[CHAPTER 03 - SCENE] Everlasting

Who: Philia Felice, Colette Brunel, Estellise Sidos Heurassein
Where: Daath Marketplace
When: Before everybody disperses from Daath.
Warnings: None.

It seemed as if Philia was always the one stuck doing the shopping. Not that she minded, since it was something she was "good" at, but nonetheless it didn't put her smack dab in the middle of all of the excitement. The marketplace of Daath was a place she was familiar with anyhow whenever she did a sandwich run for when she locked herself up for days studying. At least it was nice seeing several familiar faces about the marketplace she hadn't seen in a while due to her assignment.

Since they hadn't had any sign of moving for a while, Estelle was taking every chance she had to go explore the city of Daath. She'd never been here before, and she wasn't sure if she'd have an opportunity to be here again ... and if she did, it'd likely not be for a long while.

So right now, she was in the marketplace. And as such, in the middle of lots of stands, people, and ... well, people.

As Estelle turned to walk toward another stand, she caught sight of one of those people; someone very familiar. Estelle's lips curled into a bright smile as she made her way over to the girl with the green hair and the glasses.

"Philia! Over here!" She called out, waving an arm frantically, trying to get her attention from her place in the crowd.

Colette jogged through the streets, doing her best to dodge passersby, occasionally windmilling her arms when her toes caught on the gaps between the flagstones. She'd gotten preoccupied talking to another girl in the Order, and had almost lost sight of Philia in the crowd, but she was following her friend's bobbing green braids and was going to catch up sooner or later.

...Hold on, had someone just called out to Philia? Colette picked up her pace a little, straining to see who it might be.

Well, this was unexpected; wearing her usual smile, Philia turned to her two friends. "What a coincidence!" She exclaimed. "Miss Estelle, this is Miss Brunel. Miss Brunel, this is Miss Estelle." She introduced the two. "Miss Brunel and I were in the middle of shopping; would you care to join us?" She asked, inviting the pink-haired girl along.

Estelle bounded over there as quickly as she could, occasionally having to give off a few quick apologies and 'excuse me!'s in order to finally make it over toward her friend, and ... um. New friend?

New friend. With a giant smile, Estelle bowed politely at Colette.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Brunel!" And then she looked to Philia. Her expression brightened more, if that was even humanly possible.

"I would love to join you two! Ah, if Miss Brunel doesn't mind .."

"Oh, no, no! I'd love for you to come with us, Miss Estelle! And it's so nice to meet you, too!"

Positively beaming, Colette bowed back, even managing to maintain her balance--mostly. But hopefully Philia and Estelle wouldn't notice her slight wobble.

"And you can just call me Colette if you want to, too!"

"Miss Brunel, are you all right?" Philia approached Colette, noticing her slight wobble with genuine concern. "How many times must I tell you to be careful! Neither of us have healing artes, so if anything serious were to happen to you there would be nothing we could do aside from cramming apple gels down your throat." Philia sighed.

Estelle was about to say something in return to Colette, but then took note of what Philia said regarding Colette being careful and neither of them having healing artes.

"Oh, I have healing artes!" Estelle chirped, but then realized what she said and flushed a little.

"B-But that doesn't mean you still shouldn't be careful!"

Colette waved her hands frantically, giving an awkward smile. It was no good--her face was probably approaching the shade of a tomato by now.

"Ehehe... I'm okay, I'm sorry, you don't have to worry about me!"

"Miss Brunel's most often-spoke phrase is her apologies." Philia explained to Estelle, laughing a little. And nothing else is as unreliable as one of her 'I'm okay's... Philia simply smiled. "We're preparing to leave Daath soon, so we've been gathering supplies. Are you staying for a while, Miss Estelle?" Philia inquired of Estelle.

Estelle blinked.

"Leaving? To go where, Philia ...?" She asked, before she heard Philia's question about what she planned to do. She laughed a little, sheepishly.

"Um, Well ... I-I still don't know what Raven intends to do. He had some business here, but it may have been taken care of by now ..."

Estelle sighed. "Not to mention, Rhea's been missing for some time now. Raven and I haven't seen any sign of her. She said she was looking for someone, so we think maybe she went off to find that person on her own, but I'm still a little worried."

She put on a smile again, though.

"I-In any case, I'm following Raven for the time being, and waiting for him to give some indication of where we may be going."

