Around the dormitories
It was like Archades, this tower -- at least, these floors -- densely populated, naught but a faint irritant to her senses. Her ears and nose had acclimatized to so great an increase in population years ago already.

Dulled, Jote had said. Reluctantly, Fran had to agree.

Her heels click against the flooring, cautious, but unafraid. As with all infrastructures made with humes in mind, she must dip through doorways to avoid clipping her ears against the frame. No matter. She was long accustomed to that, too.

Behind her thick ponytail rests the Fomalhault, unloaded, easily accessible. If trouble stirred, magick would be her first choice. Fran does not care for the sound of a gunshot in a small, enclosed area. It made her ears ring.

To those with idle hands, she asks, "Have you seen a man in a golden vest? He fancies himself the leading man, and would introduce himself as such."

Floor 20/21
She moves past the restaurant, intending to return to it later. Now, she stands on the stone ramp, assessing the area. Grey fog surrounds the tower, a suffocating presence, denser than any mist she had ever seen. For a fleeting second, anxiety pierces her heart. This isolation, this lack of mist -- for the first time in her life, Fran feels truly alone.

Her hair shifts lazily with the breeze, and she calms. Balthier's scent had yet to turn up and she knew that he would not be wasting his time out here. Fran turns around and makes her way back to the restaurant.

Floor 1
Fran is walking through the kitchen, surveying the stocked goods with a lifted brow. She flicks her long nails at a few canned goods, as if to test their authenticity. She casts a glance over to those eating their meals, a subtle resignation in their shoulders, even if they did not outwardly appear defeated.

Balthier had not been here, either.

It is entirely possible that he had not survived the Bahamut's fall. While Fran is willing to accept this, she would not do so prematurely. Each floor demands her attention before a verdict was made.

Her stomach, too, demands attention. She ignores it for now. Oatmeal is not high on her list of desirable edibles, though she has survived on worse.

"This whole situation is preposterous." Which he could appreciate in its cleverness but not when he was the captive and not the instigator. The magnitude of the situation was irritating him and he dearly hoped that somehow this was all some bizarre scheme by his father to teach him a lesson for the whole, trying to rule earth and kill of an entire race and all that. It was so unfair.

What Loki did not appreciate was her not showing him near enough respect.

"What is your name?"

"I did," Loki immediately lied, looking nonplussed and even bored as he looked back the way he had come. "Back there was a man in gold." He wasn't precisely inaccurate, for he was wearing much gold and had just been back that way. He turned back to Fran and gave her a slight smile. "You may be able to catch up with him for it was not moments ago."
