"For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne! And surely you'll buy your pint cup! and surely I'll buy mine! And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne."

“You’ll stay safe out there, yeah?” “As safe as I’ve always been, General.” “….Give ‘em Hell, my love.”

"Ah, a guest from Gridania? I thought I--" But the joke Raubahn was about to make fails to materialize, as he sees exactly who it is Kan-E-Senna has sent.

The woman raises an amused eyebrow at him. "General Aldynn," she says. "Don't tell me, you were expecting someone taller."

"You must be Summer Storm." He looks, somewhat upward, at her face-- there's no mistaking that profile, or that sense of humor. "Your brother speaks highly of you."

"Copper is the champion of Ul'dah? I swear, every time I leave him alone--"

Raubahn hides a smile. "He told you naught of his exploits?"

"Oh, he wrote to me there had been troubles with voidsent and mysterious mages, he neglected to mention he'd been dispatching them himself."

She looks so cross, so much the exasperated sibling, Raubahn gives up and laughs outright. "Well, I see I need not waste time telling you the woes of Ul'dah. Although if what Kan-E says of you is true, you're at least as formidable as Copper Sky-- or he is, compared to you."

Summer examines him for a moment, clearly trying to decide whether he's joking. He returns his straightest face. At last she laughs too, a surprisingly soft sound, and extends her hand.

"It's good to be back," she says, "however briefly."
