Part 1: exodusofsilence.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=homeofthenobodies&action=display&thread=197----------------------- <BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *almost hums, though he keeps his curiosity to himself for the time being; pausing to wait for Marluxia before he started down the trail: the valley not far* Well, I'll just have to have a look later.. <themightyalexa> Marluxia: Hm...*only a few steps behind the other, his mind elsewhere for the moment yet so aware of the surroundings* <BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *finally says something as the first set pop up; taking the ones on the left and leaving the right to Marluxia.. the heartless here very .. soft* Something on your mind? <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *summoning his scythe with little thought of it he moved forth and swung it's blade out at the heartless entrusted to him, dispatching them as easily as he had summoned the blade. Of course it would likely have not been known to Xaldin, but this was a large jump from the mission he had with Xemnas where it took a little more effort to dispose of the black little devils* You could say that... *Another swing and a few more gone* You could also say that there is nothing on my mind. *a slash more, this one knocking the three that had been upon him back rather than dispatching them* It's hard to tell. <BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *raised a brow slightly as they finished with that group; he was heading 'blindly' out* Well I suppose you'll never have any issues among the heavily cyptic and easily contradicting? *his way of saying: that isn't a straight answer; before he cut through the next set. He'd chosen this place more for the fact Saix's birthday was less than a week away, than the Heartless. The difficulty after all didn't matter. Kingdom Hearts took them one way or another. Why only take a few when you can take so many with so much less effort?* <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *sighing softly, once the three neared again vines shot up and dispatched them from below, almost violently ripping the darkness from the captured hearts* Such mindless creatures... Yet no different... *looking back to Xaldin, he had known the reason of being brought here versus a world that had stronger competition* .... *more so to himself* Seems every third attack is weaker than the previous two. *then to Xaldin* There were a few outfits in there that he seemed to take notice of and like. One was a red bridal gown. The other an outfit of blue with white clouds and silver dragons.... <BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *nodding, he glanced back for a moment; his eyes catching on Marluxia along their scanning path across the valley: he didn't ask yet* Hm. Blue and silver. And I know he likes Jade. He always keeps the bottles when I bring him imperial.. |

xGracefulSinx (9:24:47 PM): Marluxia: *resting his weapon against his shoulder* Well, after the Clothing shop, we had visited a Jewelry shop. He wasn't impressed much by the cut stones.. at least not as much as he was by the unfinished and raw Jade they had there...
xaldinstrips (9:30:59 PM): Xaldin: *brows up, it wasn't the surprised kind* ..that sounds about right. He is a smith after all. Why pay for a cut that might turn out wrong when you can do it yourself..? *shakes his head a bit, smirking* Not that I'm any better...
xGracefulSinx (9:41:04 PM): Marluxia: *shrugs a bit, moving on to activate the next batch* For someone as skilled as he is, yes that's true.*moving his scythe so that he's holding it by the very end of the staff before jumping into the air to attack the Emerald Blues that had appeared, swinging the scythe in and uppercut and letting it's weight cause him to twirl, before switching it's movement to a downward slash that brought him back to the ground, crouched, the weapon had switched directions again, allowing the assassin to do a low sweep and take out the ground-remaining heartless before standing up again and resting the weapon*
xaldinstrips (9:55:34 PM): Xaldin: *giving the Assassin a wide berth, he skipped ahead to the next batch: not bothering to waste time, just having off with them by a hit or two from all six lances: and looking back again* It will certainly keep him busy when not minding the shop.. and he does sorely need something else to focus on, when you aren't there.
xGracefulSinx (10:08:09 PM): Marluxia: Hm... *waiting until Xaldin was done before continuing on their path, really unsure of what he should say*
xaldinstrips (10:22:14 PM): Xaldin: *tucks two lances back, his eyes slipping from the Assassin to the path ahead; there weren't many more between them and the capital and what were there didn't require that much work. Besides that, using more than his hands could carry generally called attention to him on worlds like this. He was quiet nearly all the rest of the way, until they were a few hundred feet from the gate* Anyway. No plans as to what you'll be getting him..?
