I am aware that it has been some time since I last made a communication, and I do not desire to be 'prompted' by this device.

Penelo, should you wish to seek out a cactoid, I volunteer myself to assist you. Their rarity may make it challenging enough to find one, but, since your sighting remains recent, we stand a chance. If we are able to secure

A cactoid? Those so cactus things aren't deformed Gleeful Cactus??

[dynast_daughter]

I'm afraid I have never heard of a Gleeful Cactus, as you refer to them. In Dalmasca, we know of them as cactoids. They have inhabited our deserts for as long as I can recall.

[herowithparasol]

Oh. In our world, we call them Gleeful Cactus. Nasty, as far as ghosts come.

[dynast_daughter]

I assure you, these are no ghosts. Their needles are proof of that.

[covered_wars]

Medicine, huh?

If you need an extra hand, count me in, lady.

[dynast_daughter]

Thank you. Yes, their flowers are used to cure many ailments amongst my people. With luck, the same will apply here.

[captain_basch]

I had not thought of that, Majesty.

A good idea. There is much need for medicine and any sort of help I am sure.

[dynast_daughter]

They will not surrender their flowers easily, but the benefits may well be worth the needles.

I must be a bit off kilter. I've been as quiet as yourself lately, Ashe. A cactoid hunt sounds interesting enough though.

Fancy finding some way to liven things up around here afterward?

[dynast_daughter]

I had noticed. I would enquire if you were well, but I realise this place is wearying to us all.

I daresay that, between us, we could devise something. Had you a thought?

[clean_cuffs]

As well as yourself, Ashe.

Possibly. It may involve explosives.

Honestly it can be so dull here I have entertained the thought of lending a hand to law enforcement. A sad thought indeed.

[dynast_daughter]

Explosives? Balthier...

Dull indeed, but law enforcement? How time can bring so drastic a change.
