•༄──────✧༄✦༄✧──────༄•

     A bustling crowd, chatter ringing through the stalls, Flamewings pushing and occasionally giving him odd stares. This truly was the center-most populated area within Ignatius!

     To say Mateo was excited was easy to believe. His heels bounced on the stone tiles as he looked around at his surroundings. A purple-white haired Skywing of similar stature to him shouldn't be too hard to spot amongst the sea of orange and red. Especially if he used his wings, but his normal eyes did the job well enough.

      Fairly soon a white figure popped out from the mob, an exhasperated expression on her face as she struggled to get through the condensed area. This truly was the center-most populated area in Ignatius...
     The skywing approached the other, arms crossed. It was clear she was here to get to the point. Some small part of her had been wanting to do something like this for a very long time. "So, what's the idea?"

‎ ‎     "Traffic on your way here?" Mateo inquired, eyes closing into crescents as he smiled and feigned ignorance. He gestured at the folded-up table in his hands. It was a sturdy structure made of steel. Though taking Skye's strength into mind, he wondered if the table would be able to withstand the activities later on.

     Mateo placed the table into her hands and led her over to a busy spot where most, if not all, Flamewing's passed. "Today, my dear friend, we'll be testing out the strength of Ignatius! Not only do you get to flaunt those amazing arms of yours, you get to earn some easy, hard cold cash!"

     Despite being a Calestis noble, he sure spoke like an experienced con artist.

      "Uh-huh.." The vagueness of his statement allowed her mind to imagine many ways, logical or not, that those claims could be fulfilled. Perhaps they would have a contest of who could carry that steel table for the longest? It didn't look heavy. Perhaps she would carry people on the table? That would give a little challenge.
      She barely even reacted to taking the steel item, despite it having a considerable weight, bringing it over with general ease. The only difficulties coming from the need to avoid hitting others with it. When they reached the spot, she set it up quickly. "And we need this for..??"

     "Go ahead and take a seat!" Mateo said, pushing her over to it. Some bystanders glanced curiously at what the pair could be doing. Seeing some Skywings in the polar opposite of their land was rather bizarre.

     "Come one, come all! Here we have a highly valuable gemstone often sought after amongst nobility. However, with just a test of your strength against this young Skywing, you may just claim it for your own!" His exclaims spread across the entire crowd, stopping most in their tracks to witness the attraction.

     In a passionate shade of red box was a shimmering white gem that reflected the light off of it. Unable to resist the temptation of such a jewel in his hand, numerous shook their currency towards them to try it out.

      "Where did you get that..??" Her question was left promptly unanswered as the first contestant stepped up and sat across from her after handing some coin to Mateo.
      It was some teenage boy, probably in middle school from his lackluster height and the squeaky sounding voice when he confidently said. "A skywing? This is gonna be so easy! That jewel is mine!"
      She rolled her eyes as his friend snickered behind them. They set up their arms, and on the count of the other, started. It took very little effort for her to slam the boy's arm down. From the sound and his reaction thereafter, it clearly hurt.
