Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Vaan finally makes it to Shumi Village and waits for Balthier and Co to pick him up.

Vaan shivered as he stood by the elevator. He had made it inside and had immediately been given a blanket but he refused anything else in waiting for his friends. He wanted to know what happened before his arrival. What was all this about... rescuing him from this Kefka guy? What had happened to get him taken and needing to be rescued?

The Strahl shot through the sky with wicked speed, curling and twisting, darting up and rocketing back down. Okay, so maybe he was a little excited to have it back. Having found it in the Port City Warjilis, Balthier was absolutely ecstatic. It wouldn't take away the pain of knowing Penelo's demise but it sure cushioned the blow.

After heading to Wutai to pick up Mjrn, Balthier and the vieran sisters headed for the Shumi Village to collect Vaan and perhaps meet with the eldest of the three viera.

Not that he was happy about the last part.

Balthier had a severe distaste for Jote. And she for him, as far as he could tell from the death stares he got whenever he was within a mile of her. She really was a sour old wench, but he suffered her for Fran's sake.

Darting towards the Village, the Strahl nestled safely and gracefully upon the ground and Balthier was first off to head to find Vaan. He had an extra blanket and warm food had been prepared on-board already. Really, if it was anyone else, he wouldn't have bothered but he had a soft spot for his protege.