xGracefulSinx (10:25:11 PM): Marluxia: I have a few ideas... Just need to work up the money for it. If I play my role appropriately, I should be able to gain even that just before with enough time to get the items and wrap them....
xaldinstrips (10:29:42 PM): Xaldin: Ahh~ *putting his lance away entirely after dealing with the last of them he folded his hands into their opposing sleeves* Luckily raw ore isn't nearly as much as cut. *a soft chuckle* When I made that mahogany and pewter set for him the stones cost a small fortune.
xGracefulSinx (10:36:58 PM): Marluxia: Luckily.... But gemstones are a price higher. Yes, while I could just settle for getting him a decent amount of ores and lower grade stones... I want to get him the Sapphire I saw... Or at least something to remind him of me. *dismissing his own scythe after the last batch and letting his hands fall to his sides*
xaldinstrips (10:50:18 PM): Xaldin: *smiles a little wider, looking his way again as they passed under the gate* A sapphire hm? He'll like that a great deal I'm betting. *his eyes scanned around a bit* He has a thing for that color...
xGracefulSinx (10:53:40 PM): Marluxia: *chuckles lightly* Guess I got lucky on that one then... *taking a slight look around, noticing not much had changed since His and Saix's date other than he wasn't wearing 'drag' this time*
xaldinstrips (11:04:20 PM): Xaldin: Luck and good taste.. *his thought trailing off a moment as he eyed a few things on a glass-blowers cart* How are you guys doing otherwise anyway? Well I hope..?
xGracefulSinx (11:07:11 PM): Marluxia: *nods* I'd like to think so. Even when we do happen to fight... It's brought us closer. *chuckling and adding in a joking tone* Even if we wanted to leave each other, I don't think we'd be allowed to. Our.... "fates" are too heavily entwined.
xaldinstrips (11:32:00 PM): Xaldin: *smiled softly at that, turning his eyes toward Marluxia briefly as he continued to look along the many shops and street vendors for ideas* They say, relationships like that are the ones that last forever. The two of you seem well suited. *though curious about that last* You sound as though you mean, more than as... *knowing the Chinese were at least one world to know the word, he avoided the term Nobody* ..one of us, though. Or is that just me looking a little too deeply?
xGracefulSinx (11:38:22 PM): Marluxia: That's my theory. The fact that we seem to awaken memories within each other... I think we at the very least knew eachother before we forgot. *a small smile* And I should hope it lasts as long.
xaldinstrips (11:45:09 PM): Xaldin: Ah~ *nodding, his smile widened for a moment, though his expression went serious after, the airborne scientist in him running a few questions through his head all at once : though only one at a time were coming out of his mouth* ..That didn't happen before though, did it? As in prior to Oblivion..?
xGracefulSinx (11:48:07 PM): Marluxia: *nods* It did not.

xaldinstrips (11:52:48 PM): Xaldin: *stops, his eyes settling on a large vendor wagon: tea, sets and few other things sold from it's fold-down enclosure.. he veers that way a bit* Hm. I suppose that means whatever is different this time was the trigger then.. maybe your relationship. *leaving that aside for the moment he browsed over the items available. It was the Jasmine and it's blends he seemed to stay hovered around the longest, tugging out his reading glasses and perching them on the end of his nose as usual to read the signs* I wish I could say what of mine have returned have been as pleasant an experience.
xGracefulSinx (12:04:06 AM): Marluxia: *following after, judging it would be best for him to NOT look at the teas and their blends, he'd only scrutinize them if he did. On the other hand, it was safe to look over the sets, have a bit of a... fetish of collecting them, admiring their painted work. That was likely the worst thing about Castle Oblivion; the fact he lost a very good portion of his favored tea sets and wares there. He managed to salvage whatever was in his room and to his own at the very least* I think it is... Because I only get memories when he and I are together in certain areas.... Usually forest like places...* Looking up to Xaldin again* Oh?
