Altered Tundra

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Good times all around, even though it seemed that Emiri didn’t quite think so as she had just gotten up without saying a word. Jaakuna was just playing of course when he said what he did, but he was having fun. There’s nothing wrong with a little laughter during a mid-morning. Jaakuna did still feel bad. Maybe he should go apologize. He was about to, but Nadeline had to do so before him, so Jaakuna still stayed seated, eating some of the honey ham. It was quite delicious.

Jaakuna saw that Emiri and Nadeline were on the ground due to Nadelines tackling of Emiri. It seemed harmless, so Jaakuna paid no mind to it. A few minutes passed and Jaakuna took another piece of the ham. He was just chowing down on the food on the table. There was still quite a bit of it left and Jaakuna thought it would be a waste not to eat it all, so he was just enjoying it.

As he kept on stuffing his face, Nadeline came back and asked to speak to Jaakuna. By this time, he was done eating, well for now anyways. She made a note that it was somewhat important. “Oh? Well, I’m all ears. Speak your mind, woman.” Jaakuna said as he waited for Nadeline to speak her piece.

Jaakuna should be bothered by this topic of discussion, but he isn’t. Sometimes he does question whether his emotions are even linked towards his logic or morals at all. He just seemed to be not bothered by what Nadeline asked. He even went as far as to kind go ‘mhmm’ as he answered her question. On the other side of things, Emiri was completely blocking her out by telling Nadeline it was none of her business. Jaakuna chuckled just a bit.

When Nadeline would bring up a note that her being aboard the Ifrit was interrupting their passionate time, Jaakuna laughed..loud. He couldn’t stop, for some reason he just couldn’t. It was to the point that it would disrupt any form of conversation that was or wasn’t going on. “HAHAHAHAHAHA! Don’t flatter yourself, Nadeline!” JAakuna said as his laughter was starting to dim down. “We could continue if we wanted to, but I rather not cause I’m a nice and respectful host. “ And there it was again. He lost it. Jaakuna was such an asshole and he knew it, but that didn’t stop him from BEING an asshole. Oh god, what is wrong with him?

Incalculable…INCALCUABLE!!!! That one word repeated in Jaakuna’s thoughts over and over again. Jaakuna has always been one for seeking treasure and just hearing that one word had decided his mind for him, nevertheless what Nadeline and Emiri were discussing over. Jaakuna had already made up his mind. He was already going to set the course for the Sandsea, he was already going to trek through the Sandsea itself, and goshdarnnit, he already made up his mind to go seek out this treasure.

However, after deciding, Jaakuna heard Nadeline actually order him around. Yup, that’ll do it. “Bitch, if you tell me what to do one more time, we’re going without you. “ Jaakuna hissed. He doesn’t like being told what to do, much less like some servant or slave.

Even though he was a little pissed at Nadeline right now, he did what she …asked of him, anyways. “Iris, set a course to the Tomb of Raithwall.” JAakuna said obviously hearing what Nadeline said about whether or not the ship can go through Mist or not. “Oh and by the way, it could, but it’s incredibly difficult to do so.” Jaakuna said as he just sat down. Meanwhile, Iris responded.

“Yes, Master Jaakuna. We should be arriving to the Tomb of Raithwall in twenty minutes.”
“Thank you Iris.”

As Jaakuna still sat at the table, he dug into the cheese and crackers a bit more. He had to build his strength up if he wanted to survive that long trek through the Sandsea.

This was definitely interesting to say the least. Jaakuna didn’t know much about this Raithwall guy, but he does know that he was some great king in the past. He remembers when his father told him about it when he was a little boy. He remembers how his father went on about how great his conquests were and that he would do the same eventually and his legacy would be just as great. Truth be told, Jaakuna wanted to believe his father and he did at that age, but as he remembered, it wasn’t how fate planned it.

