Dae-seong looked at Lumikki curiously "What do you mean the first of his kind?"
Michael wasnt really open to all members of the guild, he was mostly close with other females. The Guild Master and her wife in particular. He knew the man was just using them to get a spot of power and prestige. Selling his own body so to speak. And he knew some of the younger guild mates liked the attractive rogue like fellow. The whole tattoo and bad boy scars managed to sell him well with the ladies of Blue Pegasus, plus the suit he got made him look a bit refine. But Dae-seong wasnt really falling for his schemes. Though the way Lumikki spoke about it made it seem he was non human. He pondered about that. Michael wasnt an elf or a demi human or a halfbreed elf human. The guy was as far as away nephilim as possibly. He could be a dark race, so vampire, werewolf or daemon. Would make sense why he hasnt said anything.

Dae-seong looked at Kazz who seemed mezmerised. Which was another curious sight to see. Though his attention soon went back to Lumikki as he was interested in this conversation between them. A little 'tea' on the newest member.

His eyes darted from one masterpiece to another, each stroke resonating with a hidden story. His mind swirled with thoughts and emotions he didn't fully understand. But just as his gaze began to intensify, Nensh, snapped him out of his trance. "Nensh! Can't you see I'm in the middle of an art-induced existential crisis here?" Kazz groaned, his brows furrowing in annoyance. Nensh let out an exasperated sigh, her feline ears twitching with impatience. "Enough with the melodrama, Kazz. I still want to know about the other one, i think his name was Dae-seong?" Kazz rolled his eyes, his flippant nature surfacing once again. "Oh sure, Nensh. Let's just put the fate of the world on hold while we indulge in some idle chit-chat, shall we? Can't you see I'm busy having an existential crisis here?" He waved his hand dismissively as if brushing away Nensh's concerns. Nensh let out an exasperated growl, her tail flicking from side to side. "Kazz, I get it. You're in touch with your emotions and all that. But this is important. We haven't met someone else from Joyan since we have been in this country." Kazz sighed, his impulsive nature warring with his desire for adventure. He glanced at Miriko, who was still intently focused on her artwork. With a slight nod, he begrudgingly made his way toward the enigmatic figure known as Dae-seong. azz sighed, his impulsive nature warring with his desire for adventure.

Clearing his throat, Kazz tried to put on his most charming smile. "Hey there, Dae-seong right?! Mind if I ask you a few questions?" Kazz casually leaned against a nearby vendor stall, his nonchalant attitude on full display.

Lumikki looks at Dae-seong from the corner of her eye, confused as to why he cares so much. Michael was his guild mate, she figured he would know him by now. "Well yes, first of his kind. I don't encounter Blue Pegasus up here often 'nd I don't meet guys with tats on their necks wearin suits really." Lumikki shrugs, "Or a personality like his. Man uses words I've never heard of. Do any of ye know what waifu or twink means?"

More birds would perch around where Dae-seong sat. Curious of the man and the encounter. "I am now curious though mate, are ye an interesting character yerself?" She went back to the exact pose she had before hand so didn't disturb her artist more than need be.

Kazz himself to interest to inquiring more of the man in the chair. Lumikki was only more curious for it. She couldn't help but wear a cheeky grin and a colder gaze.

These conversation where interesting to be the listener of, these conversations. After all she was able to keep track of these things while working away. It seemed she was happy with the progress with Lumikki's picture. She was even adding in the crow watching casually for a moment for them to fit in perfectly in place that would fit. Even if they would move around afterwards. She had after all just needed them to sit still for just one moment. With the magical part of that being done already. It just showed waiting would do wonders.


She would have asked Kazz if he wanted something, but some one beat her to that punch so to say. She would even stop painting and wait to hear if he wanted anything, just to make sure she heard him if he did speak, a sign that she was paying attention or not at the time.

"I see, interesting way to word it" he didnt want to pry into it. But to him it was just odd to refer to a Blue Pegasus member as 'first of his kind'. That wording was not really fitting in the context of guilds. He'll put a pin on that and investigate later. For now he will focus on other presented topics. Such as answering Lumikki what waifu means
"The term 'waifu' is a word that is used prevalently in the Manga, ie joyan comic book, fandoms. However Joyan-speakers will never use that word. The real word for wife is tsuma. 'Waifu' is used to refer to a fictional girl or woman that you have sexual attraction to, and you would even marry. The male version of that would be 'husbando'" he says with air quotes before continuing "Waifu and Tsuma are completely different. Waifu is a joke word that fans call fictional female characters that they love and would Joyan word for wife. I hope that helped" he spoke to Lumikki in his usual formal and polite tone. Before turning his attention to the other male in this mix who actually called out to him

