A young woman of around 19 is standing in the middle of a courtyard, a large mass of water displayed out in front of her. Her eyes are closed and her hands raised, weilding a staff of intricate design. She wears a loose kimono, first the color of white then fading down to the color of dark blue. There are patterns of flowers on it too.
She sighs heavily, then opens her eyes. She reaches a foot out and carefully puts it on the water. And, by some miracle, she stays firm on top. She begins walking out to the middle of the lake, staff now stretched to her side horizontally. When she arrives at the middle, she sighs again. Apparently she was nervous.
After a while, she raises her staff high into the air, beginning to twirl it in an arc. She moves her feet in a detailed pattern, almost as if she was dancing. The water begins to rise from beneath her, though slowly. As the water increases in height, her dance becomes more complicated. She swings her feet outward many times, still twirling her staff as she does a couple of turn-arounds. Anyone watching this would probably gaze in awe.

Infero stood watching in the corner. In this world, he looked somewhat out of place, with his red robes, his strange hat, and his sword at his side. His calm, green eyes examined the scene before him as his silky white hair blew in the wind. A girl was dancing on the water. He wasn't exactly sure what kind of magic was holding her up, but he was taking a guess at White Magic. He was unfamiliar with this place, but it seemed similar to home.

Jin stood there with hisa hands in his long red coat.His bright, mako eyes seem to observe the woman who was dancing on the water with a staff in hand.He thought it could be some kind of ceremony or ritual.He didn't know what kind of magic she was using,but just by looking at her it seemed to calm Jin down.
He observed her every twirl and swing of her staff as it became more complex.The water started to rise as Jin's eyes widend.He had never exprience anything like this.What was most beautiful of the dance was the setting sun that gave the woman a small glow.
Jin impressed started walking away from him position and closer towards the woman so he could have a better view.

The blue kimono the woman was wearing fluttered with her movements, rising up slightly, then gently waving down. The water surrounding her made the flower design on her skirt stand out. The flowers were called Yunas, a very rare flower found near riverbanks. What was ironic, though, was that this young woman name was also Yuna. Her dirty light-brown hair rose and lowered with her dance and her eyes sparkled. One of them was green and one was blue, which made any newcomer curious of how she acquired these traits.
After a while, the dance slowed down to a meer tapping of the feet, as the water beneath her subsided to the stillness that is once was. She sighed heavily, lowering her staff and smiled. For some reason, it looked like the dance had taken a lot out of her.

Jin leaned his back on a nearby house.He oberved her from beginning to end as he noticed the dance took alot out of her.He gave a small smile as he slowly walked up to the woman.He could tell the people around her were amaze,but who wouldn't.He stopped for a moment and stared at her once more.Something caught his attention when he notice her eyes.One of the emerald and the other sapphire.What a wierd trait?Is this girl special? Jin thought as he started to walk again
The villagers were cheering for her screaming her name out and such."That was beautiful Yuna."one of the older men yelled out.Jin slightly looked towards the men as he had a orange cow lick type of hair.He had a blue headband as well and yellow clothing.Jin didn't stand out to much as some of the villagers were talking about him behind his back.It didn't bother Jin too much as he finally reach the woman."That was very nice Yuna"Jin said

Infero remained in the corner, till watching Yuna and now Jin, lowering his hat so one couldn't see his eyes. You could feel the enigma coming from him. It made sense, as he was always quiet, even around his closest comrades Kang, Blade, and Jess, the other Warriors of Light in which he had the honor of calling his closest friends.

Yuna walks toward the courtyard and finally lands on hard ground. The magic is what must have held her p on the water, because after that, she sighed lightly again. She looks up at all the people congratulating her and bows to each and everyone of them, smiling. he offers comments like the occasional "Thank you" and "It was my pleasure."
She turns to Jin and bows to him as well. "No, thank you for watching, I've never had this much of a crowd before.." Her green and blue eyes sparkle again.

A dashing man approaches from the side. He wears quasi-regal looking clothing consisting of padded black leather pants with some unsual shoes on the feet. On his torso, he wore a long sleeved white shirt with a gold and dark blue vest covering it. His hair was almost golden as it spiked up. He smiles rather charmingly at Yuna.
"That was quite lovely, lady Yuna." The man says with a bit of a British-like accent.

Infero shook his head sadly. This Balthier man was quite good looking, and his approach was smooth, but his intentions seemed rather obvious....at least to Infero. He was a decent judge of character, a skill that he developed in order to prevent himself with dealing with the wrong kind of people.

Yuna turned to Balthier and smiled sweetly.
"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it."
She bowed to him as she did the others.

Balthier puts his hand behind his head and looks at Yuna confused.
"If anything, I should be bowing to you, only such a vision of beauty and grace could have done that as splendidly as you did."
With that Balthier gives a bow of his own.

Jin looks to his right as his mako eyes narrowed at Balthier.Jin showed no reaction towards him.JIn sighed a bit as he caught somebody else in the corner of his eye.He stared at a man who was wearing all red.He isnt from here just by looking at his clothes He thought looking back at Balthier.Well seems i can't get a word in anymore since Yuna would probably just stare at him cause of his good looks He thought giving as he took a deep breath.He turned around and started to walk slowly.
The people seem to be very grateful towards Yuna it wondered Jin a bit,but he didn't show much interest in it.His mako eyes looked at the man wearing red again.He noticed he had a sword strapped towards him and thought he must be skilled.Jin closed his eyes and sighed again.

Yuna looks up, surprised at Balthier's reaction, but she chuckles softly.
"Thank you..." She says quietly. She weaves a hand through her hair as she takes a big breath and lets it out. It looked like she was tired.

Balthier immediately notices this and smiles at Yuna.
"Well it appears you are a bit exhausted, not that I blame you...I imagine it took quite a bit of energy to perform that brilliant dance. So until we meet again..."
Balthier steps forwards, twirls Yuna around gracefully, takes her into a deep dip, and then returning her upright while backing away. Balthier has a roguish grin on his face as he does this.
"May everything you do be as beautiful as you my good lady." Balthier says with a smug grin and then begins to walk off

Yuna stands there idly after Balthier walks off, a majorly surprised look on her face. Since he was already walking away, she thought it was best to stay silent, but her eyebrows raised curiously as he watched him walk away.
After a while, she rolls her shoulders in a shrug and slowly begins to make her way to one of the smaller tents nearby.

Before Balthier gets out of vocal range, he turns back and shouts to Yuna.
"Oh Yuna! I forgot to introduce myself...the name is Balthier...I hope to see you again soon, perhaps we could dance together some time..."
Balthier then turns around and begins to walk away at full pace.

Yuna couldn't stop from chucklng at Balthier's last comment. She turns around and gives a small wave, then turns back shaking her head with a small smile on her face.

"An obvious flirt. Watch out for him, miss. He looks sauve and gentlemanly on the outside, but I can tell he's a dirty customer."
Infero finally walked over, his green eyes revealed from underneath his hat.
"I am Infero. Your name is Yuna, correct? An impressive display of White Magic. That was the Float spell, correct?"

Kail saw the girl dance on the water, He was mezerised by it beacuse he never saw that in his world or magic or monsters from miths and fairytales of old. As the dance ended he saw the girl came back down on land and was talking with what looked like a pirate or some thing like it. And a man dressed in red with white hair. Kail walks to the girl as he was walking up to her, he saw the distruction around him.
" Hellow there " Kail speaks to the girl. "Your dance was garceful and sad at the same time" he says. "Why is it sad" he asks.
