Luria was giving herself a look over with the new knowledge that she has more than arms, hands and a neck. She had legs and a body and a head, all of which she was just figuring out. As Estelle began to stroke her hair, so did Luria, mimicking actions as well as attempting to mimic words. That one they all kept saying especially.
Vera just began to answer them in order, seeing no other way to explain things.
"You're right, she can't speak yet. I didn't expect this to happen though. But hey, I did just make her this morning, I probably should have expected this."
Now to Estelle. Vera took note of how much the girl was learning from this large crowd, and it did her heart good to see it.
"I actually just met Yuri this morning as well. I helped him locate a lady friend of his, and he said he would recommend me to Brave Vesperia. We parted ways at Zaphias, and I think he's still there."
Luria gave a smile for the first time, seeing Estelle do it, and she understood why soon after. Smiling was something that gave her a funny feeling that was good. But she still couldn't get that word down. Maybe after a lot of hearing it again she would. There was one thing she had gotten down already, and that way what happy was. Other than that, she was clueless.
Vera began trying to think of a way out of this, since Estelle had just spoken of introducing her to Yuri. Luria clearly wasn't ready for that.
"I think I should educate her a bit more before she meets Yuri. Where can she be taken to learn how to read and write? Or, as something else, I would love it if she learned how to defend herself."
She turned to address the two female knights.
"Could you two help her with that?"

Estelle smiled as she listened to Vera, but couldn't help but giggle when Luria mimicked her actions of stroking her hair. She stopped, and simply stood there smiling. "I didn't mean now. That would just put stress on her. " She muttered, before listening to the rest. She had to learn how to read and write? She remembered the times when she did, but how would one explain it to the replica? "If it's too much trouble for them, with their job as knights," She began, having noticed their clothing, "Then I could take on the job as well." But then again, wouldn't three people be a bit overwhelming for her? She didn't want to do anything to hurt the girl. So, she reconsidered, "I'll help if their jobs get in the way of it, that way the girl doesn't have to wait too long. "

"Sure, we could do that," Chastel said, smiling brightly. The two of them visibly relaxed after Estelle's assurance, so they weren't as tense as before... just rightfully so in the presence of royalty.
"We're on vacation right now, anyway," Hisca continued, waving off Estelle's offer for help. "For about a week. Our Brigade insisted. The question would be, though, what kind of weapons would you like her to use?"
"And if you want to teach her artes. It's going to be a lot tougher now since there are no more blastia."
"And if she's anything like her... hm... well, I guess you can say 'Big Brother,' in this case... "
"Hisca... "
"Right, right. If she's anything like Yuri, then she'll have absolutely no skills in spell artes."
Chastel only sighed, shaking her head. It hadn't been what she meant, and she knew Hisca knew that. What could she do though? Hisca and Yuri had never had a solid relationship. Something more akin to the love-hate kind, where they were really more rivals than anything. At the same time, though, as she watched her twin speak, she knew that the other redhead was excited about getting to see Yuri again after so long. She, herself, felt that way.
"Lady Estellise is correct, though," Chastel continued. "We shouldn't let them meet quite yet. Luria will only get unneeded stress."
The two redheads exchanged a look again: Luria being a replica seemed the most logical of all the solutions. If that were the case, however, there wasn't any doubt in their mind that any sort of DNA was likely obtained by force. Secretly, they were eager to see how Yuri would react to this whole thing.

Raven had almost forgotten about the news he had for Karol. He had to tell Karol his next mission. But why him? Well, He had too. So he was on his way to find him. Soon Raven found him along with Estelle, The twins, Vera, And.... Yuri? That wasn't Yuri, Unless he teleported there magically and then grew boobs. Out of all things that could have happened, Raven certainly didn't expect this... " Mind explainin' this to your old man? " He asked confused. He had forgotten all about telling Karol his guilds next mission. Obviously it was from cloning but if they were going to clone him, Couldn't they have made another boy? This wasn't hot or cute, It was just freaky! And that wasn't something you heard from Raven everyday.

Luria turned to the new voice she heard, and found out it was attached to a person, and that the person in question was somewhat different than the others. The small one and the man had nothing growing on the front of them. Did she? Quick observation said yes. What was the difference between the two of them? Oh well, she was still learning what the others were doing. It was about this time that Vera pat her daughter on the head and stood herself up.
"It seems like you all would be better for her than myself." Although Vera created Luria as a sparring partner, she did ins herself caring. Caring wasn't something she was used to. She had to get away, before she became too attached.
"She would be safer with you than myself. Boss, I'm going to go search for some guild jobs. I'll check up on her soon though."
With that, she left the group. Luria was unaffected, as she didn't know the woman. She was more interested in what was going on with the others. From the sound of things, they were talking about her. How she knew? They kept acknowledging her by looking or motioning at her.
What were they talking about?

[still crappy. ]
Estelle smiled and patted Luria on the head, not ruffling her hair or anything of the sort this time. She was just trying to help the girl feel safe. Vera just left, and really, they couldn't stop her. But now she felt a responsibility for her, and she was sure the others did as well. "Well...we need to change her out of these clothes, I think. It would be bad if by first glance they mistook her for Yuri.." She pointed out. Yuri didn't mean to, but he seemed to make enemies quick. And it would be best if Luria didn't get wrapped up in all of it.

