"Oi!" called Yosh rushing to the twin brothers at the great steps. "Thank Bathala I found you first. I've commissioned Luna and Stella to help me search for the two of you and played a little gamble on the side. Whoever sees you first gets to eat my Para-Applemango fruit that I've been saving and, whew, that's really a close one!"

The two just looked to Yosh's smiling face with blank expressions as if feeling a little sick.

"Hey, are you guys ok? I said a Para-Appplemango fruit? The rarest mango fruit there is? The one that's so deliciously sweet and juicy?" he stopped awhile awaiting his brother's reactions to the mystical fruit that they've been craving since winter. "Oh come on! What's wrong with you two?"

"Were just tired is all," said Karus lethargically.

"Oh! I guess you won't be too impressed then if I told you that I ACED MY EXAMS TODAY! OH YEAH!" he said shouting with much enthusiasm.

The two began looking each other and suddenly created a very excited face filled with smiling eyes masking what they fell, giving opened mouths and raised eyebrows to further the effect. Nobody can see them like that, especially not Yosh. He won't quit bothering them what's up and they think he's still not ready to hear the news.

"Hooray! We're going to the North after all!" exclaimed Kayzar as he grabbed Yosh's head with his arm and scrubbed his hair vigorously.

"Wow! How'd you do it? I mean you can't really, seriously, positively, ace that exam! You didn't even listen to my lecture; you didn't even make a third of the attention you gave me to Kayzar when he's tackling about Military Tactical Decisions and Elemental Maneuvers!"

"Well, as I've said I just crossed the ones that don't matter and picked the ones that did. Even if I didn't understand Kuya-Kayzar's lecture, it doesn't mean that I didn't memorized some words that he uttered. When it comes to mnemonics, I can be a lot tougher to beat! I haven't really ever experienced an exam beating me!"

"Hah! Good thing you have the ears of a jungle cat and a memory like a snap dragon. I really envy that thing you have there," said Karus patting his shoulders.

"Yep, that's why I consider myself a good hunter - not to mention a handsome one If I might add."

"Here we go again," sighed Kayzar smiling and letting go of Yosh leaving him standing in the middle of the steps.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry Kayzar. I forgot that I shouldn't patronize him that much."

Karus and Kayzar went to the top of the stairs smiling leaving Yosh alone at the steps.

"What? What's wrong? It's the truth!" he shouted as he ran to join his brothers who are hurriedly walking to get away from him.

The three then walked merrily along the long hallways going to the eastern part of the Palace. Karus and Kayzar looked at each other as if conversing with their eyes, giving an understanding with one another. They just smiled and agreed to keep up showing a happy appearance so that everyone wouldn't notice something's amiss.

"Hey, Hey! I told you to include me in your conversation!" shouted Yosh waving his hands in front of the twin's face interrupting their almost-telepathic conversation. "You shouldn't leave the other company guessing what you're thinking! It's rude!"

"I'm sorry we're just realizing something..." said Karus snapping away from their deep thoughts.

"Yeah," replied Kayzar. "We're thinking, since we're going to the north. We should visit our dear friend Nemer."

"Right~" complained Yosh, "I know where this is going. You want me to go to Nemer and ask him to tell his master Dal'Gur to make us new weapons. You two always pass me errands!"
