40th of Fall, 514AV


Sometimes, in the course of controlling crises, conditions conduce one to step back from the fray and unwind with a walk. Unfortunately, pressure prohibits passing time idly during such events; thus, the resourceful leader multitasks.

"I don't like it, Ricky." said Ignotus, the leader in question. "We have already been attacked by foreigners in the recent past. I doubt the people will be as welcoming as before." It was convenient that the Wave Guard's profession required him to stroll through the city; at the moment they passed the Cerulean Pier. An egg-sized orb of water orbited a smaller sphere of electric blue Res at Ignotus' shoulder. "I have already cleared time for a meeting with these Ivyness eight days from now, but our dear citizens may not wait that long."

The water ball quickened its orbit around the wizard's Res, then launched lightly at Ricky. "I've been stuck in the quagmire of higher office; what is the mood in Zeltiva like?"

Times like this were always the stranger ones for the competent Wave Guard, if he didn't work hard to live up to being the rank of Sergeant then he honestly didn't believe he deserved it. Of course given the circumstances he really couldn't refuse an opportunity to take a walk with the man of the bell, seeing as how it was hardly even possible to easily get a visit from the esteemed Lord of Council himself when he could be so easily busy. With their history though it didn't surprise Ricky that he'd come wanting to discuss an important topic, and granted that it was a popular topic that could easily worry him, the Wave Guard couldn't help but feel obliged to commune with the figure about the status in which the general public felt.

"Believe me," The Zeltivan giant gave a chuckle as a glob of royal blue circled him, "Oi canny say Oi expect dem t' wait eit'er." He agreed as his Res pulled the incoming water into its reach, the liquid quickly sloshed as it enveloped the grapefruit sized glob in its current path. Honestly he thought this whole idea of playing catch with water came a little silly, even with it being out in the open the way it was. He was definitely not used to it, yet at the same time not a single individual that would pass them never caused such a scene. Sure the occasional look might've occurred which felt unhealthy in Ricky's terms, but all the same he continued to play along with the idea anyways, since it would no doubt improve his practice some while they continued to speak. "Honestly de people 'ave a mixed reaction goin' on, while most seem excited or curious about de Ivess- er, Ivarss? Bah, Whatever dey call demselves."

He mused as he kept his hand in a fist save for the index finger, as that was used to continually rotate the ball of water around him. "Even if dat's what most people seem t' show, Oi still git a bad feelin' somet'in might go down. S'why t'morrow Oi'll be positioned near t'eir camp, keep patrol goin' while de peace is kept hopefully." He noted as he hoped that might actually put at least a small amount of ease to the mind of the Lord of Council, he picked up the rotation to gain a bit of speed for the water orb. When enough momentum should've been built he gave Ignotus the "Head's up," before all traces of the aquatic substance were released, the water tossed over to his catching buddy while his Res resumed the same simple manner of activity it held before.

"Your initiative does you credit, Ricky." Ignotus said with an approving smile, the water ball pulling itself fluidly back into orbit. The exercise exerted novices excellently, but for the senior Reimancer, it was good mostly for avoiding rustiness. "You've been so good to push yourself, even with the baby." The lines in the Nuit's face softened slightly as his stride slowed. "I'll have to remember this when considering promotions." The orb sped up again. "Tell me Ricky, how has the job been?"

The guardian couldn't help but chortle a bit when the Lord of Council decided to compliment him, a bit of sudden pride found in himself as he found a sense of boosted confidence from the sudden praise. Deep down though there was an estranged sense of insurgence found within him, the profound intent to oppose that which he stood by kept locked deep within as he could only surmise what Ignotus must've thought about. No doubt there was the fact Ricky started to prove himself a real hound, capable of getting his job done were he granted any higher role that was gifted upon him. Yet even so the fact he'd been graced with the ideals of protection for the city, that still didn't leave him loyally blind to the figure that walked next to him in their conversation. In truth there was a deep sense of paranoia Ricky tried to keep averted at all costs, the only factors plausible to determine his over awareness present by the sweat on his palms and fast beating of his heart.

No. He had to remain collected, his secret ambition wasn't ready to be made known yet. The subtle enemy next to him needn't be aroused yet, not when the member of his pack hadn't the power he needed to tackle the alpha. "Believe it or not Oi've been kickin' me own ass 'bout it fer a while now, it's been good t' finally put effort in bein' one step ahead o' everyone else." He mused as he could no doubt tell that Ignotus could relate, seeing as how he was a very preemptive man who used nothing but caution to dominate his influence. The father recalled it all to well, even if Ignotus brushed the assumption off like it was nothing. Telion and Martin? They were practically means of controlling the guardian, yet Ricky made sure to avoid any chances of Ignotus discovering his own intent, as it wouldn't do to let the Nuit learn that this dogs bite was soon getting worse than his own bark. And with the observation found in that Ricky had indeed been working hard, even with the fact he had a child at home he raised, that led the father to silently gulp a bit of air as he feared discovery were indeed imminent.

Still he managed to force a chuckle with humility found in his expression, the fact promotions were mentioned left him to consider that nothing was for certain just yet. With the magical flying ball of water rounded into a sped form once more, Ricky's own res circled about to catch the projectile that flung through the air as it orbited him in a counterclockwise motion. He had to admit that he'd practically been getting good with his reaction timing as well as control, which is a long way from where he started when Ignotus first performed the initiation on him. Just keep it simple now, don't worry 'bout specifics in answerin' his question. He reminded himself as he rotated two fingers about slowly, their stroll brought to a slug's pace as he looked at the Lord of Council plainly. His response had to be narrowed down yet well worded in order to cover up the practices he'd partook in, the efforts of shielding especially most important if he wanted to avoid discovery. That by far was his most precious trump card.

"Same as ever really, just twice as exhaustin' now Oi'm back an' raisin' me son." He made a soft grin show as he hoped to humor the Nuit a little. "Really nothin's changed since Oi left fer Syliras, an' now dat Oi'm back Oi find de quiet all too... disturbin'. S'why tomorrow Oi'm gonna make sure nothin' goes down." Should he indulge Ignotus in his thoughts? The fact its been on his mind really didn't change much, plus he wondered just how exactly his 'superior' would react to hear it. "Lately t'ough Oi've been t'inkin' Oi need a break, t'ough Oi can't say fer sure if Oi want t'. As much as Oi love bein' a guard, Oi t'ink Oi also need a bit o' time t' raise me son as well." There. He cast that line out there, and with it the velocity increased. The water swerved around his body once more with a swish before the projectile launched towards Ignotus once more, sharp blue eyes honed on the Nuit as Ricky tried to read into his reaction.
