Vaan watched from the corner of the room. Penelo fanned her reddening neck and laughed at something Basch said, her gaze shining with genuine affection.

Vaan rolled his eyes. She was doing her job at least, keeping the Judge Magister occupied; finally, it seemed she convinced him she needed some air. He watched Basch lead Penelo from the room—with his hand on the small of her back, no less—towards the gardens.

Tracking Larsa—now in deep conversation with Al-Cid Margrace—Vaan determined it was time to make his move. His disguise would not keep him hidden much longer.
