Several years later…
Mysidia
-Now this feels like the present. Porom’s all pink-haired and older.
-Cid and the Falcon show up to give her a ride to Mist for a visit. She’s annoyed the Palom didn’t show up, but moves ahead.
-…and Palom was already on the ship, having boarded on Baron. He didn’t tell her this change of plans, and he all of a sudden shows that he’s SUPER TEENAGERY.
You’re not the boss of me!

Mist
-Hi, Rydia!
-Palom wants Rydia to take him to the Feymarch! Same conflict as with Tellah. On one hand, I’m glad he respects her enough to ask. On the other, it makes me kind of sad that this was the main reason for his visit rather than just to see Rydia for itself.
Rydia sounds open to the idea here, but I have serious concerns about how the Eidolons will react to Palom’s particular… ahem, charm.
-Porom will go too, but she sounds reluctant to adventure out like that. And Cid!
-Or maybe Cid’s just the wheel man.
-Rydia’s mom’s grave: “Here lies the motherly summoner who protected our village.” :(
-Random Mistian: “Thanks to Rydia, Cecil, and the young man who sneaks in here sometimes, we couldn’t feel more secure.” What young man? Ceodore? One of the mystery characters, like the guy who accompanied Ceodore?

Ship
-They’re stopping at the Dwarven Castle. Yay! More Luca!
-LOL – Palom’s not happy about this. Romance gone south?
-New moon time.

Dwarven Castle
-Some “weirdos” left the pub recently with luggage, complaining about lack of sleep. Huh?
-HEE! IT’S THE GAME DEVELOPERS!
-More treasure pillaging…
-The Devs’ office is closed. They moved, and even left a note saying “Do not even try to look for us.” I guess they’re really gone.
-Luca’s apparently hates dwarven fashion, and so struck out to set her own style.
-Luca isn’t anti-Palom… she wants to join… why is Palom so eager to leave?
-AHA! Giott says that Luca goes on and on about Palom before Luca stops him. XD
-Hm. Cid and Luca both joined my party, but are not in my party window. Are they non-combat characters?
Or maybe it’s like FFIII. In that game, my main party would sometimes get side characters tagging along who I couldn’t control, but who would randomly cast spells or fight in combat.
-Off we go!

Ship
-LOLOL Luca and Palom flirting awkwardly is kind of adorable. So maybe it’s a mutual crush, but Palom has no idea wtf to do.
-Luca will stay with the ship and Cid will work on repairs.

Next time: Into the Feymarch.