"H-Hey, wait a minute!" Hisca yelled at Vera, though it was all entirely useless as the Krityan just... left. She just left the replica... clone... Yureplica... (that's what she'd call her!) all alone here! Didn't she make Luria? Good grief!
"Long story, short," Chastel said to Raven, forcing something of a weak smile, gesturing towards Luria, "This girl is, ah... Yuri Lowell's clone."
The twins watched Estelle, Hisca nodding in agreement to the pink-haired princess's statement. Chastel searched through her packs, picking out her own spare dress, similar to the outfit she was wearing right now. Hisca and her owned little else... or at least, what they did own was back in the castle right now, except without the sleeves. Those were Captain-only.
"Well, Hisca and I have our spare Knights' dresses... people won't think Yuri Lowell joined back up with the Knights."
"They'll also think this girl is too pretty to be him," Hisca sighed, shaking her head. Then she yelped as Chastel smacked her upside the head, glaring at her sister. "What? It's true!"

Estelle smiled, "She can wear that for now. But I suggest that we buy her clothes of her own. I'll pay for them!" She didn't want the others to think that it'd be all their responsibility. She helped Luria up to her feet, and giggled. "Here, I'll lead her to the store. Let's go!" She was sure to be slow, so that the girl would not stumble. She was a replica, so she didn't understand movement that well yet. She would need as much help as she could get. "Come on, try to take a step on your own." She let go of her, staying close incase she fell.

Raven scratched the back of his head and listened as Estelle and the two knights spoke. " Why don'cha just give her a pony tail? " He shrugged and looked down at Karol as he spoke. " Wouldn't they still mistake her for Yuri by her face? " Karol asked and opened up his bag, Taking out the world map. " We shouldn't give her our clothes, But I've heard there are really good clothes in Aspio... " He said pointing at the map where Aspio was. " We could walk there, And maybe also buy her a weapon there. " A one day old kid with a weapon. Not so smart....

"You're a natural at this, Lady Estellise," Chastel said, watching the princess with the replica. "And you don't have to! Really, I'm sure we can help pay!" Goodness, how could that Krityan just leave like that? Without even another change of clothes? Ah, this was going to get complicated really—
"We are not dressing her up like some stuffy researcher!" Hisca snapped, promptly smacking Karol in the back of the head. "That's so... so... ew! No one should look like that!" Those stuffy cloaks and hoods... ugh. She didn't want to think about it, for she was sure that she'd get some weird images in her head.
"If we dress her up in something else," Chastel said in response to Raven, "It shouldn't really matter. I mean, no one will recognize her if she's in something Yuri himself wouldn't normally wear. I mean, not right away, at least."

Estelle watched the replica carefully, while listening to the others speak to one another. She would definitely need cute clothes. She tried to think of what she'd look good in silently. "It does matter! It has to look good on her~" She seemed to really be having fun with this, "And, I don't mind, really. Don't worry yourselves about it." She reassured them with her signature smile.

" Ow! " Karol yelled as Hisca hit him in the back of the head. He then lifted up his index finger as he came up with a better idea. " Why not go to Capua Nor? No one would ever expect Yuri to wear a dress! " He smiled. Raven knew an even better place, But Yuri had the boat that they needed to get there. And by the time they even stepped foot into the city they would probably have many enemies following. Or they would crash into the ghost boat again on their way.

Luria watched them, wide eyed and interested in whatever the topic was. She had no idea how to inject herself into the discussion, nor did she know what it was about, but by god, it was the most interesting thing she'd ever heard. Then again, she hadn't heard much in her life yet. Still, she was curious about what they all were doing.
She took a few steps, slowly realizing the concept of walking thanks to Estelle. What a marvel! She could go anywhere like this! But, she didn't know where anywhere else was. In fact, all she knew was this spot right here. The understanding of walking made her smile again, proud of herself. To her, this was a big accomplishment.
But then, she saw how some of the others were acting. What exactly were the two that looked similar holding? Why did one of them touch the shorter one with force? What was 'ow'? All she hoped was that her questions could be answered soon, because she really did want to interact with everyone.

"Good job! You're doing wonderfully!" Estelle complimented as Luria walked around without a single stumble or even imbalance. She let Luria lean a bit against her after a while, knowing that she'd get exhausted easily from all this, considering this was her first time at everything. And plus, her gaze turned to the others, and she didn't want her hurting herself. "All of you, try to be on your best behavior. Please remember that ... Luria... is learning from our example. " She nodded her head when the idea satisfied her. Luria was like a newborn child. If they did the wrong thing, before they knew it she'd be cursing, or acting like a snob. They'd have to be very careful.

"Capua Nor?" Hisca repeated, giving Karol a blank look. Then she actually thought on the suggestion. Thinking... Thinking... huh. Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea, after all. She clapped her hands together. "Sounds like an awesome idea!" She frowned a little at Estelle's instruction to behave... last she checked, she was being perfectly alright! Well, no... maybe that punch to Karol's head had been a bit of overkill... but cut her some slack!
"She's learning really well already," Chastel said, smiling rather excitedly. "Judging from the rate she's learning, she should be able to talk and stuff soon!"
"I don't think she should be taught how to use a sword for a long time, though... "
"Agreed."
