It's been a very busy few weeks, exploring the last parts of Ziziphus, exploring the far reaches of Enso. Helping save animals and plant life from the crumbling island.

He had mostly avoided Monsun, apart from very quick trips to take creatures there. He knew from what Aster had told him how the island played with your mind, the idea was... Awful. Even the part of the island that apparantly brought out the good in you. It was still manipulation, their mind used against them. The part that brought out the worst... Shion had feared to go anywhere near.

He knew that Ignis had been there, which was the only reason he hadn't been to speak to his friend yet. He had been worried since Gladio had contacted him to ask for paper. He knew something had happened and though he didn't want to be nosy... their deal went both ways. Shion was to talk to Ignis about things that upset him but Ignis was to do the same. Neither of them were very good at it, and so Shion knew he should seak him out.

So he was at Ignis' cottage, two bowls in hand. "Ignis? Are you home?"
