"Welcome to my humble abode." Evan said, unlocking the door to his apartment.

"Thanks, Evan." Quistis smiled, then the 3 walked into the living room and sat down on the chairs decorating the room.

"No, thank you guys for coming here. Now, tell me. Why is a pretty blue mage like yourself doing in a dump like Dollet?" questioned Evan.

"Well, Zell and I are here to find someone. We are going undercover, because after the whole time compression thing, we are, what's the word?" Quistis looked over at Zell for some help.

"Just a little on the famous side, you might say." Zell grinned, showing off his mini fangs to his girlfriend.

"By the way, what does Nibby mean? You used it a couple times tonight." Quistis said.

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I use it in place of cursing cause it sounds cool. And an iky iky ya ya means a fork. Luna said it one night when she was drunk and I use it to tease her." Evan grinned.

"Okay." laughed Quistis as Zell chuckled.

"If you are a SeeD, why are you working in a Dollet pub?" Zell asked once he could talk again.

"Oh. Well, I thought it would be a good way to add to my undercover position." Evan laughed.

"Why exactly are you here? You were sent out on a mission while I was in Timber. What was the mission, and why have you not returned to Garden?" Quistis asked.

"Well, first off, Zell, I don't know if Quistis told you or not, but I am a blue mage, just like her. In fact, I'm the only other known blue mage. In the entire world, the two of us are the only blue mages. " Evan said, looking over at the young blond. "Whoa. Could I have said blue mage anymore in that sentence?" He laughed. " Anyway. I was sent here to do research on magics and also to make sure that if Galbadia ever decides to invade again, there is someone who has immediate connections to Garden."

"Research on magic? I thought that was Odine's specialty." Zell was beginning to get confused.

"Maybe. But I've always been good with that type of thing. Figuring stuff out about magic. Especially blue magic."

"Evan was the one who taught me a lot of my different magics." Quistis nodded.

"Anyway, Quis. What I wanted to tell you at the bar was that I came across some interesting facts about blue magic." Evan said.

"Like what?" The female instructor asked curiously.

"Well. There were only 4 known blue mages before us since the time of Hyne himself. And there is always one female and one male. So we technically the 3rd pair of blue mages."

"So that's even more rare then a sorceress." Zell piped up.

"Yup. What I found out was that Hyne had the first pair as his personal guards. As you know, we have the power to copy the moves of monsters, and that is one of the best strategical powers ever. So we are sort of like very weak sorceresses. Or in my case a sorcerer. Our powers are not strong enough that we need a knight, but it does heighten our magical senses."

"Heighten our magic senses? What's that suppose to mean?" Quistis asked.

"You've been around sorceresses more then I have. You must be able to feel a strange presence when you are around them." Evan challenged.

"I thought everyone could feel something like that." Quistis looked over at Zell. " You mean..."

"No, Quis. It's just us. We can feel their power radiating from them. I can pinpoint the exact location of all the three sorceress right now. You can probably tell where they are too."

"Centra...." Quistis stared.

"And 2 in Balamb Garden, Commanders Dorm #983." Evan finished.

Quistis and Zell both turned and looked at Evan with wide eyes. "2 in the Commanders dorm?" Zell said, unsure if Evan was implying that he knew Squall was a sorcerer.

"You know both of them. Ellone Loire and Squall Leonheart." Evan looked at his feet.

"So that means, that the feeling I always thought was love for Squall was just the sense of his powers." Quistis gasped in realization.

"Did you know that Squall was a sorcerer?" cautioned Evan.

"Yeah. He fell into a magical coma about a week and a half ago. We're off in search of his knight." Zell answered.

"I found out cause I was his roommate for a couple of years. The power I felt off him was so great. More then anything I had ever felt before. Quistis, I understand why you could have thought it was love. It is a very strong wave." Evan nodded.

"Did you happen to find out who his knight is?" Zell blurted out.

"No. Sorry." Evan hung his head, disappointed that he could be of no help.

"Dammit." Zell cursed under his breath and began to look around the apartment. There on the wall was a long sword, polished and hung there like a trophy. " Evan. Do you use long swords?" Zell asked, getting up and walking over to it.

"No, I don't have enough upper body strength to lift one." Evan laughed, then rolled up his sleeves to show the lack of muscle on his arms. Zell could swear that boy was smaller than Quistis. "I actually use throwing stars and daggers. That long sword is Luna's. Her grandfather was part of the Galbadian Army and it was his. She keeps it to remember him by." Evan replied.

"Actually. No, Evan. It is mine. But only it is mine to kill with. " A voice said from the doorway. The 3 SeeDs looked over and saw Luna, Bob and Yenis all standing there. Yenis was pulling hand guns out from his boots, Bob was tightening fighting gloves, and Luna walked over to the wall. She pushed Zell out of the way and grabbed the sword off the wall. " And you, my beloved roommate gave me all the information I needed to know." she smiled an evil grin as she went back over and stood between the two men.

Zell growled and stood up, pulling his gloves out of his pockets, while Quistis walked over and unwrapped her whip from around her waist.

"We're not the SeeD's you want to mess with." Zell glared, as Evan stepped beside Quistis.

"Or, maybe we're the SeeD's you shouldn't mess with." Yenis smiled and evil smile.