xaldinstrips (12:20:34 AM): Xaldin: *picking through a few blends there were too many really. A great deal of several different flowers. He managed to find a good, fragrant peach and jasmine blend though: and bought a hefty bag and jar for him to store it better in before he turned his own attention to teh sets: he was looking for something in particular: and nodded* That makes sense. Creating similar memories bringing up old ones maybe.. *pausing he picked up a pale green-glazed ceramic, having a look at the design on the front, the barely colored sakura branches catching his eye, they looked a lot like the single crescent-moon cup Saix favored over most of the rest of his things.. hand made, ribbed, well glazed. Xaldin looked over the pot and the rest of the service* The only things I've recalled haven't been very pleasant. They involve a few weeks prior to the divide. Things I would rather have not remembered at all. *shaking his head briefly he looked to Marluxia again* But.. if you two really are connected by your pasts. You might try .. Radiant Garden.. or.. the Colloseum? With Saix's background at least that makes sense.
xGracefulSinx (12:31:00 AM): Marluxia: *again held his tongue about the tea and the container, before tilting his head at the information* Perhaps.... But... it's hard to go to Radiant Garden as it is. What with the security there... *a soft little sigh* I suppose... The colloseum is the only other choice then.... He hasn't really told me that much about his past... *frowning a bit* I do apologize that the memories you've recovered haven't been as great. Though, I sort of wish I did have the bad memories... No one's life is perfect after all. And if there's so many good memories and times... Then I worry there may be one that is far worse than multiple smaller wrongs.
xaldinstrips (12:49:44 AM): Xaldin: *content that it was something Saix would like, simple and functional and not too flashy where he would have to worry about about mucking it up with the ash or soot from his work: Xaldin bought that as well as he listened, and started off again at a slower pace, though not until Marluxia was moving again with him* I practically had to pry some of what he remembered out of him, half drunk mind you. Mostly, it's just asking the right questions though I bet; especially where you're concerned. As deeply as he's enamored with you and Zexion.. I doubt he would try to avoidd the subject with either of you..
xGracefulSinx (12:55:20 AM): Marluxia: *soon following after, almost feeling like a child by comparison, which wasn't so bad considering that it kept his mind from the daunting reality that he was soon to be a year older* I see... well... I suppose it's worth a try. *looking to the side, the assassin caught sight of something that actually made his pace quicker to catch up and avoid. That object was a doll shop. Perfect porcelain minatures of humans, made to look perfect in every aspect, in silks of pretty clothes, painted make up on their pale faces, and with this world, beautiful black hair spun tightly into little buns*

xaldinstrips (1:22:10 AM): Xaldin: *glancing back more solidly at him as he pocketed his glasses again, one brow raised having not seen what had made him hurry but guessing it was behind them now* I think so.. Saix doesn't seem the type to hide something like that from the people who mean the most to him if he knows.

xGracefulSinx (11:09:10 PM): Marluxia: *nodding a bit, keeping what he saw out of his mind* Well... I'll talk to him about it after his birthday... honestly... I'm not... entirely anxious to find out more. Not yet....
xaldinstrips (11:14:11 PM): Xaldin: *raising a brow he did actually turn a bit to ask him* Why's that? You remember something less than savory?
xGracefulSinx (11:16:13 PM): Marluxia: *shakes his head* That's the problem. I haven't yet.
xaldinstrips (11:20:03 PM): Xaldin: Ah. *expression evening, he nodded;* This the place? *coming to the clothes shop with the accessories cart in front and pausing to say* Giving yourself only the opportunity to know happy memories for now hm..? Can I reccomend something to you in that respect?
