@SpiritedDreaming

Yeah, I meant Atlas. With very little backstory or visuals to link other kingdoms and schools to in my mind, I keep mixing them up (especially in the case of thinking Atlas is in Mistral).

@Drumboy168

Certainly possible.

@Cyrania de Bergerac

I think Ciel is basically a leash or limiter on Penny since her last runaway. She's meant to keep her on schedule and on point, making everything as quick as possible and keeping any interactions to a minimum without being... too too strict. So yeah, a debreifing or HQ is my guess as well.

I don't think dust is necessarily a person, but what creates aura, which so happens to be in all 'living things'. It's the soul or breath of life each thing holds, and if you can imbue it upon an inanimate object, much like the 'dust' humans were created from (which may be different than the human-named rocks named Dust) then you start getting into very weird god-like territory. Final Fantasy has materia and atmas and soul resonance, etc. so I wouldn't be surprised if since dust is controlled/acted upon by aura, it can become an aura as well.

I'll go looking for queens I guess. I thought someone had a Black Queen, but I could be wrong.
