[action in luca]

[It was hard to believe just a few days ago she had been in Tida, when the sun first beamed down at her and she first smelt the smell of the sea. Well, maybe it was. She had the more valuable reminder being the drop of myrrh, in the chalice still attatched to her waist via satchel, bumping against her leg. The other was the least useful - a scar or two. Despite healing herself, being healed and what not, she had the scars to prove she'd been in Tida, several knocks and bruises, a bandage on one arm and a bandaid across her cheek. It was mostly precauation; most of it had healed now. But Ritz wanted to be sure.

Well, it was partly why she was here in Luca. A bit of sun should do her good, was the logic, before she set out again. It wasn't all purely holiday, either - she had several papers in her hand as she left the airships behind, maps and written legends about the area. Leads on myrrh and their respective trees, specifically. Chasing rumours. Her wellbeing and her plans to possibly knock that wellbeing off balance again. Two birds with one stone.

The sun was certainly welcome after the dark and eerie air of Tida, if nothing else. She strode the streets with ease, following maps and directions and just walking where her feet took her.

Even, perhaps, walking past someone she didn't immediately spot, who she had talked to when she first arrived on Gaia.]

[Adamant on making the announcement herself and with composure, Ashe holds the device with a practiced, steady hand. While she appears calm, dignified, anyone who knows her well will recognise the effort being made once she begins to speak.]

My husband... has been returned to Ivalice.

[Most will know what his return actually means, but she makes no reference to that. This time there's a marked difference in her grief. No tears nor pallid exhaustion, only the hint of a determination in her eyes - to bring those who have toyed with Rasler's life to justice.]

[When Terra turns on the sky phone, she's seated with a road-weary moogle trying its best to stay awake on her lap.]

It's time to collect myrrh again. This moogle just returned from the city ruins of Tuscon Wastelands and found a myrrh tree along with a powerful creature nearby.

[She glances down at the moogle.]

Do you know what it's called?

No, but it's nasty! I almost died! I won't go there again, kupo.

[The moogle shudders and Terra pats her new friend reassuringly.]

You won't have to. I'll get some friends together and we'll take care of it.

[She looks back to the screen.]

I'd prefer to go sooner than later, so please hurry if you're interested.

[The video feed comes on to show two unfortunate Alexandrians in stocks right out in the main square of the city. One of whom is one of her own soldiers. There is impatient tapping of Beatrix's foot on the cobblestones echoing before she speaks, and obviously she's got a message to impart to the network and the locals who are gawking with hushed whispers.]

If anyone else wishes to place a wager on His Majesty's duration of stay in the country, I have ample room for you.

[Seriously folks, do you want to tick this woman off?]

I have heard from recent merchants that the mines of Goug have spawned a Myrrh Tree. 'Tis said a rabid chocobo guards its drop. I will be leaving on the morrow to vanquish the foe and collect the drop, yet I fear I will be unable to tame this beast alone.
