I like this city a lot better than the other one. At least they don't throw rocks at us.

Can you blame them Loz? We weren't exactly very kind.

-Loz and Yazoo were walking down the cobble stone streets of Radiant Garden. The pairs "older sister" had informed them of a much more comfortable city to reside in till arrangements could be made by those in charge to assist in reintegrating the trio of brothers back into society. Considering all the things both Shinra and Avalanche did over the course of a decade or so, who were they to dictate who could or could not be accepted and allowed to move on? It would be rather contradictory, at least to Aerith and Zack anyways. The trio intended to migrate to Edge city eventually, but until they could prove to the people they were no longer a threat, it was safer to spend time in town with the restoration committee and dragon people.-

I guess not. Its still mean though... Where do you even find rocks that big to throw at people?

I heard from big sister that meteor fall brought about a lot of destruction. I'm not too surprised there are large rocks littered around, especially in the areas they haven't finished cleaning up yet. Its alright though, she said its safe here. Where did Kadaj run off to?

Oh... uh... big brother Kadaj said he was goin' to talk to the guys workin' on the houses around here. Did meteor fall crush this town too?

I don't think so. I'm sure some of it was damaged but most of it looks to have been neglected and abandoned. A lot like many places in Gaia. What do you think of it?

I dunno Yazoo. I like it better than that other place, do we really have to go back there?

Kadaj said it would be better since we know more people there. Besides, most of the population lives there, so it will be easier to find jobs and housing. Though... I guess we could find the same out here if we knew the right people.

I thought that Shinra guy was gonna find us somethin' ta do.

Hm? Oh... Well him and Kadaj got into a petty argument, so its best we find something else just in case.

-Loz groaned and shook his head, crossing his arms as he continued along with his shorter sibling, he grunted when he noticed a long rectangle box cradled between the other mans arms rather cutely. He almost looked nervous, very unlike Yazoo.-

What's that for?

Hm? Oh...

-Yazoo gave a mild smile up at his younger sibling, looking back down at the package a bit shyly.-

Its a present.

For who?

You'll see.

-Slowly, the pair arrived at Merlin the Wizard's doorstep. He seemed to hesitate before placing it securely on the stoop. He paused, looked around, then quickly rang the doorbell, grabbing his brother swiftly and securely by the wrist before dragging him around the side to the back alley, causing the larger man to yelp.-

Why we hidin'?

Shh.

-Angry ramblings could be heard before the little house door opened.-

Conflabbit! I know you kids are bored but harassing an old man and interrupting vital work is- Oh... oh hello.

-The old wizard paused when he saw the box on the doorstep Yazoo had left. He hummed and picked it up, looking it over with worn weary eyes. He spotted a name on the box, confusion quickly washing over his features.-

...Yuffie! My house is not a place to have strange packages delivered!

What the hell you griping about old man?
