[OOC:] What I ment was that Drake had a very hard time, but his father said they were only goin easy, much to Drake's dismay. His almost exact words after hearing that: "You're kidding...right?" [/OOC]

Drake couldn't help but smile. She succeeded. That's good to hear.

"Congradulations!" Drake said as she entered the room where her guardians were waiting. I'd be more enthusiastic, but there are enough people ready to tackle her in joy. I'll wait. He thought as he chuckled to himself.

Brian quickly morphed into a small lizard and hid behind a statue; he didn't want to cause any alarm in such a joyful moment. 'Congratulations,' he thought.

Zita stumbled through the door of the bar, glad that the lights were dim. He stumbled up to the counter, then looked over the massive 6'8 bartender.

"Uh...you wouldn't happen to know where the hell I am wouldya? See, I was on a boat goin to Besaid or some other hickwater town, then Sin came, then I blacked out, and now I'm here...I just wanne get my bearings, and maybe a drink."

(OOC: There, now two characters can be waiting for the main group...)

The guado still waited outside the temple in the midday sun. The preists were beginning to get suspiscious of his being there. He could hear them whispering. Figures in black that stayed at the doors of churches were generally not taken to very kindly.

Do I care what those fools think? I was once one but that I saw the futileness of this foolish venture. This one thing the Al Behd actually got right. They speak funny but that doesn't make a whit of difference in the end now does it?

So the girl had finally arrived eh? That's fine enough. Apparently she had somehow gotten through the first test.

Well I guess I should offer some of my services at some point. She could be useful... not that I couldn't just tail them.

Zeke conagulated her and went to where the lizard was sitting. "Hey buddy. I'll give you a ride out ok" he said picking up the lizard/man and setting him on his shoulders. Zeke held his sword waiting for every one to finish celebrating. "Well 1 down a bit more to go" he chirped like it was an easy thing to do.

Dezil had moved into the temple into the open reception area, the area with all the statues. He went he to reflect often on the goals of the summoners, and his job, on theirs, and on life in Spira in general. He was leaning against one of the shorter statues, looking up at the past summoners, and becoming lost in thought.

OOC: Technal, my character was hiding behind a statue so I'm not quite sure how you can suddenly find him... Oh well.

Brian quickly morphed into a small bird and flew off of Zeke's shoulder. He didn't really feel comfortable with someone picking him up while he was about 1/100th of their size.

(He's got mad eyesight)

"You know, I really wish I could do that. It might come in use once in a while..."

OOC: We're still inside the room just before the Trails for the summoner...

OOC: Well some of you stepped out, there are no statues in that room...and why does he keep changing into a bird inside?
