There really is no rest for the weary, even for one as weary as Qana'to Amariyo, the famous Warrior of Light. And the restlessness of the day comes in the form of a little note given to him by Kotokaze, owner of the Shiokaze Holstery, telling him that someone wanted to meet with him, and if he's amenable, they'd be there at such-and-such time. And when such-and-such time comes, at the private table she shows him to, four people await him: Krile of the Students of Baldesion, Hancock, Rowena, and one viera he hasn't met before.

"It's good to see a familiar face in these parts," says Rowena. "Particularly that o' such illustrious patronage."
