As soon as Penelo had returned Shain to his parents for the remainder of the day, she hurried to the airship docks to wait. The term 'aerodome' hardly seemed to fit the airship landing area, at least not to someone used to the ones in Ivalice. In the time spent in this world, she'd seen more and more towns put up formal places for airship flights, as the need for travel increased with the inhabited lands. None of that truly figured into her thoughts as she wound her way through Figaro

Mjrn hated the name that Balthier had given his previous ship, but she had not given serious thought as to what its name ought to be. Perhaps Vaan would be able to help her decide later, though she was content leaving it nameless. Just...anything but that name. It was an airship, not a flying nightclub or somesuch.

She glanced over to Vaan and smiled while answering his question. While it was strange to see him again -and a little sad that he didn't remember anything of his last visits- she was pleased to see him again. Friendships could be renewed, could they not? There was a brief nod. "Aye. This is Figaro. It reminds me a little of Dalmasca. Penelo, too. That is why she wanted to settle here."

And she momentarily fell silent while guiding the airship to the docks, landing smoothly. While Mjrn was never that fond of flying, the past several months had granted her some competence in the air. Once the airship was secure, she stood and stretched. "Let us rejoin Penelo, then." She gestured for him to go ahead, and she followed.

A name was a name. It ought to have some meaning to its owner, he would have said if she asked. Since she hadn't he was content in not minding what it was called either way. He was easily amazed by Mjrn having an airship in the first place. He didn't require any other form of information to like her, that was enough. Flying had to be the fastest way to travel here, it was only natural that she learned.

"All I can see is the sand. Maybe there's more to it than that." Vaan would find out for himself in due time. He might not have remembered but he would try his best to make right the things he had missed out on and the others he should have remembered but couldn't.

"Nice landing," he complimented with a grin. Second to stand, he brushed past her at her instruction, headed for the exit. In no time at all, he was walking through it and down the steps into the hangar. "When's the last time you two saw each other?" He asked casually, meaning no harm, purely conversational.

There it was! Penelo could spot the airship from quite a distance now. Even if she wasn't fond of the name, nor flying, she'd gotten used to it all because she had to. Familiar in its own way. The minute it was down, Penelo rushed forward, popping up onto her tiptoes to peer over the heads of other people milling around.

"Vaan!"

Not that she wasn't thrilled to see Mjrn as well, because she was, but with him having been missing again for so long...

Without waiting for a response, she ran up and flung herself at Vaan for a tight hug.
