( sounds great! )
" Sounds like a good idea to me ." Max said with a smile.

After they paid for the shoes, Jean nodded. "Thanks"

" You are welcome. " The clerk said to Jean. It was nice to see people enjoy themselves during this difficult time.

(timeskip, Jean and Max back from their Girl's day out?)

( sounds good to me. )

(alright. FYI: the Blue Dragon that Jean is referring to is one of the four dragons in the game. That Dragon's magic is a powerful healing spell)

Jean grinned lightly as she saw Max smiling, which was the true purpose of the trip. She had looked so sad the last couple of days and was glad to help her cheer up. She touched the small pin she attached to her outfit and grinned when she felt the dragon magic coursing through it. Granted, it had been a surprise to see one of the four dragon pins way out here, and even more surprised to find out that it was an actual pin and not a fake one.

( Thank you for the information.:) ))

Max found a necklace with a feather pendant that reminded her of the friend she was looking for and was glad it wasn't expensive.

(no problem. The two games for the Lunar series, to my knowledge anyways, are very rare and hard to find.)

Alex heard the two ladies come in a few minutes ago and looked up from the notepad that he was writing ideas down on. Noticing the smiles on both females, he grinned lightly before he got up and took some packages from both of them. "You did leave enough at the stores for other customers I hope," he said in a teasing manner.

" Don't worry . We did. " Max said with a grin.

"Glad to hear," Alex said with a small grin as Jean gave him back his Bishidex. Thanking her for it, he put it back with the rest of his stuff.

(If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas)

( Thank you! :) Merry Christmas to you too.))
Max gave Sora the pouch she found for him, remembering he said he was looking for a new one.

(You're Welcome ^_^)

"Thank you," Sora said as he took the pouch from her hands. He was glad that she had remembered, and it was also good to see her in better spirits than earlier.

Max was glad that Sora liked the pouch. She then put the shoes she had bought near her things and put the ones for Carly under the bed for safe keeping.

Jean placed the things that she bought next to her pile of stuff before going next to Alex and reading over his shoulder on the notepad he had next to him. "Planning things out?" she asked as he responded with a quick yes. "We should move soon," she whispered as she glanced over at Max for a quick second. "I don't think Max and the others can survive long without their trainers nearby," she said in the same tone.

Alex looked over to Max for a second, then to Sora before nodding lightly. "I'll see what I can do, he whispered lightly"

Max sat down and took a nap. She was feeling tired after all the fun she had that afternoon.

(been watching Being Human on hulu instead of the DVD I got. Why? I got the British version for Christmas...meh)

Alex wondered where Leglius was and decided to go looking for him. However, before he could, he walked inside with a tired smile on his face. "It took a little while, but it's done," he said.

( haven't seen the British version. Only the Syfy version. )

Sora was getting tired also and decided to also go to bed. He was glad to see that Leglius was back.

(*is watching it on Hulu now actually. Thank god for 3 day weekends!)

Alex was glad that Leglius was back as well, and ordered the Captain to rest, which Leglius complied with immediately as he headed into a bedroom.

( I agree. Now starting the book Catching Fire. )
Max had a hard time falling asleep, and decided just to lay in bed. She would get up later if she was needed.

(nice)

Nita noticed that Max was laying down and closed the door quietly so she could have some peace and quiet. She would have added a silence spell around the room, but she had the feeling Max wanted to know if/when she would be needed, if at all.

Max finally fell asleep, hoping the headache she had would go away.

Alex saw Nita slowly close the door and nodded lightly in Nita's direction before turning back to Leglius and asking how the mission went, to which Leglius smiled lightly.

"Bryce should be wondering just why some of his supply routes were attacked by now, but I don't know what he'll do afterwards."

Sora couldn't sleep so he decided to read a little bit. He wanted this to end soon , and missed Taylor very much.

"Alex...I know you wanted to plan for every possible outcome, but we need to move, and soon. I don't think Max, Sora or Saphira can stay away from their trainers much longer," Leglius said as Alex took a thoughtful pose for a few moments before sighing.

"You're right. I'll see about getting a meeting with the Rebels and to someone in the Dragon Council," Alex said.

Saphira was feeling more tired than she usually did, though she thought it was because she didn't sleep well the night before.
