Characters: Rosa and anyone in Troia who helped with the pirate situation
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Rosa thanks everyone for coming to her aid
Location: Troia
Date: Early Feb
Warnings: Vayne being a creeper? None really for now


Cecil's departure had very nearly set Rosa's world upside down. In fact, she had come to wonder how she was still upright. Rydia's arrival had been a blessing, as the summoner had practically forced her to sleep and even though she'd slept fitfully, at least she'd rested some. Something was always better than nothing.

She'd done what she could for the people of Troia, following Vayne's strategical suggestions thoroughly. Once reinforcements had arrived, the pirates had been conquered and Rosa could now rest easily. As soon as she had finished patching up those who had been injured in the subsequent battles and made sure the citizens were all right still, Rosa knew she needed to thank those who had come to her aid. Without them, she and the town of Troia would have been overrun in a matter of minutes.

So, she'd issued an order for everyone to either meet in the middle of the town or to allow her to find them. With any luck at all, those who had assisted her would allow her this one final request.


((OOC: feel free to create separate threads or whatever you guys feel like doing. If you need a Rosa specifically, specify that you're looking for her, or I'll just assume she found them to thank them.))

He knew that he should offer to stay back and help Rosa settle Troia. His mind warred with the responsibility of ruling a Kingdom and the chance to see the Lunar Whale again. He couldn't imagine the stress that was being placed on her.

"She knows where her responsibility lies."

Rydia wondered if Edge would volunteer to help Rosa, but she didn't want to force any decision on him. Some small, selfish part of her was glad that he wanted to go with her, even as she worried for her white mage friend. But in all likelihood, the trip shouldn't be that long, anyway.

She glanced back to the crowd, some of which was beginning to disperse. "At least this will die down, soon. I'm almost ready to head back to the castle, unless there's something urgent that needs to be done."

Edge was used to the crowds. This is what castle life was all about. He would always be surrounded by crowds. Rosa's work had just begun. The least he could do was get back to the "party" and help her sort her "guests" before any decided they were going to stay and partake of her gratitude forever. "I should rescue Rosa from her subjects."

Peering at Rosa, Rydia's expression softened. "I'll stick around long enough to help with that, if there's need. It wouldn't feel quite right slipping away before she does."

She allowed herself a moment longer of relaxation before straightening, forcing herself to appear more alert and awake than she felt.

Edge shook his head, "I can take care of this." As worried as he was watching Rosa stand their looking pale and weak, he wasn't about to let Rydia take on the weight of Rosa and Troia. Hoping he could spare her the realities of ruling a kingdom, he encouraged her to get a hot meal, followed by a good night's sleep.

Rydia resisted, at least at first. She worried for Rosa too much, even though Edge apparently knew what he was doing when it came to running castles and the like. Still, she could be partially appeased by a promise to see to Rosa as long as she needed it. Only then, and after seeing that there were no emergency issues to handle, would the summoner depart for sleep.

Edge watched her head off. It took all his self-control not to follow, but it was Rosa that needed his help. He was beginning to wonder if was going to be able to follow Rydia on her search for the Lunar Whale or if he was to be stuck governing Troia. With a final glint in eye from the view he beheld, he turned back to crowd looking to rescue Rosa from whomever was monopolizing her time at the moment.
