ARE YOUR MUSCLES MADE OF WATER OR IS THAT ECTO? IT LOOKS LIKE RIPPLED WATER... RIPPED. HAHA.

IT IS ECTOPLASM. THAT IS JUST HOW IT TENDS TO PATTERN ITSELF WHEN IT IS FORMED. I SUPPOSE IT DOES MAKE SOME SENSE.

First Impressions: Trachynswerd

A demon, one could say as their gaze met the vague silhouette in the distance. Tall as few were, too slender for a Roegadyn, and yet clearly all too savage for the civilized Elezen, challenging the peiste viciously. 

The horns, Silent Sea realized after coming a few steps closer, were no adorned helmet. Much like the tail that whipped about in the same manner of a cornered viper, those were natural – and at that, it dawned on her. It was a demon indeed, or so the folk would speak of those who came from the Far East, whispers taking over Saphire Avenue and the alleyways of Ul'dah.

Arms folded as she observed the fight – a mere spectator for a change –, she tried to remember the name of that people, but even as it seemed to dance on the tip of her tongue, it was gone the moment she tried to grasp it. It was curious to see, though, how gossip evolved and details were added to the point the tale would bear no resemblance to the original story. Judging by the sword and shield he wielded, that man was certainly with the gladiators; hardly a threat to the commonfolk.

His skills, however, were remarkable – better yet, how he poured his very soul in killing. It was clear in the way he moved, in every shout and roar before the blows. He was no slayer, he sought no glory in fight. It was a matter of survival. That much she knew, for that was how she had lived so far. The way of the Lohengarde. 

It was the first time Silent Sea thought of her people in days. 

Although she wouldn't move, her heart followed the pace of that battle, as if she were part of it. It was clear he needed no assistance, though, and thus she allowed herself to observe, reading the swift and yet powerful moves of both opponents. He was certainly no demon, the scaleface, but there was a reptilian quality to his ways, even as he swayed the very same sword she had seen so many Hyuran fighters holding, hitting the beast with the shield just as they would do. No, that one was something else – and not for the horns and the tail and the scales that would give rise to all sorts of rumors back in town.

He was something else, she understood as he dropped arms, lunging towards the peiste in order to kill it with his bare hands. Just as she herself was.

Found another thing to start unfollowing people for.

(Hint: It's the people who don't tag their posts; specifically for the things I hate... And that's a lot of stuff.)

OH MY GOD SHENZI. I'm sorry, I totally didn't know what to get you for your baby shower. I'm not a very good shopper, let alone for a hyena baby! How about you give me a list of things I could get and maybe I'll bring a few by in a week or two? Is that okay? ((MY DRP CHARACTERS ARE ON HIATUS.))

... It's okay.... I think it can have –

ANYTHING BUT –

Shut it, I was adressed. Anything but ... playsuits or somthang, I mean, are they useful for a baby hyena?! NO!

"Ban'? Ban'! Banzai! Banzai! Where're ya?"

His head popped our of the baby's den. "Huh? What is it?"

"What're ya doin' in there?" Shenzi raised an eyebrow sceptically.

Ed's head appeared next to his friend's. He blabbered something.

"Yeah, we're ... tidyin' the room for the lil' one."

... That didn't sound good. Shenzi pushed her friends to the side – and gaped. They really tidied up the room. Made it all nice. The few plushies they already had were arranged around the soft pillowbed which would be the baby's bed.

Gods. Shenzi almost teared up. Almost. Aw man. She didn't want it anymore. Why were her eyes still that wet?

"It ... that was so cute a' ya", she whispered. Then, she squared her shoulders and grinned at Banzai, handing him the printout.

"... What's that supposed ta be?" Banzai did a 90 with the image.

"... That's our baby."

Ed shook his head and stared at the printout. Noo. Never in life was this a baby.

Banzai thought the same thing. "That's our babe!?", he sneered.

"Yeah. ... An image."

"An image of tha kid! – Sure." Banzai tapped his forehead at her. "That's an image of a cloud."

"Idiot." Shenzi took the printout and held it in front of his eyes. "Ya see that?" She pointed at ... something. "That dark spot is tha heart. And here's the head. And ... its hindlegs, forelegs ... everythang's there, it's healthy."

"..." Banzai teared the photo away from Shenzi and stared at it. "Wow ...", he mumbled. "It looks like me." And it didn't sound like he was joking.

Shenzi rolled her eyes, took the image and pressed it onto her belly. "Yep. Ya see? Fits almost perfectly."

"Uhuh ..."

Ed looked at Banzai who turned his head away – and grinned. He snickered something.

"Ban' ..." Shenzi approached him and hugged him from behind. "Aw, Banny, ya're not cryin', aren't ya?"

"Naah." He was. She could hear it.

"Ban', ya don't have ta be ashamed ... It's too cute, hon."

But Banzai didn't really want to be cute. Another 'but'. He saw his baby-cloud-thing for the first time. And that was just amazing.

PETITION FOR NAMING MY CHILD

Okay, my surname's not Potter and I dunno if I'm having a son who I could name Harry ... I'm not having him (or her) anyway, my girlfriend does, BUT ...

We ... well, struggle in finding a name. I have a great idea; at least I think it's a great name, Shenzi doesn't.

THIS IS A PETITION FOR NAMING OUR KID 'NORPF' The cool thing is that it's a neutral name so we have a name for both genders.

IF YOU AGREE WITH ME ... SIGN THIS THING HERE OR SOMETHING Then I'll show it Shenzi and maybe we can persuade her in naming the child NORPF

LETTER

Dear ... dad, ... I miss you. Banzai

I won't write anything here 'cause, well ... As compared with Ban's six-letters-thing, it's nothing. It was just six letters, but ... I dunno, I just can't do it. It'd look ... silly, 'kay?! *hangs her head*

Shenz' ... *inches to her and snuggles up to her*
