"Have fun, you two!" Sora chuckled, waving as the two left. He felt a little uneasy as he watched them walk away... He reassured himself that nothing was wrong. After all, everyone he could count on was right here. If anything came up, it could be handled easily.

----------

Ringo would quickly tag along behind Mamoru, only stopping to take a fast, polite bow on their way out. She had no idea how to react to her friend's father teasing him, but figured that ditching was the best thing to do if Mamoru was already on it! As the doors to the conference room shut behind them, Ringo noticeably relaxed, exhaling quietly as they headed for the nearest surface exit.

She glanced occasionally at Mamoru, breaking into a quiet chuckle after a moment of silent walking. "To be honest, I'd hardly call hanging out a date... But to onlookers, I guess it looks..." she trailed off, "Heh, it's just so great to see you again! You look like the model mafioso with your cool suit!" she complimented.

Yuki happily threw her arms out, poking her hands out of the long sleeves to give Cronic his proper measurements. "Will I have to pay for it?" she asked. "Miss Arcadia offered to let me help in her shop if I wanted to! For... 'Septims'. Is that your currency? I could earn some," she followed with. For a teen with little experience of Tamriel, she seemed to be settling in better than most Thalmor captives would...

----------

Aria meanwhile hadn't even made it to Dragonsreach. The Thane was back, strolling up the steps as a strong, confident figure. The Dragonborn was back, without Lydia... Aria wondered what he'd returned for, ultimately deciding to wait for them to conclude their business with the Jarl before entering herself.

"I'll be sure to ask Mr. Crystalis! Ms. Aria seems to have left already..." Yuki said, hearing the shop door closing. With that, she took a short bow and walked downstairs. There was Cronic, and the cat was evidently still in a food coma beside the fire.

"Excuse me? Do you have plans today, sir?" she asked politely, hands behind her back as she stepped toward him.

----------

Aria went to check at the Bannered Mare for any postings, jobs or bounties, though it all seemed quiet. Enquiring about vampires and bone-masked cultists didn't get her anywhere, either. People gave her weird looks when she mentioned the groups. Folk in Whiterun were sheltered quite well from the more brutal elements of the world.

With nothing to go on, the redhead sighed, shrugged, and left the Mare. Dragonsreach was next. Irileth would hate the intrusion, but Aria had only ever offered service to the Hold... She hoped she or Farengar might be able to shed light on these strange groups.

"No, no trouble! Just a lot of study and exercise. I'm doing great, to be honest!" Ringo happily chattered away as she shook Mamoru's hand gently. He looked sort of different than last time they met. So much more like the future boss of his family... Of course, Ringo wasn't even close to where he stood - confident and prepared. Dad just wouldn't give her the tools and know-how to lead and to fight. She was his gentle, caring girl, but only she could inherit the Vongola Family.

"Ringo, don't drag him off to the surface just yet," Sora chuckled. The kids would probably want out of here, he assumed! The Vongola Guardians all went to take a seat, typically the Guardian of Cloud was absent. He was a teacher at Nami High, so the base wasn't far - he just didn't entertain mafia business.

"I want to give you something first," Sora continued, glancing at a sealed box on the table, encrusted with a golden clam on the front of it. He reached back and picked it up, handing it to Ringo along with a key. "Keep this safe until later, won't you? We'll talk about it at home..." he explained.

Ringo took the box and looked it over, guessing what it might be. Dad's Guardians were all wearing different rings today. She shoved the box into her bag and nodded, closing it up and throwing it over her shoulder again. "Sure..." she replied. She knew enough - these were going to be for her own generation. Not that she knew the extent of their power, or so much how to even use one!

Her eyes flicked to Mamoru then, waiting for him to decide whether to stay with the gathering, or to go back to town.

My characters

Main: Ringo Sawada, Vongola XIII

"We'll bring them to justice... Every last one of them!"

Name: Ringo Sawada
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Faction: Vongola Famiglia
Flames: Sky
Personality: Good natured, morally sound, kind and calm in general. Despite being quite easily rattled by conflict and negativity, she can keep her cool and continue when she needs to.

Brief History:
The Vongola Family's bosses since the reign of Sawada Tsunayoshi have been a different breed of mafia leaders - strong and Just, unconcerned with power and control. While this means that traditional crime families turned away and broke ties, it brought similar families together under the Vongola's unity. A rift formed between those stereotypes of the mafia, and these new 'vigilante' types of families. Whilst some believed war was coming, the twelfth boss wasn't concerned. He was content, living a good life, with a wife and child in his hometown of Namimori along with his guardians.

His only child hasn't been trained for her future like most heirs to families, but just enough that she might have what she needs to defend herself until the day she'd need to take over her father's role and become Vongola Tredecimo, the thirteenth. Ringo isn't the most popular kid, but is a promising student at Nami High. She's only got a small circle of friends, some mafia-related, some not, but she cares for them all deeply.

Still unsure of what her future holds, she heads to school one day, not being able to contain the excitement of knowing what today was! The visit from Shimon! Once school was over, she headed to Vongola Base, where a childhood friend would be waiting to see her again! It would be just like old times...

