Cat and Mouse - Aerilon

[umslay]

Who: Ales [Open]
When: November 17
Where: Ales' Airship and Aerilon
Summary: Flying to Aerilon to search for the Black Moogle and looking around the city.
Warnings: None.

Good thing Ales was given permission to take one of the Airline's ships to search for the Black Mage Moogle, or else he'd waste so much time getting from one place to another. And taking other Heroes for the search would makes things go more quickly.

Ales spends several hours on the airship, keeping himself in the navigation room and only allowing Mimi inside to relay any messages one of the passengers wants to give him.

After that, he wandered the streets, greeting each member of the crowd that was closer to his size. The shops were filled with wonderful items, but nothing caught enough of his interest to pay for one of those expensive trinkets.

Fortunately, he found himself in front of O'aka XXIV's shop, eyeing one of the computers. He didn't have enough to buy one of those, but for now, looking at them made him feel a bit better.

"Well I haven't seen it among species but there are people who are born with that talent." Herself being one of those born with the ease to use magic.

She lightly taps her chin trying to think back. "There are some who don't use magic often like the Al Bhed but I think that is by choice more than ability."

[umslay]

"Really, then? So magic is also an ability that most can use, but some of your have greater potential for it?" It made no sense. How would one human be more attuned to magic than the others, with not accounting for species? "In my world, not everyone has the ability to use magic on their own, though they interact with it often, but some, like the fairies and Teensies, are more in tune with the flow of nature and its magic."

He crossed him arms. "Of course, that doesn't account into those that specifically study magic, which makes them more adept at using more complex and rigorous types of it, but that's more based off of their...own...skill." His normally fast mode of speaking was thrown away at the end there, and he went into deep thought.

Yuna listened carefully thinking on Ales's words. She didn't want to push him and she used his silence to gather her own thoughts. It sounded similar with very small differences.

She wondered about the magic in this world and how it worked. It had to have a direction to flow, magic was just energy and because of that it follows patterns.

Ales stood there, thinking over everything he heard. What determined whether an individual was extremely attuned to magic, or not to it at all? Would this mean that Crystallis worked similarly to Yuna's world? That with the right technology, they could be able to switch Jobs whenever they wanted?

He was lost in his thoughts for several minutes before realizing that Yuna was still there. "Sorry, this got me bit distracted. Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?"

[whereishe]

She shrugged with a smile. Yuna hadn't really planned to tell him anything but she was happy to have someone to talk to that seemed to understand her.

"Not really. I might take a look at the shop some more."

[umslay]

He smiled. "That's fine. I'll see if I can find the shop owner and try haggling with him on this computer."

"I might see about the gunner job. It was nice talking with you though." She smiled down at Ales.

"Thank you."

Yuna liked the conversation, it was easy. Far easier than any other encounter thus far.