Going back to what Nadeline was saying, Jaakuna had little concern about whatever great power was in the tomb. “Who cares about this freak in the picture. As far as I’m concerned, we have no business risking our lives for what could turn out to be nothing. “ Jaakuna said as he reached to get some cheese. As he was eating it, Jaakuna heard something about treasure. He put down the cheese and swallowed whatever he had in his mouth. “Treasure? What’s this about a treasure?” He said suddenly interested in the matter at hand.

Nadeline was her name huh? Jaakuna finally had a name to the face and voice. Well at least he didn’t have to call her a bitch now, at least not yet. As to what she will do to warrant that again from Jaakuna will havet o be determined in time. She made a slight comment about how she was indeed jealous. Jaakuna just laughed at how she didn’t catch onto the rhetoric that he had laced in his previous response. Nevertheless, she seemed to have some information for them, and Jaakuna was definitely interested. She had asked about a more private place that they could go to. Jaakuna smiled.

“Ah yes, there is.” He said walking out, pulling Emiri with him as he had his arm still around her, but he really didn’t even notice. He was too preoccupied with the matter at hand. “Just follow us. “ Jaakuna said as he kept on walking, proceeding walk through the bazaar.

It was about five to ten minutes that Jaakuna, Emiri, and Nadeline made their way to the Ifrit. Not in sight, of course, Jaakuna spoke. “Iris, beam us up please.” Jaakuna said.

“Yes Master Jaakuna.” Iris said.

Within seconds, a glorious light surrounded the three of them, and sending them upward to the ship. “Iris, can you please fly the airship away from Rabanstre?” He ordered and asked at the sametiem.

“Yes Master Jaakuna.” Iris said as the ship starting moving and heading towards the Ozmone Plains. It would at least be a different change of scenery.

Jaakuna then looked towards Emiri and Nadeline. “Let’s go to the dining room. That should be a good place to talk.” Jaakuna said as he simply walked to the dining room, which would be through a series of hallways, turns, and some declining of flight of stairs. A three-minute, brisk walk is all it took before one could get there. Once Jaakuna got there, and hopefully the other two not far behind, he sat down at the head of the table, to which he pressed a button and three plates arose where it had a cheese, deli meat, and cracker platter.

As Emiri was just going off into her own world in the shop, Jaakuna just simply walked around watching her. He really didn’t want to interrupt her as she was simply having the time of her life. Jaakuna would notice that Emiri was eyeing a certain beige dress. He didn’t care what dress or how much it was. He just cared that she was happy with it. Price was no worry for him.

As he saw her get giddy about it, and they went to the cash register, Jaakuna had heard a voice that he recognized and not one that he really wanted to hear. It was that woman Naddie. Jaakuna turned and her and Emiri had instantly began to exchange words with each other. Though, Jaakuna noticed the rather revealing outfit she was wearing. He couldn’t take his eyes off of it, but he eventually did after much help from his own will. Jaakuna then turned to the lady at the cash register.

“That’ll be seven hundred gil.
“Sure thing. Here you go.”

Jaakuna had handed the lady seven hundred gil and he proceed to go over to Emiri and Naddie. He heard her comment about he was returning to the scene of the crime and then she proceeded to address him as Sky Pirate. Jaakuna sighed at that. “If you’re going to be a bother, could you at least call me by my name.” Jaakuna stated as he sighed again. “It’s Jaakuna, J-A-A-K-U-N-A-, got it memorized?” He said, obviously being a dick in the process.

When she made the comment about the Emiri and Jaakuna being on a date, his face got red, but then he smiled. “Yes, in fact we are. Jealous?” Jaakuna said as he proceeded to wrap his left arm over Emiri’s shoulders, proceeding to pull her close to him.

After arriving in Rabanastre, Jaakuna could feel it. No, not the feelings he might or might not have for Emiri. It was the godawful heat. “Damn, it’s fucking hot. I forgot how fucking hot it got here.” Jaakuna cursed and cursed even more after he stopped speaking. He was just in a rage until, the very giddy Emiri tugged his arm. It seemed to subside since he now was seeing the smile on her face. Why did that cheer him up? Jakauna is so perplexed at the moment, but he didn’t bother to think on it. He just let Emiri pull him as he walked/jogged with her as she tugged him.