"I hope you can meet up with... um, Ms. Rhea safely soon," Colette offered. She didn't know Estelle that well yet, but she could at least say this much safely and politely--she'd been awfully worried herself when she hadn't known where Fon Master Ion was, after all.

[ooc: Sorry for the late, you two. I've been hazy with Philia's motives ever since Zelos dropped and have been banking on a new Zelos since, but since it hasn't happened yet I'll just deal. My apologies]

Heading over to the next stall to purchase a set of gels, Philia listened to the two's conversation. "Hmm... we haven't quite decided yet. Ever since I parted ways with Sir Wilder, I... haven't really given it any thought. Aside from Keterburg, I've never left Daath before. I know I certainly can't stay here for the time being, though, so we'd at least head to the port." She tried to explain.

Estelle blinked.

"So ... you're leaving Daath, but you don't know where you're going?" She asked curiously, putting a finger to her chin in thought.

"Well, I'm sure Raven and I would certainly enjoy the company, if you two would like to come along with us. I can't imagine we'll be staying here for too much longer ... Rhea's got to be in the city somewhere, right? And if she did leave, then we have a duty to go find her! And it'd be helpful to have a few extra sets of eyes, and I'd love to travel with the both of you!"

And now Estelle was getting excited and ahead of herself. Good joooob, girl.

"O-oh? Well... we'd have to check with everyone, but even if we can't go with you, maybe we can at least travel together for part of the way..."

Colette still didn't know what the Fon Master had planned, but she didn't want to leave Ion without protection right now. It seemed like he and the Princess didn't have too many people to accompany them right now, too...

"I suppose..." Philia looked at Colette. She wasn't sure whether they should be open about the fact that their travel companions would be the crown princess of Kimalsca-Lanvaldear and the Fonmaster Ion, but Philia didn't think either Sir Raven or Miss Estelle were necessarily dangerous people. But moving around in a large group would certainly make things difficult, wouldn't they? In any case, Philia gave both of her shopping companions a smile.

"This is just off of the top of my head, but how about Chesedonia?" It was a neutral property, after all, and perhaps the Fon Master would be safest there.

"Chesedonia? The center of trade, right? A neutral territory in which one side is predominantly Malkuth territory, and one side is predominantly Kimlascan territory." Estelle seemed as if she were quoting something she'd read in a book.

Which, of course, she was.

She laughed a little, sheepishly, and nodded. "It sounds like a wonderful idea, to me. But I should probably ask Raven if he has any plans ..."

"I hope we can go together, though. It would probably be fun."

Yes, Colette decided, she really would like to get to know Estelle better. They seemed to have at least a few things in common, she was a nice person, and the more protection that the Fon Master had, the better--so it would be enjoyable for everyone, wouldn't it?

"It's not set in stone, but I'm certain that as long as we keep on traveling, we'll all somehow meet again!" Philia smiled at her companions. "Then we could probably catch up over a few Chocolate Fruit Parfaits, right?" She empahasized, glad that her creation finally had a name which didn't take five minutes to recite.

"If we see Sir Raven, I'm certain that he'd make an effort to make your wishes come true. After all, he seemed fairly protective of you, didn't he?" Philia commented aloud.

Estelle's eyes brightened over the mention of the Chocolate Fruit Parfaits. The last time Philia made them, they were phenomenal.

"Oh, that sounds wonderful, Philia! It's definitely something to look forward to!"

Estelle had to headtilt a little at that last question, though. "Protective? Well, I guess so ... I'd never noticed before," she admitted sheepishly.

Colette giggled a little, even as she thought to herself that it would be worth a separation to be able to enjoy more of Philia's cooking. (Though the everyday fare was already wonderful, she was sure her friend would come up with something even better to celebrate.)

"Raven, huh...?" It wasn't a name Colette was familiar with, at any rate. "What's he like?" If Philia and Estelle were friendly with him, she was sure he must be nice.

"A bit of a shady character, to be sure, but I'm sure there's worse out there." Philia commented on Raven, thinking particularly of Zelos. Oh, Philia, you'd best get Zelos out of your mind. "In any case, he seems mostly harmless. I'm sure you'd enjoy his company; at Choral Castle he was quite the gentleman, considering the company." Philia commented.

Noting that she had most of her shopping done, she smiled at her companions. "I do believe we must be going now, Miss Estelle; perhaps we may see you in Chesedonia, should it be in Lorelei's Score. Even so, I do hope thatg we meet once again one day." She paid Estelle a polite bow.
