[attr="class","skullbody"]When Mu noted that the horns on his head were real, Caius commented that they seemed to very draconic in appearance. This was unsurprising given that the misconception that the Au Ra were descendants of dragons used to be commonplace in the Western regions in his world. "Funnily enough is that scholars in my world have had to challenge the idea that my kind were decedents of dragons. Thankfully they did because from what I heard some sought exile to a country that were at war with dragons. I'm sure that you could imagine how poorly that went for many of them." [break][break] Caius would mention that the enhanced hearing granted by Mu's horn would be beneficial to his work but expresses confusion as to what his profession is. "Well, I suppose that an adventurer would be the best label. We're not in the same place for long after all. I rarely take on job with the goal of seeking pay, with exception of some monster hunting jobs to sustain myself. Living off rations go a long way in saving funds." [break][break] "Perhaps this Sephiroth was brought to Zephon from a time before his attempt to destroy his own world. Not that it makes much difference given that he was willing to let the city get caught in the crossfire of his battle. Seeing that he has confidants willing to overlook that does not seem to bold well either." Such disregard for the surrounding when fighting didn't really sit well with Mu. It reminded him somewhat of Zenos yae Galvus's obsession with battle. [break][break] "By the Kami..." the shinobi says in response to learning that Caius's partner is host to the parasite. "I never expected you to be so tied to a situation like that. I can scarcely imagine the burden that must be for her."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Caius clarified that he was at the desk because his usual administrative clerks have the day off. "Well, it's nice that your hardworking staff get to have a day off every now and then," Enma responds. "Mu here, has me on 24/7 duty." [break][break] "And likewise, you are a 24/7 jokester Enma," Mu jests. [break][break] The mercenary leader would inquiry about Mu having a tail and scales. In retrospect, Mu released that it probably wouldn't be obvious to someone who hasn't seen any Au Ra in this world, let alone in their home world. "I do actually," Mu answers in response to Caius. "Those are traits of my race, the Au Ra." The ninja then turns around momentarily to show the mercenary his scaled, reptile-like tail. "I suppose it isn't easy to notice my tail when you are in the heat of battle and obviously the bulk of my scales are hidden beneath my armor." The Au Ra then turns back around to face Caius. "I'm sure that you have noticed the horns on my head at least. That too is a racial trait, the one which allows for hearing, similar to how Hyur have ears." [break][break] Caius would go on to explain his work after the Kraken incident, which consisted of plenty of noncombat related tasks. Though he would also reiterate that there were still threats to deal with such as two individuals named Kuja and Sephiroth. "Ah yes, you mentioned this Kuja individual after the Festival of the Hunt if I remember correctly. The Dragonblades certainly have their hands full if the rest of these threats are as dangerous as you say... I'll have to keep an eye out." [break][break] As Caius offers Mu a drink, he jokingly asked if they were there to join. "I'm afraid not," Mu replies. "There is so much work that needs to be done through the shadows after all." The ninja then pulls down his mask, revealing his scaled face. "Though that doesn't mean I won't accept a drink in the meantime."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu's conversation with his floating companion came to a halt, when a little girl with blonde hair approached with a dog them. That was certainly not a regular occurrence. Most people didn't just casually run up to Mu, unless they were an adventurer of some sort. After all, a masked man cladded in armor is not something that most would consider approachable. That went doubly so if Enma appears next to him, since he appeared to be some sort of demon. It could be much worse, but thankfully Mu has some sort of positive reputation in Torensten due to having a public audience with King Hremit on two separate occasions. Still, he never though a child that young would willing approach him with such enthusiasm. Perhaps a child's curiosity has no bounds? [break][break] Mu raised his brow as the young girl approached them with the request of painting him and Enma. As she asked the question, Mu eyes the dog behind her who looks at him and Enma with the caution that perhaps the girl standing in front of them should have. The little girl was at least aware enough to know that the dog was very protective of her, as she tries to ensure that the dog won't attack her. Despite that insurance, Keimusho felt the need to decline. Not due to the canine, but rather because there seemed to be a lack of parents in the vicinity. [break][break] "I probably shouldn't..." the shinobi begins to respond. [break][break] "Come on, boss. Let her paint us! There's no harm in letting a young artist express herself! Besides I want to be painted." Enma says. [break][break] Mu momentarily raises his hand to his forehead before exhaling a light sigh. He then turns his head to address the little girl. "As much as my friend here would kindly allow you to paint us, are you sure that you should be going around asking strangers to paint them without your parents around?"

