[Luceti, Cecil has a question for you.]

Which would be easier to prepare: a roast, a stew or a meat pie?

[...Along with one that is slightly less horrifying.]

Also, after a mission, would you rather take the immediate rewards or the points we can trade? Those patches that can hide us from the droids look useful, but that '80%' of theirs is far from reassuring.

Whoa, we're getting some?

[This is best news! The only thing Ceodore likes as much as Selphie is eating. Double bonus if it involves getting to see parents in the delivery process.]

Of course. Rydia is helping, which means it should be edible.

[Probably. He hopes.]

Oh. She's good too.

[Don't you just love how Ceodore will eat anything not nailed down and proclaim it tasty?

...and now the rest of the message finally kicks in while Ceodore's just futzing with the journal.]

Uh, were you planning on doing one of those missions?

...Perhaps. Some of those mission types seem safe enough, and many of the rewards are worth obtaining.

[He'll get the kids those patches if it kills him. Really.]

Yeah. I'd like to get something to keep them from taking Selphie.

[Think about himself? Naaaaaaaaah.]

That is one of my goals, I assure.

[Sorry, kiddo, but he's getting yours first.]

Oh that's great! I'll help!

[So enthusiastic!]

Are you certain? It'd involve deliberately working for the Malnosso.

[Which he'd been hoping to avoid in the first place.]

[With the drafts, it's already too late for that.]

I'm certain. I'd do anything to keep her safe.

[The key word there is 'deliberately'.]

In that case, please choose your mission carefully. Worrying for you would not be good for her health.

[Or his.]

I can handle it.

[Well... maybe.]

I know. But with the Malnosso involved, even merely guarding a storehouse could go wrong.

[Complete faith in Ceodore. Complete lack of faith in their captors.]

[There's a long lapse of silence in there. Ceodore caught on to that vote of confidence and still isn't entirely sure it's merited. But... he still likes it. Give him a minute to sort this out for himself.]

You think so?

[He's not actually asking about the possibilities of things going wrong. Too bad he's not got the sense to clarify that.]

[Luckily, he can cover both possibilities in one fell swoop.]

Of course. I'd certainly not waste your talents guarding a simple heap of turnips; I've no doubt they think the same.

[This is a new and novel feeling and you can almost hear the pleased smile in his voice, while at the same time he's being quite earnest.]

I'll do my best not to disappoint you.

Managing to disappoint me would take the greater effort, I believe.

[His 'neutral' mode being 'so very very proud'.]

I... I'm not sure I deserve that, Father.

[But he'd sure like to earn it.]

Oh? Why would you not?

[He's expecting well-thought arguments, young man.]

I've not done anything to prove myself yet.

[That's his argument more or less. Getting a mummified rat tail doesn't count. Because it was a mummified rat's tail and he didn't experience any miraculous transformations.]

...I suppose I do have the advantage of foresight in this case. I've seen you prove yourself quite a few times, before I arrived. I've also heard what happened on your way to Baron.

[He thinks surviving on the road with no one but Kain for company is proving yourself plenty enough, thank you.]

You know about that?!

[He's thinking about falling off the cliff. Not one of his finer moments. And well... all the rest of the Red Wings going down in the airship crash. Sad times. Nothing to be proud of at all.]

Parts of it, at least. Goodness knows the Devil's Road is far from kind to travellers, especially the first time.

[No one involved was stupid enough to say anything about mountain-climbing to him.]

[...until now.]

You weren't talking about the mountain?

[...Ceodore really does want Kain dead, doesn't he.]

The mountain? What mountain?
