::Iole giggles, but a stern glance from her Auntie quiets her immediately. She looks back to Galeon::
Well you've at least earned something to eat. Besides, I can't very well send you on your way looking like that.
::Now that the fight has ended, Galeon gets a better chance to evaluate himself and realizes he's not only exhausted from the mana burn-out and the physical exertion, but he looks a downright mess as well. Even more infuriating is before the clone had been sucked into his haste vortex, not a single strand of her perfect black hair had fallen out of place::
I need to go start supper. Iole can tend your wounds.
Iole: Sweet! I finally get to practice what Eva's been teaching me. I don't have her "touch" but she did show me it's amazing what you can do with a potion and a few bandages.
::The girl starts leading Galeon by the hand back into the manor::

Galeon's stomach growled as Natalia mentioned food.
" Hehe Thanks Natalia..."
He was then grabbed by the hand by Iole who almost dragged him back into the manor to try out what Eva taught him. He gulped as he thought about the possibilities.
" How much did she teach you Iole?"

::A while later, Galeon is on the couch with Iole beside him, tying yet more bandages around his torso. He also has them around his chest, his shoulders, and along his arms. Some of the areas she's treated didn't even really need immediate attention::
I... think I got it right. How do you feel?

Galeon looked down at his almost completely bandaged body and smiles.
" I feel great Iole! Thank you!"
He smiled standing up and flexed a couple times feeling how his body actually felt. Iole may have overdone it but she had done a great job.

::Iole blushes::
Well I have nothing on my big sister, but I try.
::She stretches her arms::
That was pretty entertaining watching you and Auntie go at it. I just can't figure out why you're so driven to beat her though.

Galeon looked back to Iole.
" Her and I have been fighting and taking jabs at each other for as long as I can remember....She is one of my biggest rivals..."
He smiled at her.
" It's one of the things on my list of things to do, to defeat your Auntie and gain her respect...Then she cant undermine me anymore like she seemingly does all the time..."
He laughed a bit as he thought about it.

So you're trying to get as good as her.
::She frowns in thought for a moment::
I think I can understand that. Kind of how I want to be just like Eva.

Iole, dinner's ready.
::Natalia enters, back in her silk violet dress. How she managed to cook while wearing that, they may never know. Iole grins at Galeon before skipping out of the sitting room, headed for the dining hall. When Galeon starts to follow her, Natalia places her hand on his chest and pushes him back onto the couch::
Not you.
::She stands over him with her arms folded and an apprehensive look on her face::
First you're going to tell me why you came here. Taking jabs at each other while we're on the battlefield is one thing, but this is where I live. Now just what were you trying to prove?

Galeon blinked as Natalia pushed him back onto the couch and asked him what he was trying to prove coming to her house and challenging her, or her shadow clone, to a duel.
" Well...I was just trying to prove that I could keep up with you in a one on one type situation...It's different on the battlefield here there's nothing else to get in the way or hinder either of us from going full out...."
He smiled a little bit hoping Natalia wasn't going to kill him right then and there.

::Natalia taps her foot impatiently::
You didn't answer my question. I know what you were doing here. What I don't understand is why you wanted to do it. The others can be just as strong as I am. And they would be more hesitant to kill you. What is your hang-up on trying over and over to outdo me?

Galeon looked at her and pondered the right answer to give her.
" I don't have the same rivalry with the others...You and I have been through some of the same things, though you've been through a lot more then I have...But the whole Jenova and Jezebel thing...Plus all the battles we've had with each other and you've always come out on top...So I want to outdo you at least once...If possible..."
He looked to the floor as he spoke to her.

How do you know about.... Cherai must have told you.
::It's the only way she can explain him finding out. Cherai was the only one so far that had ever learned of Jezebel outside of Freya. She looks at Galeon again, staring at the floor and she feels very conflicted all of a sudden. In Freya she was worshipped and praised by the dark elves, but it was empty and meaningless. It was a different feeling in this world to know that her opinion actually had value to someone::
Galeon, I'm not exactly someone to look up to. If it's my respect you've been after all this time, you have it.

Galeon blinked looking up to Natalia.
" Really?"
He smacked his forehead with his palm again.
" So I just got my a-s-s kicked by your shadow clone for nothing..."
He laughed looking at all the bandages Iole put on him because of that fight. He then looked back to Natalia.
" You have a lot of wisdom and intelligence of course I look up to you in a way...You have a lot of powers I could only dream of having..."
He smiled as he created a small ball of fire in his hand and a small ball of lightning in his other.
" These elements as the only ones I can control even a little bit...."
The elements disappeared and a small purple ball and a small orange ball, Ultima and Flare, appeared in his hands.
" And these are my strongest spells...Your variety of spells are amazing..."

That's not what I meant Galeon. I don't respect you because you're a skilled fighter or a powerful magic-user. I respect you because you are not ruled by that power. All this time you've been searching for power, it hasn't just been for sport or something trivial. You've been trying to become stronger so you can control that power so it doesn't harm those you care about again. You've done it to protect your friends. You're kind, and you have a strong sense of right and wrong. Some would call that very admirable, I call it astounding.

Galeon looked up to Natalia again.
" Oh...I understand..."
He smiled as he realized that Natalia had actually respected him the whole time and just liked to beat him up. He laughed to himself as he stood up and hugged her quickly.
" Thank you..."

::Natalia is caught off-guard, holding her hands out nervously, unsure of what to do. Deciding firmly against returning his hug, she settles for patting him on the head::
Just so we're clear, we will never speak of this to anyone.
(OOC: I like to picture Iole in the background, hiding to get herself a good blackmail photo)

He laughed at the pat on the head.
" You've got that right!"
He smiled as his stomach began to growl again.
" So about that dinner?"
