~Brenner~
"Whoa, why!?" Brenner cried out, holding up his switchblade. "We need to do more important things here, like wait until I'm a dragoon before I kick your ass!"

~Nina~
"What!? Really?" Nina asked, surprised at the information. "Are you sure it was him? Oh and... All I can do is try to get through to him."

Rival grabbed Brenner's wrist and moved his arm to a painful position. "There isn't time to rest." He said.

~Kala~
"Yes, I'm sure." Kala simply breathed in deeply. "He picked you up right before using that attack... how did he get so powerful...? I mean Rival simply saved my skin before but this time... Well anyway... Hey, I have a resolve..." She grinned, holding up her glasses.
And dropping them.
And smashing them with her foot.
~Brenner~
"I..." Brenner gasped.
"Understand..." He shot up and began to run ahead. "If it's one thing I'm good at, it's running!" He cried heading into the pass...

Rival looked on as Brenner ran ahead. He looked back. When will the hunt begin... He thought, as he walked down the trail Brenner had moved through.

~Nina~
"...Hopefully your resolve isn't anymore destructive than the spectacles... My mother gave you that belonged to HER mother." Nina said flatly, her eyes half way closing in a gesture of annoyance.

~Kala~
"Ahh..." Kala sweatdropped as she widened her eyes.
"I..." She quickly bent over and gathered the pieces.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I mean, I have no memory of it!! Ack!!!" She cried out, finally collecting the pieces. "Heh, looks like I'm gonna have to get them fixed now... Uh... ONWARD!" She pointed her finger toward Kuiz and ran down the path.
~Brenner~
Several hundred feet into the pass, Brenner huffed again. He was absolutely exhausted. But... he was afraid of that knife so...
The man continued forward. "How much farther!?" He whined.

Rival came around a bend. "... We should be clear now." He said, sitting down.
~Kuiz~
In Kuiz, a large man in shawls could be seen sitting by the gate, as if waiting for something. At the time, he was talking to a silver haired man.

~Brenner~
Brenner sighed deeply. "So it's safe? You're not going to throw a knife at me if I sit down, will you?" The older man glared, sliding to his derriere. He glanced up at the clouds. "So, wonder what's gonna be at the top... luckily we haven't run into anything yet," He laughed.

Rival sat down and looked up at the sky. "Cold most likely." He said.

~Brenner~
"Heh, not scared?" Brenner shrugged. "Sounds like you... hey, have any kids at your age?" Brenner decided to quip, wanting to create a conversation as they rested.

~Nina~
"GET BACK HERE!!" Nina shouted, getting her rod out and running with it in hand, chasing the other woman as they entered the desert. The large boulder was relatively close so the two women could afford to run without fatiguing heavily.
"YOU BETTER FIX THOSE GLASSES OR I'LL KILL YOU!" She yelled again, firing a few small scale light projectiles at the assassin, aiming near her feet not actually trying to hit her.

~Kala~
"I LOVE YOU TOO, MY EX SISTER-IN-LAW TO BE OR WHATEVER!!" Kala cried as she performed a lovely front flip onto a rock, and again onto another. It was something she was always crazy good at... running away.
"COME ON! I'll fix 'em! Promise!!!"

