[The voice that comes over the feed is one that's rather polite and proper-sounding, the speaker taking great care to enunciate.]

While I have several questions about this place I've found myself in, it seems that there are more important matters to turn my attention to beforehand. My name is Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. The city looks as though it’s been through quite a lot recently. Are there any injured who need tending to? If there’s anyone in need of healing, please, let me know. I’d like to help, however I might be able to. I know I've only just arrived, but I would like to do whatever I can. It seems as though the city needs whatever help it can get at the moment.

How generous of you.

[forkimlasca]

[Natalia sounds slightly taken aback when she replies, unsure of just how to take that comment. She's fairly sure that was sarcasm.]

All I want is to help, if I'm able. Is that frowned upon?

[Audio]

[graviga]

That all depends. You'll find some don't take so kindly to strangers such as yourself.

[Audio]

[forkimlasca]

What do you mean? They'll turn away help, even if they need it, just because I'm an outsider?

[She'll have you know, she is very important back home, sir.]

[Audio]

[graviga]

You got it, kiddo. But why take my word for it? Try it out for yourself, see what happens.

[He'll have you know, he doesn't care, madame.]

[forkimlasca]

That doesn't make any sense! Why would they turn away aid if they need it so badly?

[keep_my_promise]

Natalia...!

[forkimlasca]

[Color her stunned! She'd know that voice anywhere!]

Luke?! Is it truly you?

[keep_my_promise]

Y-yeah, heh, it's me.

[forkimlasca]

[She still sounds shocked, as though she can't quite believe it.]

But... but how?

[Clearly, she doesn't quite understand how this place works just yet.]

[keep_my_promise]

I got brought here, just like you did. I've just been here awhile now. Tear, Guy and Jade are here too.

[...well and Florian, but Luke has a feeling he's vanished. Probably best to not confuse her with that yet.]

[forkimlasca]

It's just that--

[She's unsure of how to explain it. Perhaps it's best to say nothing at all, and for the time being, focus on just how good it is to hear his voice.]

It's been some time since we've last seen each other, that's all.

[Her voice warms, her smile almost audible.]

Tear, Guy, and Jade as well? How long have you all been here?

[ voice ]

[fontechnology]

Princess?!

[permavoice]

[forkimlasca]

[!!]

Guy! You're here, as well?

[fontechnology]

Yeah! Well -- there's a few of us here, actually. Maybe one of us should come and get you, the way things are now...

[forkimlasca]

Luke told me how to find where everyone is camped, but it's nice to see that chivalry still has a place here. Still, you may remember that I can take care of myself!

[fontechnology]

O-of course! I mean, I didn't mean -- it's just that it'll be good to have us all together again.

[forkimlasca]

I agree. I was very pleased to hear from Luke when I first arrived. We truly are all together! It seems we're only missing Anise and Ion.

[fonichymns]

Natalia... You've returned.

[permavoice]

[forkimlasca]

Tear!

[All of these familiar voices!]

Yes, I've -- wait, 'returned?'

/2

[fonichymns]

You mean you don't --

[fonichymns]

N- nevermind. It's not important.

[forkimlasca]

[She'll overlook it -- for now.]

It's good to hear your voice. I was worried when I first arrived here -- I didn't think I'd see any of you again!

[fonichymns]

We've taken temporary lodgning at the camp. Do you need directions?

[forkimlasca]

Luke has already taken care of that, but thank you, Tear. I should be seeing all of you shortly!
