Koma, Grenn, Valentus, and Mizune will be mechanically riding the vehicle while Juni uses flight discount. At the Northern Land border connecting at the three point intersection between the northern lands, central lands, and southern lands a brilliant royal purple hover car was slowly cruising while playing a catchy tune through the highest quality sound system that was gold plated by design. In fact, the entire hovercraft was different from the vehicles the Dandelion Clan owned in the garage, it belonged to Juniper’s pigbeast demon brother Yerba “Ma-Te” Tea, and Koma was taking it out for a spin across the mainland. On the leopard print driver seat was Koma, Daimao of the Dandelion Clan, and heir apparent to the White Cat Clan of Samurai. Next to him was Hachiko Tea, whose reputation was different from Juniper of the Dandelion Clan, and was widely known as any Tea descendant; a suspected concubine to the public knowledge of western land society, only a few people who knew the truth, were aware that she was still the first wife. In the distance, she made out a particular silhouette, as the hovercar slowly crept up it was someone Juniper knew but not Hachiko. “Hello, stranger. Need a ride?” The ash skinned, horned demoness beckoned Grenn, she sensed familiarity in the crimson eyed saiyan’s ki signature but found it difficult to pinpoint. To Grenn, he would have recognized her as Juniper, after meeting her once in the Central Lands, but he would realize this alternate visage far different from what he remembered.

Grenn was walking along the road, he had recently separated from Clove while travelling, reassuring the Demoness she'd meet with her at her place, after all Grenn wanted to take the time to actually experience this journey now that he had basically no obligations, besides he wouldnt have wanted to slow her down knowing Clove was more then able to reach her lands way faster then he ever could.
as he was walking by he noticed a familiar figure driving a...peculiar looking car, as the car stopped by and the person spoke uo Grenn immediately recognised Her voice, he surely couldnt forget the first friendly face he met. His face curled into a wide smiley grin and looked at her seeming actually pretty happy "Juniper?? Is that you?? Man you've changed alot, almost didnt recognise you, its me Grenn, remember me?? The guy who drinks blood and all" Grenn seemed to have come to terms with his blood drinking needs a long while ago, as he gladly hopped on the car with a smile nodding his head slightly bowing at the driver in a thanking motion since he didnt know them "Thank you, really appriciate it... Man its been so long, why are you guys passing by? Going west by any chance?? also who is your driver friend?" Grenn chuckled with a small smile as he relaxed knowing this journey was actually gonna be more fun then anticipated, also looking at the driver curiously.

The Northern Lands were vast, and so, it took the trio of Valentus, Paizu and Mizu several days to make their way from the vast forests and wastes of the north to the edge which separated the region from its southern neighbors. The intersection between Northern Lands, Southern Lands and Central Lands was squeezed in between Central City and Northern City, and as such were a bit of a population center. The more temperate climate compared to the North certainly helped as well. So, the trio spent more time visiting villages than trekking through uncharted wilderness, and since they had made a little bit of money on the side while helping out villages in the North, they could afford themselves better food, fix up their clothes, and even spend a night in a motel. Setting camps was still the usual standard, but it did not hurt to break up the usual pace every once in a while. " Alright, I believe we've crossed it," Valentus was speaking to his fairy, pointing out the road intersection they passed over as they continued heading west. As he was still fairly unfamiliar with Earth's geography and Mizu couldn't remember anything past the moment he was freed, they had to rely on Paizu for directions. " So, we should just follow the road from here on out, right?" " Yeah, pretty much," the fairy replied. " But I mean, as long as we're going roughly in a Western direction, then it should be fine, right?" Valentus did not answer, however. His eyes focused on something in the distance - there was a car on the road about one hundred meters forward, fancy looking even from such a vast distance. Three energy signatures were around the area, and one was quite familiar. " Oh, that's... Miss Juniper!" Valentus called out, then glanced to Mizu, not expecting the beastman Saiyan to know who she is. " She's... a friend of mine, I suppose we can put it that way. We've met a while ago. If she's travelling to the West, too, then maybe she can pick us up?" (345 words, total 345) (Total thread words: 831)

Mizune was following close behind his big brother, eyes and ears always on the lookout for any trouble. While he enjoyed their freedom to go where they pleased, the young beastman was always looking behind his back to check if any other of the bad tuffles were going after them. They never showed up but it always good to be ready for trouble to catch back up with them.
The fox was of course holding Valentus' hand in his paw in his usual clingy fashion as they walked. The tuffle didn't seem to mind the intimacy and was quite adept at playing the big brother figure. Which was exactly the reason why Mizune was super scared of losing his family. Not that it would happen easily considering that he could pretty much track his big brother with his eyes closed, considering he knew both his scent and energy signature.
Mizune tilted his head to the side when Valentus mentioned Juni. "I know her." He replied to his big brother. "She helped me with protecting swans." the fox would add. "She's weird."