The Joyan pegasi was curious as to what the man had to ask him and why ask him? It seems he was becoming a Q and A person. "Sure? Ask away?" he spoke, glancing over to Miriko to make sure she was ok, before retuning his attention to Kazz

Kazz pushed himself off the vendor stall and tilted his head, eyeing Dae-seong intently. Nensh leaped onto Kazz's shoulder, her eyes squinting with determination. "Kazz, I just need to know if Dae-seong is here for any particular reason," she whispered, her voice tinged with urgency. "We've been here for months, and we haven't run into anyone else from Joyan. It's strange, don't you think? Maybe Dae-seong can shed some light on this mystery."Kazz let out a short sigh before starting his line of questions  "So, Dae-seong, my feline friend here has a few questions for you," he said, motioning towards Nensh. "She's curious to know if you're here for any particular reason. We've been stuck in this country for months now, and haven't run into a single soul from Joyan. Have you encountered anyone else from there?"  Kazz noticed that the mention of Joyan had piqued the interest of Miriko and Lumikki, who had been observing from a nearby stall. He could sense their curiosity growing, but it put him off from digging deeper into Dae-seong's story. The last thing he needed was a crowd joining in on his already casual interview.

Lumikki listened to the explanation and she appreciated the proper context. Looking back and forth from him and her starting point of her pose. ”Aye, that’s good ta know, thanks. There are really too many words out there for me to figure all at once. As for me wording prior, don’t mind it. I simply use the words at the moment I feel suits me thoughts best. The lad simply felt a first for me and so its how I spoke it. Hmmm, do most Joyan words have that many rules and intricacies?”

She asked him as much as she asked herself. Thought Kazz spoke next and mad an inquiry of his own. The Daemon listened to his question though she didn’t know if it was more important to him or his companion or why his friend didn’t speak for themself.

”If ye ever run into the Heartless Angel of the North, lads a Joyan himself. Don’t know how much he knows for yer inquiry but I heard from folk in the war we just fought, he had his own stakes to win it. There’s also a member of ours wondering round Fiore whose of those lands but raised elsewhere. And if me ravens serve me well, we have a new member from those lands as well. Me point ta say is this. Ye’ll find more of yer ilk round if ya keep looking and happen upon it.”

Lumikki herself didn’t know of Kazz’s reasonings or mission, so she no longer pried. Thinking the questioning would be more open and entertaining. She figured she could at least pass the lad what she knew so his journey was for not. Though it was not on her or her place to say more than she parted with.

She noticed more movement from the corner of her eyes. ”Aye loves, if ye want to be painted in, Ima need ye to do better to stay still. And I don’t want to hear yer grumbling about it. I’ve seeeeeeen how still ye could hold for the prospect of a meal!”

”Simply a rowdy bunch. You could always cut them out of the picture, I manage to stay still just fine.” Trygve, the raven on her shoulder, tried to butt in while the others were being scolded.

”Don’t start mate…”

The more interesting part here between the questions and everything. Miriko would actually just out of no where say something in Joyan. After all she was part Joyan and knew the language."Here here, Let me pose them."She did not realize she was thinking that out loud but she seemingly just still spoke joyan with out even hinting she could speak it. Miriko made a small floating hand from what she was painting with, not on the canvas but in the air. Then the hand held on to the brush she was using.

Her distraction crow did not work, Alistair was not normally one to try and keep people in line let alone animals so he was most likely napping. Then Miriko seemed to have a gentle enough touch to move them in place of where in which she had been painting them to start with. If the crows really noticed. They would realize that even if she looked Pale all of the time. Miriko took really good care of skin, She over all smelled of water lily and lavender. Over all she could pose them with ease if the crow let her.

It was different, Miriko was not normally so hands on. But she also didn't interact with various different kinds of bird as much. So she was trying to see what would happen."There, Just a few more minutes okay?"She mentioned back in Fiorian with in a moment off looking over. Then looked around for a moment and went back to work.

Kazz asked him if he encountered anyone from Joya. He motioned with his head towards Mimi "Does Miriko count?" his guildmate over here. Miriko is a pretty joyan name. And even if she wasnt joyan she might be at least part joyan. He was a bit surprised the guy asked him that. Dae-seong wasnt too bothered by not seeing people from his homeland. Truthfully good riddance.

He looked at Lumikki and remebered "Ahh, another thing I forgot about your waifu topic. You must have not known it, because it is not really a fiorian slang word. It is a caelish word. Combines the caelish with joyan. You could say it is Joyish" (IC version of engrish)
Anywho, Dae-seong was glad to be of help. He chuckled a bit to himself. So much knowledge, he might as well joined those Collective Mind guys. But then again, they lack style. Nah, he'll be the best from Blue Pegasus.

Anywho, he was glad things seemed peaceful. Lumikki's heartless angel seemed interesting. What does one do to gain such a title. Nevertheless it was entertaining
"I wonder...." he looks at Miriko "Would you like to get refreshments after you finish with your art here?"

