Final Fantasy: Spiral Immortal (The Journey Begins)

Um. Ierie's a boy. Yeah. ^^;

=~*Ierie Nush*~=

We were so hungry, we quickly snatched the nearest bowl and began shoveling soup into our mouth. Very soon, we were licking the last bits of broth from our paws. Once we were sure we were clean, we picked the bowl back up and held it out.

"More please ^^" we chirped. When no response came, we looked around to see Cain in conversation with Shino and Kiwi. Grumbling slightly to ourself, we shuffled forward to the pot and poured ourself some more before plopping back down on the ground. We ate more slowly this time, contenting ourself to watch the others talking as we sipped at our soup.

Sorry for shortness, just wanted to get something in this morning cuz I might be going somewhere tonight.

Having nothing but pancakes for breakfast the whole day can do things to your senses, like sharpening them considerably, and making you very, very alert to anything food-related that's going on in the background. The whole time that Ierie was stirring the stuff in the big, friendly-smelling pot, Shino had been unconsciously following the movements of his paws clutching the ladle back and forth with her nose. She sighed every once in a while.

Food! A scent of fish, a hint of cardamom, and some indiscernable vegetable aroma. Shino purred.

Tree-tag was good, but food was better. Shino attacked the bowl she had been given with more than usual enthusiasm. Noises coming from her were those that were more generally associated with the cheap kind of plumbing system. The stew did not last two minutes in the face of a hungry Nush.

She helped herself to more, monopolizing the ladle for longer than was polite, and once her appetite allowed her to become more civilized in manners, sat up properly on her haunches and waved to Cain. She had been completely oblivious to Happenings on the wagon since she'd spent most of the afternoon playing tree-tag with Ierie. Time to catch up.

She sidled up to Cain and Kiwi, and dropped a rather impudent conversation opener: "Kiwi says you're a girly man. Is that true?"

Cain gave his chocobo a sidelong glance of suspicion. Kiwi had the decency to look slightly guilty. "It depends on your sense of humour. Apparently Shinryu and Rulke have bad ones."

Shino nodded seriously. "They don't seem the sort of people to have good ones," she said reflectively. "That's good to know, or Lex would be asking us why we likes to make friends with girly men, and we'd have some problems explaining friendship to him."

Behind her, Ierie burped and said something, but being ignored by the participants of the 'girly man' interrogation, grumbled and went to get more food by himself.

Shinokiri pressed further. "Where'd you find these funny people with a bad sense of humour, anyway?"
