Re: Locke's Ranch (BlueSlime)
Celes read out the description of the fight's purpose aloud over the dinner table while Locke cut up bits of his grilled fish into manageable bites before putting them into his mouth.
"I think as long as I have Marla and Raven with me, I'll be relatively safe. But I guess we need someone to objectively judge me who has seen ranchers come and go for a while," he said thoughtfully in between forkfuls of fish.
A knock at the door interrupted the meal and they all looked up to see Mika standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hey Mika, come on in," Locke said. "Thanks, that's very gracious of you. Would you like some fish? We have a little extra."
Locke wasn't certain that he wanted to discuss the details of Mika's stay on the ranch just yet, preferring to stay focused on the test match tomorrow, but she was welcome to simply have dinner with them.
"So Marla you already know, but this is my ranch partner Celes and this is my Black Harpy, whose name is Raven. Don't get the wrong idea, this isn't going to be an exclusive harpy ranch, but fate just happened to bring the four of us together. The ranch maybe small now, but if we can clear out some room and put together bigger facilities, I imagine we'll be able to have quite the healthy and populous yard of mamono here. Of course, the idea is to run the best ranch around eventually. I guess you could say it's a big dream for a guy like me, but I've got some good helpers already, and maybe with you here for a month, my ranch will get better, hmm?"
Celes marked her place in the ranching booklet and set it down on the table in front of her. Leaning forward with a smirk, she eyed Mika. There had been a question burning away inside of her that she wanted to get answered.
"So Mika, if you'd won your duel against Locke, what would you have made him do~?"
"Huh? Celes! There's no need to go into that!" Locke said, looking rather embarrassed, though whether it was more for himself or for Mika's sake, even he didn't really know.
