[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.]

Uh-huh. I know Fire and Blizzard and Thunder and some other spells. What are the dark creatures weak to?

[This reminds her that she should have asked Rosa to teach her Libra. Oops.]

They come in many forms, and thus their weaknesses vary, or they may have no weaknesses at all.

[Not even the Masamune is as effective as Frog would like. The rumours must be true after all -- that there's only one weapon that can truly defeat Heartless.]

Tell me, how is it you're so skilled in magic? For someone to wield multiple elements is a rare thing on my world.

[She straightens, looking proud.]

I'm a Summoner! It's my people's birthright. Mother said we're 'naturally attuned' to magic.

[Magus would be interested in that, he supposes, but unfortunately -- or fortunately -- he isn't here.]

I see. And you can cast healing magic as well, as with the spell you used on me? You've a talent, for one so young.

[She smiles, pleased at that.]

I have to learn a lot, so I can defeat Eidolons and summon them.

[A smile is better than crying, at least. She must be a brave little child.]

What is an Eidolon? We've none of those on my world, nor summoners.

[Rydia stares for a moment, surprised that there's someone who doesn't know about them. Then again, she'd never met a large talking frog before.]

They're beings Summoners call in battle, to help them. Some are small, like Whyt, while others are big, like my mother's dragon was....

[Frog looks dubious. He doesn't like to rely on anything but his own strength in battle.] They seem akin to Fiends, from your telling. What if they turned on their caller?

[She shakes her head.]

They don't. We have to earn their trust, and risk ourselves just as much as they do. If they die...so do we.

[You know what, she'll just show him. The little girl concentrates for a moment, then summons forth Whyt.]

Whyt, say hello.

[The white creature, who's a bit shorter than the little girl, squeaks and waves. Least threatening summon ever.]

[Least threatening, but it still takes all of Frog's self-control not to draw his sword out of reflex when Whyt appears so suddenly.]

And you... battle with this? [He looks from Whyt to Rydia with a croak of surprise. Not that he's one to talk, being a sword-wielding frog, but still.]

Uh-huh! I know he's small, but he can do lots of things. He can copy things my friends can do, and use them in battle.

Then he will be an invaluable asset to you against the Heartless. Are your friends here?

Um...I hope so. At least Rosa and Cecil....

[Bitty begins to wibble again.]

[sfkdsdf, don't wibble! He has no skill in dealing with children whatsoever.]

Ah... Worry not, young one. Would you feel safer if I accompanied you until you find your companions?

...yes.

[She nods, then looks to Why after the creature squeaks an inquiry.]

You can go home now. I'll call you if we get into trouble, okay?

[Whyt nods, then vanishes.]
