Huh. A year. I've been here a year now. So much has changed and so little hasn't. Larsa, sweetheart, I think we'll only need to set the table for the two of us tonight, okay? I'll make us something special.

I was stupid to think this place would let me keep him. But, Vaan was

I have completed logging the event officially and have spoken to the local undertaker to prepare him just in case. He knows us both quite well now and if it should come to another in his care, we may just have to invite him over for dinner...

What I have come to learn is that Dalmascans have found it hard to remain here, for perhaps the calling in their blood longs for deserts and drier climates. The sky pirates longed for the skies.

Perhaps a measure of Archadia keeps us here...

I lied

[solidor_heir]

Rest assured, I shall be home soon after the evening meeting, Penelo. I will be here for you.

[danceofrapture]

Thank you. I-if there's a body...

[a long, long pause before writing again.]

If there's a body, I don't know if I can attend to him myself. With Basch and T-Travis and everyone... I don't remember how I managed.

I wonder why all of the other Dalmascans have been called home, but I haven't.

[solidor_heir]

I will take care of everything, Penelo, just take time for yourself to come to terms with it all.

Selfishly, I would like to think it's because... I need a friend here, one from our own world who sees me for me.

[danceofrapture]

I don't have time for that now, Larsa. With these new... Goddesses or whatever they are, you could be put in danger, too.

I can't let them take you from me, too. You're all I have, Larsa.

It's a long time to be away. How are you, Penelo?

[danceofrapture]

I'm surviving. It's what I have to do. Dalmascans are a tough breed, right?

[fairy_skies]

Never met a Dalmascans before, but I know what you mean about surviving.
