Characters: Mjrn, Reks, Vaan? (Balthier and Fran, if they want?)
Progress: Ongoing.
Summary: Mjrn arrives in Guadosalam, searching for Reks.
Location: Guadosalam
Date: Jan. 1803
Warnings: Sap.

The journey to Guadosalam seemed to last forever, in Mjrn's mind. Once again, she cursed Gaia's lack of Gate Crystals, which would have made the trek a far shorter one. It was not present company which was the issue -Balthier and Fran were always appreciated and she was grateful to have Vaan around again- but the lack of specific company--namely, Reks. The young Viera was on edge and as such, likely made for a quiet travel companion. All her focus was elsewhere.

He was alive, fine, waiting. The whole scenario seemed surreal to the one who could still accurately picture the bloodstains on her hands, who heard his dying breath. The horrific images were so vivid that they were difficult to shed, even with seeing his face on the Sky Phone's screen. She prayed that seeing him in person again would banish those images to a far corner of her mind, even though they could never truly be forgotten.

As soon as the Strahl landed, Mjrn exited with all due haste and headed for the town nestled in the roots of the Iifa Tree. She glanced back briefly to see if Vaan was joining her, but other than that, her only thought was to find Reks as soon as possible. Upon crossing the threshold, she immediately started searching for his familiar face.
