The walk wasn’t very long, in fact it was quite relaxing now as they walked along, the stars and moon made for a soft glow that illuminated the many plants around them. Along the way they would talk about a few things, especially about where she was taking him as he looked around, avoiding plants and what not while also using his weapon as another source of light. He knew full well that some of the plants around here would be less wiling to to ignore them if they were of the meat eating kind.
“Where are we heading too? If you don’t mind me asking.” Ricter would ask the moogle floating next to him, hoping she had some place to stay.
“Ambrosia, its a large city, its also where I’m from and all the other people I mentioned before.”
“Ah, so there is some kinda civilization out here, oh! My apologies, I shouldn’t be asking so many questions before giving my name. I’m Ricter, its a pleasure to meet you.”
“Oh? Its fine, I’m Vee, its nice to finally know the name of my rescuer.” Her smile growing, she'd even giv a small sway to her flight pattern, as if in a more flirty way.
“So, you mentioned this city having many kinds of creatures in it. Is his place like a sorda mix of all kinds of people? Ones like you and even me?”
“Yes! Exactly! Its a quite large city, neutral to the other factions in this realm, many of them just want to live a nice life together, and some make a living doing what they love. There’s farms, stores, heck I think you’d even like to see the palace too. I’m sure Princess Guu would love to see a cleric.”
“Sounds like a nice place, can’t wait to see it for myself, and I hope this princess you speak of is also a nice person. Though I’m not really a cleric per-say, no religious backing, but if someone needs healing I’d be happy to offer my help to them.” He'd shrug, he didn't' believe in gods, just in people who were powerful enough to transcend their mortal bonds, and sure that was a good word for those kinds of people but he knew full well gods could still die.
“Hmmm…Your really kind for someone who is completely new to this universe, most are apprehensive at first, un-trusting.”
“I like going with the flow, besides I know you’re a trustworthy person, just because of how sweet you are.”
The moogle would fluster, seemingly happy with his choice of words as it gave him a kind visage in her eyes. The rest of the walk was mostly silent, small conversations about facts of the world and factions coming up which would be explained in due time as they made their way for the city, which was starting to appear over the tree line. It was still dark out but he could make out the shapes of buildings and things of that nature, passing by one of the gates it was clear that the guards were interested in whom was coming here at this late of night but after some small processing they would be allowed inside as Vee would begin to explain and point out things. Mostly stores, places where he could get supplies, and even locations to see later on when the sun was out. In addition to this he would begin to see what the moogle meant by the towns folk, there was a more than just humans here and there.
From regular humans, to human animal hybrids with similarities to himself, to creatures of various shapes and colors that seem to both walk on all fours but also fly and float around. Large yellow birds that seemed to be able to walk at very quick speeds, while others would ride them around in the night time, even more so walking plant people too. He’d take mental note to see them all later, to watch them in a bit of a better light and hope they were all as friendly as they seemed as he looked each over with his eyes sparkling with interest, he’s never seen a city like this before that was for sure. Eventually though he would zero in on where they were heading, it seemed like a strait path almost, which it seemed she made more so a direct bee line for her own little home.
The moogles house was a nice quaint place, not too big but nice enough to house maybe three or four people, "I have to go to the the alchemist shop in the morning, if you’d like you could um…stay over for the night? Only if you want, no pressure or anything!” She seemed very bashful, blushing a cute shade of pink as Ricter would snicker, finding it adorable over all that she seemed somewhat shy about him staying over. “Its fine, thank you for the offer, I wouldn’t mind staying for the night.” With his approval her face lit up brightly, making her flutter her wings a bit as she smiled and tugged at the sleeve on his shoulder, “Come in come in! Lets get you all settled in for the night, I’m sure your probably feeling pretty hungry right now. You could use a nice warm bath too!” It looked like this was an offer he couldn’t refuse anyway he put it as the door closed behind the two.
Coming in Ricter would first place his side bag down, containing the herbs he was holding for Vee at the moment, her tugging would lead him through what seemed like a nice sized living room, he could still fit luckily enough but the ceiling was a tad lower. Eventually she would stop pulling and flutter over to the kitchen as she would look around and begin pulling things here and there, “I wana make you something really nice, its a town speciality I think you’ll love. Oh! You need a tour, Erm! As you can see this is my living room, this is the kitchen, up stairs on the first door to your right is the bathroom, next to that is my room. Across the hall is my guest room and after that uh..” She’d pause as he began to think about something, as if she just remembered something important. This would make Ricter’s ears perk up and quirk a brow as he wondered what resident she might have here besides herself.
