Naisha Padarak Adventurer (Samurai) "My enemies fall to a stroke of the blade."
[Castle Padarak, bathroom to closet] Aspen, would you like to become a Princess of Padarak? In doing so, you'll become the sister of Prince Anduin of Padarak. Naisha asked Aspen nicely. Shall we meet with Ballador, Aspen?
Aspen had never thought about being a princess so she answered tuefully "No, not really but it does sound nice. And sure lets go meet up with him" Aspen replied

[Castle Padarak, closet to Hallway] Ballador saw Aspen enter, she was wearing a nice black ballgown with matching shoes. She was more of a princess then a witch girl. Ballador blushed. Aspen, you're really beautiful. Care for a dance? Ballador offered his hand toward Aspen's.
You can think about it, Aspen, and we'll talk about you becoming a Princess of Padarak later.

Aspen smiles and takes Ballador's hand and says "sure why not, there is no harm in dancing is there?" She asked

[Castle Padarak, Hallway] Ballador began a practice dance with Aspen. Its a friendly dance. After this dance, we can dance more later tonight at the party. Aspen, you're a princess in my eyes. You're really sweet & kind. Ballador blushed lightly after saying these kind words to the kind human witch girl.

[Castle Padarak, Hallway] After Ballador danced with Aspen for a bit Sure, Aspen. Would you like to sit next to me on the ride to the capital?
Aspen, would you like to see the bedroom you can use here in Castle Padarak while we wait for the carriage to be ready? Naisha asked the human witch girl kindly as she showed Aspen her room. Here we are, Aspen. This will be your bedroom. Your glasses are on the counter and witch hat is on the hat & coat rack. Maybe I can take you shopping tomorrow for some nice clothes? The bedroom was a nice shade of lilac like Naisha's kimono.
Halahk Padarak Adventurer (Templar) "I will be our sword."
*Deleted Scene 1-7: Kida Take 1* [Padarak, Fashon King & Queen to Town Square] Halahk just purchased a formal outfit for the party at the capital. Then he noticed a girl entering Padarak. She had Ice blue eyes, silver hair and a crystal necklace. Halahk went for a closer look. Greetings, traveler & welcome to the Great Crystal Nation of Padarak on Ivalice Island. I'm Halahk, but call me Hal, and my class is Templar. What's your name? Hal was holding his bag containing his formal clothes he purchased.
Kidakagash Nedkah - 'Kida' Warrior Princess "We are like a stone in the ocean, with each passing year a little more of us is worn away."
[Padarak, Town Square]
As Kida entered the town square, she looked over the many different people that resided there. There was a small smile on her face as she took in the surroundings and the fresh new faces as merchants went about their business at their stalls. So many different smells, sounds, and colors flooded about her that it gave her butterflies in her stomach. The feeling was welcomed as she let other townsfolk go about. Some may have stared but she did not really pay them any mind for her tattoos and lack of clothing seemed normal to her yet clashed in comparison to the others.
When she did take notice, it was when she saw another female sporting a pretty gown. Looking down at her skirt she pursed her lips slightly before looking up to see a young man approaching her. She held her bag slung over her shoulder along with her spear as she took in his appearance while he introduced himself. With a smile and a nod; she replied. "Kida Nedkah." She bowed her head slightly in greeting. Perhaps it is safer to remain as a traveler while I am here for now.She looked over at his bag in curiosity then back up at him. "Templar. As in warrior? I am one myself." She smiled in familiarity. "I traveled here in curiosity of the Great Crystal Nation. I had hoped that I might possibly learn more about this place to see if it is like my home."
Halahk Padarak Adventurer (Templar) "I will be our sword."
*Deleted Scene 3-7: Kida Take 1* [Padarak, Town Square to Castle Padarak] Nice to meet you, Kida. I was on my way back to Castle Padarak. Care to come with me? I just purchased a new formal outfit for the party at the capital. St. Ivalice is hosting a 3 night Full Moon Festival Ball. Templar is what we call one of several Adventurer classes in Ivalice Island. Along the way to Castle Padarak, Hal showed Kida Padarak's Crystal in the town square, then showed Kida the Invite he got from St. Ivalice earlier during the morning before reaching the castle with Kida. I'm 17 years old and the son of Padarak's Farmer.
