A casual encounter
Characters: Seifer and Penelo
Progress: Complete
Summary: Seifer is attempting to learn the lay of the land in Alexandria and Penelo is finishing preparations for her trip.
Location: Alexandria in the square
Date: Jan 23, early morning
Warnings: Seifer is cranky and might cuss?
Aside from her clothing not looking anything like the natives, Penelo could have passed for any other citizen or tourist of Alexandria. One glance at her attire though gave her away as someone from a far warmer climate than where she was. Regardless, the shopkeepers had no difficulties taking her very little gil, newcomer or no. Having worked at Migelo's, she knew a thing or two about the game of selling and buying and negotiated herself fair prices.
Satisfied that she was as prepared as she was going to be, she walked through the square, pausing to look to the skyline and catch a glimpse of the castle before she departed. It truly was pretty here, and she wouldn't have minded settling down and finding some work and a home. However, Fran was waiting for her in Lindblum, or would be soon. One of these days, it'd happen. She'd have a peaceful life again.
An airship flew overhead, and she followed its path with her eyes, leaving her standing in the square gawking. It seemed that the only real air travel in this area was cargo transport or nobility transport only. Oh well, her own two feet served just as well.

He recalled her mentioning she was going to Lindblum, yeah, but... well, nope, he didn't know where he was going. For all he knew, Lindblum was at some other gate. Or, uh, something.
But at least he didn't need to admit that he didn't know where he was going. "Well, I cut our 'conversation' short, and for all I know, you're one of those types who has to have the last word. You could've been followin' me because you thought I was rude or something."
Then he realized maybe he could use this girl to his advantage. If she knew where she was going (which he'd ask), then he could follow her out. He wasn't too thrilled with the prospect of working together with someone, but... his options were kind of limited, now that he thought about it. Unfamiliar continent and very few gil to spend on supplies... well, regardless of his high confidence, it might be a tough trip. And he decided he would like to get to his posse in one piece, wherever they may be.
"Why? Do you know where you're goin'?"

Taking a deep breath, she suggested, "Let's try this again. I'm Penelo. If you need anything, just ask." Honey always caught more steelings than vinegar anyway. She skipped her way around him, continuing on to the gate, but playfully placing herself in the lead.