xGracefulSinx (11:25:19 PM): Marluxia: *looks up to the shop and nods* This is it. *then looking to Xaldin* A nice guess, and it would be splendid if it were so simple that wish. But it's more so a fear of the truth. But if you wish, by all means recommend away
xaldinstrips (11:32:04 PM): Xaldin: *nodded, he'd suspected as much* I know, that's why I thought to give you this: Fearing the truth, won't change it. Neither will keeping yourself from it. If you're going to go after it, don't hesitate. And.. *a pause in the door* ..don't hesitate to lean on your friends and closest allies either, if you need us..
xGracefulSinx (11:40:55 PM): Marluxia: *listening intently and mulling over these words in his mind* No, I suppose it won't. But knowing the truth could change many things. I suppose what I need to consider is... Whatever my memories are.... will it change my goals? *minutes went by with that pause as he thought, for now moving into the shop and at least acting like he was looking around, coming across the outfit Saix had previously shown interest in* ... It will. It will change my goals in the way I see them and the reason I'm going after them. But... No matter what the truth is... I'm only working to help get back what was lost... for those who want it. Even if I end up not wanting it myself.
xaldinstrips (11:52:08 PM): Xaldin: So long as it doesn't change the most important things: the rest, should be managable. *a small smile before he started looking over some of the things at the counter, mostly smaller portions of the outfits sold there: socks, obi, some shoes: for the most part though it didn't seem they carried many accessories* Hmm.. *he was taken briefly with black and gold dragon-backed hanfu* I'm glad you're willing to help anyway though. I'm sure any of the others who want what was taken from them would think the same.
xGracefulSinx (11:57:11 PM): Marluxia: It's the very least I can do with how much trouble i've caused in the past. Besides, it would be horribly selfish to abandon them over my own personal griefs. *looking over to the red bridal gown not too far away and giving a faint smile* Besides... at the very least I want to wait until he's feeling well again before dragging him off someplace he doesn't want to be, for whatever reason.
xaldinstrips (12:05:02 AM): Xaldin: I know what you mean.. *a soft chuckle* ..well I don't want to drag him much of anywhere past Beast's really in his condition, but back to the Colloseum is last on my mind. *rubbing the back of his neck a moment he shook his head and settled to one side. If he bought anything here it would be later and likely for himself. Besides, he didn't know Saix's measurements as well as Marluxia likely did* I think it's mostly Hades though. He doesn't say much to em about their previous relationship.. but apparently their relationship isn't so fabulous. He felt threatened enough before he even left to set up some kind of elaborate prank scheme beforehand with Xemnas apparently.. *shrugging a bit*
xGracefulSinx (12:10:49 AM): Marluxia: *blinks, looking back to Xaldin and tilting his head in confusion* He did? *glancing to the shopkeeper and smiled, thanking her for her time before moving over towards Xaldin* I never heard much about what really happened during that whole fiasco other than Xemnas ended up staying with Sephiroth and dragging him back to our living space as a permanent resident.
xaldinstrips (12:13:41 AM): Xaldin: *brows raised briefly, he had thought Marluxia might know that* ...yeah. Apparently it involved a sharpie; and later a moogle. *a slight smirk* ...and, was also ended up the bait as to how Xemnas and Hiro started out. I've been sworn to secrecy though. Best for you to ask him about that yourself.. *a soft chuckle*
xGracefulSinx (12:23:03 AM): Marluxia: *definitely seems interested before thinking about it* ... A sharpie... a Moogle... and Xemnas staying the night with Hiro.... That... is a very odd combinati-... *facepalming* Somehow it sounds like Xemnas was whored out. *chuckling a bit*
xaldinstrips (12:24:28 AM): Xaldin: *just grinned rather suddenly, tugged both hands up behind his head and whistliong walked out of the shop a few feet ahead*
xGracefulSinx (12:28:20 AM): Marluxia: Well then I'll find out one way or another~ *follows after Xaldin* Where to next?
