It had really been a long day, and only now Charlotte was feeling the effects of it. She had wanted to continue investigating this strange new world and its legend, but her moogle, Mogsy, had hassled and harassed her to take a break and enjoy the fireworks until she finally gave in.

With that in mind, she searched for a quieter place to watch the fireworks. Spotting the hill and tree, she grinned. Perfect. Charlotte made a bee line for it, Mogsy flapping behind her.

She didn't see the stranger until she'd rounded the other side of the tree and very nearly tripped over her. "Oh! Sorry, I didn't see you there!"

Charlotte was dressed in Red Mage clothes and carried a large tome under her arm. In contrast, her moogle had a bag slung over his shoulder, and seemed to be struggling with the weight of whatever was in it.

Giving the stranger a bright smile, she asked, "Would you mind if we sit here? It's too crowded everywhere else."