Kidakagash Nedkah - 'Kida' Warrior Princess "We are like a stone in the ocean, with each passing year a little more of us is worn away."
[Padarak, Town Square then Castle Padarak]
Kida smiled in good spirits when Hal spoke. “Castle Padarak.” She repeated carefully as if getting used to speaking it, finding it to possibly be the epicenter of their political power. She blinked a little in surprise at the invitation. “To the castle? Is it allowed for travelers from outside to go that close?” She lightly scratched the tribal tattoo on her cheek with her forefinger. Her eyebrows perked up as he spoke of the three night full moon festival gala. Not hearing much of such from where she was from it peaked her curiosity. “This festival ball. It is like a celebration of sorts?” She quickly looked about as she took note of the villagers about her while they were starting to set up the decorations in the square. It looked very eye catching and a small smile was brought to her face before she turned her bright azure gaze back to Hal as he explained his title a bit better.
“Ah, adventurer. I suppose I am such now since I have ventured outside of my borders.” She confided with a small shrug of her shoulder. Once she knew that it would be alright for her to be accompanied by Hal, she was led to Padarak’s Crystal in the town square. The necklace around her neck did not sense the same sort of energy that she beheld in her kingdom. She gently palmed the crystal as if she tried to get a read from it but smiled sadly as it were not the same. Unfortunate to think that her people could have been separated and thrived elsewhere before her kingdom was buried by the ocean. Perhaps the traders died out. Needless to say, Kida would continue to find links of Atlantian survivors elsewhere above the surface.
Once she stepped back and continued walking with Hal; he showed her about the town square as they passed anything of substantial performance. Of course there was a question or two she would ask him about when he introduced her to either tradesman or shop owner to which she felt satisfactory with his answers. Kida smiled and nodded when she saw the envelope as Hal explained the invite. As the castle’s shadow approached them as an overpowering goliath of grace, Kida stopped to stare in awe. She had not seen such structures before. Kida was so mesmerized by the palace that she almost did not notice that Hal spoke to her. “I’m sorry. It’s just so beautiful.” Her hand went to brush several strands of her white hair behind her ear in embarrassment.“Will you run the farm when your father is gone or will you remain an adventurer?” She curiously inquired. She knew that her own father was weak. He did not have long and she knew that she would have to return to her kingdom to become queen of her people. It was expected of her, she wondered how Hal felt about his situation since theirs garnered some similarity.
Halahk Padarak Adventurer (Templar) "I will be our sword."
Sylvanas Maid/Noble (Castle St. Padarak) "Wherever you run, my arrows will find you."
*Deleted Scene 5-7: Kida Take 1* [Castle Padarak, Hallway] The full moon festival that St. Ivalice is hosting is has a Spring theme. When I was old enough, my parents allowed me to step out. They're pound of me setting out alongside the Padarak Caravan & they'll let me know if they need any help. Anyway, here we are. Padarak's prince, Anduin, is currently away at the moment. Would you like to dance with me at the party? Upon arriving, Hal could see Sylvanas working.
Welcome back, Hal. Oh, I see you have company. I'm Sylvanas. A Noble maid of Padarak & my class is Ranger. Sylvanas went over to see the guest that Hal brought.
This is Kida. Sylvanas, please tidy her up and have her ready for tonight's events.
Sylvanas bowed towards Kida. Welcome, Kida. Please come with me. Sylvanas then began to escort Kida to one of the Bathrooms of Castle Padarak. Once Sylvanas & Kida were inside, Sylvanas closed the door for privacy. *Scence change: Sylvanas, Castle Padarak, Hallway to bathroom* [Castle Padarak, Bathroom] So, Kida. That's a nice necklace of yours. Sylvanas set a towel on the floor for Kida's bath before getting the things out. Accessories can go on the counter & dirty clothes can go into the hamper. The Great Crystal Nations has several Family Trades, not just Farmers. Sylvanas then filled the bathtub with water and added bubble bath mix to it.

