The Palace of St. Bevelle

*Hitomi wanders around town.*

*Ark gets up and walks out, bumping into Hitomi*

Ark: <Oh, hi there.>

"Hello."

Ark: <So, whatcha up to?>

"Nothing."

Ark: <Don't you have anyone you want to see in the Farplane?>

*He leans forward to look into her eyes and smiles*

"No."

Ark: <Imma go and find a shop to get some stuff. Are you coming or...?>

"I was just there."

Ark: <Oh, all right.>

*He turns around and then back to her*

Ark: <Oh yeah, here.>

*He hands her the two roses*

Ark: <One of them was for Luna but... yeah. See ya soon!>

*Hitomi stands staring at the roses like "What the hell am I supposed to do with these?"*

*Luna walks up.*

"I knew he had a thing for you! So, is everyone ready to go?"

"He said one of these is for you."

Zephyr returns from the farplane with a downcast look on his face and heads towards the inn.

*Ark heads into the shop and smiles with his eyes closed again*

Ark: <Hey!>

<What do you want, kid?>
====================================
<Hey. 90 Gil a night!>
====================================
"Oh really? I don't know, I think he'd want you to have it."

He turns back and meets up with the party.

"I don't know what to do with them."

Ark: <I'll take 3 Grenades, 2 Smoke Bombs, Drain Blade and a Phoenix Down, please.>

"Oh, I'm sure you'll figure something out. Oh. Hey, Zephyr."
===============================
*The shopkeeper gets the items around & hands them to him.*

<And stay away from the register, boy!>

"Okay...?"

Ark: <What? I wasn't--I wouldn't--Ugh. Whatever.>

*He leaves with the items, leaving 2000 Gil on the counter*

"So, is everyone ready? The Thunder Plains is full of lightning monsters. We might want to think about that."

"I'm ready."

"I should probably go buy stuff..."