Specializations: Brawling/Martial Arts
Weapons: (May change as this goes on)

Part I - Baptised in Flames

"Priority target is heading east, leaving the high school building. Potentially moving to our identified entrance of the Vongola's main base... All units, maintain cover until the boss gives a green light."

The agent took his finger off his earpiece after he'd finished transmitting, and simply watched the school girl run around the next street corner. Within a second, another agent reported he had had eyes on her. She clearly wasn't aware of them, and seemed to be full of energy - no doubt excited for the apparent reunion. Disguised mafioso continued to stalk and watch discretely as young Miss Sawada ran through the peaceful streets of Namimori town...

----------

Ringo sprinted without pause, the excitement driving her all the way through town, up towards the shrine where she could use the closest entrance to get into the base. She usually wouldn't head there unless it was important, but today, there was nothing more important in the world! Mamoru was here, and so was the Shimon Family. After running up the steep steps to the shrine, Ringo was exhausted, but managed to carry on and enter, disappearing from the public eye.

She knew her way around and figured the meeting must be in the conference room. Not stopping for breath, she just carried on running through the underground halls, dodging the busy staff of Vongola Base. When she found the room, she burst in to find her father and Mr. Kozato in the middle of a greeting. She disregarded any kind of formality and found her friend amongst the many guardians straight away!

"Mam-...!" she tried to exclaim, but all that came out was heavy breathing. She put her hands on her head and tried to catch her breath, all the while turning a slight shade of red - the room went silent and all eyes were on her, but everyone seemed amused by the girl. At least they weren't offended! She kept watching her friend's reaction, cracking a smile at him after the shambles of an entrance. Ringo's father cleared his throat then, and chuckled as he gestured to her, "For those of you who don't know, this is my daughter. Improv as ever."

"Uh--" she composed herself as best she could, stood up straight and took a formal bow before the Simon Guardians, and Mamoru's father. "Excuse me! I'm Ringo Sawada... Welcome to Namimori, everyone!" she greeted them. Her gaze then quickly fell back to Mamoru. They had so much catching up to do.

Aria simply nodded along as her business partner planned out his tasks for the day. She'd still make the round for information, but it surely wouldn't take long. Balgruuf's men cooperated with her, as did many of the prominent citizens of Whiterun. Except Nazeem. Nazeem was not useful in the damned slightest, so she'd just avoid him. A Redguard with no weapon or skills to use one was a little sickening...

"I'll leave you do that, then. Might even come back with a bounty, if we're lucky! Imagine that... A job without any cannibal bloodsuckers or fanatic zealots." Aria mused as she turned to walk up the road. The first stop had to be the Bannered Mare.

----------

"I can be comforting, I am told. With magic. You should use me next time!" Yuki exclaimed with a smile. A soft green light whirled around her hands for a moment, then disappeared as she dispelled the magic again.

"What are we doing today? Do you know? Are we exploring? Is there a library in the city?"

The Elder Scrolls: Souls of Many Shades [Jake & Cronic]

Yuki seemed mostly confused... 'His'? Mr Crystalis? She spent a moment mulling it over, then began to imagine what might have happened. Her usual calm smile returned, and the magic dispelled. "I worried for a moment, ma'am." she sighed with relief.

-----

Aria shook her head slowly, that grin stayed for the moment. "Not another word~, and I won't tell anyone, either. ...But only because you're doing the dishes for me!" the redhead chirped. A snicker forced its way past her teeth, though she knew he'd get her back for not dropping it. Sliding her feet off the desk and sitting normally, she tried her best to be composed.

"Suppose some work might be a nice distraction... If you're up for it, I wanted to find out a few things. Maybe hit up the Mare, or talk to that Imperial steward the Jarl keeps around. Dragon cultists, vampires... And I need to find out where the Thane is."

"I was waiting for that... Sure hope it didn't wake the neighbours! Or Yuki, though I doubt that," Aria spoke with a smug grin on her face. Serena was surprisingly quiet and gentle in hauling the man upstairs late at night, but as with most nights, Aria was having trouble sleeping and opened an eye to watch. It was a strange sight to behold, but kind of adorable?

"Mornin', lover." Aria teased, "You're looking flustered!"

Meanwhile upstairs, the young miko had indeed shot awake at the sound of Serena's scream! Fearing the worst, she bravely prepared to face any kind of for that might threaten the woman who'd saved her! Looking downstairs, she noticed an injured Cronic, his face... burned red? Aria was just out of sight. The girl ran into Serena's room then, icy spells ready to cast, "Miss Serena?"

The Elder Scrolls: Souls of Many Shades [Jake & Cronic]

"...Vampires?" Loren questioned, though the assassin had already disappeared. He paced a little more, thinking the threat over, and then left his office to find the captain of the guard. The Thalmor couldn't be taken by surprise, therefore, the night watch would be staffed just as much as the day's. Even with a hand around the Empire's throat, Skyrim was proving a most difficult beast to tame.

----------

Aria yawned after sitting down, and threw her legs up on the desk as usual. "I'll wash everything in the morning... I need to sleep off all that gorgeous cuisine~" she chuckled. A stretch later, and with a similarly drowsy cat coming to sleep on her, Aria closed her eyes and fell into a deep food coma.
