Rika nuzzled her face into Suki's shoulder, quietly murmuring something to her mother. Suki let out another heavy sigh, carefully placing her down. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she gave Byssu a frightened look, promptly bolting off into the house and slamming the door shut behind her. Suki'a's jaw dropped, his ears flattening as Suki would gently stroke his head. The Miqo'te woman looked at the two younger boys, kneeling down in front of them and beckoning Nikulas to come closer.

[color=228B22]"I'm going to go search for Eji,"[/color] She told them gently, placing a hand on Nikulas' arm. [color=228B22]"Stay here, and stay together, please. No one's going to force us to leave, and if anyone shows up, wait here for my return. Alright?"[/color]

[color=00FF7F]"But--"[/color] Suki'a went to immediately protest, wincing as Nikulas elbowed him. [color=00FF7F]"--ow. Okay, Ma. We'll stay here and keep watch."[/color]

Nikulas nodded solemnly. [color=B22222]"We'll wait for you here. Promise,"[/color] He assured her, gesturing for Suki'a to follow. [color=B22222]"Let's go, we can wait inside with Rika."[/color]

Suki straightened up, watching the pair of boys go inside. Once the lawn was free of children, she let out another sigh, shaking her head. She looked up at Byssu, giving her a slight shrug. [color=228B22]"Forgive me, but I must find Eji. I'm sure Lyveva will be coming sooner than later. If you'd like, you can wait here,"[/color] She nodded, walking off.

Lyveva beamed with pride, sighing happily as she patted the cart. Things were finally looking up, it seemed. She took off her backpack and placed it carefully with the rest of the belongings, looking to the group as she clasped her hands together.

[color=fff79a]"Right, then! I'll rent a chocobo to pull this along, and everyone can get into a carriage--we go straight to the Goblet!"[/color] She announced.

As the carriage pulled into the Goblet, [color=yellow]a small Auri boy of Xaela descent[/color] was looking at something over the railings. His blue hair was neatly brushed, tiny stub of a tail slowly moving from side to side. At the sound of the carriage approaching, he jumped in place, whirling around. He stared at the group with large, golden eyes, bright blue limbal rings giving them a distinct look. As the carriage neared, he took off in a sprint, practically hopping down the stairs and making a beeline away from the group.

Lyveva had been going over the list of belongings, making note of what had already been sold. Fortunately, nothing too noteworthy was gone, much to her relief. She held the list to her chest and sighed happily, perking up as she spotted the boy. [color=fff79a]"...was that...?"[/color] She muttered to herself, squinting in the direction the boy ran off to. She frowned, gripping the papers to her as she carefully moved over people to the edge of the cart.

[color=fff79a]"That looked like Eji,"[/color] She frowned. [color=fff79a]"Um, excuse me! Could you stop?"[/color] She called out to the driver.

Once the carriage came to a halt, Lyveva jumped out, scratching her head. [color=fff79a]"Uh, sorry about that, but that boy looks like one of the orphans my friend watches over. It looks like he was headed to the [color=yellow]Brimming Heart[/color],"[/color] She shook her head. [color=fff79a]"If you want, you can keep going with the carriage, but I think I should make sure to follow him, just in case."[/color]