Making their way through the bazaar, it was as it always had been. The crowds fuller than a Seeq’s belly after supper. The two of them had to literally squeeze through the people around. It wasn’t easy either. There were some fatass people in the crowd, but eventually Jaakuna and Emiri got through and found their way into a nice shop. It was a little small, but the amount of clothes they had did not do the store justice. There was such a wide selection and Jaakuna couldn’t help but notice the people who worked there. He was drawn to the blonde hair. Just something about blondes that Jaakuna seems to be drawn too, but his admiration would be cut off as Emiri would speak about how lovely the shop and selection was.

When he saw how happy she was, Jaakuna grinned and that turned to a smile. “Yes, quite the selection.” Jaakuna spoke, his eyes just seeing how happy she seemed to be. “Pick out anything you want. It doesn’t matter how much, so go nuts. “Jaakuna said as he stood about a few feet away from Emiri as she had started wandering through the store. Jaakuna had a lot of gil on him and he knew he would be at the store for a while.

Jaakuna was just hoping to get back to whatever that wasn’t thinking about what he and Emiri just did. He needed the distraction to think about shit. So, perhaps taking her shopping would be best. Plus, Jaakuna has plenty of gil to go around, so he can spare a few thousand of it on some dresses for Emiri.

As he saw Emiri go back to her room to get something, Jaakuna just stood in the hallway waiting for her. Jaakuna was just thinking about just everything. He really didn’t know what to feel, so he just had to brush it aside. By the time Emiri came back, she had her bag. Jaakuna looked puzzled. He perhaps should have stated it. “I’m paying for any clothes you want, as a sort of apology for making you wear Savayna’s clothes.” Jaakuna said.

As he motioned Emiri to stay where she was as he quickly ran to his room using the Elevator nearby. Within minutes, he was in his room, and had got a red, white, and black backpack. Then he thought about something. Emiri had made a bigish deal about the shirt he was wearing. He didn’t know exactly why, but Jaakuna sort of felt weird wearing it. So, taking his jacket and shirt off, Jaakuna put his jacket back on and left it unzipped. Then, he went to the big bag of gil that he had gotten from Vlyn and Aloa yesterday. He got about 3,000 gil. He needed food supplies as well, so this would be a shopping trip for him too. He stuffed it into the backpack, and he went along his marry way to the hallway where Emiri was.

“Okay, lets’ go. “Jaakuna said as he grabbed Emiri’s hand, jerking along with him. “Iris, take control of the ship and drop us off at Rabanastre and then put the ship in park, would you?” Jaakuna shouted to Iris, the ship’s AI.

“As you wish, Master Jaakuna.” Iris’ cybernetic voice said as she resonated throughout the ship.

As the ship came to a stop right outside the entrance to the Dalmasca Westersand, Jaakuna and Emiri were at the departing platform. Jaakuna had the backback over one shoulder like a cool kid in high school. In seconds, a blue, red, and white beam surrounded them and they were at Rabanstre’s ground floor. “So, let’s go get you some clothes, shall we?”

The kiss that combined them was lasting over a few minutes. Well, definitely more than a simple kiss. It was more like kisses. Jaakuna didn’t know why he was doing it, but it was just something that instinctively took over. Perhaps he did know, but there was just no thought of it to put it into words. Regardless, there the two of them were against the wall, embracing in a passionate kiss.

They were against the wall, Jaakuna tempted to give into lust and desire to take her fully, but he hesitated in that regard. That slight hesitation made him pull away. Even though he did find something in him that had been dormant or silent for a few years, he didn’t want to rush it, not like with Savayna.

“Whoa, that was something that I didn’t intend to happen.” Jaakuna said as he shook his head. He had to come to grips with what just happened. “So, we should definitely go into town, what do ya say? Probably get you some new clothes?” Jaakuna said as he turned away from Emiri, hoping to avoid what just happened altogether.