~Rival~
"Hmm..." Rival said. He seemed to be lost in thought, barely absorbing what Brenner was saying.
~SHM~
The giant left the area, and the Silver haired man was left on his own. "Hm?" He asked, hearing the commotion. "Erm, pardon, is there some trouble over there?" He asked, nearly getting fried by a stray light. "Cripes!" He exclaimed. "What's the fire?" He asked.
The man seemed aged, but he was well dressed. He had a full body, but wasn't particularly weighty or muscular. His silver hair was neatly gelled back with but a few strands sticking over his forehead. "Ahm, do I need to get a guard?" He asked, trying to be helpful.
~Kala~
Kala stepped forward, hearing the man. "Huh... A guard you say?" She grinned, turning to Nina. "Hey... maybe he can help us lead to Eicca..." She then pointed to her chest.
"So would you be willing to take a couple of pretty girls as your personal guards? I...er I mean we... can prove pretty useful!"
~Brenner~
"You're really NO fun to talk to, are you?" Brenner sighed, glancing up at the sky, half dazed. "Fine, I'm shutting up."
~Rival~
"Hrm?" Rival said. "You say something?" He asked.
"Yeah... DO YOU HAVE KIDS!!!" Brenner shouted. "Good, I hope you heard that."
"... Possibly." Rival said, in a distant tone. "Who can say."
"What so are you saying you're a man whore?" He calmly joked.
"I did what the job demanded."
"... Uh..." Brenner sweatdropped. "So, seducing women was part of the job huh? Surprised that Ray wasn't blabbing about that."
"Certain situations had certain demands." Rival said casually.
"Uh... right... did Zephyr had to do any of that? I mean kinda awful for a young girl..." He shrugged, trying not to be too spooked by the man.
"She had no need to do anything like that." Rival said. "Besides, she has people important to her." He sighed.
"You don't have any one important to you? ...Wait she never mentioned anyone really... unless you count a killer psycho ex-fiancee."
"She had a boyfriend." Rival said. "And I don't have anything particularly important to me."
"So just killing yourself off seems awesome, huh?" Brenner asked. "Look, I lost people too and well... what of that girl that called you brother? She was an odd one..."
"Life is precious. Watch be made that it not be wasted." Rival said, picking up a pebble and flinging it at Brenner's forehead. "And I haven't lost anyone. As I said, I don't have anyone of particular importance to me... Mind, that girl was puzzling... But I'm afraid I don't know her."
"Bet you do. You might've forgotten. Not many young girls would flock to you like that. Ahahaha..." Brenner smirked.
Rival shrugged. "I wouldn't know if I had family."
"Well how about after... since well you're helping me... I help you get your memories back? Trust me, I've been thinking of ways to beat you over the head." Brenner sighed, rubbing his head. "Why'd you throw that pebble anyway?"
"I don't need help, and because you were being foolish. I have no need to seek my memories. All I have is my life." He sighed. "Maybe once this messiness is over I'll open a bar. I've never drank, but I have an incredible knowledge of drinks." He said with a shrug.
"Hey you may have family. And we should find that girl too!" Brenner pumped his fist. "Besides, owning a bar... I thought you weren't the talkative type."
"Don't need to be to mix a few drinks."
"Gah... Look, all I'm saying is that maybe people do care for you but you're too much of an ass to care." Brenner growled.
"Perhaps, but I don't know them." Rival said casually. "In any case... Is there any food? You did prepare rations, correct?"
"... Do you really eat that much? WE JUST had food not that long ago. I packed enough for three meals a day... NOT twelve." Brenner glared. "Suck it up. After all you've been telling me that for a week straight. AND I'm not the type to actually throw harmful objects just because I need a break after hour or so."
"You didn't bring any food along, did you?" Rival asked calmly.
"I did. I brought a week's worth. We just had something a bit ago. -.-"
"You do know how long ago a bit was, do you? We've been on this climb for five hours." Rival sighed. "And I thought speaking like that was something only Zephyr could do."
"Uh... habit I picked up from her, I guess." Brenner shrugged. "And I'm not hungry. >.>"
"I've been her superior for almost five years. It's not something you can pick up..." He looked away for a moment. "... I've tried."
"...Wha?" Brenner blinked. "Uh... look I don't know. I'm just faster to catch onto things, okay?"
"Are you sure?" Rival asked. "... Actually... Do you have any children?"
"... >.>. No." Brenner quickly and yet slowly lied.
"... -_khbvoy" Rival attempted to say.
"...Wow, you just suck at that." Brenner laughed. "Fine... can you keep a man secret?"
"Go on..." Rival sighed.
"Well... I had a girlfriend when I was a wee boy... -.-; Yeah I'm done here. You can guess what happen."
"Didn't you just finish calling me a whore?" Rival asked.
"Y-yes, but it's not like I was with a million women... and men. >.> <.<" Brenner joked with a laugh. "Just kidding, man. Kinda well, sick if you were assigned that crap."
"Not assigned."
"...Yeah, I know. That's what I said. Not assigned."
"Not assigned, but I did what I must." Rival said.
"Uh... ew... and you call me a man whore?" Brenner sighed. Heh, wow longest conversation with Rival... ever. Should go in my diary.
"In any case... Tell me about the child."
"What about the child?" Brenner raised a brow.
"I have a thought. About how old would he or she be?"
"...I was seventeen. Just... look it's none of your business, okay?" Brenner suddenly glared. "I was just doing what was best and that was to send her somewhere safe since you know... I was a kid."
"..." Could it be... Rival thought.

