[b][color=D3943B]Time:[/color][/b] Morning
[b][color=E0C114]Location:[/color][/b] Gaurav Village
[b][color=D3943B]Interactions:[/color][/b] Phia [@princess], Cyrus [@Helo], Menzai [@samreaper]
[b][color=E0C114]Equipment:[/color][/b] 2 shot glasses, 1036 Amas total, Flowers from Phia, Dante’s cellphone, Dante’s knife, Cobalt splint-armor, Cobalt Half-plate-armor (Weightless)[hr]

Fun? The brothers never would have guessed the food they were chowing down would be made fuel for such. The past two days of training had been especially physically and mentally grueling. However, the fault could not fall solely on Menzai since Dante and Darius had been laser-focused on improving themselves. The roc attack was a colossal wake-up call for the two as the ripples of the event continued to distort the conceptual image of the group’s togetherness. Objections and slick remarks were absent and were instead replaced with grit and innovation. Still, getting used to the new ‘no shoes’ policy took a little getting used to.

To the brothers, Menzai seemed quieter and more distant than before, something neither thought possible without outright abandoning them. At the same time, the two still felt pangs of guilt whenever either of them noticed Menzai’s missing arm, so the distance helped some. However, it was that same desire to avoid that made moments like this morning’s breakfast slightly discomforting.

[color=D3943B]“Yeah, I would think our mana pools are separate….”[/color] Random conversations between the two had been the best way to keep things normal. [color=D3943B]“... Like batteries in a remote! We both got our own juice but you need both of us to turn on the earth magic or if we keep the analogy, the T.V.”[/color] Darius smirked before he took a big bite out of a pear.
[color=E0C114]“Man, why’d you gotta remind me? I could go for some T.V.”[/color] Dante replied with a sigh. [color=E0C114]“But yeah, I think we definitely have separate pools. Since after the roc fight, I was a lot more exhausted considering what happened if we had one pool you would’ve had the same effect and exhaustion level.”[/color] He added.

[color=D3943B]“Stumbling? I would have-”[/color] The sound of Phia repeatedly banging her spoon against the surface of the table abruptly ended their short discussion. 

[color=f745aa]“I have an idea.”[/color] She exclaimed while waving her spoon to gather any tiny ounces of attention she may have been unable to claim and she had just that. All eyes were on her as she presented her idea of distributing fliers and indulging in riverfruit slushes. With the rationale being the twins having a “bit of fun.”

[color=D3943B][i]Nice try Phia…[/i][/color] Darius took another bite, assuming Menzai would refuse Phia’s pitch. For the moment, there was only silence from the wolf. Awaiting the answer stirred not even a small amount of anxiousness from the brothers as it in itself would be quite simple. Menzai had said “no” to less so it would come as a pleasant surprise when he finally spoke.

[color=92278f]“Hm, yes I suppose-”[/color] What he said had distracted from how he said it. The next move was to assist Cyrus and Viola in finding their family members and having fun. Seemed easy enough, even with Menzai’s added condition. To think it was Cyrus as the bearer of cautious words…


[color=16A75E]“If I or any of my family are recognized, things will become very dangerous for us… We must be very cautious who we share those fliers with. But I would like to buy you all a Riverfruit Slush.”[/color]

[color=D3943B]“Bro, imagine a whole kingdom full of Phias. And even if they’re not like her, just imagine some huge place full of human-sized Tinkerbells.”[/color] Darius whispered with a chuckle.

[color=E0C114]“I honestly just want to see the kingdom itself, the flowers, plants, and the animals. There is bound to be lots, the real Garden of Eden.”[/color] Dante whispered back

[color=D3943B]“Gonna find yourself an Eve, too?”[/color] Darius teased. [color=D3943B]“I’ll make sure to get an apple for you both, [i]Adam[/i].”[/color] 

[color=E0C114]“You gotta get ya head checked bro. War is the worst time to fall in love.”[/color] Dante replied.

[color=D3943B]“Come on, I’m joking… And besides, this whole thing is far from what I imagine a war to be like. Things haven’t gotten that bad yet, and they won’t if we continue to keep things under wraps.”[/color] Darius shook his head getting back to chowing down.
