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.))

Narrowing his eyes and folding his arms a moment, Kain watched Edge warily. He knew that the other wasn't terribly fond of him, and had a right to feel that way. In some respects, the way he acted toward Kain was pretty much how Kain himself thought he deserved to be treated. Yet at the same time, his pride wouldn't entirely allow it. He would just have to put up with this conversation as best he could for now.

There was a long pause, until he grudgingly accepted his hand. "Fortunate for you, there were plenty out there to deal with. I only regret that Cecil isn't here to be part of this."

Edge smirked, "He'd have been lucky if there were any left, the way we ran through them." While Edge lamented Cecil's disappearance, he was still unsure of Kain's true feelings on the subject. Still, a victory celebration was neither the time or place for discussions of that nature to take place.

Kain had a good idea of what Edge might think about the manner... and hated the fact that he would be right. Not that Kain wanted Cecil to be gone entirely, but... well... this did end discussion of the wedding for now. Even though at the same time he felt guilty, for Rosa's sake...

"I doubt he would have had much left to deal with..." As guilty as it made him feel to think this way, it also made him seem like he'd somehow done much better than Cecil just for the fact of being there.

Edge turned toward Rosa, seeing the exhaustion that was deep within her body.

"We didn't really need his help fighting, but if he was around, Rosa wouldn't be so tired. Don't worry about her. I'll look after her until Cecil come back."

"You'll look after her?" Kain sounded doubtful. But... especially after Memoria had dredged up painful moments of the past, he knew better than to trust himself with such a task. He was also all too aware that Edge might be thinking with the same logic.

While it was true he would rather be gallivanting across Gaia, he knew the look of Rosa's demeanor. Looking out into the horizon, "She needs our help. I wouldn't have any fun out there knowing that she was tired and lonely back here."

He spared a glance towards Kain, "Besides, she is rather easy on the eyes."

"She's-" Yes, Kain had to agree wholeheartedly about that opinion, but stopped himself abruptly from doing so aloud. He was afraid of how it would sound. Afraid that he would no doubt say the wrong thing if he kept going... So after an awkward and tense silence, he finished with, "...I know that she's in need of assistance, and we will give it to her. As we've done this time against those pirates."
