Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azura wasn't to shocked that Victor left with ambassador. After all the Ambassador did catch Azura's eyes as well. However, it was far too early for the prince. So he headed off to his bedroom to sleep a little more. As she crawled under his fleece blanket, and fur comfortable, he finally yawned. shutting his eyes it was no shocked that fell asleep again.....only to be re-awoken by the sound of thrusters going off. Azura jumped from the bed and put on his formal suit. He may be 15, and cruel and unusual, but he had business to attend too. He requested a formal meeting with his parents instead of just walking in. If he wanted to protect the family, Victor cared so much for. He had to do it in the formal approach. This shocked his parents greatly. Usually the prince was whiny and pushy to get what he wanted, but now he stood before the King and Queen. Bowing to them as he spoke. "I already know that the Ambassador bought the rights to Victor's service. I formally am here on the behalf of him and myself. I would like the protection of Alexandrov family to be placed under the care of the Royal family. I will take full blame and responsibility of their actions. Also I heard that family is struggling and I would like to request a job transfer. To make sure that the family itself is financially secure. Transfer Alexandrov Senior to the work in the advance technology research. It will benefit both the branch and ourselves. He's knowledge. If you do not oblige, I hate to think what the neighboring countries would do if they find out you were being bribed." He threw the last part in as a threat. It seemed to work, because they were shocked. obviously they didn't know that he ease dropped on their conversations. As Azura stood up after they accepted his proposal. He spoke again. "I also like to request a ship. I find it beneficial to see the country of Gunther with my own eyes, as well as that of the neighboring country. If I suppose to run the kingdom when I turn 18. Now would be the best time for me to achieve the harsh and cruelty of the world. " His parent looked at each other in shock. They thought of their son as someone not smart, and overall a spoiled kid with a sick personality. They were speechless for awhile. Prince Azura didn't wait for the reply and simply spoke sternly in a tone that suggested it was an order. "Bet yet! I'm leaving for training and I'm taking Simon, the engineer, Bethsheda, the maid, Peter, the cook. Oh and Leigh. Afterall, trips are lonely without a little companion." Azura walked out of the room as his parents were about to protest. He had a feeling it wasn't even going to be over the crew, but the fact he taking Leigh. Afterall, the Prince of Gunther, alone on a airship with women.

Victor kept a careful eye out. They were out of the most dangerous spot, but that didn't mean they couldn't still be attacked by sky pirates or by enemy ships. He thought he spotted something in the distance, but couldn't be sure.

"Oh no" Cedric mumbled under his breath when he heard the inspection order being yelled out. He was a bit reluctant at first waiting for most of the crew to go ahead before he did. He stayed close to the others thinking of a back up plan as he moved, this was it, do or die time. He lined up along the others keeping his head straight.

As Hector walked out, she saw everyone lined up for her. The crew was relatively small but very well organized. Hector walked back and forth, stopping in front of the occasional soldier and drilling them with questions. She then walked to the second row, and noticing Cedric, she stopped in front of Victor. "Hello soldier." She said, tapping her switch lightly against her palm and looking him over. "For a first time, not too shabby."

"You're lucky you gave a proper response or I would have to do something about your tongue. By the way, your ranks are tilted slightly to the left and... it appears you have a hair." She said, picking it off of his uniform and brushing his shoulder. Of course, it was said to hurt Victor's ego.

"Good, though a word of advice. It's a lot easier to keep inappropriate remarks to yourself when you keep your mouth shut. You never know when one might slip out." She replied with a cruel smirk.

Hector continued to stare at Victor intently as she lifted her switch and placed it on top of Cedric's name tag so he couldn't look down at it. She slowly turned her head towards Cedric and gave him a small coy smile. "What is your name, soldier?" She asked.
