Lee

"Yes, those plans." He would then look down to his arms as if to check and make sure that the armor was its normal fit as it was never a bad idea to check. He would pause and let his eyes shift upward to stare at Piera as she would aim to correct him again on the species of the familiar. "Sure, sure, whatever you think." As she would pick up the small boar, Lee would then nod his head "Yeah, we won't forget the most important one." It was then that Piera would throw in the fact that while they were out that they would aim to find him more formal and wedding like clothes. Lee would then take in a breath and nod in agreement "Yeah, I will concede on the fact this isn't the best marriage attire."

They would take their familiars and leave the mansion and out into the world of the third floor. As they made their way to the town, it would be in its usual hustle and bustle but they wouldn't care too much as they made a beeline for the warp gate and take it to the first floor. Lee's hand would be taken as his significant other would lead him toward a cathedral which he would assume would be the start of this little endeavor. As they were about to enter, a couple would hold the door open for them and Lee would nod his head in appreciation as they would enter the church.

They would come to be greeted by the NPC that would ask if they were aiming for a wedding to which Piera would answer and Lee would confirm. "Yeah, we wanna do that." Lee would listen as the Priest would speak about details such as location, food, rings and just who would wed them. Lee would then look to Piera "Hey, that sounds like your territory."

((OOC: sorry, I misjudged and thought it was someone else's turn to post.))

Lee would look to Vigilon as he spoke about a friend of his going through the same quest and it was a mixed bag of results when it came to the quest. Dazia would then chime in that gathering materials were an optional thing that could be done. Though, Lee wasn't sure if he would want to since there were other people and he wasn't really aiming to keep anyone lagging behind. Yinangi would add a direction they should head that might hold the creature they were looking for to which Lee would nod his head in agreement. Benjamin would throw out that if they did get into some sort of scuffle, that he would hang back and aim to do the support role if it was needed. As they began to walk down the path, Lee would reach back and take hold of his shield and equip it to his arm as per the usual as he would speak. "So, any affinity toward the raven or was it a spur of the moment pick?"

Lee would appreciate the fact that she did, in fact, accept the invite which was pleasing, to say the least. "Being happy is always something I'm aiming to do. One way or another." As she spoke about the idea of hanging out in the future, she would look forward to it, regardless of what it was they did and even brought up the fact that they could even try their hand at a quest to which Lee would ponder and then nod his head. "Those are all things that I'm sure I'll take you up on." It was then that she would bring up the idea that if he so desired, he could join a guild called the Holy Dragon Alliance and that he would be a shoe-in. "Yeah, I'm not too much for guilds though I never knock it till I know the full details. Maybe the next time we hang out, you can give me said details. But, till then, you keep safe." And with that, Lee would take his leave of the store and make his way through the cavern, admiring the jewels as he went, he didn't really look forward to the climb but it would be interesting hanging out with Hestia in the future.

Lee would burst out into a quick and sudden laughter at her inability to strike at her intended target. She would then go on to speak of how they had dug themselves into a metaphorical hole in which she wanted to know if they could get out of. Lee would raise his sword and raise it up yet again in order to bring it down onto the Ice Elemental and as it would connect, he would reply to the woman. "Hey, I at least want to finish this because running at this point would leave a nasty taste in my mouth. I mean, I am hitting it and I don't see why I am doing all the heavy lifting. You are just so insensitive." Lee would pull his sword back and then raise his shield as he would look to the other two Ice Elementals in wait for an attack from them.

"Hey, I have a lot of plans for this place. Perfect plans that will be the best plans that any couple could want for a house plan....plans." Lee would then turn his attention over toward the side of the bed where he heard the small boars tapping to which he would chuckle. Piera would then she would speak of the name calling he had done to which he would give a 'Pft' and wave her off. "Tiny. Pigeon." He would watch as she would rise and equip a new outfit to which he would shake his head at and as she would speak about brushing and deodorant he would turn and place his feet on the floor and pull himself up. He would equip his normal armor and stretch his arms upward as he would crack his fingers, each one twitching and jerking individually. "If there would be a reason, maybe. But there isn't, so no." His armor had become his typical attire and he only had two or three other outfits any they were for special occasions, though, he thought now that he might try and expand that wardrobe.

"Oh, you wanna hit it big and go full on idol. Big dreams, big dreams. Hey, I ain't judging." He would hold his hands up slightly as if to give no offense. "But everyone has to start somewhere, especially when it comes to whole 'singing' bit. I've only ever done that kinda thing with music still playing." She would continue to speak about how she was about to choose the alchemist job class but someone decided to aim her in the direction that they felt she would better enjoy. Lee would then shrug his shoulders as he would then comment on her speaking about doing something that made him happy. "Well, I never really wanted much and as for a job, I already knew it was going to be just a side thing. I'm just happy doing...well, whatever comes to mind. Like walking around with a newly found acquaintance on a sightseeing adventure." He would then take a breath and look around "Speaking of which, I think that I need to be headin out. Maybe sometime I can take you on a tour...or something, not too wise on many locations. Maybe you could come to my house." Lee would open a menu and send a friend request to Hestia.

