[She looks at what Penelo's holding.]

I don't think it's a native of Gaia, nor is it native of Troia. I haven't tried to do anything with it. Were you thinking of cooking it?

From:

[Cecil smiles back, inclining his head in greeting, and his eyes settle on the gourd potato.]

Perhaps if we asked the merchant..?

From:

[To Rosa.] I was. I enjoy cooking new foods. [To Cecil.] That's a good idea. I'll do that.

I should introduce myself. I'm Penelo.

From:

[Rosa smiles.] Well if you find a way to use it, will you tell me? Finding new dishes and ingredients is half the fun here.

I'm Rosa Farrell. It's very nice to meet you, Penelo. [It's hard for her to remember everyone she's spoken to on the Sky Phone network. Maybe they have and she doesn't remember. She'll blame the illness if so.]

From:

[Another incline of his head.] I am Cecil Harvey. It is also a pleasure.

From:

[Penelo's not been around long enough to realize just how important her newest acquaintances are, so there is no reaction of note to their names, other than her friendly nod.]

It's very nice to meet you both. I'll be sure to share the recipe if I figure out one for it.

Do you both live here or are you just visiting too?

From:

[Noting the lack of response to their names, Rosa glances at Cecil momentarily. It's nice in a way; Penelo isn't automatically wary of them or stiffly respectful.]

I'd appreciate that.

No, we... we live here now.

From:

[If he could read her mind, he'd agree with her; it's a nice feeling, but he meets her side glance and smiles, a hand lightly resting at her lower back.]

It is as Rosa says, we've taken up permanent residence here.

From:

[Not hard to notice Cecil's hand going to a personal and protective place on Rosa. It's sweet and makes Penelo smile all the warmer at the pair. There's something so intimate about the gesture that she assumes they must be settling down together.]

I can see why, it's such a nice town. And I'll know where to send the recipe.

From:

[Rosa seems to lean into the touch, enjoying being close to Cecil again, and she smiles again. At least things are peaceful again.]

We won't be leaving. That will make sending it easier, yes.

[She glances around a little bit, taking in the town of Troia once more.] This is a town from our world. We thought to aid its protection while we're here. I'm glad you like it, as well. Will you remain here long?

From:

[Cecil smiles once more and lets his gaze wander, looking off towards the castle in the distance. A thought strikes him then.]

Have you had the chance to visit the Black Chocobo Nursery, Penelo..?

[He has a feeling she might enjoy it there, even if just in glancing through.]

From:

I wish I could. I think I could be happy here. [Truth be told, Penelo can be happy almost anywhere, because she's determined to make herself so.] I think the others plan on leaving soon, but I'd really like to come back here.

[Mention of the nursery gets a nod and a smile.] I did. A local took me by to visit. The chicobos are precious. I wouldn't mind having one for myself.

From:

Where are you planning on going?

[Rosa glances at Cecil with a smile at the mention of the chocobo nursery. It's a good place to go when one is feeling down.]

Who was it? Did they tell you their name? [Not that Rosa really minded, but she was curious.]

From:

Perhaps I may be able to speak with the owner of the nursery and grant your wish.

[He smiles; it would be a wonderful little gift, he thinks.]

From:

Oh, you're very kind, but there's no way I could afford one right now.

[Naturally her mind gravitates to arranging a purchase, not a gift.]

Oh yes, she did mention her name. Her name was Rydia. [She's not expecting them to recognize it.] I'm not exactly sure where we're headed. Mjrn said something about a place called Lindbloom? She had some business there.
