[Though there had been no initial time limit placed on their visit to Warjilis, it seemed to have been extended indefinitely. Balthier had been so concerned with other matters since their arrival that he had yet to take in the sights, something he had decided to rectify at last, and precisely why he now found himself at the port, admiring the ships of various shapes and sizes docked there. The craftsmanship, so different from what he was used to in his own Ivalice, was certainly something to be appreciated.]

I can see how one could easily feel at home here, particularly those who are unable to travel. [He managed a reserved smile as he mused aloud.] The rest of the world comes to you willingly in a place like this.

Here! Take this! [The image comes on just in time to show a moogle shoving the sky phone into the hand of a man in dragoon armor.] Now you'd better get out of here, kupo. I don't like this place!

[The man doesn't follow after the moogle, though. Instead, he examines the sky phone in his hand, and the area he's standing in- the remains of a battlefield.]

This isn't Arubboth... [He glances around at the bodies and wrecked war machines that litter the area around him.] Huh. Looks like it ought to be hell...

Looks like fate's got more in store for us.

[Steiner meant to filter this to SeeDs only, but kind of botched it, so it goes out to the entire network.]

It is my duty to inform you that Miss Selphie Tilmitt is currently incarcerated for assault and attempting to evade arrest. This is not the first time a SeeD has provoked violence in Alexandria. I certainly hope it will be the last!

You may collect her in two days' time, or else I shall take her back to Galbadia Garden myself. She may not travel anywhere in Alexandria without an escort ever again.

I trust you understand the leniency of this sentence. If it happens again, I shall hold the entire Garden personally responsible.

[Action in Narshe]

[Odd really that Ceodore's not done more with Palom before now. In a lot of ways, the trek into the moon seems years ago and not just months. They'd played together as children for a while, and when that was discontinued, the black mage had passed from thought until circumstances found them mutually descending into the depths of a celestial being trying to wreck their home. Even then, Palom usually spent any time not fighting monsters fighting off the cacophony of Porom, Leonora and Luca all hammering away at him at once. Remembering that, Ceodore grinned, grateful for the respite to his own ears. Either way, having the chance to visit with an old old friend without girlish nagging, fight strategies, or fretting mothers would be nice. Not that he didn't like spending time with Ursula, but seldom did he have the opportunity to hang out with a guy his own age, or near enough so.

Sneaking a glance at the clock, he picks up the phone and calls Palom to see if his airship's shown up yet.]
