[Lantis can be found in the Hall of the Missing. It's not clear who he's looking at amongst the portraits but for those who know him it should be clear.

Hikaru and Geo.]

They'll miss you.

[Of course he's speaking to them both without realizing that the device is even on.]

Yes.

Then I suppose this confirms the Knight of Fire is gone. I feel the deepest sympathies for you, our Cephiro allies.

She's a very sweet girl.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

Geo Metro is gone as well.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

That name... Commander Vision's officer of trust?

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

I never had the chance to exchange a single word with that man...

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[Silence. He doesn't know what to say.]

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

You were close in friendship, as I understand. [He's from a time when Lantis' relationship with the Autozam dignitaries is better known. And seen in a less suspicious light, at that.]

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

We knew each other.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Of course. He was, I believe, the only close ally the Commander had in this land.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

...He was.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

It's my wish that there could be a way to make Commander Vision understand he could count on several allies in this house. Would he be willing to accept it.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

He won't.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

It's but wishful thinking and a hope that diplomacy may get Master Clef and I there yet... [Meaning, one can dream, right?]

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

You're well acquainted with him too. Is there any way we could present him with a token of goodwill? Anything he would appreciate?

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

Nothing will work.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps it's a matter of showing our goodwill through action instead of diplomacy and assisting him whenever he needs us.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

You can try.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

It's only civil to do so. Eagle Vision is a man I hold in deep respect in my own time.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

[That's a surprise.]

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

Is it truly that hard to believe? Have you ever felt curious about the future, Cail Lantis?

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

I have an idea but I don't ask.

[beforehistime.livejournal.com]

...It's not my place to answer. I believe Master Clef will gladly explain if ever you wish to know in detail.

I daresay it may well ease your heart, for what little I know of you.

[antipillar.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind.
