[Video/Action]

[The image is steady though somewhat off, showing a tiny girl with bright green hair at an odd, stilted angle. Even so, that's enough to capture the look of wide-eyed horror given at a moogle barely within the screen's range, not much smaller than the girl herself.]

What?!? No! My world can't be gone! You're lying!

[Of course the moogle is quick to protest.]

I'm not lying, kupo! It's the truth! You--

[The little girl stamps her foot, even as tears begin to form.]

Stop it! That doesn't make any sense! I told you, I don't have time for this! We have to go and rescue Rosa!

But--

[The video feed grows unsteady as she runs down the street. Once she's far enough away, the little girl plops down to catch her breath...and curls in on herself, sniffling.]

Hey there. Please don't cry, I can help you.

[She sniffles for another moment before that voice sinks in, and she stares through the communicator.]

...you can?

Well... I'm kind of in the same situation myself. After all my world is gone as well.

...oh.

[She wipes at her cheeks, still upset though it helps to talk with someone.]

I don't understand how it can all be gone....

I don't either, but it has and a lot of people it has happened to.

Do you want something to eat? I'm sure you must be hungry.

I want Rosa....

[But she considers that last question.]

I dunno when I last ate. A lot of stuff was happening at once.

Is Rosa a friend?

Then maybe I should get you something, just to make sure. Do you know where you are?

Rosa's a friend and the best white mage, ever.

[She frowns in thought, trying to remember what that moogle said other than stuff that she didn't want to hear.]

Um...Traverse Town.

Okay, then how about after you eat we'll look at her.

Okay, I'll come and get you.

[Rydia moves the screen around the area, since it all looks the same to her but maybe this other person will know better.]

Okay. I'll stay here.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth. I'm here to look after you and help you.

[Rydia stands up, rubbing her eyes. She's trying to ignore how tired she is, for the time being.]

Hi...I'm Rydia.

It's nice to meet you. Now shall we go and look for your friend?

[Rydia nods, taking hold of Elizabeth's hand with her free one. Her other is still clutching that rod.]

Yes, please. She's gotta be around here somewhere....

Okay!

Where do you think we should start?

...maybe she's with Cecil. If he found her yet.

[Which...isn't very specific, admittedly.]

Is there an inn here?

Yes, there is a inn here. It's usually where the new arrivals spend there first few months.

Do you want to check there first?

[Rydia nods.]

Yes. Maybe someone at least saw them.

[Plus, she has no idea where else to begin.]

Okay, lets' go!

[Rydia does as well, figuring they'll be a sign or whatnot. It's much easier to pick out the inn when in a town with only a handful of buildings. Still, she has to find Rosa....

And the little girl begins to rub her eyes, frowning.]

'm not tired....

I think you are. Do you want to go to bed and try again tomorrow?

[Lip wobble.]

But what if she needs me?

I know, but how can you help someone you care about if you fall asleep randomly?

[Rydia tries to fight that logic, but...she can't think of anything, at least not now. Her shoulders sag as she sighs.]

I guess I can't....

The let's go to the inn and fine your room for the night.
