Ramza nodded. "I will be ready to leave at your call, my lady," he pledged. "I can endeavor to gather up what supplies we will need while you complete your research." That task was familiar enough to him, something he had done hundreds of times for his little army.

He paused, thinking out the logistics of the trip. "When you say 'near the city,' do you mean within walking distance, or by chocobo ride?" Simon had mentioned there were chocobos available for the catching, but Ramza had not gotten much more detail than that in terms of traveling around Aqures Ixen. Still, several days would give him the time to explore a little. He could get an idea of the terrain and even wrangle a chocobo if needed, he supposed.
