Areno grinned at Lavie's offer. It had been a while since he had been a bodyguard, so it would be interesting to get back into the swing of it. "You got it. We'll take about fees later, but just lemme get these contract details out of the way. I only protect you and 1 other person at a time, otherwise I can't guarantee client safety. There are few ther small minor details, but don't sweat it." Areno clapped his hands together and swung his arms to his sides as he watched Lavender examine the gun.

He had to be impressed with her extensive weapons encyclopedia stored in within the shelves of her brain. "My dear, that's not too shabby of an observation at all. But perhaps an non-ammo demonstration would clarify the rest of those accesories that you mentioned."

Areno gently took the assualt rifle out of Lavender's hands and took several paces back. "All the bullets that are fired are all just light, so don't worry, they'll disspearse on impact." Areno then turned to the fountain. His steely hazel eyes turned a light turquoise and he grinned, levelling the assault rifle at fountain and firing off several automatic, high velocity round from a machine gun barrel. The bullets hit the fountain and exploded into showers of light.

Sliding his left hand forward quickly while the trigger was stillbeing pulled by the right, Areno had slid his hand over the switch for the trigger lock and threw the gun up into the air causing it to keep firing as it spun in the air. Areno then began to perform several high-kicks to the head of his imaginary opponants, before deftly catching the gun and taking the trigger lock off in one fluid motion. At the same time, the machine-gun barrel slid backwards and a slightly longer one slid out.

Areno took a good grip before firing a longer, slightly larger bullet at a much higher velocity, towards the statue. It was probably an amour-piercing rifle shot. The barrel then withdrew and Areno flipped it so the end that barrel was at was no facing his chest and the end that was pressing against him was being pulled upwards. Like a Swiss-army knife, a long medium length blade flipped out. Areno began to the grab one of the two handgrips on either side of the gun.

After a brief swords dance, with his black longcoat having swirled this way and that, Areno dropped into a finishing stance, a little sweat having acumulated. Although Areno had said the coat had been for style and armouring only, the way he had moved with the blade had made use of the loss of vision the coat might cause Areno's opponent to experience. "Mk. III multi-purpose assault rifle, Griffin. Demonstration complete."

"You got it. We'll take about fees later, but just lemme get these contract details out of the way. I only protect you and 1 other person at a time, otherwise I can't guarantee client safety. There are few ther small minor details, but don't sweat it." Lavender nodded as Areno went over the contract details. Now they were talking business; and incidently, Areno seemed impressed as Lavender went over the gun details, the mercenary clapping his hands and swinging his hands to his sides. "My dear, that's not too shabby of an observation at all. But perhaps an non-ammo demonstration would clarify the rest of those accesories that you mentioned." He commented. A demonstration? Now that would be interesting.

"A non-ammo demonstration? Well, how'd you do that with an energy weapon though?" Lavender asked. Live rounds can be substituted with blanks or rubber bullets, but what of weapons that fired bolts of energy in place of hard ammunition? Lavender handed the rifle over as Areno took it gently from her hands, taking several steps back while Lavender watched with an expression of interest and curiosity.

"All the bullets that are fired are all just light, so don't worry, they'll disperse on impact." Lavender nodded at Areno's reassurance. Firing on a non-destructive, non-lethal setting? Well, that certainly made sense - seeing how her own wind-based attacks can also be regulated between levels going from being little more than a mild breeze, to high-velocity jets capable of piercing steel alloys and crumbling concrete. Lavender returned Areno's grin with an approving smile as she rested her left hand on her hip, Areno's hazel eyes turning into a hue of turquoise as he took aim at the fountain.

"Whoa..." Lavender watched in amazement as Areno fired a rapid burst of rounds at the fountain, the bullets exploding in a shower of light - it was like watching celebratory fireworks. That was quickly followed up by a dazzling gun-fu display (that would put any John Woo - and Woo wannabes - film to shame) by Areno was the mercenary threw the gun into the air, the trigger locked to keep it firing as it spun about, while he engaged imaginary opponents with a series of high kicks. As the gun made its descent, Areno deftly caught hold of it and as one swift practiced motion, disengaged the trigger lock. "Chow Yun Fatt's got nothing on that one!"

And then came the nifty additional features as the machine gun barrel retracted and a longer, wider one extended, firing what was probably an armor-piercing shot as the glowing round appeared larger and moved at a higher speed. Finally, Areno demonstrated the weapon's melee capability as a blade extended from the butt, entering a finishing stance after a brief demonstration of swordplay. "Mk. III multi-purpose assault rifle, Griffin. Demonstration complete."

