[Haurchefant has named one of his pokémon after Aymeric? ...It causes the briefest of smiles to light her lips before she continues her tale.]

Your brothers are fine. Artoirel now leads your house--but no fears, your father is in perfect health. He simply decided to step down. As for Emmanellain ...he really has grown. You would be proud.

[But the story isn't over.]

We received once more the help of the dragons, which we needed--Nidhogg had both his eyes. The greatest battle yet faced us on the bridge to Ishgard. And somehow...somehow we prevailed. We even saved Estinien.

[She rests her head on Haurchefant's shoulder.]

At the end, when I thought all was lost, I saw you there. I saw you reaching out to me, both you and Ysayle, and that gave me the strength I needed to finish it.

[shieldless]

I'm sure I would be proud of him - though I wish I could tell him. I-- by Halone, I'm sure everybody has changed so much. My father deserves rest. And Francel... [ he trails off. His dearest friend - he never got to say goodbye to him, or see him much as everything happened. But that regret could be held for now. ]

[ Instead, he tries to hold back his sadness and anger, his grip loosening. ] It seems I missed the end by but a little - you took down a fully powered Elder Dragon?! Now that is a tale you must tell me more of later.

[ ...And even he appeared to her. But wait-- ]

Lady Ysayle passed?

[punchwizard]

...She did. She gave her life for us to fight off the Garleans so that we could pursue the Archbishop. I miss her terribly.

[The mention of Francel causes her to smile just a little. She'd grown a little closer to him as of late, bonded by their mutual late friend.]

Lord Francel is doing as fine as he can, at the least. I often see him when I visit your--

[She can't quite finish that, and the smile becomes more strained.]

[shieldless]

[ He holds her closer. Oh, he holds her so close that it might be seen as more of a couple hold then just him trying to care for her. To lose somebody who seemed to be another friend, and to go to his...

His...

He whispers it. ] My grave. [ There seemed to be none of his usual jovialness in that, as he placed his head on hers. A moment seemed to pass, as he held back his own pain. ] My apologies - we shouldn't spend this gift simply thinking of the past, should we?

[ He says, but he lingers forever in it. Haurchefant hasn't even noticed his own tears, as he pulls back a little. ]

...Shall I show you what passes for a Dragon in this land?

[punchwizard]

[Naltryd, however, does notice the tears. It's the first time she's seen Haurchefant in such a state. Of course, she can't blame him at all--the fact that he's still managing, knowing what happened to him, is an amazing feat.

She reaches up, brushing those tears away from his eyes, wanting to comfort him as much as he's always comforted her.]

Why not? I'm sure that there's much you can teach me about this land.

[shieldless]

[ He looks to where his Mareep - and her Growlithe - were - before getting out one of the Pokeballs he carried on his belt. A soft smile crossed his lips. ]

This land decided to give me one as my beginning partner - though she looks... quite strange.

[ Gently, he pressed the button on the Pokeball - and out came his Goomy, who lets out a pleased cry, beginning to crawl towards him again. ]

Her name is Huguette - and have you ever seen such a beast? No scales, and she shows only affection.

[punchwizard]

[She's still getting used to the pokéball thing. Her Growlithe mostly stays at her side, and she hasn't caught many others yet.

She crouches down in order to get a look at the pokémon, who is honestly too cute for her own good, and Naltryd can't help but feel cheered up. For the tough exterior she tries to put on sometimes, she has a weakness for cute things.]

This is a dragon? It looks nothing like one! I wonder why they call it such? Still, she's...adorable.

[shieldless]

Isn't she? And those eyes - they show no malice. [ Nor strength - but seeing her posture change makes Haurchefant smile a little bit more. For he has been getting used to the Pokeballs, but these are his allies.

Even his little dragon. ] She's no enemy, even if she is classified as one. Though I've heard she evolves to a larger beast - perhaps dear Huguette simply holds a form to make me comfortable.

[ yup that is goomy protesting bubbles ]
