"......." Vincent was silent as he heard that.
"Hm." he mumbled.
"...ah!" he then exclaimed, snapping his fingers.
"I may know JUST the place." he told her.
"How do you want to do this?" he asked.
"You go to them, or they come to you?"
"Hm." he mumbled.

Vincent stopped pooling his mana, and looked at his daughter.
"Demitra?" he addressed her.
"Of course." he said.
"What is it?" he asked her. "Your tone indicates it's quite important." he said further.
"Is everything all right?"
"Demitra?" he addressed her.
"Of course." he said.

Vincent nodded.
"Indeed." he replied.
"And you haven't?" he asked.
"I may be able to help." he told her.
"...shall we talk over tea?" he then asked.
"We have so much to catch up on."
"Indeed." he replied.
"And you haven't?" he asked.

Vincent sighed.
"Our daughter." he told her.
He then told her of how he happened upon Demi, the trouble she was in, how he'd saved her, and what had happened when she had woken up.
"So it seems it was a serendipitous encounter." he said.
"She brought me back here."
"Our daughter." he told her.

Vincent continued to be silent, but returned the embrace, wrapping his arms around her.
"Racquel..." he said.
"I... it's been so long..." he said further.
"And you haven't aged a bit." he added with a light chuckle.
"Still as gorgeous as when I last saw you."
"Racquel..." he said.
"I... it's been so long..." he said further.

"................" Vincent was silent as he witnessed the cabin.
"Right." he said.
"This is no time to back down." he told himself.
He then gathered his courage, took a deep breath, and followed her inside.
"....Racquel...?" he mumbled, looking around.
"Right." he said.
"This is no time to back down." he told himself.

"Tainted mana is not an issue for me." Vincent replied.
"I'm used to it." he told her.
"So do not worry." he assured her.
"I'm ready to go when you are."
"I'm used to it." he told her.
"So do not worry." he assured her.
"I'm ready to go when you are."

Vincent nodded in response.
"Very well." he replied.
"This way." he told her.
With that, they travelled a bit of a convoluted path, but eventually she ended up seeing a very sizeable patch of the flowers she was looking for.
"Have at them." he said.
"They're ripe for the plucking."
"Very well." he replied.

Vincent was silent as she made her offer.
"I...." he stammered.
"Well... I have always wanted to see you and Racquel again." he said.
"Would she welcome me?" he asked her.
"Would I be welcome at your home?"
"I...." he stammered.
"Well... I have always wanted to see you and Racquel again." he said.

"The climate's been changing." Vincent replied.
"There's been an increase in overall mana in this area." he said.
"As such, they've been growing more and more, spawning thicker and thicker patches." he went on.
"And saving you was the least I could do." he told her.
"After all, you are my daughter." he chuckled.
"But seriously, you were doing no harm, and I could tell you meant no harm."

Vincent just nodded.
"Juniper Roses, eh?" he asked.
"I can help with that." he told her.
"I know where there's a nice-sized little patch of them, and I know a way to get to them without disturbing any of the local flora and fauna." he went on.
"Like I said, that drink will help clear your head more quickly, and we can head out then." he continued.
"Juniper Roses are at their peak, but they'll go into dormancy VERY quickly at the stage." he mumbled.

"Canada..." Vincent said.
"I guess you're hiding very well." he commented.
"I swear I covered every inch of that country." he said further.
"But... at least you're both alive. And doing well." he went on.
"May I ask what you're doing here?" he then asked.
"New Zealand is about as far as you can get from your home." he said with a small chuckle.

Vincent seemed to freeze when she said this.
"D... Demitra...?" he asked.
"Good Lord..." he said in a hushed tone, almost falling back.
"Your... mother is Racquel Fyrane." he then said.
When she merely nodded in response, he sat down, and seemed to almost have a mental collapse.
"It's been... so long... too long..." he said.
"I've tried to find you... I've been looking all over." he went on.
"I feared the worst." he admitted further.

The man paused when she addressed him.
"I..." he stammered.
"Yes... yes, that is my name." he said.
"How do you know that?" he asked her.
He then looked at her more closely, almost studying her.
"I admit, you are ringing some bells of familiarity in my mind." he then said further.
"But... help me out, who are you?" he asked.
"Have we met before?"
"I..." he stammered.
"Yes... yes, that is my name." he said.
