[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.]

[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.

[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.

[Action]

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

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

[Action]

[theleadingman.livejournal.com]

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

[heavenslament.livejournal.com]

You too, Balthier.

[She nods, then turns to head for home.]