While it might have looked like Koma was actually in the driver's seat, he was not. Indeed, while it looked like him wearing a pair of overly large sunglasses, the actual Koma was in the front sleeping cabin of the low rider. Yes, it had one, with the engine in between the sleeping cabin and the main area of the low rider.
As the others spoke to Juniper and towards Koma's doppelganger the half-saiyan samurai woke up and scrambled out of the cabin. Shirtless, and just in his track bottoms, he soon was yawning – and at Mizune's comment, he responded simply; “Weird? Mightly judgemental of you; should knock you upside your head.”
Then he snapped his fingers, “Gilbert and Gerald, get out of my seat.” he spoke, and soon there was a puff of smoke and where before there had been 'Koma wearing sunglasses', there was now a pair of raccoon dogs, one of which sat down on Hachiko's lap and the other one of which pushed up its sunglasses up and then hopped on the dash, doing an exagerated pose as if it was a dash ornament.
“The rest of you, if you want a ride to the Western Lands get in now. Make sure the Fairy doesn't spill any dust about.”

Hachiko’s eyes changed to a cobalt blue, when Grenn mentioned Juniper, and she blinked curiously until they were crimson once more. It seemed that this man helped the Dandelion Princess in the Central lands in the past, her sister Clove Tea, had mentioned him a few times as well including the unchivalrous nature of a descendant of Korin double teaming him in order to win, yet the half saiyan stood his ground admirably. "I have heard good things from Clove Tea, Grenn-san."In the distance, she detected the familiar aura of Valentus, a red haired teenage boy she met in Jingle Village, and next to him was the red fox beastman who she never met---except he had an opinion on a noble. The demoness grabbed the manual stick of the hover car, speeding backwards, and coming to a complete stop. One of the tanuki landed on her lap, but Hachiko launched herself at the red fox beastman, gripping his neck with her clawed hands, and baring her fangs at him as she hovered over his snout with contempt like a bat out of HFIL. “How dare you have a foul opinion on a Princess descended from Grand Duke Oolong of the Western Lands, cretin.”It was at this point that Koma rose up from his nap, he was not as affected as Hachiko, and he offered to knock him out since he deserved it as if it was optional. “Tch. Mangy beast.” Hachiko grimaced, releasing the fox creature, and then offered a wave at Valentus with a devilish smile. The killing intent radiating from the grey skinned, red tipped horned demoness, was evident in her chaotic aura. Anyone who was weaker than her in power level would feel the slight nausea it would cause for a brief moment until she suppressed her ki to diffuse the situation. Hachiko took a seat in the passenger side next to the driver. It was her turn to nap, though she wondered how Koma managed it with music going, and they were both sensitive to sound.

Grenn smiled, basically just listening in, it seemes that she had changed considerably.. maybe it was just a demon thing...huh.... "o-oh uhm, yeah me and Clove have a big friendship i guess heh, believe it or not im actually going west to become a samurai retainer under her" he smiled as the car immediately back tracked, him not expecting it and quite clearly making him slightly uneasy since he wasnt that used to it
he then noticed the aggressivenes Juniper or well,,who he thought was juniper had developed just snapping out of nowhere on someone he wasnt even sure it was actually worth getting worked up on, he blinked awkwardly for a few seconds mumbling to himself "..one heck of a change allright.." from this moment grenn kind of just stood silently simply bowing as a greeting to Koma, only to notice Juniper's ki spike up for brief moments before toning down, Grenn who wanted to sign up for a nice long ride rather the na blood bath kind of stared at Juniper and the others before sighing again
"Can we...try not murdering each others please?? Im thankful for the ride i mean it but i'd like it if we just...dont fight until we get where we need to..." he rolled his eyes a little with a slightly annoyed look, he hoped this wouldnt really anger anyone and actually get to them, also hoping he wasnt attacked in the process considering he didnt wanna fight anyone even remotely related to Clove.
after the small interaction Grenn decided to shut himself off to avoid further uneasy dialogues, as he just...limited himself to listening and possibly ignoring everyone there unless directly spoken to.

