[so cute...

flayn is on her way to the restaurant, but she stops when she spots alphinaud and his pal.]

Oh! Hello again, Alphinaud. Is that your... [what was the word from the profile...] Carbuncle?

[sageguidance]

[ He looks over his shoulder. ]

Good day, Flayn. Yes it is, and once again it is being a troublesome thing.

[ He says, like he's scolding it... but it's preoccupied with cookie. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Is it really so troublesome?

[she comes closer and crouches down to get a better look at it.]

It is so cute!

[sageguidance]

[ Mid cronch, the carbuncle looks up and chirps her way. ]

Hah, well... Only a little, but I can't let it get too spoiled now.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she gives it a little wave! hello, carbuncle!]

Have you named it?

[sageguidance]

Ah...

[ He looks a little sheepish. ]

Perhaps... not quite. It is common to refer to one's carbuncle by the gemstone which they were created from, but other than that, I've not named it.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she looks up at him curiously]

The gemstone? What gemstone was this little one created from, then?

[sageguidance]

Aye. This one, a moonstone.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see...

[she holds out a hand to pet the carbuncle. will it let her? she is watching it carefully, so if it seems uncomfortable, she'll pull back.]

Hello there, Moonstone. It is very nice to meet you!

[sageguidance]

[ Uncomfortable? Never. With a pleased trill, the carbuncle abandons the cookie for the time being in order to press its head against her hand, not unlike a cat wanting for affection. ]

I do believe it feels similarly, not that it is ever one to turn down fine company.

[fishingforcompliments]

[ohhhhhh. oh it's so cute. this carbuncle is getting all the pets.]

You are quite lucky to have such an adorable companion!

[sageguidance]

[ best day ever for carby ]

Do you know any magicks, Flayn? With a small amount of practice, a carbuncle is simple enough for a beginner to conjure.

[fishingforcompliments]

Is that so?

[she hums at that, thoughtful.]

Not to brag, but I am quite skilled at magic! ...although we are not able to use our abilities in places such as these, are we?

[sageguidance]

[ he shakes his head ]

We are not, but we won't be here forever, surely.

[fishingforcompliments]

That is true. Once we are free of this, we can each use our magic as often as we would like.

Might you consider teaching me to summon one of those, when that day comes?

[sageguidance]

Full glad I would be to do so! 'Twould be no trouble at all for one so practiced with magic—you need only memorize the formulas, and you will have it down in no time.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she beams at him]

I will be looking forward to it! Thank you, Alphinaud.

[sageguidance]

Of course.

—But I hope I have not distracted you from any business of import. Were you headed somewhere?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh! I am a bit hungry, so I was going to the restaurant for a meal. Would you care to join me?

[sageguidance]

It would be my pleasure. I suppose another besides Moonstone here could use for a repast.

[ The carbuncle, totally innocently, chirps. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Very well! Onward, then!

[to the restaurant!! flayn smiles as they walk the rest of the way.]

What sorts of things do you like to eat, Alphinaud?
