[Long, delicate fingers play over the edge of the little communicating device. Michiru tilts her head at it rather curiously. Interesting thing. So if what the little white... critters have told her is true, Michiru is more than a bit stuck here. This fact is a bit dismaying, but there's no sign of this on her face as she turns on her communicator. Instead, her expression is mostly serene, not quite a smile but pleasant enough.] I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to answer a few questions for me. It's very important that I find these things out.

[A pause, as she takes a moment to put her words together.] All this talk about darkness and worlds being lost is a lot to take in. But, if someone could tell me if they've seen a few people. I can offer names and descriptions, of course.

[And now she does smile, though it's a soft, almost sad sort of expression.] If anyone were to escape that darkness, I'm sure that it would be them.

[Really, Usagi was light in and of herself, wasn't she? And her friends had always been drawn along with that light. And Hotaru and Setsuna. Haruka... Well, was she being optimistic? For a moment at least, it couldn't hurt?]

[She was glad that Michiru accepted her apology gracefully, then again everything Michiru did was graceful!] I know I am!

[She nodded energetically]

I know what you mean. Now if only we could figure out how to restore our world but.. I guess we should take it one step at a time.

[The confidence is familiar and appreciated, really. And Michiru finds herself smiling just a bit.

Though her expression grows serious.] One step at a time, but we will figure that out. There's a reason that we're all here. It's still our duty to protect our home.

[The smile is refreshing even if it's brief. With a nod]

Right! We can't let everybody down.

[Michiru nods again as well.]

Exactly. I'm more than confident we'll manage.
