[As if Takame needed further confirmation beyond that sharp tongue he came to know in such a short time. Something in him demanded he move in even closer, but his sound mind told him that Rose deserved a debrief.
And a better answer than "he walked."]
I was... Called here. [His emphasis on the word "called" should already paint a picture for Rose. In a move more bold than expected of him, he actually voiced a suggestion in a manner not a reluctant request.] ... We should return to the Crystarium. There I will explain everything.
[Had Takame just answered with “he walked,” Rose would have smacked him on the head. That isn’t what she meant; of course he walked. What else was he going to do, fly here on a horse?]
So you were called, too.
[Rose feels a twinge of guilt. Among all the people who had been taken, Rose hadn’t dreamed that Takame would be among them. It’s not unfathomable, considering how much they seem to run into each other, but it’s not something she anticipated, either.]
[Are Eorzea's Chocobo's not just flying horse birds? He thought as much when he first saw them...
He wasn't sure why he'd been called either, yet again dismissing the why and accepting it as something he was ordered to do despite his initially hostile reception. But that all could wait until he's explained his situation.]
Yes... [Said with a nod as he began to lead the way out of Holminster, pausing briefly in his movements to turn to Rose once more with an exceedingly rare smile.]
It’s good to see you again, as well. There are so few people to talk to here.
[Rose answers with a small smile of her own. She follows Takame back to town, making sure to enter discreetly. Even if they don’t know she’s the hero of the hour, that doesn’t mean that people won’t be looking for her. She would rather avoid that attention.]
[The two find themselves in a small room in the Pendants. The celebration can clearly be heard from the window, but Rose isn’t paying it much mind.]

I agree. I think we should speak in private.

I must admit, I didn’t expect to see you here.
