive it was. An engine that was one giant magicite. It was blue with hints of white, silver, and green. It was of circular nature and it oozed Mist. The amount of mist, if left constantly in check, was enough to destroy any large city ten times over. If one listened closely, they could probably hear the whispers of the mist echoing throughout the room.

[b]“[color=ed1c24]Well, here is the engine room. Any thoughts, questions, or compliments - please speak now or forever be in awe![/color]”[/b]