[attr="class","skullbody"]Caius was indeed there. In fact, he was the one sitting at the front desk, to Mu's surprise. It was easy enough to overlook him as this was the first time that the shinobi has seen him outside of him mercenary garb. Thankfully Caius quickly let Mu know he was there thanks to his jest. "You are looking well yourself, Caius," the shinobi responds with a smile hidden beneath the mask. Well about as well as someone surrounded by a trail of paper could be. Though Caius's current position of dealing with paperwork, would not be something Mu would comment on. However, Enma would be a different story. The oni floated from the ninja's shoulder towards Caius's face. "Oh no! How far has the mercenary leader have fallen?! The Dragonblades have demoted Caius Dragelion... to office work!" [break][break] "Enma...," Mu says to the Anima in a somewhat stern tone. [break][break] "Common boss. I'm just joking!" Enma responds. "Though sheesh, I couldn't imagine doing all this paperwork on top of a mercenary job. I'm sure Mu would find this to be a pain in his tail and scales." [break][break] "I concur..." the Au Ra loathingly admits. Though a big reason why the ninja would agree with Enma, is that it would likely take up much more time than warranted, especially for a haul of paper like this. After all the Far Eastern writing script used in Doma was drastically different from this world's script, albeit it is much closure to Eorzean so it would be possible, but not ideal. "So, how have things been going for you and the Dragonblades recently?" The shinobi says, somewhat still on the subject of Caius's paperwork. "Given the amount of paper that is here, I'm sure that there is no shortage of jobs that the Dragonblades have been taking."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Thankfully the woman in question did not take any offense to Enma criticizing her for not her attempt to return to the boat. In fact, she was rather curious about him which is for sure a vast improvement over the potential unease that Enma’s oni-like appearance could bring. If anything, she agreed with Enma’s comment, noting that she is bad at relaxing. “That is certainly a sentiment that I share. It is as if I find myself unrelaxed when I attempt to relax by conventional means,” the shinobi responds. Being adorned in his armor would certainly be an indicator of such. [break][break] “I’m Yuna by the way. And you called him, Enma right?” The woman says as she introduces herself. Mu sort of wondered why she was so curious about Enma. Maybe she is used to seeing unconventional beings or a regular basis? There is no way Mu could know for sure, especially as her current state of dress did not imply any combat or magical inclination, but that is to be expected given that this is supposed to be a vacation to the beach. “Yes, that’s right,” the shinobi responds. “This is my companion Enma and you can call me Mu.” [break][break] Yuna would then ask if they had any plans while on the trip and state that she was simply winging the vacation. “No, I don’t have any plans either,” Mu admits. “Admittedly, I’m only here because of Enma here.” The shinobi then turns to Enma. “So what are your plans now that we are on the beach that you desperately wanted to come to Enma?” [break][break] “We’ll just wing it, boss!” Enma responds. “By the kami…” Keimusho mutters under his breath. Though he really shouldn’t have expected more than that. Enma had never really been to the beach for a vacation before and to be frank neither had Mu. Sure, he has been to the Ruby Sea back in his homeworld but he was never there for long, let alone for a vacation as his focus back then was adding in Doma’s rebellion against the Garlean Empire. “Well, I suppose if it is no trouble for you, that you wouldn’t mind if the three of us try to wing this vacation together?” The shinobi says turning his head back to Yuna. Maybe she’ll have a better idea of what to do here than we do, the shinobi figured. After all she is dressed for the beach.

