I. Hands On Work | Gridania - Carpentry Guild | [Open]

Investigations were something Reeve had only passing skill with. Mostly he was the sort of person who knew how to trust in the sorts of people who were good at it. Perhaps it came from knowing Turks. And sure, perhaps he was capable of being a spy at times through Cait Sith, but...

Well, this wasn't a place that Reeve was quite sure he knew how to spy on probably. There was so much cultural weight and context that was needed in a good spy or information seeker, that much he was pretty sure of, even if he didn't know just what that information might really entail. Either way, he wasn't going to be good at that, so he might as well learn something, right? Right.

Gridania. It was a beautiful place, one that Reeve and Mini liked from the word start, and shortly after arriving... Well, he knew what to do. Which was why Reeve was here now, humming to himself as he worked on an early project of building a table. Did he need a table? No. But was knowing how to make one useful? Yes. Very much so. The basics can always be scaled up, and it was more about learning the work with his hands, to further what he'd learned in the Iteration.

Still, he was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face enter. Another He Row. He offered a nod, and a hopefully unremarkable gesture meant to beckon them closer without seeming strange for an apprentice to be calling to someone else.

II. Betting On The Birds | Gold Saucer | [Open]

The Gold Saucer. Reeve had only first come to the place because of the name. Because of how that name evoked the idea of home. He wasn't expecting, though, that the place would be so familiar. So similar. There had been games he'd seen before through Cait Sith's eyes, and decorations, and chocobos.

In a way, this was the closest he'd felt to home in two and a half years. Perhaps that was what brought him here, to the Chocobo races, to sit there and watch with a smile, as the birds raced around.

"You know," he said, sipping at a glass of something vaguely fruity with a pleasant bubbling sensation, "this reminds me of my friend Cloud. He breed champion chocobos. Everyone wanted a bird from his breeding lines. Never understood why he moves from that work to deliveries instead."

III. It's All In The Cards | Gold Saucer | [Open]

Being at the races only served to make him think of people and places he could not easily get back to, so maybe it was easier to walk away. That was what Reeve had done to justify his wandering the Saucer. In the end he'd found himself here, looking not at the words of games he might have toyed with back home, but contemplating a starter set of Triple Triad cards.

"Alright," he said to the young employee who had just finished explaining the rules. "And you say this tournament has a prize to it?"

That sounded like something worth looking into.

"I guess I just need to find my first match against another registered player then. Who knows, maybe I'm a natural."

And speaking of another player, he turned away from the employee and registration desk, and his eyes set upon another of the Agrii's guests.

"Don't suppose you've taken to this card game."
