[Action for Vivi]

[waitedinwinhill.livejournal.com]

[Raine's standing in the doorway of Dali's lone tavern with her hands on her hips and a dish towel slung over her shoulder. Slai was helping in the tavern, but took off after a while to play, without finishing the cleaning task she was working on. Raine would be more tolerant of it, but she's having a moody sort of day.]

Slai? Get back here and clean this up!

[A few minutes after Slai's return, a small shadowed face with big yellow eyes and a large hat peers in through the tavern door. It seems to think it's being sneaky.]

[Raine leans to one side, seeing a small (if unusual) face in the doorway and waves.]

Hello there. Looking for something?

[He holds out a small plush chocobo doll.]

Um. The- The girl who came back here. She left this.

[With a small smile, Raine holds out her hand for the toy, then squats down to Vivi's level. It's something of a trick given the size of her stomach.]

Thank you. I'll make sure she gets it.

I haven't seen you around here before. Are you visiting someone?

[morehatthanmage.livejournal.com]

Um. I- I came here to see the factory.

[waitedinwinhill.livejournal.com]

Factory? What factory?

[morehatthanmage.livejournal.com]

The- um- the Black Mage factory. It used to be underground here. It- it's where some of my friends were made.

[waitedinwinhill.livejournal.com]

Black Mage... factory?

[Raine's utterly confused now. She didn't know anything about a factory, much less one that makes mages. And she's already got some hefty fears of magic users thank to the effects of sorceresses in her life.

Standing up now and motioning Vivi inside.]

Why don't you come in and have some cake?

[morehatthanmage.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. I'm worried someone might be using it.

[He fidgets, weighing his distrust of this town against the promise of cake.

Cake wins and he stumbles inside quietly.]

[waitedinwinhill.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of a factory, much less one that makes... mages?

[Raine collects a slice of the fresh fruit topped cake she's serving today and takes it to Vivi. Slowly recognition comes to mind. He's the little guy she talked to before.]

[morehatthanmage.livejournal.com]

It- um. It was here before the sky people were. People from here used to work there.

[waitedinwinhill.livejournal.com]

Did they?

[Raine frowns. She hasn't heard anything about this before now and it bugs her. It's like the whole town is keeping a dirty little secret.]

I think we've talked before. About bundt cake?