~Nina~
"Kala what the HELL are you doing?" Nina asked the woman, smacking her over the head when she caught up to her. "No, sir you do not need to get a guard. It was all fun and games, I'm gravely sorry if I almost hit you, sir." The healer said, bowing to the man.
"We don't get many travelers here in Kuiz. Mind if I ask what brings you here?" Nina asked, rising up from her bow and smiling, flipping back her hood to reveal her face.

"Hm?" The Silver Haired Man bowed in response. "I have an acquaintance who told me of this place. I heard wonderful things, but I'm afraid I don't know my way around here... You seem to though, perhaps I could request a tour?" He asked. "If it isn't too much trouble, of course."

~Brenner~
Brenner moaned deeply, "What now, Rival?"
~Kala~
"Well of course my buddy Nina here can do just that! I really don't know around most of it myself... still trying to regain my memory and all..." She lowered her head with a sigh. "Damned organization."

"Oh, well um..." Nina glanced around, not expecting this. 'I get a bad vibe from this guy. Don't know why though.' She thought, nodding in response to the man's question. "Yes, I can show you around if you like. But may I ask your name? My name is Nina." The woman said, not giving out her last name.

~Silver Haired Man~
The man smiled kindly. "My apologies. My name is Tomas Branstein." He said. "And what about you, young lady?" He asked Kala, extending a hand.
Kala slowly reached out and accepted the hand, replying with a shake. "Uh..." She thought for a moment. 'Yeah, may as well go with the codename, just in case...'
"Zephyr." She smirked toward Nina, her eyes saying, 'Ha, see how clever I can be?'
The man blinked confusedly. "An odd name." He said. "What sort of parent would name their child that... But I digress... Hm, that name, Nina sounds familiar... Did you know that the princess here shares that name? My old friend mentioned that to me when recommending this place."
Kala shrugged, before answering his earlier question. "Sorry, I just don't like my real name."
"Oh?" Tomas said. "I'm sure a beauty such as yourself has a name that matches." He said. His tone was not flirty, but rather calm and courteous.
"...Kala." The woman sighed. 'How'd he...?'
"Hm, an indeed unique name!" Tomas said. "Well, I believe we have completed with the pleasantries, now then... After you youngsters."
"Well, Nina?" Kala inquired.
~Rival~
"Hm?" Rival said. "It's nothing."
"What is it. Can't keep EVERYTHING to yourself. I mean, you can at least make fun of me."
"I don't make fun." Rival sighed.
"Then, what is so important that you have to keep it to yourself?" Brenner groaned.
"It's probably nothing, just a crackpot theory." Rival said.
"Tell me your so called crackpot theory then."
"Why are you so interested in Zephyr?"
"I'm not. I'm more interested in what your theory is."
"Then my theory is baseless."
"Tch..." Brenner sighed. "Well, you like to hide a lot, don't you?"

~Nina~
"Alright, Tomas, Nina! Let's go in." Nina said, leading the two into the city gates. The city had regained control of the city, wrenching it out of the hands of chaos that appeared just a week ago. "Well... Um... I'm not very good at tours."
The woman said, scratching the back of her head as she lead the way. "Here we have the Royal Palace." She said, waving her arm dramatically, gesturing towards the large building situated about ten levels above the ground level on a high ledge. "The palace was the first thing made in the city of Kuiz, being carved out of the nearby rock. Legend says the sands inside of the rock dome where infested with tainted sand, possessed by demons. They say the Royal Family's ancestors fought off the demons and cleansed the area so a city could be built." She said, recalling the tales her mother told her.
