"... And with today's early afternoon news. Paddock Street and Jouko Street in Center Downtown will be closed as the military will be busy fortifying the area. All shops and land owners will be given PSA's to give to their employees and paying customers in the event of an evacuation."

"Man, things are really heating up huh? You know, the knock off Starbucks I go to has a tank sitting in front of it now?"

"Really? Well the Salon I go to now has sandbags on its front."

"Yeah, and the good view I used to have on the Park is now covered! And have you seen the army tents they've put up on the park?"

"We'll save that for later. Now, to Goblin Weather by yours truly, the lively Meteorological Expert of the city! Sir Spinexus!"

"Yellow Zavalda! Today's weather is expected to reach the positives finally! With the coming days, you should expect the temperature to finally hit the tens! Though we are still seeing a bit of formation of snow clouds right here in the Kingdom of Gareth north of bus, and the cold front coming down from Schon."

Eating chips while lazily resting his entire body on the sofa watching TV. General Paul yawns as Bahamut in her small Dragon form snuggles up to his neck and yawns alongside him. He looks up at the digital clock on top of the flatscreen and it indicates the time is 1 in the afternoon and the temperature has hit a flat zero.

"M'Lord, I'll be back later."

"Be careful."

Alana in a civilian outfit bowed, wearing sneakers and denims with an oversized shirt, she walked to the two resting people and gave the General a quick hug, squeezing his tired head and then she gave Bahamut a quick chin scratch and scurried off to the exit. Elizabeth on the other hand casually struts over to the kitchen. Opening a cabinet and then a fridge. "My Lord, I'll be on a trip to the city in an hour. Will I be able to find you in the city hall?"

"No... haaaaa... aaaahhh..." he stretches his arms out, while arching his back forward. "I'll be in the police station if I ever get the motivation today. I spent the entire night planning and oh! We might be getting two new people to join us today!"

"I shall keep that in mind. Oh, and it's pretty rare to see you lazy, My Lord. You always seemed to be on the edge of overworking yourself."

"It's just part of Asian culture. What happened today is an anomaly."

"Do enjoy your break, My Lord. I've been seeing your work day by day and you deserve to take a breather for now."

"We'll see. I might still go to work. Just a bit very late. I'd rather not wait for the permission to go to the Mana Core in the office, way better here. I can wear whatever I want and eat!"

Elizabeth then kisses the top of Paul's head and scratches Bahamut's belly as she returns to her room with food and the two go back to nonchalantly watching the TV.

"Master, can you sharpen my claws today?"

He then turns his face to look at the small Dragon snuggled up to his head and neck. "Why are you even in your Dragon form today?"

"It's cold. I want to feel the natural heat of my Dragon body, Master."

"... Later. Let's watch some more TV first."

After a few seconds, Bahamut once again looks up to the General.

"Master, you like High Heels right?"

"I do. But it doesn't really matter if you don't wear one."

"Since... I've been trying out more modern clothing and shoes, slip ons feel very nice."