Lee has Sent a Friend Request to Hestia

An arm would shift ever so slightly over Lee's face, it would move just enough to keep the majority of any light from reaching his eyes as it rested on them. His other arm resting under the brunette that slept with him. He would let his mouth gaped open as it would slowly grow into a yawn as he only wished he was still unconscious. He thought about turning over onto his side but with her in her current position, it wasn't really something that could be done. It wasn't until he heard the female say something about marriage to which he would pause and think about it. She would continue with it not being something done on that day but get things together. "I mean, sure. It would make things a lot easier in terms of, well, everything. Might be able to build more onto the house and I mean, it isn't like we aren't already that way in everything but officially." Babette would kick around furiously upon waking and would jump to her feet, looking around and finding the culprit of her awaking disappearing onto the top of the bed. She would then begin to scatter around on the floor at the edge of the bed to which Lee would remove his arm and look around. "Oh yeah, sure, speak for the flying pigmy bird. That is totally the winning argument here." Lee would then pull himself up, the arm under Piera coming with him as he used his hands to rub his eyes free of the sleep as he would continue "So, what all does that entail?"

Lee would turn around and walk over to the doorway and rest his shoulder against it as the small boar was still tucked away on his back, seemingly resting now. He would listen to the familiar sound of the music and keep himself silent for a moment after she spoke of turning the bad things into good ones. He would then nod his head in agreement and as she spoke of actually wishing to be able to perform for people, Lee would raise his hands out as if to present some unseen object. "Well, a game is the best place to do that, especially one that compliments the ability for you. Added to that..." He would then let his arms cross once more "And I'm sure that plenty of people are more than happy with buffs coming from said songs. It is a win-win." He would chuckle a bit and continue "I mean, at least you got something going for you. I only have a job class because I was bored. No real passion....hehehe, passion, like the name of the store."

Lee would do a small little arm pump as he was correct in the now obvious assumption and would then chuckle. "Well, I was bound to get it eventually. Was aiming at a three strike system so I'm content with hitting on the third." As Hestia would ask him about his tour of the fourth floor, he would look around the room with his hands on his hips and speak "Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. I've had my issues with the floor and had a negative attitude toward it. Though, I'm not all that against it anymore. Things have changed and it isn't as horrible as it was in my head. Thank ya for that little tidbit." He would look to Kuro who seemed completely at home in the shop. Lee would then look back to Hestia and the songs she had recorded. "Not going to lie though, didn't really peg you for the musical type."

Lee would snap his fingers in a downward motion as his guess once again missed its mark. He thought for sure that he had guessed it correctly that time but it, again, was incorrect. He would follow suit and would come into what looked to be the actual shop area itself. It held plenty of places to sit and for the most part, broke away from the rather organic exterior of rock and gems. He was welcomed to the shop and he would answer in kind. "It is very nice. The outside really is a pleasant trip and I was wondering if the inside was going to be all stone age or not." He would look around for more clues and he would find another in the form of a guitar that she would pick up and begin to stum. He would raise an eyebrow and point toward her "Performer?"

The armored player would continue his walk throughout the first floor, the Town of New Beginnings was the usual walking grounds when it came to the first floor. It usually held all sorts of players, both new and old. New because they had little choice in the matter and not so new due to either boredom or aim to aid other players. Lee was more into just finding new players for the sake of conversation and in that regard, it was a bit...odd. It was a simple enough thing, most new players had an air about them, either they were still confused or they just wanted to do something, be it help or freak out. The ones that freaked tended to be interesting enough but the overall wasn't the best though they would usually calm down in some regard. It was during this pondering that he was more lost in thought and only broke out of it just before running into another player. He quickly locked his legs and forced himself into a stiff position as he looked to a golden eyed female. "Whoa, my bad."

Lee would nod his head in agreement as she spoke of simply enjoying the view itself every time she had to come to her shop. "That...is a legit and reasonable reason." As they walked into the cavern, the number of crystals along the wall coming in different shapes and sizes. The segment they were walking finally came to an end, they were left to a room with a huge crystal illuminating it. More stones lined along the wall gave further light to the room which brought his eyes to a sign that read Crystallized Passion. It would inquire him to speak at this point "If it isn't jewelry, which by all accounts I really thought it might be, is it potions?" He would continue to look around as if the answer to the riddle were to lay somewhere in the air. He even thought of the name of the store and wondered if it did have anything to do with her profession.