xaldinstrips (12:29:36 AM): Xaldin: *smiling wide still for a few moments in thought, he looked down to his bag* Hmm.. how about we look at that jeweler? And hunt again after?
xGracefulSinx (12:32:13 AM): Marluxia: *nodding* alright, that sounds good.
xaldinstrips (12:38:47 AM): Xaldin: *looking around a moment or two he looked back to Marluxia, falling back a bit letting him lead the way walking more evenly with him* Hopefully, we can bring him home soon..
xGracefulSinx (12:48:50 AM): Marluxia: *sighs, letting his feet guide the way to the jeweller's shop* I direly want that. For no other reason but to have him back at home and know he's alright and to know I won't have to spend my days with the wondering of whether he's alright or not in the back of my mind. *frowning* And I hate the fact that I feel only half of us are actually doing anything. I understand that at least two of us are practically battle inept... And one is one a mission. But there's still... at least 8 of us who could be doing something, no? *running a hand through his bangs* It's stressful, I'll say that much... *pauses* Hm... I'm ranting, sorry.
xaldinstrips (12:52:10 AM): Xaldin: *shook his head at the apology* If anyone has a right to rant on that subject besides him, it's you and Six. I'm surprised Zexion hasn't yet really.. *it irritated him somewhat sometimes actually, so he avoided that end of the subject as often as possible, and held the door* Hopefully things will keep a steady motion forward.
xGracefulSinx (12:56:52 AM): Marluxia: *quiet for a moment as he entered* ... I'm not surprised at all. I'm still irked at Zexion and will be until he proves otherwise that he cares for something more than his toys. *nodding in agreement* Hopefully.
xaldinstrips (12:59:30 AM): Xaldin: *taking a breath he sighed it out with a nod of quiet agreement; following him in and looking around; curious* ..hm I can see why he liked this place..

xGracefulSinx (1:15:42 AM): Marluxia: *smiling a bit, again his eyes had caught that sapphire again, it was a nice size, easily fitting into one's hand and cut into a standard diamond cut*... Can you now? *chuckling softly before moving over and asking the price on the Gem that captivated him. The price was none too low for such a piece, he'd have to hope the payment was generous on his job*
xaldinstrips (1:24:06 AM): Xaldin: *perked his ears to the price when asked, though he was looking at a few things himself, finished findings really.. clasps and small jade flowers of all colors. A brief smile and he waved the counter attendant over to have a better look, buying nearly two dozen different size and color flowers, the largest being no bigger than the pad of his middle finger: he also bought a pair of small star opal earrings, studs: before eh moved to have a better look at the sapphire* Beautiful. *a smile, he started to turn towards the door* I'm sure he'll like it.. is there anything else you want in town? A snack?
xGracefulSinx (1:26:45 AM): Marluxia: *slowly moves away to follow after Xaldin's lead, prying his eyes from the deep, dark blue* No, I'm fine. We should probably get back to our mission, hm?
xaldinstrips (1:31:20 AM): Xaldin: *nods, a slow half grin as he held the door for the Assassin* Definitely.. the more we do, the closer he comes to sharing his next birthday with us back at home.
xGracefulSinx (1:33:49 AM): Marluxia: *that statement made him smile* That would be nice, instead of having to find a way to sneak into his shop. *nodding a thanks to Xaldin before walking out and waiting for him, still rather new to the layout of the world*

xaldinstrips (1:38:34 AM): Xaldin: *thanking the shopkeep again as he closed the door he smiled almost sweetly as he did; the polite expression dropping for that odd inbetween space in his expressions that seemed to be the norm for teh most part when he was thinking, leading the way* I'm tempted to crash that place.. *his eyes shifting to the palace, a brief nod: he had been careful not to be overheard* There's heartless in the main square.. and at the step. Not to mention in the foyer...
