"..." Fenn shook his head. "I'm not going to say anything about how many laws you're breaking right now, but I will say that those trees won't grow... At least not in any of our lifetimes." He said. "It takes 800 years for one of those trees to bear fruit."

He then looked at Alicia, then back to Gareth, then pulled a slip of paper from his pocket, showing it to the two.

"Oh man... you have your license!!!?" Alicia groaned. "Why aren't you riding around, mocking us!?"

"Even if it takes hundreds of years, I want her grave to be remembered. It's a personal wish; I'm not from Selbina, so I can use my knowledge however I wish. And dammit, I wish I had my license!" Gareth felt somewhat guilty at Fenn's words, thinking of how Mira would've reacted.

"Just because I have my license doesn't mean I have the money to rent a chocobo... I'm broke." Fenn said. "Besides... You're our fearless leader."

"What? Him!?" Alicia cried out. "Since when are you playing the suck up card?"

"Heh..." That was all Gareth said as they continued across the plateau, memories returning to him.

~Flashback~

"What kind of fruit is this, Mira?" Gareth looked up at the Valkurm Gourds hanging from the tree. "Are they good?"

~Mira~

"I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention to your words." Mira was staring across the strange horizon looming over the dunes. "Oh? Hey, what are you doing with those!?"

~Present~

"No, I was talking to you, kid." Fenn said to Alicia.

"Kid?" Alicia sighed deeply. "Well... hey I was kidding about the leader crap. You two are far more experienced than I am."

"Sorry, Captain. This is your mission. I am but one humble soldier for you to command." Fenn said.

"...You're mocking me, aren't you?" She kicked the dust up in front of her in a fuming gesture as she moved along. "Would you PLEASE stop? I mean seriously, I just said the magic word!"

"Of course, Captain." Fenn said with a smirk.

Alicia suddenly turned heel, her face now (somewhat) level with Fenn's. Her hand raised... and...

"Boop."

She flicked his nose. "I'm sure it'll hurt next time if you keep it up. God, old men."

"My apologies, Captian."

"I was just looking at them. Are they any good?"

~Present~

"You two sure get along well." Gareth commented as they walked. "So, what's next... Captain?"

~Here~

"YOU TOO!? You know... I should just stray along Ghelsba and leave you there!!!! The both of you!!!" She shouted with a roll of the eyes.

"I declare mutiny. The Captain is no longer fit for duty and needs some time to rest her mind." Fenn said coolly.

"Good, you can be leader!" She snapped back.

"Oh, no, I don't feel too good... And Gareth's a terrible leader... Cough." He said the last word as a word. "You'd better stay in command, Captain." Fenn retorted.

"I think I'll temporarily pass on the leadership to Gareth. I'm sure he'll last ten minutes until you feel better."

Fenn looked physically ill. "You'll kill us all, Captain."

"... That's fine. I'm sure you just cast poison on yourself." Alicia shrugged, moving on.

~Past~

"Never really had them. My brother was always eating them... and told me the flesh was pretty putrid." She quietly gazed at the gourd. "He never moved them away from the tree... I wonder why, actually." She wondered, not at all recalling the fertilization process.

"Let's just hurry on to San d'Oria." Gareth said in a clipped voice as he took the lead. "Shouldn't be too much trouble."

~Past~

"Think we should try one?" Gareth asked as he looked adoringly at Mira. "Maybe they're actually good and he just wants them for himself."

Alicia glared at the both of them before moving on. They were now entering San D'orian Territory.

"Heh... home sweet home is what I should say."

~Past~

"Well... we shouldn't. I mean what if we get in large trouble?" The girl wondered.

"San d'Oria... Land of Bigots and Orcs..." Fenn said. "Gareth, you should feel right at home here." He finished with a smile.

"Do you know anything about these? This is your homeland, after all." Gareth looked up at the gourds, curiosity stirring his mind.

~Present~

"Stop confusing me with yourself, Fenn. And Alicia, you used to live here?" The red mage looked between his companions as they entered West Ronfaure.

"Of course not... my parents do not want me out here very often..." She mumbled. "So I don't know what they really are. We should go back and ask!" She nodded, before suddenly buckling over, coughing.

~Present~

"Yeah, I told Fenn I was... kind of adopted." Alicia smiled before running ahead.

"Mira!" Gareth knelt beside Mira and listened intently to her coughs. "It sounds pretty bad... I'll get you back home." He picked the girl up and began carrying her on his back, running toward Selbina.

~Present~

"Huh... I've never been to San d'Oria before, but I've heard the Elvaan are pretty stuck up." Gareth continued leading the way until they reached the castle city's gates...

"Okay... thank you." The young woman muttered softly, coughing continuously.

~Present~

"They are... but only to outsiders. I've been raised by the Elvaan." Alicia shouted from across the woods, reaching the gate.

Gareth reached Selbina in a hurry, still holding Mira on his back. Several of the locals were startled at the sight...

~Present~

"So, is there any fun at all to be had in this town? San d'Oria's never seemed like a fun place to live." Gareth stretched as he walked toward the gate.

"H-help me..." Mira whispered, shivering as she continued to cough. "F-Fenn..."

~Present~

"There's a lot! Music, festivals... fishing... hide and seek... Play with the other kids... I haven't come back here in awhile actually..." The woman blushed, as if she was hiding something.

Gareth rushed to Mira's home and rapped on the door. "Hey Fenn! Open up!"

~Present~

The red mage smirked at his companion as the blush came to her face. "What are you hiding? come on, out with it."

"Once... well I had a crush on an elvaan..." She laughed, walking along. "I wonder how he's doing as of late?"