Not long before Valentus mentioned the familiar ki signature in the car in the distance, it suddenly began to backtrack, approaching the three travellers. It was certainly a fancy vehicle, colored in a rich purple and the seats decked out in expensive leopard print. Smooth and comfortable, and it gave the Tuffle memories of his childhood on Planet Plant. The noble House of Nectarine were certainly no strangers to fancy vehicles. Valentus did not have time to admire the design for long, however. As soon as the car came close, Hachiko leapt out, inflamed by Mizu blurbing a bit and calling her "weird" - before the Tuffle could react, she was already strangling the Saiyan beastman with her clawed hands. Paizu immediately lit up with enthusiasm. " Fight! Fight! Fight!" she yelled. Maybe Mizu will get the snot beat out of him for once? Valentus, meanwhile, intervened immediately. " W-wait!" he called out, placing his hands in between Hachiko and Mizu, and stopping in front of his friend once the demoness backed away. " Mizu wasn't trying to say anything bad about you, miss. It's just... a slip of tongue, he didn't really mean it." Hopefully, that diffuses the sudden spike of tensions, even if it left Paizu disappointed. Valentus offered a hand to Mizu to help him up, and made his way to the car. There, aside for Hachiko-Juniper and two raccoon dogs, were two other passengers - one was picked up by the Duchess' car right before it backed away to the trio, while the other was shirtless, barely woken up, and already commenting on Mizu and on Paizu. Clearly, he has been riding for a while. Paizu was not happy with the comment - she folded her arms and mimicked the black-haired man's attitude. " Of course, don't worry about it - judging from the attitude of your both, you've been inhaling enough dust as it-" The fairy stopped, however, after receiving a light flick to the side of her head by Valentus - which immediately got her to hiss and clutch onto her head, but also got her to keep silent for now. " I'm sorry, she usually isn't very good at talking to people," the Tuffle apologized for her, then raised his finger. " You must be... Koma, correct? The Duchess mentioned you back in Jingle Village." She also attached a few more titles to his name when mentioning him, but those dropped out of Valentus' memory. Ah, well, it shouldn't matter that much, right? It's the name that matters. The Tuffle then offered a glance to the other passenger. " I don't think we're familiar... Well, then nice to meet you! My name is Valentus, and this fairy is Paizu." (444 words, total 789)

The demon had it easy considering there was Valentus there defusing the situation. If the tuffle hero was not there, then Mizune would have smacked the assailant square in the face for coming at him like that, as seen by the cracks on the ground his aura created by flaring up into combat mode. If anything, the fox's words were confirmed by the demon's behaviour.
Mizune moved closer to his big brother, his tabi boots making little sound as he did so. The young beastman kept his eyes on the assailant but remained mostly silent and holding Valentus' hand in his paw, waiting for him to tell him what to do. He was the better one at public relations and he was usually the one that did most of the talking.
Squeezing his tuffle brother's hand a little tighter, Mizune eventually calmed himself back down to his usual docile if quiet demeanor he had. At this point he was just really wishing to follow Valentus around and help him in his endeavors.

“Listen here you dirty winged wench! Lord Koma, Lady Juniper, and Lady Hachiko are patrons of the Shortbread Tribe of Fairies, and you will show them the respect as such!” came a voice, which before had seemed like it was just a red headed bobblehead on the dashboard but now was moving and very clearly just a differently sized fairy. “As one of their retainers from the Shortbread Tribe, I will not allow another fairy, especially a dirty uncontracted fairy to insult their honor like that. So say something like that and I will pull your hair out!”
She was red and flailing by now, the dashboard bobblehead sized fairy, and Koma blinked at her. “Shortbread, I appreciate the assist, but it's unnecessary.” He nodded, “I am Koma of the Dandelion Clan, yes.”
He then shook his head. “If you'd like a ride to the Westernlands, get in. As I said, make sure your fairy doesn't get dust on anything, Fairies tend to get very territorial around their contractees. As to you, Mister Weird? You and I might be having a discussion about manners later, but for now so long as Lady Hachiko does object – you may get into the vehicle. But if you ever insult my wife again in my presence or otherwise I will be duty bound to remove your... tail. That looks like something you value.”
And then he reached into the glove board, and pulled out a pair if sunglasses.

