I FEEL WEIRD FOR NOT POSTING SOMETHING. But my kids are very boring, so:
Takanari went home for a day! It went something like
this, unless Haine disagrees. Either way, he spent lots of time with his friends, went to school, and so on. He's coming back with clothes for him and Shizumasa, books, art supplies, tea, and money.
Ashe went home for the day as well. She got scribes to make copies of everything, then had a lot of meetings with nobility, advisers, and so on. Somewhere in there, she gave letters to a guard who then gave it Old Dalan: One from Fran to Balthier, then her own short messages for Vaan and Penelo, Basch, and Balthier. (Nothing exceptional aside that she is well, and signed from Amalia.) And, yes, she did not sleep at all while she was there. As for loot, she brought back her copies, books, seeds, magicite, inventory items, a gilded dagger, wine for Dante, and a painting of Dalmasca. You know, the basics.
And neither of them did anything of note with members of either sex. It's a sore point for them both.
