mooglenet_backup[A tiny stowaway arrived this morning on an airship from Wutai. She's decided not to announce her presence to the returners this time, instead just looking around the city for somwhere to eat. They have thier hands full with Locke anyway.
Relm's brush moves across the paper quickly as she finishes her meal. As she goes to pay, she discreetly plucks three coins from the sketchbook and drops them into the innkeeper's hand.
It's only a few seconds after she's left that they dissolve into paint and water.]

[And for once, this is the truth rather than an appeal to emotion, though the fact that it's also a focus for her abilities isn't something she's forgotten. Without it she can still animate her pictures but they wouldn't be capable of much in the way of destruction without using more magic than she actually has.
But mostly? It's all she really has here that she associates with her grandpa. Her voice takes on a whiny, pleading tone.]
You're gonna give it back if I paint good enough, right?

[He turned to start off towards the castle but paused to glance at Relm again.]
What's your name, anyway?

I'm Relm. Relm Arrowny. You got a name, Tail?
[She's maybe kind of grasped from Steiner's words that she's speaking to royalty right now. But she certainly doesn't care. If the 'helpless child' act didn't work then sucking up probably wouldn't help anyway.]

You should be grateful that the king is so forgiving!