When Grenn suggested not murdering anyone Hachiko hissed at him with sharpened fangs. Demons were chaotic by nature, it was with great difficulty that the Tea Clan princess was forced to split her persona, in order to become Juniper. Paizu was entertained the entire time, encouraging a fight, and Valentus immediately interfered. In the end, Mizu learned his place, so she remained settled in her seat of the hover car even after Koma made a casual remark to remove the fox beastman’s tail if he stepped out of line again. Just like demon clans having disdain for each other, it seemed the fairies of earth were also overzealous with each other, and Shortbread said her piece after meeting Paizu. It was an awkward first encounter for everyone, Koma remained calm, offering a ride to the pair of teens to the western lands. It was not often that someone had the audacity to speak about a Princess so rudely before so her reaction was a common one for a demon. [169] [752]

Grenn rolled his eyes at the demon hising at him, demon i guess..should have been expected. the male saiyan simply offered a hand shake to about every new person as he nodded to greetthem also looking to Paizu and the other fairy, he blinked a little and smiled seeing the situation was mostly calm, knowing better then reply to Koma's remark.
Grenn sighed and looked at Koma introducing himself "Nice to meet you Mr. Koma, Name's Grenn, Heard about you a little from clove, soo glad to meet you" The saiyan calmly smiled as he looked at the new arrivals making a bit of space..
after a few more seconds looking to valentus seeming the calmer one of all of them nodding slightly "Pleased to meet you and your brother aswell, So what brings you both on the path for the Pig duchies??" Grenn would have also looked at the fairies for a few seconds, it wasntthat often he'd get to see one...in fact aside a few rare occasions a whole lot of years ago he never really met any, he seemed pretty curious.

As soon as she heard the voice call out straight to her, Paizu widened her eyes. Shooting a stare with nigh-murderous intent, she was about to take off and strangle the fairy who just said that - but, thankfully to everyone involved, Valentus grabbed her by one of the wings and pulled her back, placing her in one of his hands. It was a fairy serving Koma and Juniper's clan, from the Shortbread Tribe, who not only dared to demand Paizu to show her respect, but also shat on her in the worst ways you could possibly insult one of their kind. Paizu was fuming, and glared at the Shortbread freak with fury. If she had spoken, she would have certainly yelled something in the likes of " You kowtowing whore, I'll rip your head off and feed it to the nearest fly trap!". But, those words were left unsaid. " Please, sir, there's no need with the threats. Mizu did not mean anything bad about anyone and he won't say so again," Valentus defended his comrade yet again, after Koma threatened to rip off his tail if he ever dared to insult the Saiyan's wife again. If he were perfectly frank, the Tuffle would bring up that it was Hachiko who escalated almost to first degree murder while all Mizu did was to say that she was "weird" - moments after explaining that they worked together to protect swans, too! Tensions were already high, however, and it was Koma and Hachiko's car, so the Tuffle just let it be. The other Saiyan introduced himself as Grenn and reciprocated to the greeting - though, not before calling Valentus and Mizu "brothers". Before his friend could get any ideas, Valentus shifted his eyes to the side and answered: " Uh, me and Mizu aren't actually brothers..." Though, to be fair, it would be a leap to assume that the orange-haired knight and the red-furred beastman were siblings if it weren't for Mizu constantly calling him "big bro". Hearing Grenn's question, Valentus struck a faint smile. " I am not travelling to the Duchies specifically, they just happen to be on the way. Me and Mizu travel the world to help people in need! So, we hop from place to place, and whenever we hear a report that someone is in trouble and is requesting aid, we head there straight away!" (392 words, total 1181)

Mizune's eyes widened slightly at Valentus' comment. His ears and tail drooped slightly, but he didn't let depression grip him. It all just meant he needed to work extra hard to be the bestest brother ever! He would make super duper sure about that! He'd work super duper hard, yes yes! Make Valentus proud!
Throwing himself at the tuffle's neck, Mizune decided he wanted more cuddles. He summarily ignored Koma, didn't care much about the guy. If he wanted to fight like his weird spouse, fine by him. He could use the training. Besides, he wasn't wrong. Just look how weird whatever her name was was behaving? If she was supposed to be a princess, then wouldn't she be all posh and poised and nice? That's how princesses should behave.
"Me and big bro Val aren't related by blood, but we're still brothers!" He quickly objected. "You don't need blood to consider someone family and blood should stay inside your body anyway!" the red renard would add, cuddling closer to the tuffle as he took care of answering yet another question properly.
