Regent Cid's quarters were no more lavish than any others - in fact, probably less comfortable since they were located near to the engine room and the constant background thrumming was vaguely disquieting. But Cid liked to be near the heart of the Invincible.

He had expected Ashe, though he didn't know what she wanted to talk about that couldn't be brought up at the meeting. She wasn't going to complain about her infant, was she? Cid had left his wife in Lindblum to look after Eiko and he wasn't an expert on babes, far from it. He'd ordered the best of care for the family and trusted his people to provide it.

"Before I do so, I would have you know this; my only intent is to ensure the continuation of peace across Gaia. I would not see this land become entangled in the conflicts of my home world... conflicts we had believed laid to rest." A tinge of sadness and regret came through in her voice, though Ashe held herself with regality, her father's daughter.

"I must speak upon the Archadian Lord, Vayne Solidor."

Cid nodded at the compliment, glad that at least that wasn't the problem. Her next words gave him a different cause for concern, however.

Cid frowned. "Then speak, my lady. What's the matter?"

The princess took a deep, silent breath. "I have refrained from speaking out until now for good reason. Were I to publically come forward regarding his deeds in Ivalice, label him as a threat, I... would endanger my family and the people of Gaia, and this, I will not do." Absently, her fingers stroked across her wedding band. "However... I can remain silent no longer, not since I heard he has gathered a fleet ( ... )
