[Action] (just a little backdated)

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Despite the hospitality, Rydia can't depart Garden fast enough. She appreciates what Rinoa and the others did for her, but the urge to see her family overwhelming. After arriving in the middle of such horror, only their presence will truly soothe her and remind her that she's not there anymore--in Burmecia or Mist. So, she insists on stopping at Troia. After that strange conversation with Edge, it seemed convenient for the both of them as well. He can meet her and then they can head to whatever he wanted to show her so badly.

Rydia barely pauses to glance at the town before heading straight for Troia's Castle at a brisk pace. While not meaning to be rude, she's too focused to pause and chat with just anyone at the moment. Instead, the summoner is a green whirlwind in search of three people and she won't stop until they're found.]

Can't--breathe---

[Oh, who cares. Breathing can happen later. It isn't nearly as long for Rydia, at least so it feels, but the trauma of arriving where she did makes her -very- relieve to see him and so she kisses back with all due passion.]

[Edge is oblivious to any gawkers. He really couldn't care less since he's going to make this woman his wife.]

[He steps back for a bit, surprised that she would stop him until she resumes their reunion. While wanting to guide her back to the ship, he can't stop himself from sampling everything her lips have to offer.]

[What other people? Rydia seems to have forgotten them as well. At the moment, nothing else matters but letting Edge know that she missed him.

At some point, the need for air becomes overwhelming and she moves her lips away just enough for that. Through that haze, she realizes they're almost outside.]

...where are we going?

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge sports a small grin.]

Off to Conde Petie.

We're getting married today!

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[....]

What?!

[Whatever answer she had been expecting, that obviously wasn't it.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He starts to nudge her back towards the ship.]

Yeah. They're already set up to marry people there.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[She stays put, raising an eyebrow.]

And when did you decide this? Were you even going to ask me?

[Not that she could see being with anyone else, but still...principle of the thing.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Before you left. What were you thinking? It's not like you were going to say no.

Ready to go?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia shoves him sort-of gently for that, her mind still reeling, but not about to let him get away with everything.]

That's not the point. You don't just assume; it's nice to be asked.

[Pout.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Sheesh woman. I want to get the honeymoon started.]

Why? Haven't you made up your mind yet? I just asked if you were ready.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

No, you blindsided me after I just returned from a war zone.

[She crosses her arms, then sighs.]

I know what my answer is, but I'm not letting you skip through all that just because you say so.

[There's a right way to do things and the summoner will be stubborn about what she wants, too. Don't test her reserves, Edge.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[He'd better make this quick. They day isn't getting any longer.]

[He kneels down with the grace his mother tried to teach him.]

Rydia, I've waited a long time for you to come back. Are you really going to make me wait longer or are you ready to be my wife? I can't really give you Eblan here, so will our home in Alfitaria be enough?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Well. That was better. Her expressions softens.]

You know it will, Edge. But--you better find Rosa and Cecil with me. We can't do this without them.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Then they better hurry, because I'm not waiting long for them.

[He looks out to see if he sees them, because he's really ready to go.]

CECIL! ROSA! We're looking for you.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia takes his hand and tugs him back from where they came.]

C'mon! I know Rosa was at the Infirmary, at least....

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge takes a fleeting glance towards their ship before turning around to find Rosa.]

All the way over there?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[And no argument, Edge. She keeps an eye out for Cecil on the way, too.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge reluctantly follows her, knowing he'd never win this argument.]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ For once, Rosa is actually out in the hallways, heading who knows where, so it isn't long before she spots them. ]

..Edge, Rydia?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

We're eloping. Want to come?

[Blunt as ever.]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

[Edge grins.]

We're just on our way out.

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ She just looks from one to the other for a second and then breaks into a grin. ]

Have you told Cecil?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia shakes her head, grinning.]

Not yet, we found you first.

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

He'd better show up soon if he wants to be there.

We're getting married today.

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ Rosa's lips twitch in amusement and she looks to Rydia. ]

Today? We'd better go find him, then.
