[ Gods, and people complain that Peony has too much vim and vigor. Usually Alisaie is a match for her when it comes to setting out on an adventure, but this is juuust to check out one of the Empire's old strongholds to make sure there's no one, imperial or otherwise, making use of their rusting magitek. It should be fairly routine, but she wouldn't be upset even if that didn't turn out to be the case...

Not that she should wish for trouble, given how easily it always seems to find them, but still...things have been quiet since they returned to the Source.

Already saddled onto Freshley's back, Peony trots up next to Alisaie and Chobi, grinning from ear to ear. Alisaie's excitement is infectious. ]

Hey, some of us didn't just wake up from a year's-long nap! You know if you strain yourself, I'll sic Krile on you, and I won't be sorry.

[ Not that anyone can really strike fear into Alisaie...but Krile might come close? ]
