Lenzo held up his new pair of knuckles. "Yesss! Kaisser knuckless!" He dropped his absolutely worthless soldier sword and danced around like a goofy idiot, singing to himself in a high pitched squeal. It vaguely sounded like the victory theme, more like a bad opera singer...
"Ne? Are they that good?" Niena, DiendeGel's resident White Mage asked.
"Sssure isss. Watch this... Air Render!" Lenzo aimed for a jutting rock. Light-blue waves of air smashed a piece off.
"Cool!" Niena said and hugged the bangaa from behind. Lenzo turned bright red, though Niena didn't see this. Her soft little hand trailed up his leg. The bangaa was acutely aware of her light body on him. He almost growled out loud when she started to rub circles into his thigh.
"Ahh!" A feeling of warmth grew on his leg. Cure.
"There we go, all patched up." She turned him around, "Ehh? You're all red! Something wrong?"
Lenzo looked into her big wide eyes and managed to mutter, "Nooo... Nothingsss wrong."
"Kay." She hugged him lightly. The bangaa just stood there like a marble statue. "Be careful ok? We seem to keep winning only by luck. Its lucky that no ones been KO'ed yet."
Lenzo mumbled something incoherent as Niena let go of him to go do something else.
He looked around and saw the other clan members to quickly away. "Were you all watching that!?"
"Of course, kupo!" Said Talf, "You were like a marble statue in heat! Redder than those red wolfies we keep seeing."
"..."
"... I'm gonna sssstrangle you!"
Garieth and Serg looked at each other and laughed. Serg said to the other-worldly kid, "Well that was amusing. It is a good thing that nothing came out of that. Just the gossip. Dearie. Bangaa and viera wouldn't be a good thing."
"Huh? Why's that?" Garieth was puzzled.
"Well Master Garieth its just that..." The Nu Mou stopped.
"What she's trying to say is that bangaas and vieras aren't meant to be together. Its just not done. Vieras are to be with vieras, or even sometimes humes. And bangaas are supposed to be with bangaas. That's how the world works." Cid said. "It would be like you and me as a couple. Now wouldn't that be awkward."
"Oh. Eww... Well I guess I learned something today. Wanna hit the pub now?" Garieth asked.
They turned as they heard an explosion in the distance... just in time to see Talf learn how to use his wings... and crash into a bush.
"Master Lenzo! If you are quite done play Kill the Moogle, we are going back to the Camoa pub."
"I'll be right there! Marble ssstatue, my asssss!" Talf screamed like a girly-moogly as the bangaa ran for him again. He took off in the opposite direction.
"That hitsss the ssspot! Oh, Garieth how was the bazaar today?" Lenzo asked him as he came in.
"Not bad." The hume kid said. "Got a few things for everyone. Here's a pair of Rising Suns."
"Trasssshh, put them in the inventory." Lenzo returned to his drink. "Barman, a glassss of cold water!"
"One for me too!" Garieth said, "We also gave Niena a totally new outfit."
"Ehh? Where isss sshhe?"
"Hiding." Serg said as she pushed Niena out from behind a corner. The viera yelped as she regained her balance, swishing her Green Mage outfit.
Serg smiled, "What do you think of my handiwork? The regular look is so horrible." The clever Nu Mou had replaced the dead, dumpy, brown inner robe of the Green Mage outfit with a form-fitting dress that frilled out near her knees.
"Serg, this is so embarassing!" She tried hiding behind the Nu Mou but was failing due to her short stature.
"Oh what nonsense, Milady." Serg said. "Well Masters, what do you think?"
"Itsss beautiful! I mean... you're beauti...ful..." Lenzo turned a shade of red. Niena blushed.
"It does look good, doesn't it. Much better than those horrid skirts everyone else is wearing, makes you all look fat." Cid said. "Nice work, Serg. Hold on lemme pull up a chair here."
"Niena, you may have mine, I have sssomething I need to do." Niena watched curiously as Lenzo walked away with a mischievous grin on his face. He took his glass of cold water.
"Ehh? What's he going to do?" Niena gasped as he neared a particular moogle named Talf. "Oh no."
The moogle screamed like a sissy as he poured the icy contents over his head.
"Thunder, kupo!"
"Hey, no messing up my bar!"
"Yessss sssir!" A bangaa with electrified fur suddenly grabbed the moogle and threw him out the nearest window. "We're taking it outssside now!"
The barman ran over and smashed him with a cup in hand. "Mug Shot!"
