Characters: Rinoa, OPEN
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Galbadia Garden visits Figaro. This log is open to all Garden and Figaro folks! Feel free to start new subthreads, threadhop etc.
Location: Figaro
Date: April, 1804
Warnings: None

Many curious onlookers had already gathered on the outskirts of South Figaro to watch Galbadia Garden's arrival. It was one thing to hear about the flying academy, another thing to actually see it. For her part, Rinoa was excited to explore a new location. She hoped to see Locke, do some shopping and sightseeing, maybe even catch a glimpse of the king.

So Rinoa could be found at the Garden gate about to go out, then wandering the streets of Figaro, and later saddling a chocobo to go and visit the castle. One thing was for sure, she wasn't staying in.

Upon seeing the Garden arrive, Mjrn immediately headed for the large structure. She was eager to see certain friends again, if eager for little else these days. Perhaps in their presence, she could shove aside depressing thoughts for a little while.

However, she entered only to be told that Rinoa had departed already. Oops. So, Mjrn headed back out and decided to go back to wandering the streets, randomly ducking in to inspect the shops. With any luck, she would run into Rinoa or another familiar face.

Having acquired a large bouquet from the woman who owned the one flower shop in the town (and a stern warning not to torment any of the young ladies around - she knew her king), Edgar was wandering the streets, distributing flowers left and right to the women of the town, and not just the pretty ones. The little girls and old grannies got them, too, and seeing their King do something like that reassured the natives that he was who he was. He was still having to be on guard in case that impostor returned.

Upon spotting the ears in the street before him, Edgar realized who this must be - the young... woman who'd answered his initial questions, and come to hunt the menace on his southeastern border. Taking three roses from the bouquet, he stepped in front of her, smiling widely, gracefully holding out the roses. Even the tall king was only right at eye level with this Viera.

"Mjrn, is it? I'm more than happy to meet you at last, my dear."

Mjrn paused abruptly, startled out of her thoughts by the sudden gift. She peered down at the roses as though not quite sure what to do with them. Still, she didn't want to be rude, and so took gently took the small cluster after a moment.

"Ah...thank you. These are beautiful. It is a pleasure to meet you at last, sir--Your Majesty." Humes had so many titles and forms of address, far different from the Wood. She did her best to learn them for politeness' sake, but sometimes it was difficult to tell when they mattered. "Are you still--" dismantling-- "researching the Sky Phones?"

Rinoa was browsing a clothing store, inspecting the Figaro fashions. Looking up, she saw a familiar pair of ears on the other side of the shop and her eyes lit up.

She hurried over. "Hey! Look who it is!"

Mjrn was eyeing a Figaro-style dress near the entrance dubiously when a familiar voice jolted her out of her thoughts. Her eyes lit up as well and she smiled, a genuine one rather than the small smile she used lately to humor people who were worried about her. "Rinoa! I had hoped to find you, ever since I saw the Garden arrive."

"I didn't know you were here!" Rinoa beamed at her friend. "Or I would have called you! You really do get about. Have you seen anything interesting? I wanna see the castle... They say that it moves, so maybe it's something like Garden."

"I was here to take part in a hunt, which ended very recently. I had not thought we would linger, but I am glad we have, now." Mjrn relaxed, some of that post-hunt tension beginning to fade. "I would see the castle with you, then. It has not moved in my brief time here, but perhaps we may learn when it will?" Or the king would be kind enough to give a demonstration, but Mjrn didn't hope enough for that luck.

"Haven't you seen it, then?" Rinoa asked, excited at the prospect. "I think Selphie went to ask for directions, but maybe it's hard to find a castle that moves..."

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

Mjrn shook her head at the question. "I have heard of it, but not seen it myself. I would welcome the opportunity to change this, however." There's a smile at mention of Selphie. "She is to return soon? Then perhaps we three may go. Unless her excitement is such that she went ahead...."

Rinoa nodded. "I think she did. We could run and catch her up?"

Mjrn nodded, far more interested in odd castles than shopping, at the moment. She paused by the entrance. "Aye, let us do so. After you...."
