[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu nods in response to Caius finding commonality between the shinobi's clan and the Dragonblades. It was long evident that Caius had a similar level of devotion to the mercenary group, but it was never clearer in the spoken word to the shinobi than now. Caius mentioning how he could no longer protect his king further resonated with Mu. The shinobi likewise could not protect his homeland. "It is quite difficult to not think of how your home is faring while we are stuck here. Especially when it wasn't in its most stable state when you left it. Doma scarcely had any time to rebuild before we began lending our aid the liberation of another country subjugated by Garlemald." [break][break] "What bothers me most about it is that my version of events does not seem to align with others that I have heard. A single warrior who was integral to my country getting their freedom back, seems to also be responsible for forestalling tragedies that have yet to pass for when I was sent here. That would be cause for some ease of the mind if they had not clearly had passed away in my time." The talk of some catastrophic event called the Final Days from Monori, the Miqo'te he briefly exchanged words with had particularly irked him. How would his home world or rather his home timeline fair if there was no Warrior of Light there to stop the future threats that he was told of? [break][break] Mu gave a smile to Caius when he acknowledged the journey that Mu had decided to embark on. "Fret not, Caius with the few years that we both have been in Zephon, my journey will feel miniscule in comparison. Until then, allow me not to bog down the mood further and enjoy the short moment of respite... Until you have to return to your paperwork that is."

[attr="class","skullbody"]"I shudder to think what could have become of me if my parents had decided to flee from Doma to Ishgard... not that staying made their fate any better in the end," the shinobi responds to Yuna's condolences towards the Au Ra's killing. "Despite not being raised in Au Ra culture, it is horrible to think about," the shinobi shakes his head. "Well allow me not to sink the mood with stories of events I weren't there to experience. We do have sandcastles to build after all." [break][break] "Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say that I flooded the castle," Mu begins to clarify. "It was rather the combine efforts of the Doman Liberation Front that allowed the castle to be flooded. I was actually part of the forces keeping soldiers at bay while the castle was under siege." The shinobi smiles for a moment. "As unorthodox as it was... It was thanks to the castle flooding that we were able to free our nation." [break][break] The Au Ra's progress in crafting a sandcastle was nothing short of ineffective. The combination of inexperience and the struggle of recalling how exactly the massive Doma Castle looked was going to make this a massive undertaking. Though, Mu managed only to create massive blobs of sand. Thankfully, Yuna noticed that using wet sand was much more preferrable to making sandcastles. Mu nodded in acknowledgement, "I see. That would explain our struggles up until this point." The shinobi followed suit in retrieving some wet sand and returned to his futile work. [break][break] Yuna would ask how the shinobi's castle was coming. "Well, it is shaping to be something. A castle is... possible. But Doma Castle is debatable." The shinobi had formed the sand in a circular shape that had resembled the shape of Doma Castle. At least the idea of a castle was present, but it certainly was far from the glory of Doma Castle.

[attr="class","skullbody"]"The Au Ra actually are not related to dragons," Mu clarified. "Though the misconception is expected. Especially since it was once common in my world. One time the comparison proved fatal for some. At one point those of my race who sought exile to another nation. The problem was that the nation was at war with dragons, so many were killed for having loose similarities to dragons." [break][break] Yuna would thank the ninja for his role in the Kraken slaying. "I'm sure the same could be said in your healing. Your role in the Kraken incident was just as important, if not more so," the shinobi responds. [break][break] Mu would follow Yuna into the sand with the new goal of making sandcastles. The shinobi would sit cross-legged on the sand, while pondering how in the Hells to make a sandcastle. Yuna would tell the ninja that the only castle she's seen was the one inhabited by King Hremit in Torensten. "I believe that castle is the third one that I've laid eyes on," Mu responds. "The other two would be Doma Castle in my homeland and Kugane Castle. The architectural styles of them being much different from the castle in Torensten." [break][break] "How about you try making a sandcastle of Doma Castle, boss? It only makes sense as you helped the Doman Liberation Front flood the place," Enma recommends to the Au Ra. [break][break] "The flooding aside... I suppose that makes sense to make try to make a castle that I am most familiar with, since Yuna will be doing the same with the temple she lived at," the shinobi responds to Enma. "I suppose that all there is to do now is blindly stumble my way into making a terrible excuse for a sandcastle, as I haven't the faintest idea on how to go about making one."