Just as Kazz leaned against the vendor stall with a casual attitude, his ear suddenly caught a buzzing sound. It was a familiar annoyance that could only mean one thing – his guild master, Kon, was calling a meeting and furrowing his brows in concern. Nensh let out a small sigh, her tail swishing back and forth with agitation. "Well, isn't that just perfect timing? We can't even have a simple conversation without some interruption," she muttered under her breath. Kazz nodded in agreement and gave a quick wave to the three. "Sorry, Duty calls. We'll catch up later!" Without waiting for a response, he took off in the direction of the guild, determined to find out the reason behind the urgent meeting. As Kazz made his way through the bustling Orchidia Markets, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance. He had been on the cusp of discovering more about his missing clansman, and now it seemed he would have to put that quest on hold.
{Exit} [1890]

Kazz left the scene so suddenly, it made Lumikki feel a little out numbered now. The soft balance of before is all gone. She shrugged it off to herself and she looked over the other two. She was still being painted and they were still her guest.

"What kind of refreshments do ye desire? I've come to know this city fine enough." She looked over to the two and thought it over. "I know a few cafes the lass could probably enjoy. A few have particularly tasty pastries."

She gestured to a few of her stray ravens to listen to her, "Could ya loves check for me which are the most empty?" A few of her ravens flew off in many directions. Darting to the locations she's requested of them.

"What do ya think of the shops here? I haven't traveled me share to know if they are good or not, though I find them keen enough. I never met someone to use their magic as ya do and make a life of it. I usually figured one puts it toward questing and all that it entails, but I think I like yer way of it. If I find I want to settle down for a slower life, maybe I'll keep yer kinda trade in mind."

One of her ravens perched a bit behind Miriko, looking over her work so far. "It's quite interesting seeing another Revna, think I even like how the girl did the ravens."

Lumikki giggled at their interest in the portrait. Pleased that even her birds could enjoy it already. She couldn't wait to hang it on the wall.

Two of her birds came back, telling her how the cafes would quite full. With five minutes more worth of time, that remainder returned as well and it seemed the group had three options to choose if they were to humor her offer. "I ya agree to me plans, I have two cafes ya could choose. One that enjoys making art on their drinks and serves an array of little cakes, the other sells more of an array of pastries and milk teas. They also serve some ice creams in the latter. The choice is yers so ya choose."

Food or water? Miriko seemed to stop for a moment and realized maybe one of them would be good. just casually mentioning."I might not mind some water, I have not had anything since we departed on the airship here."That was partly a lie, Miriko did not remember how long a go it has been since she ate or drank and she had a horrible of doing this to herself. Water was her answer anything else might have just been extra that she would be thankful for. The entire idea of the starving artist in this point was more self inflicted. For Miriko already had plenty enough jewel to eat she just didn't because she was working.



But alas it seemed Miriko's smarting insight proved useful here, as she was logically still a working mage, just a different kind of working mage. Miriko would even point out."My magic is fully capable and can still be made to harm other people."Miriko might not seem like it but she was still a mage. Miriko seemed innocent enough but she still was a mage that was powerful enough to pack a punch for a spell or two if needed to cast a spell. Even point out."All the images I can make don't require me to use paper of canvas, I can simply take my staff and paint an image and it would as a spell."

Then she would point to the crow like figure she made of paint not too long a go and said."Example I can make that blow up and hurt some one, or charge at them to attack them."it's still to think paint splatter could hurt some one but that was just how Miriko's magic is.

As for the part of her work and market conversation."The shops are fair to me, Hence why I don't mind travelling back her form time to time. I don't try and mess up their flow of business and they are nice to me. Keep in mind i am a travelling painter so i see a lot of different things form time to time."Indeed she had saw a lot so has Alistair but no one had asked the Cattian anything yet.

If they wanted to go eat something they would have to wait until Miriko was finished, because she was not moving from her seat, unless Alistair forced her to.

He didnt quite understand what Kazz wanted as the guy left before he could further elaborate what he meant or wanted. So all that was left was these two ladies. Miriko and ... whats her name? Lumi .... Luma? Lukki?

Anywho she asked her crow friends to search for a cafe and they came back with their crowy results to which she'd tell them the options. He'd look at Miriko and ask "Which do you prefer? I like option one" he said merely to give some feedback if she was indecisive

As he waited, he fiddled with his own magic which was more light based as he created a small blade of light and fiddled with it. He glanced to see if she was any closer to finishing with painting as he was curious to see where this Paradise Dawn member would lead them. He had to admit, it was interesting meeting people from other guilds. Paradise Dawn wasnt a guild he was ever interested in joining. Too much grunt work in his opinion, but it was fun meeting them
