Archon of time

Departure.

Noct: WHERE IS IT?! 

Lumine: We can't tell you! 

Paimon: Yeah! 

Noct: I'll cut you two a deal ... 4 free meals on days of your choice? 

Paimon looked intrigued by the deal. 

Paimon: Oh...a free meal... 

She rubs her stomach until Lumine cut her off.

Lumine: NO! PAIMON DON'T ! 

Noct: and Lumine? 

He goes behind her and holds her hand up. She blushes by his sudden action.

Lumine: W-W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! 

Noct: You know I need that bag. Where did she tell you to hide it? 

Lumine: I-I - I can't tell you, your highness.. I .. I promised Focalors. 

Noct: I see... 

He lets her go and walks away. Once he was out of sight, Lumine and Paimon gave a sigh of relief. 

Paimon: Phew.. that was close.

Lumine: You almost blew it! 

Paimon: What ! Paimon was not gonna blow it. If anything it was Paimon stoma-

<Growl> 

Lumine:...

Paimon:... 

<Elsewhere> 

Noct was walking through the streets of Fontaine, he noticed Clorinde as she was sitting at a table by herself. 

Noct: Clorinde? 

She looked up and gives him a slight nod.

Clorinde: Your highness. What brings you here? 

Noct: I was walking around after another failure of getting my bag back from where ever Lumine and Paimon hid it. 

Clorinde: How many times was that this week? 

Noct: About 135 tries... 

Clorinde: I see... and Lady Furina? 

Noct: She at home, she told me not to comeback tonight. 

Clorinde: I see, you know regarding your bag . I believe I know where they hidden it. 

Noct: Really?!

He quickly approached her . 

Noct: Please tell me ?! 

Clorinde was shocked for a moment, then regained her composure. 

Clorinde: I believe it was being kept under watch at the fortress of Meropide. 

Noct: HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET IT THERE?! 

Clorinde: Honestly , it's not that hard. They had to of smuggled it in, when delivering a shipment of supplies and any new residents. 

Noct: And I can't just walk through the front door can I? 

Clorinde: Unfortunately no, however Neuvillete will be making a stop down there to visit Sigewinne as well as the Duke. 

Noct: So what ask him to grab my bag? 

Clorinde: Wouldn't hurt to ask, right your highness? 

Noct: Your not wrong. Alright I'll go ask... 

He was about to walk away, until Clorinde stopped him.

Clorinde: Mind joining me for a moment? I wanna talk to you about the "Shadow" Incident.