[attr="class","skullbody"]The Au Ra listens with great intent as Caius explains the reasoning behind the formation of the Dragonblades. It is a means to give its members purpose, just as much as it was a way to help others. This was something that struck the shinobi hard, as it was his clan that had given him purpose when he had nothing after finding out his master was working for the Empire. "I believe I understand now. The Dragonblades are united by a shared purpose, one that likewise provides the lot of you meaning. In that way your organization is not so different from my clan. My clan was too united in a common purpose," the shinobi said giving a brief smile. "Some odd years before my birth, my country Doma was conquered by the Garlean Empire. My clan was formed to fight against the Empire, often crossing blades with shinobi that were in Garlean ranks. In those cases, my clan would use the Soul Crystals of the shinobi they defeated to train new shinobi. That was what enabled me and a few others to learn how to be shinobi without being born into a clan, but despite the lack of blood ties, we were still a family, so much so that we had all taken the name of the clan as our own. Not soon afterwards, we would lend our aid to the larger liberation efforts and see our country freed." [break][break] The shinobi would down his drink a last time before finishing the story. "It was but a few months after then that I wound up here. At first, I believed I was somehow brought here for some purpose grand or small by the Kami, and though I cannot say with confidence that is no longer the case... I still must find some other purpose for as long as I am here." [break][break] "Caius, I thank you for the kind words and prospective," the shinobi says giving a bow. "Thinking this through, I believe that a journey of introspection is in order for myself. One that is not completely clouded by my current temperament. By that journey's end, mayhap you'll have a new Dragonblade at your service."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu nodded at Yuna's question, "Yes, her race is called the Mi'qote. My race is called the Au Ra and we are identified by our horns, scales, and tail. I thought I would specify as my choice of attire may not make my racial features that apparent at a glance." [break][break] "I am not a part of the organization, but I did do few jobs alongside Caius before, notably that time we killed the Kraken that caused that fifteen-day long storm in Torensten. There was also that time that we became Champions of the Hunt, while stopping a beast from terrorizing the city in the process." That was also the moment that Mu had started to get somewhat of a public reputation, one of which is one that he was going to have to slowly accept. [break][break] "I did recently pay Caius a visit at The Wyvern’s Rest. He, as well the rest of the Dragonblades seemed to have quite a number of things to keep busy with." Mu would opt out of mentioned the heart-to-heart he would have with Caius about his reluctance to join the organization. Perhaps another time would be more appropriate. [break][break] Yuna felt bad that Enma couldn't enjoy the food with them, so suggested that he picks the next activity. Mu was inclined to agree, but couldn't help, but wonder what kind of beach activity that Enma could do given that he couldn't touch anything either. [break][break] "Not quite," Mu responds. "Eorzea is a large geopolitical region consisting of a few city-states. One of them being Gridania, which is where Monori was from if I recall our brief conversation correctly. The region of which my country Doma is located is within a region often called The Far East." [break][break] As the ninja finished his chocobar and Mai Tai, he would turn the Enma. "Well, you heard Yuna earlier, Enma. What do you want to do next?" [break][break] "Sandcastles," Enma mutters. [break][break] Mu raises a brow. [break][break] "I can't exactly touch anything either Mu. So, I can only watch you two do something. So, I want to see some sandcastles." [break][break] "Well, I have no other ideas. I suppose it'll have to do," the shinobi says.

