How adorable! Loved Balthier's appearance - I can totally see him popping in now and then to tweak the Archadian nobility for fun.

Thank you very much!

I picture it as a game for him.

"Ah, Lord Ffamran! What have you been up to these past years, you young devil? We've hardly seen you!"

"Oh, this and that. I did a spell as an actor in Rozarria--you wouldn't believe what their women wear to the theatre! It was nearly enough to make me forget my lines."

"You must be joking. I thought they didn't let their women out of the house."

"Oh, they all came chaperoned and accompanied by an army of protectors...but there are ways round that if you're determined."

"Tell me more!"

....Uh, yeah, I'm just blatantly ridiculous. ^_^; Thank you again for the feedback, though!

Cute! Penelo really ought to listen to her "Vaan" voice a little more; it'd make for some crazy stories, especially once she's Empress. ^____^ Very well done!

Thank you very much!

I like the political background infusing nearly everything here, the thought and organisation Larsa has clearly put into Penelo's appearance in Archadian society-- and how necessary it proves. It's very Archades, even as the characters try to rise above that.

Thank you very much! I liked playing with the layers of society and how the politics would infuse everything, and how carefully Larsa would have to plan for this to even pretend to happen. Thanks for reading!