xGracefulSinx (1:46:02 AM): Marluxia: *looking up at the castle, tilting his head a bit. He could understand the desire, since most of Ruby's friends were thieves belonging to Tantalus, he could see the idea behind the desire to go for such a place. Listening to Xaldin say there were heartless within, though, made it justifiable* How strong are they?
xaldinstrips (1:49:18 AM): Xaldin: Well.. the place is mostly filled with the tougher ones found around here. Outside they're easy to deal with. In the halls though you're more restricted and they tend to work together to try and play ping pong with you. The damage may seem small.. but if they manage to get you into a cycle, their numbers can make that small amount of damage dangerous when multiplied..
xGracefulSinx (1:54:18 AM): Marluxia: Hm... *pausing a moment to think over this, his battle stylereally wasn't one that worked well in confined spaces, especially with the danger of harming an ally* I... don't know...
xaldinstrips (1:56:56 AM): Xaldin: *hands coming up to the back of his neck he shrugged in the process* Or, we could go up into the mountains?
xGracefulSinx (1:59:12 AM): Marluxia: I only worry because I'll end up hindering you once we get to the halls. Perhaps the mountains may be better...
xaldinstrips (2:03:35 AM): Xaldin: *nodded, turning towards the gate again* Either way is good with me. I just want to get at least a few more downed.
xGracefulSinx (2:04:49 AM): Marluxia: Of course.
xaldinstrips (2:09:19 AM): Xaldin: *out the gate, and Xaldin waited until they were out fo sight of the guards before he summoned up a lancer to carry off what he'd bought, offering the same to Marluxia and looking ahead to the crossroads at teh bottom of the pass* The way up is over there.
xGracefulSinx (2:14:23 AM): Marluxia: *chuckles at the offer* That's alright, I didn't buy anything. Many things I wanted to but now is not the time for buying what I want. *looking up the road* Alright then, This should be interesting... *summoning his scythe to rest idle for now in his hand*

xaldinstrips (6:10:39 PM): Xaldin: *nodded, sending the lot off making sure they got the 'if you break anything I'll hurt you later' look; and summoning a lance next* ..you know now that I think about it: I think there's a particular heartless that runs around in this area that hands out just the kind of things Saix likes. Rare Synthesis items I mean.. *starting for the water, the first group popped up, mostly mages; which Xaldin divided up nicely for them, taking one and leaving the other two to Marluxia*
xGracefulSinx (6:14:39 PM): Marluxia: *blinks before moving in to take out the two mages, keeping them together to easily dispatch them* You don't say? That's rather useful... How often does it show up?
xaldinstrips (6:21:00 PM): Xaldin: *finishing off the one he had, he glanced back and thought about it* This one shows up fairly often by comparison.. every second or third time you pass through? We've been through once... *whipping his lance up under his arm he flicked one of the long sections of hair in front of his eyes aside* ..so our odds are better. *a slight chuckle* It's pretty quick though, for something that looks like a gum ball machine. *pointing his lance closer to the entrance of the pass* Shows about there. It generally has company..
xGracefulSinx (6:30:01 PM): Marluxia: *smiles* well that sounds promising... Is it usually an item drop or?
xaldinstrips (6:33:28 PM): Xaldin: *nods* Generally, if you don't get synthesis items you get something else that sells high, like the more costly potions and elixirs. *grins* Want to run this area a few times until it shows?
xGracefulSinx (6:37:51 PM): Marluxia: Hmm.. Alright, that doesn't sound too bad...*glancing to Xaldin before snorting softly*
xaldinstrips (6:40:51 PM): Xaldin: Hmm.. *Lance at the ready again he starts in, though adding at the last moment as the other mages and shadows showed, straight faced though his blue eyes were grinning as he took the ones in the air this time* ..so yes we're looking for the one that has a thing for blue balls.
xGracefulSinx (6:43:55 PM): Marluxia: *nearly tripped upon hearing that* What? *he couldn't help but stare at Xaldin before moving in and taking out the shadows easily with his scythe* Excuse you?