[attr="class","skullbody"]The girl certainly was persistent about drawing Mu and Enma (and so was Enma apparently), so much show that she would give a pouting face. If only such a display worked more often for when the Au Ra had to fend for himself as a child in the land of Doma. The young girl would also explain that she has no idea where her parents are since something happened to her and neither would anyone else, she's asked. Enma whispers to Mu, "Think that she's an Outlander like us?" [break][break] "It seems likely, but there's little use in speculating here," the shinobi responds to the floating oni. [break][break] The girl's pouting didn't move the ninja over, but her story manages to. Though obviously it doesn't show through his mask. Her story was a bit similar to the ninja's own early childhood. The least he could do for the girl is let her paint him. [break][break] "By the Kami. To think that you are all alone out here... Reminds me all too much of my time as a child. How have you been surviving out here?" [break][break] "Mu come on, I don't think that a pity party is all that necessary right now. She's probably heard something like that a few times by now. Just let the young lady paint already!" Enma interjects. [break][break] "Well, she does seem to be surviving well enough to afford paint..." the ninja responds. The ninja supposed that there was some type of small work available in Torensten for her. Either that or people were just very generous, to the point that they were also buying her paint. "Alright... You can paint the two of us. I don't see the harm in it. My name is Mu by the way and the floating monster head as you called him is Enma. So, your dog's name is Interceptor right? What's your name?"

[attr="class","skullbody"]"I'm surprised to hear that your partner was also at the manor, thankfully she managed to get out on her own. I still haven't the slightest idea what exactly was going on with that place." First a murder, then a fire, and this was the first he heard about Celes being held in the basement. Though it was to be expected somewhat. He did leave after getting those people out of the fire. [break][break] "Don't think that I am offended by the slightest by your offer Caius. I actually have considered the proposition in the back of my mind, if anything. The issue has lied solely with me. I don't believe that I have grown enough as a person to join the Dragonblades. At least not in an official capacity. I have not learned to shed the obligations that I've had in my own world, despite being here for so long. So, I just wandered about this world, helping wherever I could, while still attempting to be the shinobi my clan would expect me to be." [break][break] For these reasons, Mu has held himself to much unneeded secrecy for so long. It was all that he knew to do, yet much of it proved unnecessary owing to the simple fact that he was no longer in his homeland. [break][break] "However, it has proven difficult without them here. Owing to that, I have lacked a cause to pledge myself towards and as you have proven on multiple occasions, the Dragonblades is a worthy cause. Nevertheless, I am not yet ready to join that cause in full, for I first must find myself. It is not enough for me just to be Mu, I must also be Keimusho. When that happens, I might just be the one asking to join the Dragonblades myself." The shinobi laughs then takes another drink. "Anyway... I apologize if I soured the mood somewhat. I just believed that you were at least owed a reason behind my answer."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu nodded at Yuna's mention of the name Minori. "I've had a brief conversation with her in Provo, yes. I was surprised to see a Miqo'te in Zephon, so I had to ensure that they were from Hydaelyn as I suspected." Mu momentarily thought further on Yuna saying that she worked with the Minori in Provo. "Now that I think about it Yuna... I believe that I have heard your name before. Do you happen to work for the Dragonblades? Caius has mentioned your name in passing in conversations past." [break][break] Yuna would ask how Enma did not need food. "Well, it's simple really... At least I think it is." Enma responds. "What's the best way I can explain this?... Help me out boss." [break][break] "From what I can gather, he draws in energy from his surroundings in a way someone practiced in magic might, albeit at a much more gradual rate." Mu explains to best of his ability. It really wasn't something that he thought much about, let alone knowing the specifics of how it worked. Given that Enma is essential an artificial soul housed in the ninja's sword, he never thought about trying to feed Enma and he never needed to. You can't exactly try to feed a sword much of anything other than combat after all. [break][break] At the food stall Yuna would order a chocobo shaped chocolate and a drink called a Mai Tai. Given that Mu said that he would leave the flavors at the stall to her, he would order the same thing as Yuna. "These are quite the interesting looking items," Mu comments on the various food and drink served. "It is a bit different from what my home country would have. I wonder if they bear closer similarities to what the Eorzean people from my world would have."

