Welcome to Gaia! ::

The melody resolved in a few seconds, and the bard lowered his blessing. He crouched beside Vivi's sleeping form with a grave expression that made him more delicate somehow. "He'll be alright when he wakes up... if we can get alla this sorted out beforehand." Sparrow's gaze settled on Kuja's back, single blue eye demanding answers silently. Rarely did the boy act unless it was to protect someone, and this was no exception. "I know I'm no one special compared to you guys but could someone please tell me what's going on?" He was being unusually calm and polite.

Sparrow locked up a little when Kuja took a few steps toward his charge. Since when had he decided to protect the mage? Probably since... well, their first meeting, now that he thought about it. It was just a chance thing, Sparrow venturing back to his hometown only to find that there was nothing there for him, and then seeing someone getting picked on...

And now he crouched beside Vivi on the field, apparently witness to the former antagonist of the world. He nodded to the words, but when that silver apparition lay his eyes on Sparrow, the young bard stared right back. It was the gaze of someone tempered by independence. That war Kuja had a hand in caused Lindblum's near destruction, and the reconstruction was what had killed his father and ultimately propelled his entrance into adolescence. Sparrow's was the look of someone who carried a most painful secret, and was aged beyond his years because of it.

He jerked his eyes away suddenly and looked at Rakurai instead. "Of course!" He felt his chin lift. "I can play pretty much anything!"

Marcus peaked from behind a rock "How did you put him to sleep? I thought while in trance, they became immune to petty tricks like that?" he walked over "Anyway, I also fought that bird's cousin, or whatever you might call it and it was insane, there was'nt an ounce of control in his eyes, he also loked like he'd gone through a train wreak... Twice, all he could say was kill... He was rather weak when I fought him though, even the tin can took him out with ease." He looked towards Vivi "I really never heard the story behind it... The poor kid lost alot of his people, bu honestly is that worth killing everyone Vivi... I say we silence him while he's out to make sure he dont pull that stunt we he comes too... At least that'll give us time to maybe talk some sense into him... Y'know make him come to terms with his bird mage racisim..." Marcus smirked a bit, his single razor sharp tooth glinting in the light.

"You wouldn't make that good a dessert, dessert's supposed to be sweet. Maybe a starter, some Tapas or something."

Well, that was Blank's contribution to the conversation. He walked over to Vivi and knelt down beside him.

"Maybe I should take him to the Inn and keep an eye on him there. Whatcha think Marcus?"

Marcus nodded to Blank, "Good idea..." he said motioning to pick up the mage in his long arms.

Blank waved his hand dismissively at Kuja and Rakurai. Zidane's young charge was much more important to the ex-Tantalus member than previous enemies. He allowed Marcus room to pick up the young mage and accompanied his fellow thief to the inn.

"Wonder if they'll charge us, you know, 'cause we're not actually staying the night, just waiting for Vivi to come to. Hopefully without calling an apocalypse upon our sorry asses."

Marcus blinked "I thought you where taking your leave? And is it really all that smart to keep the little guy around the Birdmage?"
