Earners

LunaStarr jerked her foot back from the water, almost falling out of her chair and spilling her drink. “Tide's coming in,” She frowned over her glass at the waves in front of her. The sun was starting to set over Costa del Sol, beach chairs being emptied in favor of bar stools.
“We should get dressed and get ready.”
Ninyashi stretched and yawned. “Yeah, any moment now that stupid bell's going to chime, and then it's all, 'So what kind of fish is it this time?' ” The last part spoken in a nasal tone.
Luna stood up and bowed to Nina. “This cat has brought you a present, madam." She did her mock-greeting then held out and empty hand to the Au Ra in front of her.
Nina smiled at the Miqo'te, then changed to an exaggerated scowl before continuing her impression of their master. “ 'And what manner of junk is this you brought me? You know food and blankets are for earners.' ”
“Oh madam, it's a new stick for you, that you might replace the one currently shoved up your--”
They both shared a shudder and chuckle as the chime of a crystal bell was heard from their Venture's linkpearl.
“Speak of the devil..” Luna sighed.

The Idyllshire rain beating down on Lunaris Starchilde did little to improve her mood. Nor did the look on LunaStarr's face when she arrived. “Please tell me you brought me something worthwhile.”
Luna bowed and presented a long wrapped box.
Lunaris opened it to find a Madman's Whispering Wand. “A stick!? What am I supposed to do with this!?”

LunaStarr sneezed from the smell of hay and bird in the chocobo stable. The straw that made her bed for the night poked through her clothes and itched. “No sense of humor, that one.”
Nina shot Luna a look. “Couldn't keep you mouth shut, could you.”
Luna smiled at Nina before reaching behind herself to grab a rather large flask. She poured the contents into two ceramic cups and handed one to the Au Ra. “At least she let us keep the blanket.”
