Luna blinked in the sunshine, her eyes slowly readjusting to the brilliant light from being in the dark dreary cave. She looked at the others that materialized with her.
"So what next?" she asked, looking at Kaodin.
"Let's wait for our Leader at the tavern. He can turn in the quest for us." Sora replied, taking Luna by the arm; Cien taking her by the other arm.
As they led her away, Gigaz turned to Kaodin while the others followed them.
"I think I'll stick with you. No one explained anything to you and just figured you'd know..." he told him, crossing his arms.
"Thanks." Kaodin said, turning towards the quests building, "Do you know how to turn in the quest?"
Gigaz looked down at him and shrugged.
"Nope."
He leans in close to talk to Kaodin in a whisper.
"I have about three other completed quests that I don't know how to turn in..."
Kaodin looked at him in disbelief. He looked around for a moment then turned back to the giant.
"Why don't we ask someone?" he questioned, getting a quick head shake from Gigaz.
"Cuz they'll think we're new." he answered, Kaodin chuckling at him.
"But we are new..."
"Yeah but you don't want others to know that." Gigaz exclaimed getting a puzzled look from Kaodin.
"Well why not?" Kaodin queried.
"Because they'll think we're low level." Gigaz whispered.
"But we ARE low leveled...." he murmured.
"It's just not good to go ask someone." he said stubbornly.
"Alright, alright." Kaodin replied, holding his hands up defensively, "Let's just go find Lu and the others."
Gigaz nodded and began to walk off, Kaodin trailing behind him. They looked at the signs at the top of the stores. Walking around for a few minutes looking in each dining area to find their team, they heard someone call out to them.
"Hey, Kao, Gigaz! Over here!"
Luna's voice called out to them, her voice stopping a few players in their tracks; they seeming to search for the voice's owner. Gigaz looked around, spotting Luna by the entrance of an elaborate tavern door, jumping up and waving to catch their attention. He looked down to see Kaodin searching the crowd for her. Gigaz lifted Kaodin up for him to see Luna smiling and waving. She smiled wider when she saw Kaodin, her luminous blue eyes lighting up instantly. Gigaz placed Kaodin on his shoulder and walked through the crowd, the players moving aside to let the giant pass. When they reached Luna, she motioned for them to go in; walking in after them.
"We're in the corner over there." she said, pointing towards the farthest corner in the tavern.
As she weaved easily through the tables and chairs, Kaodin watched her; sighing softly.
"You really love her, don't you?" Gigaz asked, chuckling at Kaodin's quick blush.
"We've been friends for years. I talked her into playing this game since she doesn't really have anything to do at home." Kaodin replied, "She loves having someone to cook for, so I always go over there for a free meal and to keep her company."
"I can see why for the food. Her cooking is top notch." Gigaz smiled, placing Kaodin on the ground, "Why don't you tell her the truth then?"
Kaodin shrugged at the question.
