Terra: But this time Roaklo was with them, too. I wonder what’s going on?
Camina & Terra: Hmm…Terra: Roaklo, Tott, and Jinn went out onto the plain, but Jinn still hasn’t come back. To tell the truth, I’m a bit worried.
Camina: Something’s up, but Roaklo and Tott aren’t talking. They don’t have to, though. It’s written all over their faces.
Terra & Camina: Hee hee!Elder Brunoa: You’ve a troubled look, child. What’s the matter? Ah, come from Rabanastre seeking a sunstone, have you? As you might have guessed from the name, sunstones contain the power of the sun. You’ll often find them used as a source of heat or light. Here we leave all things sunstone to Masyua. You should be able to find her near the dark crystal. Do you see the large black stone behind my tent? That is a dark crystal. You’ll not be able to find them outside Giza Plains. The dark surfaces of the crystal drink in the light of the sun.
Elder Brunoa (x2): You need a sunstone, yes? Best speak with Masyua about that. She should be just behind my tent.
Masyua: Have you come to see the dark crystals? Not everyone takes well to the heat of the Giza Plains. …Ah, so it is a sunstone you seek! You’ve come to the right place. They can only be made here in Giza. They’re quite valuable, though, so we can’t go handing them out to just anyone who happens to wander through our camp. You see, we make and sell sunstones to earn the money we need to survive. Still, perhaps we can come to some arrangement… Would you hear my offer?
Sure.
>The making of sunstones is a chore we give to the children of our camp. They roam the plains, traveling from dark crystal to dark crystal, drawing the light from the crystals into shadestones. One of these children, Jinn, has not yet returned. He left carrying our supply of shadestones. If you’ll find Jinn for me and tell him to come back to the camp, you may take one of the sunstones he’s made in return. Some of the children said they might have seen him to the south of the camp. You may want to speak with them yourself before leaving. Please, find Jinn and tell him to return at once.
[After this, the next scene will automatically begin.]
No, thanks.
>Of course. Our troubles need not concern you.Masyua (x2) (after refusing): Seems you haven’t given up on finding a sunstone just yet. But as I said, we do not part with the fruits of our labors lightly. If you are serious, then hear my offer.
What’s your offer?

(Walking around the village, Vaan notices Penelo kneeling with some of the kids.)
Vaan: Penelo? What are you doing here?
Penelo: I could ask you the same! Though the answer’s pretty clear: no good.
Vaan: What? I’m being good.
Penelo: Hmm. Is that right? So, then, you wouldn’t mind if I, say, tagged along, would you? Oh, don’t worry. Migelo’s busy with preparations for the fete up at the palace. Why, I’m free for the whole day. Well? Let’s get going!
[Penelo joins the party!]
Camina: Guess what! I saw Jinn off in the south part of the plains – in the Crystal Glade. He was right by a small crystal. I asked if he wanted to come back to camp with me, but he said he still had some work to finish up. The Crystal Glade is to the south of our village. Just head out into Giza Plains and wind your way south. We take breaks in the glade, since monsters seem to stay away from it. I was a little worried because Jinn looked like he might have been hurt, but I was afraid to push him too hard to come back. Now I’m wondering if I did the right thing.
Camina (x2): I saw Jinn in the Crystal Glade. We take breaks in the glade sometimes, since monsters seem to stay away from it. The Crystal Glade is to the south of our village. Just head out into Giza Plains and wind your way south.
Tott: We all went out to make some sunstones, but Jinn still hasn’t come back to camp. It’s the first time he’s been out on the plains since the end of the Rains. Maybe he got a touch of wanderlust.
Roaklo: Jinn still isn’t back? Masyua’s gonna let us have it for sure. I knew he shouldn’t have – nothing. Never mind. Well, ya see, Jinn and Tott kinda got in a fight. Then while they were busy fighting, a werewolf came along and… I hope he’s okay.
Masyua: Please, find Jinn and tell him to return to camp. One of the children, Camina, saw him. You should speak with her before leaving. And be careful – werewolves stalk the southern plains. If you see one approaching, run. It would make short work of you.
Terra: Sure, I know Jinn. Brunoa was complimenting the sunstones he made, and I think it made Tott jealous. I just don’t get it. Why can’t they just get along with each other?
[When you go to leave the village...]
Penelo: Hey, Vaan. Let me give you these before we go. There are all sorts of monsters out there, so you can never be too careful!
[You obtain 3 Potions!]
[You obtain 2 tufts of Phoenix Down!]
So far you’ve been traveling by yourself, but now that I’m here we can travel as a party. You can give commands to allies in your party just like you’ve been doing for yourself up to now. I’ll make my own decisions about what to do, too, but you can also give me specific commands and I’ll take care of those first. Got it?
[You can now change leaders and issue party commands!]
Oh, one more thing! If you don’t want me to fight on my own, you can always turn my gambits off. With my gambits turned off, I won’t do anything until you give the word. You should really think about using gambits for yourself, you know. They can make managing a battle a lot easier.
[Gambits has been added to the battle menu.]
Well, you ready to go?
Penelo: Hey, Vaan. Let me give you these before we go. There are all sorts of monsters out there, so you can never be too careful!

[When you exit by either the east or west ways…]
Penelo: Vaan, wasn’t Jinn supposed to be somewhere to the south of the village? If we work our way around, we should find him!
[When you exit by the north way…]
Penelo: Vaan, I think that Jinn was supposed to be somewhere to the south of the village. We might find him faster if we headed a different way.