[attr="class","skullbody"]Going on a cruise like this is certainly not something that Keimusho would go out of his way to do. After all, he was rather obsessed with his duties. It seemed almost pointless for him to go, but thanks to a combination of a large amount of pestering via Enma and an emphasis from a courier that it was extremely difficult to locate Mu in order to give him the invitation he pretty much didn't have much choice. The shinobi figured that it would be almost rude to decline the invitation that he had been given in large part to him being one of the Kraken slayers. Despite being rather apprehensive about going, Mu did not find the experience unpleasant. By nature of this being a vacation, this has been a much-needed relaxation experience for him in spite of him being fully adorned in his armor. [break][break] The time of the voyage itself soon came to an end as the boat made port to Choco Island. For some reason that Mu couldn't fathom, this destination excited his floating oni companion. "There it is! It's the beach! Come on boss, let's go immediately," Enma says. [break][break] "Alright. Enma. Alright. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the beach in your own way." Mu responds. Though in response, he wondered how exactly Enma could even enjoy an experience like this given that he is just projecting himself from the shinobi's blade. Enma doesn't eat so he can't enjoy the catering and he would just likely phase through the sands of the beach. Perhaps the scenery alone was enough? [break][break] As he steps onto the beach, he was almost run into by a young woman who seemed to be heading back towards the ship. After apologizing, the woman comments that the scenery of the beach was almost too nice for her. Enma responds, "Nonsense! We've just made it to the beach. You couldn't have gotten enough of the scenery just yet!" [break][break] "Enma let's not be rude," Mu interjects. "Apologies for my companion here, he can be a bit abrasive. I think I get what you mean about it being a bit too nice though."

[attr="class","skullbody"]"Boss let's go the market and get some real food!" Enma yells to Mu. For some reason the shinobi couldn't figure out, this was the floating oni's current obsession. Enma didn't need to eat food. After all his form was just an aetheric projection coming from the sword hilted at his lower back. This wouldn't be the first time that Enma mentioned something about food to Keimusho and it likely wouldn't be the last if he didn't relent to the oni's pleads. It was almost as if Enma was more tired of Mu eating rations than the shinobi himself was tired of eating rations. Though as the shinobi walked towards the market, the more he wondered when the last time that he had a proper meal was. The first thing that came to mind was after the ceremony that King Hremit held for Caius and himself for slaying the Kraken. In retrospect, Mu was beginning to think that may have been a bit too long. [break][break] Maybe Enma had a point, but to a certain extent eating rations were almost nostalgic for the ninja as it was an eating pattern he quickly fell into when he was first training in the shinobi arts, as well as while engaged in missions in Doma. Enma, floating alongside the ninja with a youth's enthusiasm, "Come on, boss, you know you want to," the oni urged. "Think of all the things you could eat using proper ingredients." [break][break] "You seem to be getting ahead of yourself, Enma" the shinobi responds. "It is not as if I am a culinarian of any sort. I'm not sure if I could make something that is too elaborate." Not to mention that he would have to figure out what he could make with whatever the markets could offers. Which would be something he'd like to figure out soon.

