"That pegius rider and her little friend, I'm not sure they can be trusted too well. It would be nice to have you travel with me, just in case an attack but I need somebody I can trust to make sure they are truely on our side. Who do you want to go with?"

'I understand. I'll go with Matis to Ilia and keep my eye open.' He then followed Alexia to the armory.

OoC: Nabatans don't have wings, in FE6/7 dragons have no wings (Ninian, Nils, Fa) when in human form, Dray'Gon is special.
BiC: Brad knew no one would trust him here after they had seen him being dragged around by some burly gaurds so he kept to himself. The fruit here was very different, the apples for example were more Pink than Red and the oranges more Yellow than Orange. Brad chuckled at the Pink apples and Yellow Oranges and looked around, for a barren desert this place was pretty busy.

Matis was aimlessly walking down the streets, enjoying the calm and peaceful town, watching the scenery. Arcadia looked like Ostia did in it's golden days, back a couple of years ago, before all this mess started. However, things here were quite different than on the outside world. There were no weapons inside the town..."Probably why most of them got stripped of their weaponry...they seemed to miss me, though."
He also saw that people didn't actually buy things. Apparently, fruits and other vegetables were grown on a magical garden "Probably one of Athos' neat tricks", which gave them an unlimited supply of them. You could just walk to a "store", pick up a fruit and eat it, and you would owe nothing to the store keeper.
Matis then saw a group of kids having fun on a beautiful flower garden. "Kids can play without a worry here...this is as close to paradise as there is..." Seeing as all the looks went to him and the others of the group, he just decided to keep walking, without paying any attention to the townsfolk.

Once again, Matthias prowled the streets. This time, more of the children took notice of him, pointing and giggling. Grinning, he waved at a few of them, causing several youngsters to duck behind grinning mothers. More than one young woman blushed at the sight of the sniper, causing his ego to inflate slightly.
Somehow, he'd managed to miss Kenshin and Alan, but it didn't really bother him overmuch. There was just something pleasant to this place. One got the feeling nothing bad could ever happen here. Without thinking about it, he plucked a ripe fruit off a cart and bit into it. "Even the damn fruit tastes better here," he commented, eyes returning to the scene around him. Part of him felt a little jealous, that his own homeland couldn't enjoy the piece and prosperity that these people had. Then again, isn't that what they were working for?
His wanderings took him to an exceptionally large house.
"Must be where we're supposed ta go ta sleep," he muttered, looking over the impressively large building. A few mutterers around him said some odd word. Sounded like Vain-lin or something...

Along the way to the building, Alexia had to stop several times. The Ostian dress she was wearing had caught the eyes of every woman in Arcadia, and all of them wanted to study it as closely as possible. Before she could even realize it, she'd been surrounded by a crowd of chattering women. "Heh, it's like the chickens back home," muttered Alexia, as a clucking woman raised her arm to study the dress. Several others poked and prodded, trying to figure out the secret behind the beautiful garment.
Truthfully, the warm air was not making wearing such a dress comfortable, and Alexia would rather be wearing something like most of the women here wore.
"Does anyone want to trade?" she asked, speaking over the crowd of women. Several blank stares accompanied her request. "You know, I give you the dress, and you give me one of yours?"
The entire crowd squealed at once, overjoyed at the prospect of having such a fine garment. Eventually, the carried the young woman into a house, desperate to play dress-up with the cavalier.
I'm going to want my lance before this is over, Alexia thought to herself.

"I wonder if Athos could help me with what I need to know." Kenshin got off the wall he was leaning on and headed back into the room he once was in.

The streets were filled with suckers, and Lyndsey was more than willing to take advantage of them. Every "merchant" was more than willing to give one of the "heroes" their wares. Not to mention the adoration she received from nearly every townsperson. A few people that remembered that she'd arrived earlier were heralding her as some sort of prophet, another thing she was willing to take advantage of.
She noticed Alexia getting mobbed by people, and heard her being nice to the natives. Lyndsey smirked as the cavalier's trade offer went up. Helping others never did her any good. You couldn't trust anybody. She snatched up another piece of fruit from a nearby cart, and headed for the large building they'd had reserved, carrying her stash of loot with her.

Alexia finally freed herself from the clutches of the middle-aged masses. A family had gladly traded her dress for several of the native's clothing. It was much breezier than the dress had been, and looked well enough that she was certain it would pass for court wear. the only thing left for her to do was to head for the inn and clean up. She'd have to travel with Matthias and a scruffy ex-bandit, but that was no reason not to clean up. Besides, who knew what awaited her in Etruria?

Brad grabbed some fruit and headed back to Athos chambers. The children in this village would be 50-100 years old, as for all of the gorgeous young ladies who knows. Dragons are interesting. Brad thought to himself.

Sergey was rummaging through a merchant goods. The merchant had invited him too take whatever he needed but as the fighter was throwing whatever he didn't away behind him he soon regretted his words. But it was painfully obvious the ex-bandit wouldn't take "No" for an answer.

Matis set out to the streets once again. "To believe that this place exists, after all. That it's not just a fairy tale, like those stories my father used to tell me, about the heroes that once fought against the dragons, and saved the human race from extinction..."
Matis just walked down the street, gazing at the many scenes the city had. Children playing, women cleaning the streets, men harvesting the crops from the magical garden... It just...didn't seem possible. It was so...surreal.
Then, he noticed...The pendant he had made with the crest the elder of his tribe had in his hand was gone! "Where? Wait...the maiden at the inn! She took my clothes for laundry, and I had left it there!
Wasting no time, Matis head back to the inn, zooming past stands and people at full speed.

Lumino started walking down the streets again. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't be relaxed around them. Something kept telling him that there was something he should be doing, something more important then sitting around. Not to mention the words he heard from Matthias earlier...He pondered the truth that may have been in them...but even then, there was the other one...Aghhhh...
"Damn it why is life never simple?" He scoffed kicking a patch of sand. If he was going to be traveling half way across the continent with them, he better learn to deal with it.

As Lyndsey was heading towards the huge building, she saw the young mage coming out. He ran walked past her, obviously too wrapped up in his thoughts to notice her. She briefly debated tormented him, but he was one of the few who hadn't done anything. Instead, she opted to enter the inn, and greet the rest of the group.

Matis and Kenshin were passing by, heading back to the inn, when they came across the green-headed magician known as Lumino.(OoC: Sorry for calling you green-headed magician and all, but you "just" got introduced to Matis. When I post, I do so from Matis' point of view)
"Hey Lumino. What are you doing here?" Matis said, getting closer to him. Lumino had been at the inn until he left. What was he doing here now?
"Is something wrong?"
