Gareth nodded. "My quarrel with you cannot interfere with Alicia's dream. We will settle things later, just you and I."

"... I'm not..." Fenn sighed. ... Once again, the call... Does it keep coming back to me... Why? Everytime I say no, all I get is more begging and pleading... He thought. The wind blew slightly, moving Fenn's cape. "... I shall resume for a bit... But when I am ready to leave, that will be the end of things." He said.

"Good to have you along. We're going to need all the help we can get in the future." Gareth started walking again, cradling Alicia in his arms as they continued on.

"Thank you..." Alicia smiled quietly.

From that point on, Gareth plodded along silently until they reached Bastok. The sun was just coming up over the mountains when they entered the city, reminding him how much time had passed. "Let's get you home. You need a few days to recover."

"No home..." Alicia muttered quietly. "I ran away from it."

"... I have a place." Fenn said. "Come on I'll get us there." He led them through the markets and past the auction house into the residential district. He pulled a key from his pocket and opened the door. "... Home sweet home." He said rather dully. He entered and started a fire. "... Pekku, are you here?" He asked.

"P-pekku?" Alicia asked as she squirmed slightly, wanting to be placed down.

Gareth laid Alicia down on the bed and sat beside her. "Go to sleep, Alicia. You need some time to recover."

Suddenly, a white thing jumped out of the sheets. "AIE! DON'T SIT ON ME, KUPO!" It exclaimed.
"Ah, there you are, Pekku. I have some guests." Fenn said.
"Oh! Hello, Mister Fenn's Guests! I'm Pekku, Kupo! Nice to meet you!"
"A... Moogle..." The girl's eyes widened as she looked over the moogle.

Gareth had to suppress a laugh at the unfortunate moogle. "Nice to meet you, Pekku."

"That's... a moogle...?" Alicia blinked, not able to gather what a moogle truly was.

"Yep. Moogles are responsible for a lot of the services offered in Vana'diel. They look after Mog Houses like this, for example." Gareth let out a small smile at Alicia. "You haven't seen one before?"

Alicia shook her head.
"Never lived in a home, remember."

"Most adventurers are allowed free board upon joining a nation's ranks... Or have you not joined Bastok's ranks?" Fenn asked, still at the fire. He pulled out a tea kettle and poured several glasses of tea.

"Well now should be as good a time as ever. Bastok's fair to those who fight for her; you'll have no problems getting a Mog House of your own." Gareth tried to lighten the mood, not liking the oppressive air that fell over the room.

"... If you wish to fight..." Fenn said. "I'm no fighter... All I do is help guard the gate against Beastmen."

"Pfft." Alicia rolled over in the bed. 'Wow, this is kinda comfy...' She thought before responding.
"I have no intention of siding with anyone. It could turn into a war for all I know. And I don't want to be caught in that." She murmured, falling asleep.

Gareth looked at Alicia with a mixture of sadness and... something else. He reached out and touched her hair with the utmost gentleness before pulling back. No. I must stay faithful to Mira's memory. The red mage stood and walked to the door, muttering, "Take care of her, Fenn. I have to go somewhere."
