Stilzkin walked through Treno, taking in the sights. It'd been a while since he'd spent time in the eternally dark city. Yet it seemed the natural stop for the night in his travels, and there was the matter of settling Lani's bar tab.

Just ahead stood a strangely dressed man, looking very dazed. "Kupo! Are you lost, kupo?"

[mangun]

Laguna jolted out of his daze. He looked all around for the voice and found himself looking down towards the little moogle. He blinked, opened his mouth to reply, and then made a helpless gesture towards the smaller male who had bumped into him. "Sorry! I mean - I think I am. It seems like we're both a little out of place, huh?"

His last spoken question was directed towards Arc.

Laguna reached out and ruffled the kid's hair with a lopsided, but warm smile. "We'll be lost together, how's that sound?"

[saltparsley]

When he realized the question had been addressed to him, he just nodded silently in reply. The strangely dressed moogle managed to distract him from his own thoughts just enough to calm him down to the point where a full-on panic attack was not quite an issue anymore. Why was it dressed like that? Was it setting out on an adventure? Why would a moogle be setting out on an adventure?

Then the stranger ruffled his hair and it was such a familiar action in such an unfamiliar place that he found it extremely comforting, despite the way he winced about it. It was something his brother Luneth had a tendency to do. His hand dropped from his mouth, fingers curling to his palm, and came to rest against his chest, covering the bottom of his yellow ascot. A faint smile revealed itself. "Alright."

Two strangers lost. How unusual. They appeared to be more of the folk from the sky. "Kupo. Lost is a bad thing to be, kupo. Here." His little paw thrust into his traveling bag and withdrew a lapis lazuli, a peck of gysahl greens and a hi-potion. "Take these, kupo."

His head tilted up, way up, to look at the humans. "Are you here for the tournament, kupo?"

[mangun]

Laguna tilted his head again at the moogle. "Tournament..? I haven't heard anyth--wait, no, I do remember hearing something about it. Yeah! Yeah, I guess I am." He grinned then. "When's it start? Where do I go?"

He sent a glance to Arc and returned the smile, looking back towards the moogle with a keen look in his green eyes.

[saltparsley]

Oh. The man wasn't taking what the moogle had offered; that seemed awfully rude. Arc knelt down to accept the proffered items, looking them over curiously as he rose back to his feet.

"Tournament?" he piped up when the word caught his attention, looking up from the Lapis Lazuli to the moogle and then to Laguna. There was a fleeting sign of fright in his voice, but it was quickly replaced by curiosity as he continued, "What tournament?"

[tidesnpcs]

Stilzkin looked at the two humans curiously. Did they always accept a moogle's traveling supplies without any thank yous? Not even gil?

"A card tournament, kupo," he informed the younger of the two. He extended a paw in the direction of the stadium. "It's that way, kupo. You can register to start there, kupo. Good luck! Kupo!"

[mangun]

Laguna looked off towards the stadium, squinting, and then looked back down at Stilzkin. "A card tournament? I haven't tried my hand at cards since I was with Kiros and Ward! This'll be great."

He turned, about to start off to the stadium when he stopped and turned back to the moogle. He crouched down, grinning, and patted its head, jolting around its pom-pom. "Thanks, by the way! For the items, really appreciate it."
