Van Slanzar de Fanel

After getting the green light from the landlord, Van picked up the makeshift map he'd been fashioning and headed up a floor to where Roy, Riza, Sloth, and Al were staying. He knocked on the door, rocking back restlessly on his heels.

The next day, Van went to see Ed. He had been partly awake most of the night, thinking about the problem of Eries. The closest he could come to any ideas involved spying, and the best way for that was possibly Ed's older brother. He walked into the apartment office.

An urgent letter from Allen, asking him to come to Asturia and take Celena to the Nexus, arrived several days prior. Van had departed within the hour, and finally was on the palace grounds, dismounting, and walking past the guards in search of the siblings.

In a hallway, he finally came across a rather harried-looking Allen, and he bit back a smirk. He knew that look. Celena was being difficult again, and he was just this side of starting to pull his hair out.

"So I got your letter," he said as he approached. "What's going on?"
