Here, in an unfamiliar country, in an unfamiliar climate, and a new, giant school, she felt absolutely lost.

Finally, a mission with some real combat! Climbing the Lutia Pass was normally quite a chore, but today Marche was really feeling it. Combat missions were the most rewarding of them all by far, which meant the bigger clans usually snapped them up before Nutsy could get at them. The only other combat mission they'd had was supposed to be just an herb picking mission, until those monsters showed up. That was awesome. Butts were kicked. Now they had to go rescue some professor's stolen thesis, whatever a thesis was. Montblanc tried to explain it to him, but he was too excited to listen. All he heard was that they were up against a group of bandits who were also huge nerds? That's probably why none of the other clans had taken this job, he thought. Marche, though, would love to fight some pushover bandits. As they neared the top of the pass, he noticed there wasn't anyone up there enjoying the view. Instead, there was an armored chocobo. That could only mean one thing. "Montblanc! A fight!" Marche yelled back. "Kupo! A rogue clan might--" Montblanc started, but Marche wasn't listening, he was running. If the bandits were engaged already, they would be even easier pickings. That, or someone was trying to steal their bounty. But that just meant he got to fight more people. He got there way earlier than the rest of his clan, only to see that the bandits were all surrounding one guy. He might be trying to steal their bounty, but there was no way that he was going to get it on his own...

"Hmm...  maybe. I suppose that makes us both a bit childish, then."