xaldinstrips (6:45:57 PM): Xaldin: *grins and laughs taking the four down with a lance each, before saying* I said.. we should have brought Xigbar, they'd like him. Below the belt any way. *chuckles and turns, ready for the next bunch, knowing there were centaurs in the mix if that thing didn't show up*
xGracefulSinx (6:48:10 PM): Marluxia: *snorts* Well that makes more sense... *readying his own weapon as he followed after Xaldin*
xaldinstrips (6:58:54 PM): Xaldin: Thought so.. *another soft chuckle just before the next lot appeared; centaurs on either side, and two magicians* I have the left! *and he was already after them, lances arcing out in their spiral: knocking the magicians back and skewering the centaur repeatedly to finish it before he turned his attention back on the airborne: a lance each finishing them off. The very heartless they'd been talking about showing directly after that lot had finished* Well that .. seems to have been easy?
xGracefulSinx (7:15:54 PM): Marluxia: *moved right in, taking out the Centaur first, though not without suffering a hit, thankfully only a bruise on his arm, before going after the airborne lots and slashing them out of existence, coming to rest and looking at the Bulky Vendor while rubbing his arm* Doesn't look very tough or impressive... Well then, shall I or would you prefer?
xaldinstrips (7:20:41 PM): Xaldin: *settling back to pick up his hem a bit out of the water, he shrugged with a slight smile* You go ahead, I'll get one next time..
xGracefulSinx (7:30:12 PM): Marluxia: *nodded before heading after the Heartless, but his first slash was entirely dodged, the second as well. The young male jumped back with a frown, watching the Vendor's movements before throwing his scythe. It looked like it would have missed but at that moment the Heartless had moved into the path and been hit. Marluxia drew his scythe back before going after it. After what almost seemed like long moments of a game, the heartless was defeated and released both the items and the heart it held* Hm... Orchalcum... and a megapotion...

xaldinstrips (7:48:00 PM): Xaldin: *stayed back for the moment, watching. His eyes shifted to the oath ahead while Marluxia gathered his spoils, thinking for a moment* Hm, good catches, both. *nodding towards the path he smiled a bit* There's a larger number past the village. As I understand it a whole swarm of those bird-types have gathered there in fact..
xGracefulSinx (7:50:12 PM): Marluxia: *pocketting the items and looking up as well* So then, we'll head up there?
xaldinstrips (7:54:39 PM): Xaldin: Definitely. *a smile as he started that way* There's something else I wanted to check out up there too..
xGracefulSinx (8:08:54 PM): Marluxia: *following after, resting his weapon for now* Oh? And that would be?
xaldinstrips (8:12:29 PM): Xaldin: Might be nothing, but Axel had some interest here a while back, and was checking out the cave outside of the village. I thought I might peek in along the way. There's supposed to be a good number of heartless in that cave as well..
xGracefulSinx (8:16:42 PM): Marluxia: *tilted his head before shrugging* Alright.

xaldinstrips (8:29:29 PM): Xaldin: Lets go then.. *drew out a second lance as they started up the path, taking on the first of the three centaurs on the way up*
xGracefulSinx (8:34:20 PM): Marluxia: *nodding a bit before heading after the second Centaur, careful this time and taking his time in blocking before seeking his openings to avoid further injuries*
xaldinstrips (8:42:54 PM): Xaldin: *takes the next as a pair of mages pop up, having to block rather than take care of it immediately this time* ..on the right..
xGracefulSinx (8:46:04 PM): Marluxia: *taking out the Centaur before nodding, going after the mages and getting them away from Xaldin and his target before taking care of them*
xaldinstrips (9:02:29 PM): Xaldin: *double wielding, he managed to get around it's side and finish it off quickly after, Marluxia's help greatly appreciated at that point: ahead by a few steps with the charge he had employed* There are alot of rhapsody up here but there are a few more centaurs before we reach town..