[ Castle Padarak, The castle halls then to the bathing chambers ]
Kida listened in silence as Hal spoke, nodding every so often in comprehension about what he said of his parents. He still did not answer her question about if he would go back when his parents were gone though. Perhaps he was sensitive about the thought of losing his parents. He was still young so that was normal, perhaps his parents were young as well. She knew her father was not so she was mentally and emotionally preparing that he could pass at any time if he fell ill or his heart gave out. As Kida looked around at the castle’s gates she took in the detail of them in shorter time than before to be mindful about how much she let her awe distract her when it came to new things. Her silvery blue eyes moved back over to Hal when he spoke of the prince. She gave a quick nod but still had a question about Anduin.
“Is Anduin the active royal in this kingdom or are there others? Is he on an adventure or quest?” She inquired. Kida did wonder if Anduin had other royal family members that resided in Padarak. Kida paused as she stopped walking as she gripped her bag; embarrassed. “Well I do not dance the same as you might. I am from very far away. We have not accustomed to other cultures for some time. I am on a quest to venture out to gather information of other nations and kingdoms from the place I come from. I am to record it all down in a journal for when I return so that my knowledge may be passed down to future generations.” Her eyes looked about curiously as she spoke while seeing people who walked about the castle take notice in her tribal appearance. Perhaps they thought of her as heathen? She did not know whether to be upset or embarrassed. It seemed though that one of the castle folk was approaching them. Kida at first did seem to take a defensive step back out of her nature for being cautious. Her sandals were soft and barely made a sound against the castle stone floors.
Slyvanas introduced herself as a noble maid and ranger. It seemed as though from who she met so far had two jobs; much like how she was in the city though because of her people’s dwindling numbers she did take on a couple more as ambassador if anyone were ever to possibly get out of the clutches of the leviathan. She felt goosebumps prickle as she could still hear the guardian of her city trying to get at her. She could not remember how she even exited the city, she remembered her father showing her a hidden room. She followed him to the room but then all she remembers is a blue flash then falling in and out of consciousness. Kida did not realize she looked almost in a daze as she tried to recount the events of how she could have possibly left her beloved home. It was all that she ever knew.
That was when Hal gave an order to Slyvanas to get Kida cleaned up, deep inside her she felt like they now saw her as a strange wild uncivilized creature. Instantly she felt rage boiling in her chest. Kida threw a white hot glare of displeasure to Hal before looking over at Slyvanas. “So you do this with any stranger that comes into your kingdom or only the ones who look dirty?” She felt offended but followed Slyvanas, resisting to be escorted as she felt she were prisoner instead of guest. It was not like she was given a choice in the matter and that upset her plenty even as a traveler.
Kida was already not starting to like how everything seemed to be going far too fast for her or even the fact that she felt like she had no control of what she could do here. Was she a prisoner? “Don’t touch me if you know what is good for you.” She hissed as she deflected any advances towards her because of Slyvanas. Once they were in the bathrooms of the castle, she would have been interested if it were not for her feeling like she was being treated like some exotic animal that was to be captured and preened to be part of the kingdom’s people when she was only temporarily staying. When Slyvanas spoke of the necklace around Kida’s neck she grabbed it protectively. “It stays on my neck, always. My people all have them. It ties us to our crystal. It looks similar to yours but it is not the same.” She stated that of its importance to her and left it well at that.
As Slyvanas prepared the bath she set her bag down and her spear as she approached the female with still a guarded expression. Did they know that their kindness also seemed rude? Or were they not fully aware of how she could feel from her point of view? There was only one way to find out as Kida approached the noble maid. “Noble maid Slyvanas. Why am I encouraged to participate in such events tonight when neither you nor Hal know well enough of me as a warrior and I do not have an invite for them? I only just arrived to this new nation and I feel as though you are treating me as if I don’t belong here or even as if I have expectations that I am not aware of. It is very confusing and a bit upsetting to me that I feel this way. I just want to understand and to be understood.” She did her best with trying to articulate her feelings even though she was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Her hand idly went towards the side of the tub as she inspected the bubbles, popping a couple with her fingertip as she waited for the noble maid to answer. The smell that wafted up into the room was pleasant but Kida could not easily describe how it made her feel. The closest that she could come up with was a light feeling in her stomach.
Sylvanas Maid/Noble (Castle St. Padarak) "Wherever you run, my arrows will find you."
*Deleted Scene 7-7: Kida Take 1* [Castle Padarak, Bathroom] Sylvanas then explained more about the invites. The invites say that we can bring as many friends as we want. You're welcome to come to this party if you like. The crystal necklaces here in ivalice are either great crystals or elemental crystals.What would you like to learn about? We have a Library in Castle Padarak. Sylvanas then explained about the Castle's guild hall and its quest jobs that they have posted after that she answered Kida's questions.
Sylvanas then sighed after answering Kida's questions. What kind of a warrior are you, Kida? I would like to see everyone look their best for this night and the next 2 nights. Sylvanas then told Kida about Ivalice Island's history and about the Great Crystals & Elemental Crystals.
Prince Anduin Padarak Prince (Paladin) "All it takes is a step forward."
Sylvanas Maid/Noble (Castle St. Padarak) "Wherever you run, my arrows will find you."
[Castle Padarak, Hallway] Anduin carried Weiss to Castle Padarak. Upon arrival, Anduin set Weiss down. Here we are, Weiss. Castle Padarak. Do you like my castle? Then Anduin saw that Sylvanas was working hard.
*Character Restart, Take 2: Sylvanas* VHS Effect: PLAY
Sylvanas finished dusting the vases on display. Welcome back, Prince Anduin. Sylvanas saw the girl with Anduin. She had silver hair, ice blue eyes & was wearing a sail sheet tied with rope. My name is Sylvanas, I'm a noble maid at Castle Padarak & my class is Ranger. What's your name? Sylvanas said this to the girl, hoping to make a new friend.
Anduin introduced Weiss to Sylvanas. Weiss, this is Sylvanas. Sylvanas, this is Weiss. Sylvanas, please tidy up Weiss, along with giving her something nice to wear as well as something to eat.
Right away, majesty. Nice to meet you, Weiss. Would you like to be friends with me? Sylvanas said this to Weiss while escorting her to the bathroom. Once both girls were inside the bathroom, Sylvanas closed the for privacy. *Scene Change Sylvanas & Weiss: Castle Padarak, Hallway to bathroom*
Ballador Padarak Adventurer (Crusader) "Forgive me, but I must halt you here."

Time Card: Later... [Castle Padarak, Hallway] Ballador after the practice dance with Aspen, Ballador blushed as he and Aspen were holding hands. Thank you, Aspen. Ballador gave Aspen a light kiss on her cheek.
Aspen, would you like to see your room in Castle Padarak in the meantime while we you & Ballador wait for the carriage to be ready, and here. Naisha returned Aspen her glasses after cleaning them.