Lee was pleasantly pleased as Hestia agreed with the small game he had brought about. It wasn't like it anything was on the line but that didn't mean they couldn't enjoy small little things that come to mind. As they made their way through the town, it took a little bit to get toward the area of the shop but they shot the breeze as they walked through most of it was simply watching what their familiars had gotten themselves into. It wasn't until they reached a cliffside and as he looked around to see a building, Hestia began to descend and after taking a moment to understand that is where she was heading, Lee would scoop Babette and place him in between his back and his shield. He would then make his own way down the cliff side and speak. "Well, I'm going to have to admit, this was not anywhere near what I was thinking. Do all shop owners have shops in off places or do you like the break the mold?" As they reached the ground, they stood in front of a cave which sparkled and Hestia spoke of going inside to which he would follow her. "Jewelry?"

Lee looked at the other players as each seemed to point toward the area of which this creature laid. It was then that he thought he had all the names of the players either by their own admission or from picking up their name from the ongoing conversation. The armored player would simply wait for things to progress from Dazia pace. He would take a minute prior in order to think and he would throw a question out to be answered. "So, do you know if this is going to involve fighting or is this more of an overall search and retrieve type deal? I'm okay with either or but it would also help to be prepared for shield bashing if we should be looking for....other things? Materials possibly?" He would lean forward to place the small boar in his arm onto the ground and he would reach around to take the shield off his back and lock it onto the back of his arm as he awaited an answer.

Lee would listen to the woman as she would be rather straight forward of her willingness to live to which Lee would raise a brow and raise his hands "Hey, I ain't here to shank anyone so you're good. Names Lee, nice to meet you Dazia the survivor. Nice to meet you and..." He would glance to the other players and wave haphazardly to them in a greeting and would then listen as Dazia would talk about looking for a raven of sorts. "Ooooo." He would nod his head as she continued to speak of just what the creature could or should do and he would chime in after the brown haired player would ask about where they might find one. "Well, that and getting your hands on something that can do all of that sounds...interestingly difficult. Cool." He would look down to his own familiar and scratch the top of its head and then continued "As it was said, let's hope to it."

Lee would nod in understanding as most places tended to only get snow during those special times of the year. "I hear ya, I hear ya. Great times all round when the snow starts to fall." As they continued to walk, she would bring up the question of what to do next with their time and gave three things to do. They could either head to another shop and get themselves something warm to drink. They could go to her own shop and see just what it was that she was about and lastly, they could try and find something else to preoccupy their time with. Lee thought for just a moment before commenting "I wouldn't mind in the slightest to see just what your place of work looks like. I don't visit too many places so it would be interesting to see someone elses shop for a change." He would then quickly add "Oh, and don't tell me what you do, I wanna try and guess and see if it is blatantly obvious when we get there or if it is a real challenge in terms of the guessing game."

Lee would be quite pleased that he wasn't the only one enjoying the small outing they were having. He would take his delicious treat with him to finish what little remained as they left the establishment. They traveled just a bit away toward the middle of the town to an area that held a mass of snow covered trees and ice sculptures abound. There were so many and with that, so many different ones. He took note more of the monster rather than that of the persons of interest that were made.

The odds and ends of the monsters themselves just caused his eyes to stay just a little bit longer than normal. Lee was actually pretty intrigued at if these ice sculptures were either something built into the game or was there an event or skill that would allow one to make one of these things. It was then that Lee would turn his attentions to Kuro and soon after, Babette as they began to jump through the snow, Lee chuckling as he noticed the small walls that were surely used to protect their builders from incoming enemy snowballs which prompted Lee to chime in a question. "Hey, you have any snow where you live? In the real world, I mean."

Lee would take a a pause from his wandering to look down at his familiar, a small boar that roamed at his side. He would crouch down and rub the bottom of the chin on the tiny creature. He would then, with his free hand, open up his menu and haphazardly flick through the options, not really aiming for anything in particular. He would let out a sigh as he would close the menu and stroke his chin in though though it wasn't too long before he heard the on goings of two female players. They were approached by a non-playable character and it would seem that it was the one for the familiar quest. An eyebrow would raise as he would look up at the night sky and then back to the two. He would pull himself up and nudge his small creature as if to tell her to come along as he made his way over to the two with a hand raised in greeting "Howdy, you got any idea what you might be looking for?"

Lee listened as Hestia ordered a simple chocolate with little else to which he would nod mostly to himself "Ain't nothin wrong with simplicity. Less is more, as they say." Only a few moments would come to pass as their treats would be brought to them in which Hestia began to eat away at hers while Lee would look his over with a smile. The owner would ask if it was enough to which Lee would respond "Oh, this is plenty enough, thank ya kindly." Lee then began to take small enough bites so as not to shift too much weight in order to keep the ice cream stable enough so that he wouldn't have to watch it all go crashing to the floor.

