[After aiding the Warrior of Light in his quest, Terra has finally returned to Figaro. As the airship lands, she wastes no time in phoning Balthier to let her know that she's local. She did promise to make a certain delivery for him, after all.

No one else gets a phone call, though. Instead, she plans to find them all and greet them in person; Penelo, at her cafe, and then she'll quickly make her way to the castle. It's time to see what Relm is up to and whether or not Edgar is overworking himself, etc....]

[Balthier had been using the time to sample Penelo's much-improved cooking at the cafe; after receiving the call from Terra, he had arranged to meet her nearby, perhaps away from Pen's prying eyes. He wasn't sure he was prepared for her to read into his actions just yet -- if there was something to tell, Pen would be one of the first to know. For now, he waited patiently for Terra to arrive at the designated spot -- the bridge nearest the inn, the item to be delivered tucked carefully behind his back.]

[Edgar is... amazingly, neither in his office nor his workshop. Nor his bedroom, actually. He's perched atop the castle, on the roof where Reis used to live while she was still trapped in dragon shape, working on cleaning and repairing his armor and his favorite spear. He's developed much more of a liking for heights since he came to Gaia.]

[Terra's arrival is prompt. She doesn't want to keep him waiting, after all. So, upon spotting him, the green-haired woman waves shyly.]

Hello. I'm glad you're still here.

[...odd. Terra's concern grows upon finding him neither in the workshop nor office. Is he ill? Heading to the bedroom only to find it empty only deepens her confusion.

She frowns at her Sky Phone, tempted to just call him, but...he has to be around somewhere. So, it takes her a bit to get to the roof, but she eventually picks that location and emerges, shielding her eyes from the sun.]

...Edgar...?

Welcome home, Terra. [The blond sets aside his chestplate and polishing cloth, turning to smile at her and looking... fantastically relaxed, actually. He's obviously in a good mood - Sabin's return probably has a lot to do with that.]

[Terra's quick to smile upon noting his demeanor, heading over.]

I thought I would find you buried in paperwork. This is a nice change, finding you up here instead.

[Relm is...behaving herself after that outing. Very well.

By her standards, anyway. She's discovered that not caring about her results means she can get her maths work done by just writing down whatever numbers come to mind. But she's sat on a blanket in the sand outside the castle, conspiring enjoying the sunshine with a few of the palace moogles.]

I think I burned a great deal of it when I returned, actually. [He also wipes off his hands before motioning her to sit with him, looking out over the desert.] After the attack, somehow most of it didn't seem important anymore.

[Terra does so, following his gaze.]

We were really lucky, considering. If it had struck here, instead....

[Even if it hadn't wiped out Figaro as Burmecia had been, the Mist Continent was overrun. There doubtless would have been nonstop fighting.]

[Oblivious to the need for the need to (further) lecture Relm, Terra approaches with a warm smile on her lips.]

Can I join in?

[Staying busy is what's keeping Penelo sane. This is just how she rolls. Stick things out and take care of business and eventually things will work out. It's especially been true for her since Edward vanished. She spends most hours of the day at the cafe, cooking and staying busy, just barely taking time to sleep at night. She'll argue that she's just trying to get the business off the ground, but if the crowd in the care is any indication, that's not a problem for her.]

[Terra enters and glances around, then automatically steps back. She's ill-at-ease among crowds and crowded places, and debates whether or not to come find her later, but what if it's the same deal, and....]

[She nods, holding out a huge handful of Kupo nuts to Terra. Eiko gave her a big bag of them to bribe the moogles with while she was on the Mist Continent and there is a lot of moogle bribing going on right now.]

They're a present from Eiko for the moogles here! So I'm handing them out!

[Terra gladly takes the handful of kupo nuts, barely having the chance to sit down as she's swarmed. The green-haired woman giggles.]

Don't worry, there's plenty for everyone! ...right, Relm?

[He smiled as she approached, offering a quick bow as a greeting.]

Of course. Lovely to see you again, Terra. I must thank you again for doing me this favor.

[She nods and shrugs.]

You're welcome, though I really don't mind. If this makes Celes happy, then it's worth it.

I'm not certain if it will, but I do hope it will help to smooth things over.

[He produces the peace offering from behind his back: a bouquet of yellow, white and red roses, tastefully arranged and tied off with a wide, white ribbon. There is a small envelope (http://images.plurk.com/6abfb460f255b77c1cfee5e84a1322dc.jpg) tucked in among the flowers, unsealed.]

Perhaps I should have checked with you beforehand, but I had a feeling she liked roses.

[Terra peers at the bouquet with interest, then smiles.]

I don't see why she wouldn't. They're beautiful.

[His own smile hitches a touch wider at Terra's affirmation.]

That means much, coming from one who knows her so well.

[She holds out her hands for them.]

Well, I can take them right to her.

[He gingerly passes them over with a wink.]

My eternal gratitude. Do let me know if I can ever return the favor.

[She takes hold of them gently and smiles.]

I can't think of anything, but...thank you.

[He offers a second bow.]

I assume you have other business to attend to? I'll not keep you from it.

I need to get home, yes. I'll...um, see you later then.

Sooner rather than later, I should hope. [Another wink and a smile.] Be well, Terra.
