[In a forest clearing, roughly an hour's walk from the village's edge, one can find Yuan. After a conversation with Guy, he realized he really doesn't know all that much about Luceti's magic, which is why he's started a small experiment; Can Filial magic be combined with magic spells from back home to improve its power? He's hoping that with the

[Y hello thar. Do notice a Moogle curiously watching you casting magic.]

What are you doing, kupo?

[fortunefail]

[Yuan turns to glance at Hurdy, wondering just what the heck kind of animal that is. Until he sees the Filial wings, anyway. Those Malnosso choose some strange creatures to be residents, from time to time.]

... Practicing.

[kuposongs]

[Indeed they do my friend. Indeed they do...]

Kupo-po, I see, kupo!

[fortunefail]

[Now he can't help but think Hurdy looks like a clothed Bushbaby with a pompom attached to its head, or something. He can't stop himself from asking.]

Just what kind of race are you, anyway?

*When Ken came out to set up his and Taichi's soccer field, he didn't expect to see massive calling of ligtning bolts, so he headed over. This would explain why he's holding two large nets as he stands there to watch the most recent Indignation.*

[fortunefail]

[After the most recent spell, Yuan lowers his weapons, breathing heavily. He's just considering taking an actual break when he notices Ken standing nearby.]

What?

[... Oh, that came out sounding harsher than he intended. Definitely going to need that break now.]

[whiporkindness]

*Oops, now he thinks Yuan's mad at him.* Nothing. I just wanted to know what was going on.

[fortunefail]

[Steady breaths, Yuan. And no more glaring.]

I'm practicing.

[fortunefail]

[The fact that it's impressive is because it's being cast by a mighty Seraph and has absolutely nothing to do with Tales of Legendia's poor graphics. ... Obviously.]

[fortunefail]

[He's going to take a break now, actually. But he won't stop experimenting until he sees results. He lowers his weapon and is just about to reach into his pocket for an orange gel when he sees Senel standing nearby. Of course, Yuan recognises him as the lucky bastard who did get to marry his would-be dead fiancée here.]

[Jade enters the clearing. He was off in a wide open field some ways off, trying to make contract with Hyt. But with so much noise, it's really quite difficult to do. After hearing several castings of Indignation, he decided it was time to investigate.]

Must you make so much noise? Some of us are trying to study.

[fortunefail]

[Yuan doesn't know who you are, but he definitely doesn't approve of that attitude. His eyes narrow slightly.]

Then go study elsewhere. I'm sure you've noticed the forest is big enough.

[necromance_this]

Ahh, but that's the thing. I was studying elsewhere. I was in a clearing a good distance from here, trying to contract a spirit. However, it's rather hard to ignore your loud thunder strikes.

[fortunefail]

[He'd argue that the strikes weren't even as loud as they're supposed to be, but then he'd just be digging his own grave.]

Then you'll just have to go even further away, won't you?

[action]

[nottanzanite]

You should take a break, Yuan.

[Thanks to some spywork, he figured you'd be out driving yourself into the ground today. So! He's come out with some drinks and snacks so you don't kill yourself practicing... The walk sucked since is ankles still a bit tender, but he's gone farther for less valiant reasons.]

[action]

[fortunefail]

[Wait. Zoisite is bringing him snacks. Zoisite is bringing him snacks. This is nothing short of peculiar.]

I already took a break ten minutes ago. I can't afford to slack off.

[Though he has to admit, a drink sounds pretty good right about now.]

[action]

[nottanzanite]

[This isn't any sort of plot to gain your trust so you'll look the other way when he starts to stalk the scouts. Nope, not at all. But look, there's a variety of snacks!]

We're not exactly short on free time here, Yuan... and I can't really carry you if you pass out.

[action]

[fortunefail]

... Fine.

[He approaches the drinks and large variety of snacks. First, let's put that enormous weapon down...]
