Things at the Royal Palace went into a bit of an uproar as Wesley had announced he was going to accompany Nadeline and her uncles to Stigma. In that, it caused the staff to rush around and panic as they had to make adjustments to the lack of their king. Of course, no one was more surprised by this rather impulsive decision than Isabelle was. As Wesley could note, she wasn’t too pleased with the decision. She noted that it was just like how [i]she[/i] used to be. After a back-and-forth, she gave in, and would simply let him be.

And then, after one additional hour, the group walked in bulk through the city from the palace, escorted by the Knights of Dalmasca, of course, and made their way into the Aerodome. Each of them booking their own flights. The group of Jaakuna, Savayna, Emiri, and Shion were booking a commercial airship flight to the Imperial City of Archades, and the Rozarrians of the group (with the addition of Wesley) booked their own flight for the Divine City of Stigma. They would, of course, say their farewells. Mostly, it was Grant and Savayna acting a bit awkwardly. They didn’t embrace or anything - well, they kind of did, but not as much as both probably would’ve preferred. 

And thus, they each with forth into their respective terminals. Some returning home and some going for their own reasons. Whether it was to support the one they loved or to reunite with one they loved, it was not to be denied that their reasons for going were good enough for those who had a trip to return home in mind.

Jaakuna was well-rested after taking half of the day to just sleep. Though, it not only took that much time away from not only him but his traveling companions. After the night they had, a nice, long rest was just exactly what the Doctor Cid ordered. Besides, he welcomed the low-paced rest with open arms. Sometimes, even a Sky Pirate needed to be grounded for a while. Nothing like a commercial airship that moved slower than a Wood Toad to knock back a few hours of some shut-eye.

As he got up a bit groggy, the pilot announced through the telecom that their vessel had arrived in Archades, to which Jaakuna let out a loud groan, possibly waking up Emiri, who seemed to still be asleep. Though, perhaps not anymore after Jaakuna wasn’t so quiet in his groan just now. Either way, they would have to get their stuff ready, so Jaakuna repeatedly shook the bed, which seemed to be a mistake because he did so too violently and Emiri was sent on a first-class trip to Face-Firstville on the floor. Jaakuna knew he made the mistake when heard two things: a loud thud and Emiri’s sudden yelp of pain.

[color=ed1c24]“There have been worse ways to wake up, I suppose.”[/color] Jaakuna nervously laughed as he would go to help her up As soon as he did, he would make sure nothing was broken. He couldn’t be responsible for her hurting herself even if it was his fault.

Wesley didn’t sleep much. 

Unlike the rest of his friends, he was able to catch [i]some[/i] sleep before they’d returned to Rabanastre. Besides, there were a few thoughts on his mind. As he sat in the room he and Nadeline shared for the entirety of the trip by the window,  he gazed at the open sky as they had come into view of Stigma. Despite what happened, it seemed to retain its stability since he was last here. A lot has happened and Wesley had to wonder what the state of the empire was. He knew that the Rozarrian council, no matter how much they liked Karolina - and Wesley knew they were fond of her - they needed someone with blood ties to the family. Wesley knew it was on Nadeline’s mind. He knew it was also on Lorenzo’s and GRant’s mind too. 

Soon a voice announced that they’ve arrived and Wesley would turn and get his things. He strapped his sword on his left hip and strapped his rations along his entire waist. Once done, he looked to Nadeline, giving her a nod. [color=fff79a]“Let us go then.”[/color]
