[After receiving a certain letter, Celes holes up in her room to look at it. This... it doesn't seem like something he would write. It doesn't feel like his wording, but it's fluffy enough... could he really have sent it? She lets her fingers drape over the lovely roses on her desk before she takes out the note he sent with them - which she may or may not have been keeping in a pocket. She will never tell.

A few minutes later, she pulls out her phone and dials Balthier.

After a while, she'll head out into town to see how things are going. Penelo, you might be getting a visitor.]

[At Penelo's cafe himself, Balthier takes time out from being generally irate to answer his phone, composing himself and making his voice as pleasant as possible when he sees who's calling. No need to sound snippy when Celes has nothing to do with this cruel joke.]

Why, hello.

[Having only heard about Penelo's letter so far, he raises an eyebrow in response to her question.]

Thank me for what? Not that I'm one to turn down praise. You're well, I hope?

[At least she's in good spirits. He, on the other hand, is bewildered.]

I'm glad you liked it -- I did send a note with the flowers, but I never penned a second, I'm afraid. [A-ha. An idea.] Tell me, what nature of letter was it?

[... hmph. He does note that she didn't answer the question.]

Penelo's cafe. Someone sent her a love letter that turned out to be rather cruel; I came to look in on her.

Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to care much for what was written in my name?

Mm. She should be able to spare me awhile. Terra has been here, and there are others stopping in, as well. I'm sure she wouldn't mind being free of my fussing for a bit.

Now I'm intrigued. You shan't wait for me long, I'll be there shortly.

[He hangs up, and within the hour, he arrives at the designated spot, looking only slightly worse-for-wear as being angry is rather exhausting in its way. He smiles, however, when he spots her, and offers a bow.]

Lovely to see you again, Celes.

[He gingerly accepts the offered letter, reading it over twice, his eyebrow arching progressively higher as time goes on.] Someone thinks I talk this way? It's rather heavy-handed, even for my tastes. I've never seen this before in my life.

[He snorts lightly as he hands it back, but a smile tugs at his lips again as she mentions the other note and he catches a glimpse of folded paper in her hand.]

I'm glad I could do something to please. The flowers suited you, I hope? I later thought to ask Terra, but I had a feeling you would care most for roses.

[Penelo's re-opened the cafe, but she's still deeply hurt by that horrible letter prank. Business is hopping, and not in part because many are curious what got the dancer's heckles up so drastically. For her part, she's losing herself in her work. It keeps her too busy to think.]

[Swamped is what it is, filled to capacity with both natives and Sky People of every race, many of them just common workers on their lunch break. And only one slip of a Penelo darting between all those people, dropping off steaming plates of food and chilled drinks.]

Celes! I didn't expect to see you!

Oh no, it's fine! Are you hungry? I think I have a table open...

[She pops up onto her tiptoes to try looking around the restaurant.]

...over there.

[Only one left in fact.]

Only a little busy.

I really should hire some help.

Well if you know anyone looking for work, you can send them my way. Things keep up like this, I might be able to buy the building from Edgar.

[Which she would prefer. Penelo hates feeling indebted in any way.]

[Penelo blanches at the mention of Sabin. He's a dear friend and she cares about him a great deal, but she knows now he was meant to be the sender of that ridiculous letter. Even as a prank, she has to wonder why in the world someone would choose Sabin as the sender.]
