It didn't take too long to catch on that his mother was after a something for cooking. Even if a meal hadn't been involved, he would have gone with his mother in a heart beat, but the thought of a large meal was definitely an added bonus. His mother's cooking was as good as he had been able to remember, which was, unfortunately, rather foggy at best. Not that it mattered so much when he had all these new memories.

Once they'd left the city, he began to lead her out through the fields, towards the church. The young overlord keeping a watchful eye as they passed through the open areas. Last he'd checked, Paixao's growing collection of creatures (Heartless, Lumen and Unversed) all had been seen out here these days, from what he'd gathered.

"Ah... So," he began, a little awkwardly. "Which floor did you want to go to, Mom?"

He wasn't sure when it would stop feeling strange; the name that for so long had been so taboo around him. It didn't bother him that it felt strange though. It was a very good strange.

Gwen was pleased that her son was joining her; they hadn't spent much time alone since she arrived in Paixao, but... that was alright. Just knowing that her son was living under the same roof as her and her husband felt... right. It was calming, and like Flonne said... they were unbeatable together.

She had been out in the fields already, although her most prominent memory of them was The Date. It was a bit hard to forget. She enjoyed the eerie peace of the fields more now than she did before.

"Spira; it sounded like the best option from what I've heard. A girl named Yuna mentioned there was a creature called a Behemoth. It sounds like what I need."

"Oh, there," was Laharl's reply. He'd been there once before with Etna and Flonne. He hadn't known the name of it back then, although he wasn't sure where he'd heard it now... Not that it mattered. They hadn't gotten far; Etna had vanished not long after they'd arrived on the floor.

"Been there, but didn't see much of it," Laharl told her, as they walked towards the church. A 'behemoth'? It sounded... large. Not that anything much there should give him any real trouble.

"She didn't happen to tell you where these 'behemoths' are, did she?"

"Hopefully you'll be able to see more this time." Truthfully, she was glad for the opportunity to explore.

"She said atop somewhere called... Mount Gagazet, I think it was. In the caves," she replies thoughtfully. "It'll be quite the hike I'm sure, but I think it'll be worth it." She smiles at him. Mother-son bonding time.

"Have you been to the other floors a lot?"

So, they were looking for a mountain then? Well, at least that wouldn't be hard to find. ...Hopefully.

"Right then."

To her second question he shook his head, "Not really." He didn't elaborate, however. He didn't even know where to start when it came to explaining everything that had happened since he'd ended up here. He wasn't sure if he should tell her. Then again, if he didn't, his old man might. He wasn't sure if that would be better or not.

Arriving at the church, he shoved the door open, leading her inside and upstairs. "The door is up here."

((I realized belatedly that she probably has a bow and quiver strapped to her back =O))

A mountain sounded easier to find than a cave, but then, who knew? There was only one way to find out.

She continues to follow alongside him, taking in the church around them. "Seems strange to have a place like this so far out. I wonder if there's a story behind it?" Her voice echos back to her.

Laharl really hadn't ever really thought about just why there was this abandoned church out here. He didn't really care, after all, but now that his mother brought it up... Just why was this place all the way out here, anyways? The people of the city never left, after all.

"Huh... Maybe?" he finally replied, after pausing his steps for a moment at the base of the stairs. "It is kind of weird it's way out here..."

Up the stairs he then led, up to the impossible to be there room and through the door to the hallway. There were stairs at the far end, but Laharl stopped at the darkened orb on a pedestal. There was no reason to go the long way now. "This thing'll take us up the floors, though I guess maybe we should go to the top one, and go backwards. I don't remember seeing any mountains on the other side."

After Laharl stopped, she turns to see what had his attention. Interesting...

She steps closer to it, expression turning quizzical. "How does it work?" Just touch it, maybe?