"Well, that was marvelous!" Lavender applauded, the mercenary apparently worked up a bit of sweat from his display. "You know, if you ever got into the arms industry I bet your designs would put Mikhail Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner to shame!" And if Areno knew his firearms, Lavender was referring to the designers of the legendary assault rifles, the AK-47 and M-16 respectively.

Areno slowly let the Griffin dissolve back under his skin, before scratching the back of his head. “You know, you’re not the first one to tell me that and I’ve given some thought to it, but I’d only do it if I was on the verge of death and in need of the money.”

Areno then moved back towards Lavender and let his hat fall back around his neck. “Yah see, if everyone starts using one of my firearms like the Griffin, then I’d lose the industry, know what I mean?”

Areno sighed and took a seat down on the bench, “See, if I’m the only one who has this gun and ability, it makes me desirable and unique. Therefore, instead of getting regular fees, I’m a top-dollar mercenary.”

Areno looked and Lavender and pushed some hair out of her face, although his bland expression conveyed that he didn’t mean anything by, he was simply doing something she would have probably done herself, “You have any family Lavender?”

“You know, you’re not the first one to tell me that and I’ve given some thought to it, but I’d only do it if I was on the verge of death and in need of the money.” Areno replied, scratching his head after dissolving his Griffin assault rifle. Moving towards Lavender, the mercenary let his hat fall back onto his neck. “Yah see, if everyone starts using one of my firearms like the Griffin, then I’d lose the industry, know what I mean?” Lavender nodded at Areno's statement. The few and the proud - that's one thing people in the merc business often pride themselves in being. And for Lavender herself, this was also something she personally believed in; after all, how many aeromancers could claim to have trained as hard as herself? And even if they did, how many had the aptitude to reach the same level as herself?

“See, if I’m the only one who has this gun and ability, it makes me desirable and unique. Therefore, instead of getting regular fees, I’m a top-dollar mercenary.” Areno sighed as he sat down on a bench, with Lavender sitting next to him shortly after the mercenary settled in. “You have any family Lavender?” He asked after raising a hand to push a couple of stray bangs out of Lavender's face.

"I... wish I had," Lavender replied, her tone being more serious this time as she stared off into the distance. "For as long as I could remember, it has only been my father and myself." That being said, Lavender slouched forward a little, her hands clasped together and resting by their forearms against her lap.

Areno nodded, "Same for me, except it was my mother. I know she's not my real mother, but the love she gave me after each experiment I endured, each testing session and every harsh treatment from the scientists. That love, was real." Areno didn't want to go into the details of what had happened when he had escaped.

He'd never seen or heard from his mother again after that and when he gained worldy experience and learned the tricks of tracking down. He discovered, that she had never really exsisted. It was a fake name that she'd been using at the institute.

While Lavender slouched forward, Areno leaned back and let his arms extend on the edges of the back of the bench. Before he knew it, he was gritting his teeth and grimmacing. It had found him, and here he thought he was escaping it. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRED! Dammit I'ma gettin' board again! Why does this damn demon torment me so!" Areno ruffled his hair in frustration.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRED! Dammit I'ma gettin' board again! Why does this damn demon torment me so!" Lavender laughed slightly as Areno declared his boredom. He certainly looked pretty comical, with the way he ruffled his hair in frustration - it was such a far cry from his cool and businesslike demeanor when fighting the Heartless and showing off his combat skills.

"Say Areno, how well do you hold your liquor?" Lavender asked as she sat straight up. "Maybe a stiff drink or two might exorcise the demon of boredom?" the aeromancer suggested before standing up, looking to take Areno along on their quest to find somewhere to get a drink.

Areno suddenly perked up, "Well now there's an idea! I can either have fun getting drunk and then have fun being drunk, or I drink so much I pass out and drift into dreamland."

Which in Areno's head, was ALWAYS fun. "I don't see a down side to this." Areno stood up and and without asking for her permission, linked his arm with hers and started walking singing a drinking song in anticipation of what was to come.

"Oooooooooooooh~
You can drink by the keg~
You can drink a million flagons~
But the only brew for the brave and true~
Comes from a seedy tavern!"

Areno continued with the song, a big grin on his face, dancing this way and that and dragging Lavender along for the ride.
