[There is a low, somewhat pensive mutter, hard to hear over the ambient noise in the background.]

I’ve seen chamberpots more advanced than these ‘Forges’. Ah, there’s a switch… about as ancient as I’d suppose.

[The voice gets stronger, revealing the calm, cultured tones of a man not much older than twenty.]

Right, then. I’m in need of assistance

I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone like that in Anatole, but if I do I'll make sure to contact you.

Balthier, have you been in this city for very long? I'm Hinata and I'm still new here.

[Voice]

[immortal_shot]

Long enough for this fine City's air to start to disagree with me. I don't usually make a habit of blacking out.

[Voice]

[gentlest_fist]

Blacking out? Are you sure you're all right?

Um, my friend's a medic and I'm sure she'd be willing to help you if you're not feeling well. Her name's Sakura.

[Voice]

[immortal_shot]

It hasn't recurred yet. My bet's on the shock of my unplanned transport from my world. Generally, I prefer to travel in my Strahl.

[Rabbity?]

You would have had quite a few choices if you hadn't mentioned that rabbit bit. I'm not sure what a Viera is, but I'm sure we would have noticed someone like that in the area.

[immortal_shot]

Indigenous to Ivalice, it seems. She's rather hard to miss. As much as any seven feet of woman with limbs tipped with claws.

[firstinthewar]

[...all right, that she definitely would have seen.]

A seven foot tall woman with claws and rabbit ears.

I don't think such a person is here, no. Though I wouldn't be surprised if one turned up here sooner or later. That's the nature of this world.

[immortal_shot]

No news is just as well. Doubtless the air would disagree with her, here.

[voice]

[piscestruth]

....Rabbity?

[voice]

[immortal_shot]

More hare, really.

[voice]

[piscestruth]

How rabbity - er, hare-y I suppose - do you mean, exactly?

[voice]

[immortal_shot]

[A tiny smirk in that voice.]

Oh the usual foot long ears and short fluffy tail, I suppose. Ah, but one mustn't forget the limbs that end in rather sharp claws. I'd not let her land a kick, either.

[falleneighth]

While there are several people here who may fit the "silver-blonde" description, I don't believe any of them are whom you seek.

[immortal_shot]

She's a rarity, certainly. Still, my thanks for your interest.

[falleneighth]

The best of luck to you in your search as good companions are hard to find.

[immortal_shot]

Certainly. Though what good is a companion you can't trust on her own?

voice

[ladyofthesouth]

It sounds as though you keep rather interesting companions. She only kicks when provoked, I hope?

[immortal_shot]

The perfect complements to any leading man. Violence does not come naturally to Fran or her kind. But neither does pacifism.

[ladyofthesouth]

A leading man, hm? That would make her your leading lady, I suppose?

In any case that's good to hear for anyone who might seek her out for you. There's quite a number of... uncommon beings around, she may yet turn up.

[immortal_shot]

All ladies are leading stars, though some may shine but briefly.

I wouldn't wish for her to be stuck in this Mist. It tends to disagree with her. Violently.
