[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.]

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.]
