Basch had barely gotten the young Arcadian lord settled in at the Bunansa house when Fran told him about Penelo. So another was in Rivelata? Vaan was alone with Vossler if that was true. The way it was going, the would be here soon enough. Walking briskly, Basch made his way toward the dock, where Penelo would be waiting. With her added, they would surely have a full house. Balthier, Travis, Fran, Larsa and himself, and now Penelo. They would hopefully have Ashelia staying with them soon as well ( ... )

Though he was missing his armor, Penelo could recognize Basch by his gait and the troubled look on his face. Her smile crinkled her eyes as she stood and bridged the distance between them.

For a moment she was so relieved she could tackled him and clung to him, but that wouldn't really be proper. It was just that the face of Captain Basch fon Ronsenberg appearing across Dalmascan newspapers always reminded her of childhood security. "He's a good one," her father would tell her, "He'll take care of us." Even after the mess that happened with Nalbina and King Raminas... She refused to believe the man who fought so hard for Dalmasca could do such a thing.

"Please, Basch. I'm sorry for troubling you."

She dug her toe into the sand. "It seems I have come at a very bad time, judging from the writings appearing in my book."

((ooc: Sorry sorry sorry T__T for taking so long to respond! *bows and gives lots of apologies* oh and the part about her childhood and Basch made me wibble <3))

The bright smile coming his way was lovely. The young girl was always cheerful, it was always nice having her around. Along with Vaan, the duo was good at keeping the moral of the group up. Though he always worried that Penelo would get hurt or not be able to keep up with them. She proved her worth time and time again though. Her magic abilities were very helpful during battle.

"Tis no trouble at all." Basch said, and smiled just a little at her, the toe digging quite cute, "Penelo, the time at which you have come is not of your choosing, but I am glad to see you well." he could only hope Vaan and Vossler were as well off. Or that Vossler was not yet sick of the boy. Not that he feared he would abandon Vaan, but Vossler had never been very patient with children.

((It's fine, It's fine! I was worried I did something wrong! Awww. x3 Wibbliness is a good thing?))

Penelo observed the edges of Basch's lips turning up into a smile, or the ghost of a smile. Either way, it was nice to see the Captain's face without the pain that so haunted it, if even for a moment. She smiled sympathetically, turning her face up to look up at him the way a very trusting puppy would.

"I'm glad everyone here is well, too," She played with the twine on her journal.

Her mind buzzed about Vaan. He'd be alright, she told herself. As long as he didn't get distracted for too long, he'll be just fine. And as long as he doesn't eat a restaurant's wax display... again.

Penelo shook her head to clear her scattered thoughts, and offered her hand childishly at first, then flushed with embarrassment and hugged her journal to her chest with both hands.

"Lead the way, Captain."
