D'axon attempts to avoid the rough blasts coming from Maple Nutt as he trips, slamming his body onto the ground, gliding across the shards of rough gravel and sand. Quickly, he springs into action pushing himself back up and getting up back onto his knees. Meanwhile D'axon is grabbing his sword to strike at Maple Nutt, Z'eris finishes off the enemies nearby using the combo exactly that D'axon had taught him yesterday morning. Z'eris looks over at D'axon noticing that his strength has quickly been regained, he smiles with adoration and a look filled with satisfaction. D'axon and Z'eris were in an aspiring unison, both fulfilled their exact roles and together in battle they were complete. The red-headed Miqo'te started swinging at Maple Nutt striking towards the Lalafell with brute force.

D'axon smirks standing over his former comrade, "Maple, I trusted, protected, and trained you. You betrayed me as well as the entirety of Ul'dah".

Maple chuckles looking up at his former captain, "Well once you learn the true evils of society. You will learn to understand that the ruling you side by is truly corrupt".

Z'eris looks at D'axon and Maple Nutt with a completely worried look on his face biting his bottom lip. Meanwhile, when looking down, the chocolate-lilac haired miqo'te notices his nails digging into his palm from the curling fist he created. The anger quickly started building up inside of him. Suddenly, the sound of airships has appeared from the sky up above them all as a small ladder drops down. Maple Nutt speeds away running towards the ladder at full speed and climbing up halfway until the airship crew pulls him up.

D'axon laughs watching the little guy speed through and out of the situation, he looks back at Z'eris and notices that his partner is in a complete state of shock, frustration and fear.

"Why did you let him go? You were able to finish him off and the war is over''. Z'eris announces with a tone of devastation while wiping tears from his eyes. His hands continued to ball up as what he thought could have been over truly was not.

"It's because he isn't the mastermind behind all of this, there is someone who is in much more power than he ever could be. Killing Maple would do nothing for us". D'axon sighs, walking towards him and placing his hands on both of his shoulders. He looks into Z'eris's bright green eyes with a small smile on his face, D'axon's tone relaxes and his shoulders loosen up.

"Hey we are safe now and it's time to get towards Limsa Lominsa. Sadly, there are no ferries which can take us there safely from anywhere nearby and all the airships are being taken up from evacuating passengers. Kurry also has my chocobo. So, our own two feet will get us there for now, we have our weapons and a small section of food supply with us' '. D'axon winks at him and rubs one of his shoulders.

As he turns around heading towards their next region of exploration, Z'eris quickly blushes, biting his bottom lip and looking away from embarrassment. He couldn't believe that a small touch of kindness like that from his captain embraced him in a warm yet settled feeling. Z'eris was smitten by D'axon and he secretly yet definitely wanted to experience more, nothing really provocative but that embrace lit more passion and feelings of captivation. The two are currently in the southern portion of Central Thanalan near Soot creek and the Coffer and Coffin shop, their next adventure is to head towards Western Thanalan in hopes of catching the ferry towards Limsa Lominsa.

Meanwhile, Kurry starts roaming the streets of Limsa watching people find homes to safely refuge in and citizens offering food, clothes and other necessities to others in need. She crosses the street and finds herself at the market surrounding her. There are rows of vendors with all different varieties of foods, cosmetics, furnishings and attire. She thought of all the different foods to eat while waiting for D'axon's return, the type of clothes she could buy for him, and of course if there are any special treats for her beloved Poogie. Kurry walks up to one vendor and starts naming off the different vegetables and fruits she would like to purchase. She bought Poogie some sweet strawberries and fresh corn. The light-brown haired Miqo'te exchanged the goods for her gil and carried on looking through fields of pants and leather gloves for her brave man. She picks beautiful brown cow leather gloves for him with the inside coated with fur for the cold winters.

"MISS! YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BE HERE!" A man shouted at the top of her lungs through the crowds pointing right at Kurry. More men start surrounding her as they draw their weapon and start questioning her whereabouts.

Kurry tightens her grip onto her hand-bag and looks around her surroundings as the citizens gasp and whisper about what is going on. She scans around at the men who are tightening their space, coming closer and closer to the young girl. Suddenly, an Elven man pulls her towards the center and holds her in order for the guy pointing right at her to speak. However, in a swift instant a cloaked body figure had fled into the scene and smoothly took out all of the men. Even with a glimpse of the black shadow, Kurry was able to slowly catch a piece of red hair flowing through air. Meanwhile the men fell onto their knees and collapsed to the ground, quickly Kurry fled the scene and walked to another set of vendors hoping to quickly finish off her shopping. The brunette takes a couple of deep breaths calming her down. She didn't know who that man was but he felt familiar, he felt like someone she had known for years, a deep connection was sure between them. Kurry realized that this man was the same feeling she got when the ringing in her ears started as well as the name "G'raha Tia '' had played through her ears. She wanted to know him more, she wanted to see who he really is and why he was always around her

Z'eris and D'axon entered the Coffer and Coffin shop as they both felt a warm feeling of comfort as well as the smell of coffee brewing around them. The lights were dim in the café, jazz music was playing at a low volume, and a small little shelf of baked goods was being sold. Z'eris's eyes lit up from the sight of this café, and he quickly walked up the menu looking through the multiple choices of lattes, mochas, americanos and smoothies with completely different flavor options. D'axon places his hand on his shoulder and smiles looking at Z'eris.

"What are you thinking? I'm thinking of getting a salted caramel latte as well as a cheese danish". He looks back up at the menu trying to guess what Z'eris would be wanting.

"I want a mocha with coffee syrup drizzle and a blueberry muffin. Yeah, I will get those". The secret-healer blushes, noticing D'axon's gentle hand gripped onto his shoulder. The grip gave him pure comfort and eased everything around him. It had brought him extreme joy and a complete sense of protection as well.

"Sounds good." D'axon pays before Z'eris could even get to the counter and treads slowly feeling a gash on his shoulder from the fight earlier. Z'eris quickly follows him and sits down at the table looking at him wondering if he truly is okay. "Hey should we maybe get a hotel tonight? I will help pay for half but we seriously need to sleep in comfort tonight".

"No no, we can camp, it is okay, we are able to carry on and save money." D'axon tried to persuade his new friend. "Come on please, we do really need to rest on something more comfortable, especially for you. Don't lie to me I know you aren't feeling good D'axon". D'axon sighs, closing his eyes and thinking about the war which has started, the sultana queen was possibly dead, chaos has begun and Maple was still alive. There was possibly even someone more powerful out there, someone who was controlling this all. Meanwhile D'axon was spacing off the sweet lilac-haired miqo'te who had grabbed their drinks and baked goods, he set them down in front of both of them.

"You know what you don't get a choice, we are sleeping in a hotel motel tonight and I am going to pay for the night. We are going to sleep in comfy sheets, with continental breakfast and take a shower in actual filtered water". D'axon eyes widened as he started sipping onto his latte and nodding with a slight blush onto his face.

"Yeah, let's sleep in a hotel tonight. Got it". He nods, sipping more of his latte and taking drinks out of his cheese danish. They start eating their food and looking around at the café, noticing the common locals singing, dancing, laughing, eating and enjoying their lives. D'axon prays that one day he can relax as well as cherish a life full of peace, a life where it is full of happiness without being afraid of the what if. The two leave the small café and start heading out to the hotel right by them. A small old Victorian café, yet still very modern, clean and up to date.