[attr="class","skullbody"]"Hey boss. How about we go visit the Dragonblades? What was their place called again? The Dragon's Nest?" Enma says to Mu. [break][break] "Close. It is the Wyvern's Rest. And I suppose that we can pay them a visit," the shinobi responds to his horned companion. [break][break] "Really? I think that's just a missed opportunity. They have a dragon after all, and he probably rests there." [break][break] "That's assuming that they actually keep him there. I'm not sure if the populace cares to have a dragon in the city. Even if it's one that the king himself endorses." Though the same really could be said for Enma and his rather frightening appearance. This really never posed much of an issue since Mu preferred keeping him and Enma out of sight until it is necessary. [break][break] Keimusho and Enma had spent the better part of the past few months doing the odd job and additional often thankless deeds between Torensten and Sonora. Now that they were back in back in Torensten for a decent stint. It would be the perfect time to finally pay the Mercenary Guild a proper visit. Especially since if Mu says no, then Enma will never let the shinobi hear the end of it. With how busy the shinobi often forced himself to be, he never really thought about why he never visited the Dragonblades' headquarters. As he walked towards the Wyvern's Rest, his mind ponders what the Dragonblade's exploits may have looked like since the Ceremony of the Kraken Slayers. Had they have dealt with their issues with the Original Sin? Perhaps the mercenaries had equal or even greater adversaries to deal with now. All these questions and more would have to be asked whenever he made his way to the headquarters. [break][break] Once he made it to the entrance of Wyvern's Rest, Mu took a moment to examine the exterior. So, this is how to place looks. he thinks. The shinobi proceeds to open the doors and bows towards the worker at the desk. "Hello, would Caius or Celes happen to be in today?"

[attr="class","skullbody"]Cecil denied Mu's offers to reimburse him for the coin that he spent for the meal. Mu was assured by the knight that he considered it a debt paid. "As you say," the shinobi replies. If Cecil is this adamant about repaying the shinobi for his assistance earlier then Mu sees little reason to argue further. The knight went on to explain how he started his journey looking for his allies, but primarily gives aid to the helpless. The shinobi never thought to go look for the allies of his world. He has encountered a handful of individuals from his world, two of which both somehow seem to be Eorzea's Warrior of Light. However, he hasn't encountered his most direct allies: his clan here. He felt that if they were here then they would have found him already. The pseudonym of Mu had originated from them after all and it was more or less known throughout Torensten. Cecil's urge to help the helpless on the other hand was a sentiment that Mu could echo rather easily. [break][break] To give further credence to Cecil's desire to help those in need, he would tell the shinobi how he intends to stay in this village to stop the current monster migrations that have disrupted the peace that this village once held. "Do you have an inkling of the cause of the surges of these monster attacks? It seems that Torensten as a whole has this issue, but that these smaller settlements do not enjoy to same level of security that its capital does." [break][break] Cecil would ask if Mu had any business in the cities. "Nothing beyond the odd job or two. I go back and forth between the two cities to help those who need it. Though I did manage to unintentionally gather somewhat of a reputation around myself through deeds in Torensten."

[attr="class","skullbody"]Cecil informs Mu about a local tavern and that he'd negotiate a place for him and Enma to stay for the night. It seems to the shinobi that Cecil knew the innkeeper relatively well if he was able to do something like this. Mu nodded in acknowledgement. "I see. I highly appreciate the assistance, Cecil," Mu responds. He and Enma proceed to follow the knight to the tavern distinguished only by the logo of a mug on the building's exterior. As the knight promised, Cecil explained how Mu assisted with the flan situation. This did not result in a free room for the night, but one at a discounted rate. This was completely understandable by the ninja who paid the asked price for the room. He didn't expect an inn in village like this to be bustling with business so a discount would be the best they could hope for. Besides Mu wasn't one to barter anyway. [break][break] Once he and Cecil were seated, the knight offered him a bag of food for him to eat later. It certainly saved him the trouble of stocking up on rations in the morning. The shinobi accepts the bag that the knight offers him. "My thanks Cecil, though you have already done enough for me," Mu says. "Shall I reimburse you for the coin spent on this meal?" [break][break] Cecil would ask Mu what brought him to this village. "Nothing in particular," Mu admitted. "Perhaps curiosity more than anything. To see how the state of Torensten's villages compare to the capital. Now I see how the defenses pale in comparison." [break][break] "Does that mean that we will be going to villages like these more often boss?" Enma asks. [break][break] "Certainly," Mu responds to Enma. He turns his attention back to Cecil. "Enma and I more or less travel around helping out others whenever we can. Though we often find ourselves going back and forth between Torensten and Sonora. I never thought to travel around this much before we got sent to Zephon. What of yourself? It seems that you been in this village a while based on your familiarity with the place."
