Characters: Mjrn and Reks
Progress: Ongoing.
Summary: Mjrn returns from her wandering around Treno to find Reks concerning whatever is on his mind.
Location: Treno
Date: May, 1803 (slightly backdated)
Warnings: Nah.

Mjrn barely noticed her surroundings as she turned her steps toward the inn, lost in thought. It was a bad habit to have around Treno, with pickpockets and worse roaming the streets, but she couldn't help it. Too much was on her mind, and it was probably just as well that the hour was late, as all that turmoil -and a futile attempt to walk it off- was exhausting her.

She caught sight of the inn and quickened her steps. Reks' request was not forgotten and in truth, it had her a bit worried. Perhaps there was no need to be, but she always equated urgency with bad news. Hopefully, she was wrong. Reks had just reunited with Vaan and she didn't want anything tainting that happiness.

As quietly as she could, Mjrn stepped inside, closing the door behind her.

Mjrn smiled upon spotting Reks, nodding. "It is no trouble. I ought to have returned earlier." Much earlier, though her mind began to shift away from her wandering and the thoughts that prompted it. She glanced around the room and pointed to an unused corner table. "There."

That seemed secluded enough, and so she headed towards it. Once seated, she leaned in a little to rest her chin atop her folded hands, her stare a blend of curiosity and concern. "Your message seemed urgent. Is all well?"

For a moment, Mjrn was confused. Heard about what? She had been so wrapped up in issues of her sisters and Doctor Tot that it took a moment for her to remember what she had distractedly seen news of on the device at some point during the day. "Have I--oh! Do you mean the Queen's celebration?"

Mjrn waited for him to finish, then tilted her head a little when he paused. She wasn't sure what was wrong, but there was no reason to be nervous around here, was there? "...Reks?"

Mjrn's hearing was excellent, but even she had trouble discerning what was meant in that long string of words. Still, he worried about causing him anxiety with asking him to repeat it again. Which might have lead to more while she took a moment to process that, then her eyes widened a touch as she realized what he meant. Suddenly, she felt silly for not having guessed a moment ago. "You...oh! Yes, I will come with you!"

There was a small, shy smile as Mjrn nodded. "Yes, I will. I would very much like to go--with you." She tilted her head, curious. "You thought I would refuse?"

Mjrn shook her head. "There is no need for apologies--I understand. I was not expecting this...but I am glad you asked me, nonetheless." She had been looking forward to the festivities anyway, but now there was another reason, and that made her all the more eager for that time to arrive.