xGracefulSinx (9:09:22 PM): Marluxia: *joining Xaldin once more, nodding a bit* Alright then. Perhaps pre-planning it a bit would help?
xaldinstrips (9:18:17 PM): Xaldin: *nodding, he looked between the two paths* Both left and right lead to the same place. If we split up, we can clean out both and meet up at the next pass with the centaur?
xGracefulSinx (9:30:19 PM): Marluxia: Sounds good....
xaldinstrips (9:45:42 PM): Xaldin: *draws briefly in the earth with one end of his lance to show Marluxia the basic layout, kicking a few stones into the outline to show him* The stones are all the enemy. Axel mapped this one out for me, heartless and all. I may put that up on the board as a mission later when it comes to the other worlds; but that's something to talk about later. *pointing to the right side he pointed to the high ground* I can take that. It's the shortest route but also has one extra centaur.. *then pointing to the left* the other way has a shade or two and maybe a wizard. otherwise it's all rhapsody. Unless you want the right?

<themightyalexa> Marluxia: *watching carefully and weighing out his options. after what had just gone on* Go ahead and take the right. I'll be fine with the left. And I trust you won't get too banged up. *a slight nod before heading to the left*
01:53:30 AM <BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *swung one lance up onto his shoulder, shaking his head* If I use a few more lances, I should be fine. If I -do- get hit... well this area isn't too tough, so I don't expect more than to have a sore spot or two out of it at the most. *speaking of, he summoned two more lances just then, moving that way and throwing over his shoulder as he brought the lance down again calling after him* If you have issues, just call out. If push comes to shove, I can always use my Dragon. *no more to say, he picked up his pace, all but running into the first group on his side. He made fairly fast work of them.. it was the centaur he took a little more time with. Without Marluxia at his back, he had no issue using offensive-defensive ring his lances formed, more often than not using that to dispatch them: his concentration divided between his fight, and listening for Marluxia's voice*

<themightyalexa> Marluxia: *The first group came, an Emerald Blues and a few nightwalkers but just a few quick slashes took them out before Marluxia landed and continued on, keeping an eye on Xaldinf rom time to time, another batch of heartless before he dispatched them as well and met up with the Lancer*
<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *had taken a little initiative and cleared the lot just inside the pass entrance as well: looking back as he heard Marluxia approach, one lance came back up over his shoulder; waiting for him to catch up by a few feet before he stepped onto the trail* The village isn't too far ahead. The cavern has a good mob, but the summit has the absolute best. There's a swarm up there, more often than not. If you want we can head there after having a look at that cavern..

<themightyalexa> Marluxia: *nodded, following up the path* Sounds good enough to me.
<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *town was just over the next rise, and was oddly quiet: just the sound of teh moogle on the other side and the wind* ...usually, some of the local army are stationed here. *there were just a few buildings, one of which had recently been turned into an inn of sorts. Xaldin pointed out the moogle, heading for the gate to look for the soldiers. If not in town, they were usually found loitering just outside teh gate. The entrance to the cave was very close* You wanted to sell those for munny, yes?
<themightyalexa> Marluxia: Yes I did... might as well take care of that now. *and as such he did so, trading the items he ahd found for munny as well as stocking up on a few curative items before he went back to Xaldin, though taking in the town a bit. It was... oddly quiet. A small shrug* Ready to proceed.
<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *nodded and started for the enclave, motioning that way* The first lot should be easy, though there are a good deal of them. Centaurs often pop up in the deepest part. *he readied two lances. The cavern was large enough that they had some space.. enough for three of them to pass through. There were fireworks here, stored by the army: and likely part of why they were stationed here as a usual, besides teh town being at teh edge of teh pass leading down to the capital. Coming around the first bend, Xaldin blew back the first lot with a double-handed swipe of his lances: one more group, and the last bend was up ahead* Once we clear teh area.. I want to see if we can find anything unusual. Something here, seems to be worth the red head coming back over and over..