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]MU
[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu initially left the comment that Caius made about him wondering of what restrictions that the shinobi were afraid of as it was. It's not that he believed that he was afraid of any restrictions, but more so that he didn't have much of a reason to retort the statement for now. Instead, he moved on to other subjects. [break][break] "Sounds familiar. That was at the Moonwhisper Manor, was it not?" The shinobi responds to the information given on Sephiroth's associate. "I never managed to learn why he set fire to the manor, let alone catch his name due to all of us splitting up to search for clues on the murder that occurred prior. He certainly came off as uncaring as you said. It didn't cross my mind that he was this Genesis individual until you mentioned the manor. It was quite the struggle trying to get those people out of that fire, but we somehow managed." [break][break] "Oh, don't worry about any drama in his romantic life. After all, there is plenty of drama with me around," Enma interjects to Caius wishing better fortune for the shinobi's romantic life. "Speaking of which... he's not afraid of restrictions Caius. If anything, he puts to many of them on himself," Enma says bringing back up the previous topic. [break][break] The shinobi raised a brow. "What are you implying Enma?" [break][break] "Come on, boss. Just think about it. You are always covered by your mask and armor. You don't join any organizations and you always introduce yourself with a pseudonym. We all know that it doesn't help much to conceal your identity since you might be the only Au Ra in town." [break][break] "By the Kami..." Mu whispers under his breath. He then lifts his head and takes a sup of the drink. "I suppose that there is no way of not addressing this now. It is as Enma says I'm not afraid of restrictions. Far from it. Though I suppose that my reasoning for it would not make total sense to either of you. After all, I never had much reason to begin with." [break][break] "We'll let's hear it then," Enma says. [break][break] "I'm getting there," Mu responds. "Enma you'd hadn't gotten to see much of my clan before we got sent to Zephon, but that is much of where this stems from. For two years I dedicated my life to my clan. It was there I was given both my surname and the name of Mu. It may not seem like much time, but under their tutelage, I was able to become a jonin in quick fashion. From there, my clan and I would be there to assist in liberating our country Doma from the Garlean Empire. I owe much to them, including the way that I have been carrying myself over the years. In fact, without their funding I wouldn't have met Enma."

[attr="class","skullbody"]"Correct. I am not from Zephon. I come from a land called Doma, on a world commonly called Hydaelyn," the shinobi responds to Yuna. [break][break] Yuna would agree to try to wing this vacation with Mu and Enma, suggesting that they may find out how to relax in the process. "I'm sure that it will be as difficult as any training that I have endured," the shinobi jokes. [break][break] "It's as good as a start as any," the shinobi surprisingly responds. Perhaps the years being on Zephon made him less apprehensive about removing the mask from time to time. The mask does still carry a certain level of sentimental value for the shinobi, due to his previous life in Doma. However, the mask's purpose of hiding Mu's identity is almost null in Zephon. After all, he is at least decently well known in Torensten, thanks to the Festival of the Hunt and the Kraken slaying. "It's better than any suggestion that I could have at least." [break][break] "But boss, I can't drink or eat food," Enma jokingly retorts. "How can I enjoy the sweetness of fruity drink or the brain freeze of an ice cream?" [break][break] "Aren't you the one usually complaining about me only eating rations? You can't experience the tastes of that either, yet you somehow take issue with it. With that logic, I'm sure you'll find some level of enjoyment watching me consume something else for once," Mu responds to his floating companion. [break][break] "Right, right. I'm just pulling your tail boss," Enma says. "I'm sure you and Yuna will enjoy whatever drinks and desserts the beach's fine culinarians have to offer." [break][break] "I see..," the Au Ra says to Enma before turning his speech towards Yuna. "Well, if we are getting drinks and ice cream, I'll leave the flavors to your recommendations."
