"Ah, there you are, my friend!" A delighted voice grabs your attention. The
small Lalafell bustles through the doors of the Fortemps manor, a place she
has called her home for the last couple of turbulent weeks.
She comes bearing a hamper stuffed to the brim with goods, wrapped foods,
colourful candies and a couple of delicate looking long bottles that are
filled with sweet liquors made from the Bajra Cactus that is native to
Ul'dah.
He can barely see Piña over the size of the thing, as she pops it up on the
table. She had to weasel her way back into her city for this, and her
family members had all loaded up her favourite things for her necessary
exile. Each item, Hauchefant can see, has a hand written tag on it, with
various well wishes.
For the Road! Cocola Cola x Around one of the bottles of Liqour,
there is a small brooch decorated with two small hand axes clipped to the
paper.
Don't get dead, idiot. - Cacado Cado Is a note that perches itself
on top of a box of handcrafted candied fruits.
You're doing so well, kiddo. Love you so much! This one's for the tall
handsome elf, Thank you so much for taking Piñara in.- Mama C xx Lies
tied across a deep blue cashmere scarf.
"Ah, Mama made this one for you, Hauchefant." She grins as she passes the
package to him.
Haurchefant had been spending much of his time in Ishgard as of late. He wasn't skirting his duties, of course, but he wanted to make sure that their charges were settled in proper.
He may have fretted a bit upon hearing her short escapade. The elezen knew that the seasoned adventurer could take care of themselves with ease, but it didn't do much to calm his slight nerves until she had returned. A look of relief is evident on his face. "You've returned! I could not help but worry for a moment. It was foolish of me to have to, but I imagine that it was also no simple feat!"
It honestly pained him that she would be separated from her family for an indefinite amount of time. Hopefully, her name would be cleared sooner than later. He still thought it was shocking that someone with her reputation would be treated like a criminal, but there was naught that could be done. It was wonderful that her family was so caring though. "Your family love you quite so. You will surely have a home to return to once this is all over," he replies with a warm smile.
That smile turns into a slight look of surprise as he takes the item from her. "For me? I am honored!" He looks a little more like a child in a candy store than a grown man. "I hope that I can thank her proper in the future for something so exquisite." That scarf is already going to see some use as he's already wrapping it around his neck. "How does it look on me?"
She laughs as he frets over her, worrying that she may have been caught.
"You aught not worry, my friend, The Colada clan has friends, well, everywhere in Thanalan. T'was not such a large feat to slip in unnoticed." She winks at him. Her family is very good at running interference. It was easy to ask the guards nicely to look the other way, as a couple of them were her cousins. It wasn't difficult to get into town, as Lalafell are a dozen a dime in the City. It was easy to waltz into the Colada Commission and grab her things.
"Your order is ready for collection, Madam." Her sister had said, a cold steel in her voice. Not at her, no, but at the situation that had lead to this. "We hope we will see your patronage again soon."
"Of course, Dear Cocola. You will thank your family for me, I trust?"
"Come back alive. You can thank them yourself."
"We are a family, and to us, that means doing our best by each other regardless of how we feel about the other. We're so large that you're bound not to like every single one of them!" She picks out the candied fruits from her brother. They had a falling out over crops once, and they're getting better, but they'll still argue for the best ways to cultivate.
She grins as Haurchefant as he dons her mother's scarf.
"As most things do , Haurchefant, attractive." She chuckles. "It brings out your eyes, Dear."
"Now, I won't tempt you with the Liquor whilst you're on duty but - hm - ah!" She rummages through the basket and pulls out a small, unassuming brown sack, sealed tight.
"How about some fresh-as-you-can-get Coffee from the Gardens of Ul'Dah?" She opens the pouch and the scent of deep, earthy coffee permeates the air.
"This is my father's favorite. Rolanberry Infused."
