[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.]

I already have my own place to stay. It is not necessary.

[He's seemingly indifferent to Rosa's smile. Really, he's uncomfortable with so much as getting close to Cecil, when he still hasn't properly spoken to his brother, but he's not going to say that.]

The offer is always open to you.

Thank you, for watching over Rydia. I hope you'll forgive me for not asking first, but I knew you would be capable of guarding her safety.

[If he weren't wearing his helmet, Rosa would see a skeptical expression. There isn't much a toad can do to guard a child.]

I will keep that in mind.

Can we go now?

[Rydia doesn't mean to sound whiny, but the day has worn her down a lot. Her energy -and what little patience she has- is dwindling.]

[Rydia gets an indulgent smile from Rosa and a nod.]

We can.

[Back to her brother-in-law for the moment.]

Thank you again. Be safe.

You, as well.

[He turns as if to leave, but hesitates for only a moment.]

You and Cecil both.

[And then he's gone.]
