Monster hunting

[free_spirited_wind]

Characters: Bartz Klauser and OPEN
Where: Calm Plains
When: February 3rd-7th
Summary: Monster catching silliness
Warnings: none

{The monster arena sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun, so Bartz is excited to contribute. Over the next week, he can be found on the calm plains, monster catching equipment in hand. He set off to do this on his own, but he'd certainly welcome any help people wanted to give. Feel free to run into him wandering around, or even join him against...}

[A Buer perhaps? Actually it looks like he's got this one well in hand. The creature is angrily flapping around him, firing it's confusion beam, but can't seem to land a hit.

A few days later, he can be found fighting a Mandragora. Actually, it looks like he could use a hand against this one. It's horrible scream seems to be really throwing him off.

And someone should definitely warn him about that dancing frog he's looking at. There's no way he should be taking on a Touch Me solo at his level. Although it's entirely possible he just plans on watching a dancing amphibian because he's bored.

Or maybe you just want to congratulate him on capturing a Geezard? Or not. Because let's be real, anyone could catch one of those things. At any rate, he's caught one and is dragging it back to the monster arena.]

Bartz smiles at Terra and offers a hand to help her up.

"That was pretty weird, huh? Those frogs are some tough opponents."

Kuposthenes is having none of that.

'Only for fools, kupo, who wander about unprepared and unawares.'

Bartz does at least look slightly chagrined.

"Aw, cut me a break will you? Everything worked out okay. And anyway, it wasn't all bad. Hopping around like that was kinda fun. Right, Terra?"

Terra took his hand and let him pull her to her feet. It was weird and while she didn't much care for being a frog, she had fun. Bartz made it very easy for her to smile.

"Yes. I had fun." She flushed slightly without realizing the added warmth in her cheeks.

"Let's not do it again though, kupo." Tempest rushed to Terra's side hugging her hero while burying her face into Terra's side. Terra smiled down at Tempest gently wrapping an arm around the moogle.

"I won't. I'm sorry I worried you." She looked back up at Bartz. "Thank you Bartz."

[free_spirited_wind]

Bartz blushes and gives an embarrassed laugh. Considering that this whole thing probably was his fault makes gratitude unexpected.

“I dunno why you'd want to thank me, but I'm glad you had fun.”

He likes seeing her smile. She should do it more. But, with a glance at Tempest he quickly adds..

“Uh, next time though, we'll have to find a safer way to have fun. Or at least remember to bring potions.”

[greenmagick]

Tempest looked over a Bartz with an approving smile. She was going to make sure to have potions on her at ALL times thanks to this adventure. She gently pulled at Terra's arm signalling their time to go.

Terra's smile was light but it stayed in place as she spoke. "I think it's time for me to go." She glanced towards tempest before looking back at Bartz.

"I'll see you again?"

[free_spirited_wind]

"Of course!"

That's something that shouldn't even be a question. They're friends after all. And he promised he'd look after her.

"Anytime you need me for anything, I'll be right there!"

Bartz complements that line with a thumbs up and a wink. He may be trying to look cool.... An effect which he immediately ruins by adding...

"Um, but if you just want to hang out sometime, that's fine too."

[greenmagick]

"I would like that." Terra smiled before being pulled away by Tempest.

She waved lightly before walking towards her home.

Bartz returns her wave with a cheerful one of his own as he watches her go, then he turns to Boko jr. and they head for home as well.
