Penelo sat huddled in a corner of the building in which she had taken shelter. She had told everyone that she would be okay, and she believed it, but in all truth she was scared half to death. It was all she could do to sit hugging her knees and reminding herself that she was lucky the monster hadn't seen her and she hadn't touched the mushrooms. Amidst the sound of rain still dropping rhythmically against the building, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She couldn't quite make it out at first, and even wondered if she was imagining it, but more and more she was sure someone was calling her name.

"Larsa?" She leaped to her feet and rushed to a window so she could try to make out where he was. He was a bit down the street from her, but she could see and hear him, which probably meant that he could see and hear her as well. She waved her arms enthusiastically, calling back to him.

"Larsa, I'm over here!"

He heard her, but where was she? Which building? He travelled rapidly through the labirinth of warehouses, searching for her. Finally the voice grew louder, eventually leading to the basement of one of the many warehouses. When he found her, she was hiding in the corner looking completely defenseless. He couldn't help but chuckle before bowing low in her direction.

"Hello again, Penelo."

The greeting barely had time to leave the boy's mouth before the girl to whom it was addressed had closed the distance between herself and her rescuer and had wrapped him in a tight embrace. Words began pouring out of Penelo's mouth, seeming to bypass any real thought process or mental checks against speaking so quickly that she might not be understood.

"Larsa! I'm so glad you're here and you're okay. Thanks for coming for me. I was really scared and..."

She stopped abruptly and pulled herself back and away from the boy, blinking a couple times as she attempted to regain her composure.

"Sorry, I'm just really happy to see you." She smiled, looking a bit bashful. "And I guess I should call you Lamont, huh?"

He tensed up at the embrace at first, before relaxing and bringing his arms around her lightly.

"Everything will be alright, Penelo. Balthier, Fran and Basch are all here. We're waiting for you. You will not be harmed during your stay here, I can assure you of that. Yes...I have used the alias 'Lamont' once more. I suppose there is no point for such a farce, seeing as how my position would deem completely useless in such a place. However one must remain cautious of his surroundings."

While he spoke, he travelled around the room, lifting up boxes and peering in crates. Looking for anything that would be useful later on.

"We should stay here for the night, at least until the rain ceases. It gets cold at night, will you be warm enough?"
