Hey, pretty cool!

[Nevermind Edge. He's fiddling around with the linkshell, a little sidetracked, and probably not really focused on the main issue at hand. Well, not apparently, anyway. But behind that mask, Edge presses his lips into a thin line and he stares straight at the shell thing, gaze with a purpose.]

I'm uh. Kind of stuck in Damcyan—don't ask!—but really, I have to hitch a ride back to Eblan as soon as possible before the Seneschal kills me. Not literally, but you get the point! I'm a pretty busy guy, you know!

[But his emotions right now is a mixed bag—from confusion, to excitement, to worry, and everything else in between. Altogether it's a little overwhelming, but imagine how it feels for Edge who's trying his best to hide it behind that mask, as usual.]

King Bard's not helping much either— [Well actually, he's not there at Damcyan at all but Edge really isn't the person to divulge such a thing to everyone, okay. He has his boundaries.] —but I'm hoping one of you guys'll be willing to help out.

Anyone? Cecil, did you grow a beard yet? I bet your hands full with Rosa, heh! And you still look pretty as ever, right Rydia? I hope you're still not brooding, Kain. I mean, I know I'm good at that too, but you're threatening my title!

[Yup. This is pretty much a soliloquy, courtesy of Edge. Expect more from him in the future. 8)]

Yeah, I gathered as much from what I've been told.

Do you know anything about her father? I'm assuming you're clued in more than we are, at the very least.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

...We think her "father" might be on one of the moons, but we can't be certain, because we don't have the means to go there.

[Yeah, it sucks not having a cool airship.]

Right now, we're focusing on our efforts to figure out what should we do now. Kain refuses to go to Baron due to his personal reasons, and I'm trying to teach people from other worlds how to use magic in our world.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Then we better make do and focus on figuring things out here, first. I'll be heading to Eblan myself, so don't worry too much about Baron. It's on the way.

A teacher, huh? Didn't see you as the type.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot, Edge.

[He grins at that last part.]

Well, someone has to show them how it's done. I am Mysidia's best Black Mage, after all!

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just remember to teach them how to do some other spells other than turning people into pigs and toads. We've got enough of that in the world as is!

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. We've got enough frogs in Mysidia as it is. And it's funny, coming from the man who gets toaded on a regular basis by Rydia.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm telling you this! I can't even chance another poor soul into the same situation as me. It's not like I do anything most... times...

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe if you stopped trying to come on to Rydia so much, she'd stop toading you so much.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's not that often!

Even I have my boundaries.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you do.

[Rolls his eyes.]

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Man, harsh...!

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

[Hey, it's Palom he's talking to.]

Yes, it is.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

You're bullying the King of Eblan, you know! That's bound to have some dire consequences, if I wasn't as understanding as I am now.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

[Not happening.]

You're not acting very kingly right now.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

...

I'm beginning to miss the pipsqueak version of you more and more now.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

I bet you're wishing that Porom would smack me on the head just like old times, are you?

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Wait, she doesn't anymore?

No wonder you're out of control!

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Well, you can blame it on her gaining some maturity.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Remind me to be careful around you from now on.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

I bet you said that to Rydia.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

False!

How could I say something like that to a girl? You misunderstand me.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Oh? I thought a summoner that summoned Bahamut was someone to be careful around.

My mistake.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

... okay, so I thought it.

That still doesn't mean I said it!

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Right. I believe you.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

This skepticism is disheartening, Palom.
