[Phone Calls/ Action in Narshe]

[bearitproudly]

[Basch is a busy busy man, and on his list of duties, he has phone calls.

The first is to Lightning.

Second is to Balthier.

Third is to Ashe.

Fourth is to Noah.

Now that those were done, he'll take the time to wander Narshe a bit.]

Hello, Captain. To what do I owe the pleasure?

[Phone]

[bearitproudly]

I heard of your trip to the Fire Shrine. Did everything go well?

[He's checking up on you, BFF.]

[Phone]

[theleadingman]

[Always appreciated!]

Of course. Did you doubt me? We completed our objective, though I fear my clothes may have suffered for it in the blistering heat. My cuffs got a bit singed.

[No need to mention the company he was in, is there?]

[Phone]

[bearitproudly]

Your poor shirt. [Was that a hint of sarcasm?]

I am... glad everything went well.

[Phone]

[theleadingman]

[He heard that sarcasm, sir.]

I rather liked that one, actually. I may be mourning it a bit.

It did, all things considered. And your own endeavors?

The trip into Raithwall's Tomb went as smoothly as it could have gone, all things considered. Surprisingly, Noah and her Majesty stayed far from each other.

[theleadingman]

Thank the gods for small favors. I plan to come along to the next tree.

[Phone]

[bearitproudly]

We will welcome you. The more, the merrier.

[He pauses.] What of Celes?

[Phone]

[theleadingman]

[A question he would much rather avoid at the moment, honestly.]

I fear she'll have her hands full for quite some time. She won't miss me if I choose to go with you.

[Phone]

[bearitproudly]

[That didn't seem to answer his question, but he'll not push.]

Good, it's settled.

[Phone]

[theleadingman]

Excellent. I can't think of better company.