“Across from my room is…*sigh* my brother, he’s a bit of a odd one. You know, especially around new people staying over, just- if you see him don’t talk to him for too long, please. He can be insufferable at times…” She’d give a huff and put on her appron, she was a bit more humanoid than regular moogles, more so the ones form FF Tactics as she wore a simple robe and a tattered hat that was casually placed to the side once she began cooking. “I’ll keep that in mind, thanks again for your hospitality, I hope I can thank you again later.” He’d say politely as Vee would giggle, “You saved my life, its the least I could do for you, besides I have more planned in giving my own thanks.” She’d say with a soft smile, she seemed so chipper, even after the events that transpired she was just as optimistic as he was at times.
But looking down at the blood on his paws still the weasel would frown a bit, adding, “Is it alright if I wash up please? I…don’t want to stain anything.” Which she’d promptly add, “Yes of course! Um bathroom is upstairs as I mentioned before, feel free to use any towels you like.” She’d mention as he got up and made his way there, giving a small respectful bow at her hospitality. He would have taken a bath or something but as he walked into the room the tub was a bit on the small side, so he’d opt for just a simple shower instead. Turning on the water he would take off his clothes and get to washing away the blood and sweat from this nights excursion, relaxing and allowing his body to begin to lose tension. It was nice letting the water cascade over himself, and eventually he’d feel like he was starting to drift off as he leaned against the wall and thought about how this day started and how it was ending. He was in a new realm all together, and now he would have to cope with what could be his life, forever. He didn't know if he could take that sort of reality check but alias he would just deal with it till eventually he found a way back home as that was his main priority.
Deep in thought, he almost didn’t notice someone coming in as a voice would ring out over the sprinkling of water hitting himself and the tub. “Oh my, I didn’t expect a visitor to be in our shower, what brings you here~?” This voice was obviously male in nature but the sound of it was so flamboyant that any strait man’s heart would sink if it was directed at them in this situation. Looking quickly to the left as his eyes shot open he was tall enough to look over the shower curtain, which was closed thankfully, only showing his shoulders and head as he reflexively covered his groin. He’d see a floating moogle, near inches away from the edge of the curtain and floating in the air as he stared back at him with focused lulled eyes. He wore a smile and seemed to have a blue ball bobbing above his head as he wore little more than a pair of pajama pants and a small low drift shirt to show his stomach.
“I…uh, I came with your sister, she was in trouble so I helped save her um…in a way.” He tried to explain, the weasel completely flustered as he hadn’t expected to be walked in on like this at all, much less in such a direct manner. “Ooo~ bit of a night in shining armor type hm~? Well shes not the only princess around in this castle, I think I’d like a bit of a ‘happy ending’ too if you know what I mean.” As the male moogle said this all Ricter would think was “Oh god why..” At the their innuendo’s, clearly thinking about something else as he floated forward a bit more, only an inch away from seeing past his stomach as he was clearly looking down. At him rather than at his eyes, “Nice build, looks like you take care of yourself, but lets see what your trying to hide.” This sparked panic in the weasel who called for help “W-wait I..Vee! H-help!” which was only met with a grin and tone of voice that helped to make him more scared. “Don’t try to fight it, the doors locked anyways, so we can have all the fun we want~” Ricter would have totally jumped out of a window if he could but they only had a tiny one and he’d rather not run the streets naked.
However a loud BOOM would startle them both as it seemed like a red faced Vee would come barging in, like the FBI found your secret porn stash, “Vel! What the hell do you think your doing!” Vee would say as Vel, her brother would look back and respond causally “Oh, hey sis, I’m just greeting out guest, you should have told me you were bringing someone so cute over~” He’d make his rebuttal as she would flutter over and pull him by the tail, “He’s my friend! you have no business being in the shower with him! I’ve had enough of you freaking out everyone we have over, this is why no one ever visits! With mild protests as if this was a normal thing, Vel would be pulled out of the room by his yelling sister and the door would be closed, just drawing a sigh from Ricter as he would shake his head, “Part of me thinks I should have slept around the goblin corpses…” Ricter gave a plain faced expression as he knew full well with these two he was in store for a lot of shenanigans, the sound of the two arguing could still be heard on the other side of the door.
“Where are we heading too? If you don’t mind me asking.” Ricter would ask the moogle floating next to him, hoping she had some place to stay.
“Ambrosia, its a large city, its also where I’m from and all the other people I mentioned before.”