Thinking of such a thing was nightmareish and quickly escaped his mind as Hestia mentioned if he was ready to roll out to which he would nod as he took another bite from the iced cream and simply give a 'mhm'. He would look to Kuro as it seemed to have been scolded by the shopkeeper and Babette whom would follow Kuro around, following in almost the exact footsteps to which Lee would then continue once he had gotten his mouth from from its treat "Yes, let us find more adventure!"

An armored player would make his way through the Town of Beginnings as he had done many times before. Today was actually fairly well received from the usual as the specific day caused him to feel just a bit more enthusiastic. He tended to enjoy the day of valentines and it showed for the most part. He figured that before the festivities that he would enjoy with his significant other, he would see just what sorts of things he could get for himself in the town or see if there were any mopey individuals that could aim for a cheering up. The day always had its hits and misses and the misses were very noticeable in their... opposing of the day and he enjoyed the trying to change that, for better or worse that is. As he was heading through the town, he would see that occasional lonesome soul wondered around but thus far, no real outcry. Though, he did take note of a brown haired player that seemed, a little less enthused about things and figured he'd be the best current target. "Yo."

Lee would let out a 'pft' and wave Piera away lightly at the comment of their age to which he would respond "You are shooting way to hard on the whole age thing. Like, for real, chillax." As she would them comment on the candy he way, he would chuckle "Oh yeah, I'd be like, air heads or a honey bun." It was then that the sounds of a piano would come to their ears to which Piera would take the initiative and Lee would follow suit and take the woman's hand and bow to her "It would be an honor milady." He would then let his posture straighten as he would pull her close, hand on her hip as he would begin to lip sync along with the words of the music, his head bobbing along with the words. He would simply begin to move slowly from one side to another, aiming to guide her along.

<~Song~>

Lee would let himself be lead toward another set of punch that wasn't around the one they have broken away from. He would chuckle at the statement of a spiked punch to which he would agree "Yeah, though I am sure that if someone did, there would be a whole mess of trouble and an even bigger mess of drunk people throwing themselves around." He would continue to look out over the party, not really picking on any one in particular and his mind would go blank in the process. That was until Piera would chime in with her I love you and a smile would creek onto his face as he would nudge her with his elbow ever so slightly and reply in kind "Love you too honey." He would then straighten out his already straightened jacket and lift his head "Da*n right, snazzy as all hell." He would then look Piera up and down and tilted his head. "And you look mighty fine yourself so I guess it wouldn't be so bad to be seen together officially for the time being."

@Piera

Lee would follow suit after Hestia as she would speak of it being a player based shop and as they entered, they were greeted by none other than Galadriel. Lee would begin to look around as Galadriel would speak about a Itzal person to whom Lee would assume it to be Hestia's significant other or a friend that she ate ice cream with on the regular. Though, from the way that Galadriel spoke, this Itzal was quite the demon of deliciousness. The shop keep would then bring her attention to Lee and as he was dubbed handsome, he would raise a hand to his chin and stroke it coyly "Thank ya kindly. I'll have chocolate. Simple and as many different versions of chocolate as I can get." Lee would then cross his arms across his chest and then think a bit more about it. Just how many different kinds of chocolate could one put onto their ice cream? The ice cream itself, sprinkles, cream and he felt as though there would have to be something else to splash into the mix.

Lee would chuckle as Shield spoke of simply shutting himself off on higher floors which seemed to be much more productive than playing ring around the rosy by yourself. "Hey, work and being a holic works fairly well." He would chuckle as Piera would give him a kiss to which he would happily oblige too. "I am the highest form of personification of the holiday." Then they were approached by another player or more so, Shield was. Lee couldn't help but chuckle as Shield's slip of words but it seemed all in fun. Lee would then turn his attention over to Piera once more as she asked if there was anyone else at the event he would like to see to which he would shrug "I've been cooped up for so long, I'm not entirely sure who is still around or even if they came."

OOC: sorry for the short post, not feeling a 100%

Lee would listen as Hestia as she would seemingly find enjoyable about his musings but would make it known that she was in a relationship. Lee would raise a hand and shake his head "While that isn't surprising, you've got nothing to worry about on that front. I'm happily taken as well. Oh, we could totally group quest in the future!"  Lee would snap his fingers toward the last sentence as if he had thought of a grand idea. He would then look toward the building that they had arrived at that went by the name Galadriel which would cause him to inquire "Is this a NPC shop or do you know a 'Galadriel'?"

The small boar would continue to leap around but would seemingly freeze as it dodged a paw only to be tagged by a wing tip. Babette would quickly shift her body to turn toward each of Kuro's legs, taking note of each of them. Knowing it wasn't a leg, she would bounce up and try and tag the wing that patted her on the head.
