Minfilia channels a bit of Alphinaud and finds it strange that the Alliance leaders should think themselves worthy of celebration, having sat aside and let the invasion go by, allowing sellswords to defend Ishgard instead of their standing armies. Though, if they strike while the iron is hot, and moods are jubilant, this might be the best opportunity they have to convince Ishgard to rejoin the Alliance.
Unfortunately, that well-deserved break is out of the question for Satznswys. Tataru goes to contact the rest of the Scions with the news.
She seems overworked. Minfilia notices it too.
Strange. Tataru's not at her desk.
Satznswys hopes everything's okay.
Looking around Revenant's Toll, Satznswys finds Tataru on the roof of the temporary workshop of the Ironworks. She feels like the things she's been doing: bookkeeping, managing personnel, arranging for supplies, all mean very little in light of the deeds of Satznswys and the Scions and the Seventh Dawn. Just hearing her out is enough, and she resolves to talk to Minfilia about it.
Back in the Solar, the two are already talking things over, and Tataru is requesting a leave of absence, though Minfilia suspect's it's not for a vacation.
Along with the adventurers she's met, the Crystal Braves, the Scions are caught in terrible danger constantly. Even newer recruits like Hoary Boulder and Coultenet have grown in their own skills to become strong warriors in their own right.
And, with that, she heads out, full-tilt, banging into Hoary Boulder on the way.
Hoary Boulder reports that an adventurer who was to work with he and Coultenet was injured on patrol. He's in need of at least one other guard to protect the scholars they're defending.
The scholars in question have been taking aetheric readings to help better understand the impact of primal summonings on the land. Naturally, this means going into some dangerous places, and they are in need of escort. Satznswys agrees, but before she goes, Minfilia has something else on her mind: the conversation with Tataru.
She mentions that Urianger has said she's expressed an interest in arcanima, the magicks behind the art of the Arcanist. She believes Tataru makes for Limsa Lominsa to enter the Arcanist's Guild.
