I'M BACK!
Ares, Riki, and Kiana sat together in a small restaurant, eating and talking… well; at least Riki and Kiana were talking. The whole time Ares just glared at the little Taru sitting across from him. After a while, Kiana finally turned to him, noticing his cold glare. "What's wrong with you?" she asked. Ares grunted in response, but Kiana pressed the question. Finally, he gave in and answered.
"Like I said before, I haven't been the one to be kept out of trouble. This little midget man here got in some trouble for not paying off a lost bet and ended up running back to me like we did in the other countries." He turned to regard the Taru. "Remember Windurst, when you tried to get away with that gemstone you stole from those Mithra burglars? I had to fend off three very volatile cats while you were hiding in a corner."
Riki attempted to stammer out an explanation or denial of the statement, but Ares continued before you could say anything. "And Jeuno? Remember the Galkan guard you tried to trick out of 10,000 gil?" Riki began sweating then, pulling on the collar of his shirt, again attempting to talk his way through it. Ares persisted though, going on to say, "And what about Norg?" Riki paled. "Yes… I seem to remember being pursued for a full month after that incident with that bet you made that I could slay twenty Gigas at once. Of course, I didn't agree with it and never attempted the feat, so the whole gang was after us until we finally made our way back to San d'Oria. I was nearly killed five times because of you!"
Kiana stared blankly at the little Taru. Riki, sweating profusely now, stopped his attempts at any form of sentence structure and simply hid himself under his wide brimmed hat. After a few minutes, Kiana finally broke the silence, laughing hard and long. Ares stared at her in amazement while Riki began praying to Altana, praising her in every way he knew for sparing him. "You're such a terrible liar Ares!" Kiana said after a while of laughing. Ares was dumbfounded. "I wasn't lying! It's the truth!" Kiana continued to laugh hysterically. "Yea, right! Like Riki's even capable of such terrible things! You know better than any that he's too innocent to do that!" Ares flashed a furious glare at the Taru again, promising terrible pain when they were alone. Riki just silently danced in his chair, mocking him.
"Alright, I think we've spent enough time eating. Let's go hunting now! I haven't had a good adventure in a long time!" Kiana said, jumping up from her chair and yanking Ares out of his and grabbing Riki's shoulder as she came by, pulling the two out of the restaurant and away toward the town gate.
Sorry I've been so long, but I've had a few things to do in my life aside from FanFiction. Also, I'm sorry this is so short but I'll add more later.
