Jaeha's expression was flat as he listened to the Moogle's explanation. His arms were folded, and it was clear that any interest he might have had fled the coop long ago. He'd already committed himself to being one girl's hero, now he was expected to do it again? Yona, at least, hadn't tried to force him into it. This place had. He hid his resentment behind a lazy smile as the tiny creature finished her explanation.
"Nothing comes to mind," he smiled, tucking his hands into his pockets and bending slightly at the waist as if to better study her.
Kulana's face lit up as she clasped her paws together. "Then you'll help?!"
"Sorry," he tossed his head with an arrogant smile and bent at the knees. "Not interested." He prepared to spring away with his majestic dragon's leg strength, which allowed him to bound away with the greatest of ease. Or at least, that's what he thought he was going to do. Instead? He hopped. A long, awkward silence stretched between Jaeha and the Moogle as both stared at each other with hollow smiles.
Kulana frowned first. "What were you trying to do?"
"Nothing significant," he lied, scratching at his ear as he looked away.
"...Were you trying to fly away just now?"
"I wonder." Both "Hero" and Moogle stared at one another for a long moment. Then Jaeha sprinted down the street.
Startled, Kulana frantically waved her arms at him. "K-kupo! You can't run away from this!!"
And yet, that seemed to be exactly what he was doing. Welp, so long, Jaeha.

2. Best Roommate (C-03)
Jaeha lived in house C-03 for approximately six minutes. He walked up the steps, unlocked the door, and went inside to collect the stipend that was supposedly being held in his name. Then he left. It was the shortest prompt ever.

3. City Exploration (Sort Of)
Airships, or ocean ships? Jaeha couldn't decide. On the one hand, seagoing vessels were what he was accustomed to using for travel, and it seemed there was always a ship for hire. He knew his way around the deck, and could easily exchange work for a place aboard as one of the crew.
On the other hand, he'd never been on an airship before, and Jaeha was absolutely not afraid of heights. Passage was also completely free, so that was a bonus. On the downside, travel was a bit more limited. The only vessel due to depart today was the ship heading to Esdham. He'd asked what kind of city it was, interested in the possibility...until the deckhand informed him that it was more of a military fort than a city. Not really Jaeha's ideal place to be.
So, either he could wait around town for the next ship heading to Balicea, wait even longer for the ship heading out to Mysidia, or take off now and sail the seas.
Perched on one of the wooden dock pillars, a sack of personal belongings slung over his shoulder, he was inclined to take the ocean route. The smell of the ocean, at least, was familiar to him, and breathing in the salted air eased some of the tension coiled in his gut. Outwardly, he seemed carefree and relaxed, wearing a lazy smile, absently threading his fingers through the ends of his long green ponytail as he watched the deckhands load their cargo. Inwardly, he was annoyed and a little on the anxious side. There were people waiting for his return, and there was no way to reach them any longer.
Jaeha exhaled lightly, dropping his hand to rest upon his knee. Well, one thing was clear: he wasn't going to stick around in the city responsible for his abduction. He needed to leave, and sooner was better than later. The ocean it is.
[OOC: Brackets are okay if you'd rather not do prose. He can also be found at the market prior to heading over to the docks if you'd rather run into him there.]
