Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jon hadn't thought about that. What was he going to do today. Tradition dictated that he wouldn't be able to be with Mori while she worked on dresses and such so he had to think of something to take up his time. "Well if it would help you out I can repair your arrows and such for you? Other than that II'm really uncertain. Might head out at some point and look for my garments, but I have it easy compared to you. I still need to send a letter to Nemo but he will come just for the sake of making sure that I'm safe here, a wedding would just be another excuse for him." He wrapped his arms around Mori from behind her and kissed her gently on the cheek, "It's gonna be great you know, all of this work is going to pay off, I promise." They had time, all they had to do was get everything prepared and tell the captain when and it would be good as done. In theory simple, in practice a b***h to deal with.

Jon smiled and shrugged slightly, "I'll know when I find it, any suggestions? I figured some sort of dress tunic and pants. I have a pair of black boots that will serve after they have been polished properly. That will have to wait though till the week of the wedding so that they stay clean. Most likely it will end up being something simple yet elegant. That is after all the way I think. Nemo will most likely be the same and his hair will probably be pulled back into his tribal braid. He does that for special occasions." It would be interesting to see if Jon could actually find something suiting and comfortable but without having to wear armor that was already a possibility.

It didn't take much thought for Jon, "Yeah that sounds good, if you can manage to pry Anlu away from Puck for long enough, it seems that they are always together when I see her." He laughed a bit thinking about it, "He annoys the crap out of her. It's quite cute actually." That was a big step, finding the location. If they did like this place then they were to make a huge advance, especially if Mori could figure out what she wanted as a set up, that would give Jon something to abide his time with. Boredom was going to become a menace to deal with in the time between now and the wedding or at least that was what it seemed, especially if the captain did what was right and didn't give him any missions between now and then.

Jon let out a slight laugh, "Trust me Mori, if I had any ideas I would tell you besides it isn't the wedding that is important. Thats just another formality and a bit of a irritating one at times. No what is important is the life we lead afterwards, to tell the truth I'm just relieved that the captain is willing to give us special housing. Who knows, one day you might never have to work at all. Perhaps focus on other things. There will be a bit of both of us in that." He paused for a moment, "Ill tell you what, for now well just keep everything simple black and white and I'll take care of Nemo and I if you take care of Anlu and yourself, no worry there. As for the other small details, we will borrow from the striders and I should have enough time to put together what we don't have. Let the captain have fun with the reception but lets keep the ceremony simple, okay. So there now you have what little input I might be able to offer." It was said by many that weddings were really about the bride and that was true , but Jon appreciated Mori trying to make it something more than that.

She always seemed to be in such a hurry once she got moving. Jon tried to imagine himself constantly moving at such a pace but failed to fathom it. "Alright I might head to a different part of the port to send a letter and look through dress clothes. Never really have had anything dressy before. God this is going to take forever. I guess I should start up that letter." Jon wasn't certain though that he was going to be prepared for the reply when it did finally come. This meant permanency with the striders and that he wasn't going to return to the bandits. Nemo wouldn't be to pleased like that, but they were brothers before they were thieves and that was what made Jon hope that Nemo wouldn't take it too hard.

((Just for that you are running straight into Nemo first thing when Mori goes shopping. Since she loves the big oaf so much.))

Jon cocked an eyebrow, "A few more days? What is so different about a few more days?" She had so many different odd customs, or at least that was how they seemed to Jon. There were probably some dessert customs she would find strange, like the tribal rights of passage and tattoo magic and numerous others meant to help young men learn to live with the dessert as a companion. He let his feet hang off of the bed aimlessly for the moment not wanting to leave just yet. Something about actually sitting down and writing was daunting. The only other thing he had to do in his room was check on the lotus, but it was no where near ready yet.

((I was planning on it any way. He is gonna try really hard to get on her good side though. I think you are right though, even though I didn't like FFX-2 as much as others in the series.))

Jon had completely forgotten about the time of the year, "Sorry guess I've lost track of time wince we've been back." He laughed slightly at the bad luck comment, "Weren't you already supposed to be cursed or something for being a half demon, I'm sorry but your old village seems a little extreme with all of the curses and stuff they seem to believe in. Kinda funny when you stop to think about it." He wasn't passing criticism he just found it interesting that this village of hers always seem to want things to cause bad luck, almost as if they wished for it. Either way it was important to Mori so he would help her out with it if she needed and support her in her pursuit of tradition.
