Noticing Cherry's mannerisms, Ecquis gets a small grin as he decides to see exactly how interested she really is. "You should. Caelum parties have a host of food prepared most of the time Several different styles of fish, each with their own spices and flavors, perfectly seasoned roasted pork, and an assortment of delicious fruits. There are also a few other specialty dishes that depend on who's organizing the event, but those are also very good," Ecquis says, closing his eyes recalling some of the dishes he had seen.

"Is free food not to your liking? If I recall, you were quite content with the bread we had in the cart. The food at the party is likely to be leagues better than that. So long as you don't go off trying to steal any belongings, all the food you would like is yours to enjoy."

"Very well. Dash? Cherry? How about you two?" he asks, thinking about something all the while.

"Well Terrin, if I do run into any of them, I'll be sure to let them know that you couldn't come. Though thinking on it, Aisha may be a bit surprised that we know each other, but she may be glad to know you're around and doing well," Ecquis chuckles a bit before looking through the room. "So then, is anyone else interested in going to the party?"

"Beatrice's mansion huh? Does that mean she'll actually be joining the party? That's surprising," Ecquis remarks, recalling some of the stories he heard about Anna Beatrice. "I'm looking forward to seeing Clara again as well. I'm curious as to what she's gotten up to in the past few years."

"That's right. It should be good to say hello and see how she's been faring," Ecquis remarks, stretching a bit as he relaxed in the room. "Incidentally, where is this party going to be held at?"

Ritsu Having relocated inside the barracks, Ritsu decides to continue some of her maintenance, while also being aware of her surroundings. She'd rather not have someone else trip over her and interrupt her diagnostics.

Ritsu "Forgetful and inattentive. I'm just glad none of my co-workers have that combination. Well, maybe that isn't entirely accurate," Ritsu muses, thinking back to her time at the mansion. "Also no, I do not shoot laser beams," she answers in a flat tone before seeing how crowded it is in the courtyard. "Seems like things are getting busy out here. At the unlikely risk of someone else tripping over me, I'll be relocating to the barracks," Ritsu tells Magna before warping to her destination. Ritsu warps to the Barracks.

Ritsu At her comment, Ritsu ran a quick scan of Magna, and was somewhat amused by the results. "Your eyes aren't what they used to be? Does that mean that you had them at some point?" Ritsu asked in a bit of a joking tone. "At any rate, I never agreed to being called Rizu, but I doubt I can stop you. Anyways, what were you doing before you tripped over me?"

Ritsu "Rizu? What exactly is that supposed to be?" Ritsu asks, now turning her head towards the thing that bonked into her, which turned out to be Magna. "At any event, I decided that this was a good spot to rest and repair myself. The better question is how did you managed to trip over me? Unless you're just inattentive, I find it difficult to think that you wouldn't notice me here," Ritsu asks, turning the rest of her body towards Magna.

Ritsu Having finished the battle with Berserker, Ritsu took the brief period of downtime to lounge in her lion form. She hadn't done so in quite a while, and she needed a change of pace. She ended up situating herself near the barracks, where she started some self-diagnostics to make sure everything was working as intended. However, her diagnostic was interrupted by something bonking off of her. "Hrmm?"
