This was the life. Rinoa relaxed on a sun lounger, soaking up the rays. Behind her sunglasses, her eyes were closed. She could hear the waves lapping gently against the beach in the background. It was as though the dragon invasion had never happened.

A group of holidaymakers passed by, laughing and joking as they headed for the sea. Rinoa sat up to take a look around. Hmm. Maybe it was time she went for a swim. But first she needed to reapply her sun cream. She smoothed back her hair and picked up her bottle of sun lotion. Now was there anyone around who might want to help?

Mjrn herself assumes a guilty expression when he speaks of Penelo. She never wanted to be the cause of pain for her dearest friend, and yet it had happened regardless. She resolved not to dwell, as he suggested, and nodded, albeit hesitantly.

"Aye, indeed. I am alive once more. My friends are well. The dragons have been slain...and now, we are surrounded by warmth and sunlight. A better outcome I could scarcely imagine." Except perhaps not losing what made her Viera, but...no, trying not to dwell on that, at least not now.

Allowing a smile to grace his lips, Edward offered Mjrn another topic once she mention the warmth and sunlight of today's adventure. "Much better than Narshe, isn't it? Costa Faguita, I mean. I never knew that such a sunny coast existed here upon Gaia until now." He let out a soft sigh. "I suppose I still have some adventuring to do." The bard smiled more at Mjrn once he said that since he had a proposition for her.

"That is, unless you would like to join Penelo and I. I have no idea where we shall go next, but this adventure is far from over."

"But of course. Where Penelo goes, I go as well." Mjrn started out at the water thoughtfully for a moment. "Penelo spoke of Figaro. It is a climate reminiscent of her home, one which suits her well. The king has welcomed us, and it is a pleasant area. I would not mind dwelling there again, for a time."

"Ah, then good! We shall continue with our travels with Penelo at the helm." Thinking of his night at Figaro, a whimsical smile settled upon the bard's face as he thought about Penelo. Dancing the night away within the moonlight was a nice way to celebrate their victory over the Ant Lion, but was the perfect way to celebrate this idea of becoming anew. Instead of wallowing in his despair, Penelo gave him the hope he needed to carry on. While Anna shall always be within his heart, Edward truly felt he could start new on Gaia.

"Figaro is so beautiful at night, Mjrn. Just a sight that must be seen by all."

Mjrn nods, remembering well. "The sky is so clear, and the stars are a wonderfully bright contrast. It is a sight I will welcome again. Perhaps we may see an echo of it here, when the sun sets." She stares at the horizon, imaging the display to which they will bear witness, should they linger.

"I am sure we shall, Mjrn. The coast's sky is free of clouds, and the sun never shined so brightly before until now. Perhaps a feast of sparkles and shimmers shall await us at twilight." Gazing up at the sky with such a smile, Edward glanced over towards the Viera again before waving her along.

"I suppose we should rejoin the others, I must say that I'm getting a tad hungry now." He certainly hoped that this merry band of adventurers were smart enough to bring along some treats with them.

The Viera was not worried; Garden had enough supplies for everyone, even if the other traveling friends had forgotten. She nods joining alongside him. "Aye...and perhaps we will hear your music later?"
