[Action in Lindblum (I think?)]

[dualcast]

[Anyone could be forgiven for thinking there wasn't a forest full of the birds at the base of Mount Ordeals with how Porom's been jumping at every little sound and demanding to know if Ursula thinks it's a chocobo. Apparently, hearing that they're expected back soon only managed to make her fret more. Which is quite the achievement, considering how much she was fretting already. In fact, she's so busy wondering if non-chocobo-related sounds are chocobos that she almost manages to miss their actual return.

Almost.

It's probably a good thing that she managed to get some rest and that wearing herself out isn't an immediate danger anymore. Because, well. Doublecasting curaja before actually checking if anyone's injured.]

I am fine. I promised you.

[Curespamming probably had something to do with that. He's not about to tell her the rest of what happened yet, since it will probably only make her more worried, instead of less.]

[-it takes her a few seconds to process that. Because she's already worked herself up into a bit of a frenzy with worry. But eventually she calms down, at least enough to remember how breathing works.]

...thank goodness you're safe.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I am sorry for causing you to worry. Did anything happen while we were gone?

[In those few seconds, he takes hold of Porom's hands. He doesn't think much of it. It's the first thing he can think of to reassure her more.]

[dualcast]

[It's only when she calms down that she notices. When she does she smiles, squeezing his hands.]

Nothing. It's been quiet.

[Cecil doesn't immediately notice the pair, as he dismounts from his chocobo and helps Rosa dismount from hers. First he looks for Ursula, who seems to be in good spirits as she reunites with Ceodore, which he's relieved to see. He himself is none too worse for wear thanks to Rosa's healing, but the paladin's armour and shield have taken a battering from taking the defensive role in the group.

Cecil smiles as he spots Porom's fretting, and the Warrior take her hands in his. It reminds him so much of himself and Rosa that he can't help but call over to them.]

Worry not, Porom, Rosa has been taking good care of your Warrior.

[ Prishe had opted to accompany Porom to the woods, and had been pacing around the immediate area, more exploring than anything else. She didn't do standing around and waiting very well, and besides, despite her boasts to the contrary, she was a little worried about the Warrior.

People had been telling her all kinds of things about Garland, and while Prishe was confident that the Warrior could take him on...

She heard the chocobos approaching before she saw them, and darted back to the clearing to where she and the white mage had been waiting.

And she stopped promptly in her tracks and hid slightly behind a tree when she saw Porom and her Warrior greeting one another.

Oh ho. So that was it. Peering out from behind the tree, Prishe opted to wait just a little bit longer. Things were getting interesting. ]

[....Oh, right, there were other people there, weren't there. The warrior had completely forgotten them, in the process of calming Porom. The sound of Cecil's voice startles him, and he pulls back from his grip on Porom's hands. ATTEMPTS TO ACT LIKE NOTHING UNUSUAL WAS HAPPENING = GO.He's still not quite as linefacey as usual, though. Because. He isn't Porom's warrior. Really. Where did you get that idea, Cecil?]

Yes- Rosa's help has been of importance to us.

[dualcast]

My-

[She pulls her hands back slowly when the warrior lets go, shaking her head.]

-of course. I didn't mean to doubt her.

[From where Ceodore and Ursula are having a rather serious discussion, it's still hard to miss that Porom was holding hands. With the Warrior. Ceodore grins a little, nudges Ursula, then tosses in his two gil.]

Hey Porom, why didn't you tell us sooner?

[vulgarascetic.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, awesome. Those guys had to go and ruin it. Prishe lets out a small, slightly annoyed sigh and steps out from behind the tree she was hiding behind, rubbing her nose as she trots up to the warrior, facing the watching Moon family. ] Hey! You guys, quit watching! It's damn rude!

[ One hand gets firmly planted on her hip. ] Give them some privacy! It's not like they can find a room out here, y'know!

[petalwhirlwind.livejournal.com]

[Ursula, thoroughly agreeing with Prishe, links her arm around Ceodore's.]

C'mon, let's give them some space.

[She urges him away, but not before flashing a smile at Porom.]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[All the keysmashing ever. He hadn't thought anyone was paying attention to the two of them, but at least four people have shown notice. At least he hasn't noticed Ursula smiling at Porom, though Prishe's comment was probably bad enough.

If he ever blushed his face would be bright red right now.]

...That is not necessary, Prishe.

[vulgarascetic.livejournal.com]

Like hell it ain't! And why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend, huh? [ She's about ready to climb on you and give you what for, Percy. ]

[dualcast]

[...sorry, she's not going to be. Saying much other than a particularly squeaky apology, instead busying herself with what seems to be an attempt to disappear through sheer will as opposed to through magic, which would probably work much better. She takes a rather large step back from Percy.]

That's not-

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Climbing and what for aren't needed. Really. His hands are straight at his sides now and nowhere near Porom's, though he hasn't stepped back the way she did.]

Prishe, I do not-
