Genome Village

[eidolon_soul]

Upon landing, Rydia turned to Kain and Cecil. Bringing Kain outside would be more effort than it was worth, especially since Ceodore would have had to have spotted the Lunar Whale anyway. Who could miss a ship of that size?

"He'll be here any moment...." She tried to sound casual, but seeing the boy face-to-face was going to be a surreal experience, for all of them. No doubt, Cecil would have it the worst in that respect. Her gaze is sympathetic as she glances over to her paladin friend, knowing this was a lot to deal with on top of everything else that had happened to him. She headed toward the ship's entrance, only stepping outside to see if Ceodore was on his way.

What a jumbled chaotic mess this whole day had been. It had started out of more of the same. Fight through monsters. Heal the injured. Encounter something the crystals revived from the past. Rest for a while, then proceed deeper into the depths of the moon. Ceodore would have never admitted it but this was far less of an adventure than he would have thought it to be a few months ago. The bone weariness was real, as was the danger. And now he stood on foreign soil, away from the danger. Away from stopping their doom

Upon spotting him, Rydia stiffened. The resemblance to Cecil was uncanny, even at a distance. The closer he got, the more details she could see to confirm his parentage. His armor was definitely recognizable as well, and if Rydia had any doubts before this point, they were gone now. Cecil really did have a grown son, and they were just about to meet him.

She didn't move to join him, though; given that Kain couldn't walk, it seemed unfair to hold any type of reunion or meeting outside. That the dragoon was far from social wasn't the point; she would not exclude him, regardless. So, the green-haired woman waited for Ceodore to reach the ship, looking him over all the while.

When he finally caught up, her lips curved in a warm smile. However confused and unsettled Rydia was about all this, she wasn't going to be unwelcoming. "Hello, Ceodore. It's nice to meet you at last."

It still felt strange to hear Rydia talk like she'd never met him. Especially when just a few hours ago there was an uproar in the camp around her smacking Palom across the face for some obnoxious comment. Probably something to do with the summoner's finer attributes. Edge wasn't too happy with the black mage either, come to think on it. There were days when seeing to weapon maintenance was far more preferable than other things. Like getting into the middle of whatever that ruckus happened to be.

If she was expecting formality from him, there was going to be some disappointment. He nodded once and smiled in return. "Hey." Clasping his hands behind his back, he peered curiously at the opening to the airship. "Just you?"

Dollet

[eidolon_soul]

Rydia wasn't familiar with Dollet, nor did she care to be overmuch. It held nothing of importance for her, at least normally...but now, since Rosa was within, it meant everything. She had sorely missed her pseudo-mother figure and even though she was older now, that changed nothing regarding how Rydia felt about her.

She landed just outside the city, then stepped away from the crystals and turned to the others. "I told here where we would land, so let's keep a look out...." And with that, the summoner steps outside, ready to use the sky phone again if she must.

[eidolon_soul]

Upon seeing Rosa, the summoner's heart quickened. She was really here again, at long last. So what if she had some extra years to her? She was still Rosa, the warm, loving, motherly woman Rydia had latched onto from childhood.

Cecil and Ceodore had more right to charge ahead, she knew. Yet, Rydia couldn't help herself. She quickened her pace to meet Rosa, reaching out for a hug as soon as the woman was within arm's length. "Rosa! I've missed you so much...."
