[It's early morning in the gardens of Alexandria Castle, and the camera is focusing on a particular patch of grass with several wooden signs around it. They read: KEEP OUT, CAMP TOZUS, and BEWARE OF GNOMES. If you look closely, you can see that Tozus has grown beyond a camp now; the gnomes have been busy constructing new buildings and all in all they're doing rather well.

An Alexandrian soldier is standing guard over the village. She salutes.]


Sir! The people of Tozus have voted-

[But what's this? A shadow falls over the scene. Steiner looks up to see a gigantic airship bearing down over the gardens.]

An airship-?

Alert the castle! GO!

[Penelo's not seen that airship in a couple of years, but she recognizes it nonetheless.]

That's the Galbana!

Uh sure. We used to fly it. I haven't seen it in two years.

Is... there anyone inside?

Hmm. I suppose there wouldn't be.

[So disappointed! She was hoping for one of the Aegyl. Or Vaan.]

I'm not too far away, I'll come pick it up.

video - Never got this notif... ugh

It's called the Galbana and it belongs to the descendants of Feolthanos. Me and my partner piloted it for one of them.

I'm the navigator for that airship, you can't just keep it. It's got very special controls and I'm the only one I know that's familiar with them.

I'll be there tomorrow.

[As promised, Penelo shows up at the gates of the castle the next day. Edward came with, as there's some logistical problems of what to do with two airships. She'll probably sell the old one. Fortunately, the soldiers seem to remember her from the time she ran the little cafe out in the square. They'll just chit chat while waiting for a message to be passed on to whomever at the castle that the mysterious airship has someone come to claim it.]

[Edward was speaking with his beloved until the Captain of the Pluto Knights appeared.]

Ah, Captain Steiner!

[He greeted the other with a smile.]

It's good to see you again! I've heard there's been some minor discrepancies between Penelo and you. I can assure you that she means no harm.

[Penelo nods politely to the captain and even drums up a smile. It's not lost on her that somehow she was stuck inside his head that day she was passed out. That and she knows her place for the most part. She's just coming to pick up an airship for a friend.]

I'm just here to pick up the Galbana.

[He replied to Steiner with a nod.]

Indeed, I can! The Galbana is a vessel that Penelo and her friend, Vaan, spoke much of during their time here on Gaia. You see, these two are "adventurers", and that ship was found by them outside of the Royal City of Rabanstre.

I do believe that ship resonated with a magical gem that they found.

[Edward took a quick glance at Penelo.]

Correct me if I'm wrong, love.

No, that's right. The auracite is what powers the airship.

[Edward blinked his eyes several times in mild confusion. This conversation is already starting to circle about.]

The auracite they possessed corresponded with the auracite that flies the Galbana. The ship was not there's before the expedition, but it is their ship now.

[He frowned.]

They've named the Galbana after their favorite flower, the lovely galbana lilies of the Dalmascan Estersands. This ship has significant meaning to Penelo and Vaan both. It cannot join Alexandria's fleet!

[Penelo nods sternly in agreement.]

We're its pilots. And Llyud wouldn't want the airship being added to an army.

Of course we did! It's made to come to the auracite that runs it.

[So yes Vaan hadn't quite planned for the thing to take off on its own, but it did. However, they'd found the Aegyl and the Feol Viera were all dead now, and not one of them had any problem with them flying the thing. Penelo's hand drops to her hip in irritation.]

You're not using it to fight.

Captain Steiner, I can assure you that she didn't steal the vessel!

[What an necessary headache! Does Alexandria hoped to become the next Red Wings or something? Edward never wore such a frown upon his face until now.]

Besides, does it matter if this airship was obtained illegally or not within Ivalice? Remember, Alexandrian law doesn't correspond across regions and worlds.

action - okay notifs are officially borked -_-

I am not a thief!

[Okay, now it's both hands on her hips. Seriously, she's the one who STOPS the thefts.]

Penelo is an honorable woman with a charitable spirit! Does this fit the qualifications of a mere thief? Captain Steiner, you're being irrational!

[He sighs in annoyance.]

My future-wife is no thief!

[Well there's a way to stop an argument in its tracks. Penelo just looks at Edward in a somewhat confused and yet wholly thrilled expression. If that means what she thinks it does. They'd talked around the subject but he'd never quite asked and... yeah a little staring. And lots of smiling.]

Edward?

[Hold up, hold, up, hold up! Wait a minute, what did he just say?

'Penelo is an honorable woman with a charitable spirit' yadda, yadda...

Something about 'qualifications' and she's no thief.

Oh, yeah! He also said--]


She's my future-wife.

[...Oh, wow. He did say it after all.]

Captain Steiner, I can assure you that Penelo's only crime is the fact that she managed to steal my heart. She is no thief, that ship...the Galbana is truly her's.

[Penelo's cheeks turn quite rosy but Edward gets a look of admiration. It's so good to see him making a stand. She's so terribly proud of him. Not to mention he's really made her quite giddy. She'll want to talk to him by herself later. For now she gives his hand a squeeze of gratitude.]

If this is a bad time, we can come back.

[As long as there is no adding the airship to a military fleet.]
