Ceodore. We need to discuss your studies, I imagine your being here has interrupted them.
Edward, may I speak with you as well?
[Porom can be found at the welcome centre throughout the morning, doing what odd-jobs she's able to help with and directing anyone who has questions to someone who actually has a clue. In the early afternoon she excuses

[Rydia's not in the best of moods, though she doesn't refrain from her work, nor take it out on anyone. She's just not as cheerful as usual, at least when she thinks no one's looking. Of course she'll answer questions of anyone Porom sends her way, but at some point, she will be taking a break in the kitchen area, a hand wrapped around a hot cup of tea.]

[Porom feels guilty about having to give Rydia extra work when she really doesn't need it but compared to potentially giving a new feather bad information it's the lesser of two evils. During a relatively calm moment while all that needs to be done is, until something new happens or someone new arrives, done she checks in on the summoner.]
How are you feeling?

I'm...I'll be fine. A little tea and I'll be ready to tackle more New Feather questions again. It isn't too hectic for you out there, I hope?

Well, they did, like clockwork. At least, that was the case until May...and then people departed, but we didn't get any New Feathers to balance them out.

We get a little advance warning, mostly so that we can ask for any special equipment for the terrain, and then they send us off relatively soon. I would say maybe a few days' warning at best? Though really, they've only done it twice so far and there's no guarantee that the 'rules' will always stay there same.

I'm sorry for all the questions. This place is still very new to me.

No, don't apologize! That's what I'm here for, right? Ask whatever you want, it's perfectly fine with me. Besides...I could use the distraction.

...How is Ceodore? I ran into him late last night and with the state he was in then I don't think I envy him this morning.

I ran into him, too.
He's sober and not a toad anymore, so that's a step up.
[Yes, said with a straight face. Is she joking?]

Both of those are improvements, I suppose. You toaded him?
