[ Terra is getting a lot of use out of this communicator lately! She's hurrying through town, so the feed is probably shaking quite a bit. ]

Locke? Where are you?

[ If she sounds anxious, she is. He said he wouldn't leave her alone. He would tell her if he had gone somewhere without her. Surely something hadn't happened to him. She stops running after a few minutes, glancing around before her attention goes to the feed. ]

... e-excuse me, I - has anyone seen a friend of mine... Locke Cole? He's about this tall, with silver hair and brown eyes - he's a th- a treasure hunter. He was last seen in Traverse Town just a few days ago.
I've been all over town and there's no sign of him, and the people I've asked haven't seen him either.

[ She doesn't quite believe he's gone yet. He may have just forgotten since she hasn't been in this world for a long while. Which is why she was on her way to the port to get on one of those gummi ships. She'd been looking for Locke to tell him she was going to visit another world anyway. After a few minutes searching, she spots a moogle. ]

Excuse me, which way to the gummi ships...?

Right this way, kupo - and remember to smile! A gummi ship won't fly with you looking so worried.

Um... right.

[ She turns off the communicator. ]

[ She looks momentarily alarmed at the idea. ]

No - that's not possible.

[ Well it -is- possible, she just doesn't want to consider it. She hesitates. ]

I mean...maybe. I thought maybe he was kidnapped by someone, An enemy.

[ She only half believes that. Locke was so nice, who would be enemies with him? No one from the Empire was here. ]

[Uranus is more than willing to accept that idea.] Aside from Hades and the Heartless, who here would hurt Locke?

[ Pensive. ]

... I don't know. We didn't get a chance to catch up on things here before...

[She would think that if Locke had an enemy here, he would have warned Terra when they saw each other. Which leaves the known enemy and Hades who is very likely an enemy. And stealing a single person with no outward sign just doesn't seem like something a god would do (but really, she knows nothing about Hades beyond traditional Greek myths).]

Then we may have to assume, at least for now, that the darkness took him back.

...

[ It was the possibility that made the most amount of sense, and that she wanted to hear the least. ]

He couldn't keep his promise.

[ So she really was all alone now. Still, if there was a sign that her friend was out there - and so far there wasn't any ... ]

[She reaches out to put a hand on the other woman's shoulder.] I doubt it was his doing.

[ She glances up, and smiles slightly. ]

No... I know it wasn't. It's ... unfair of me to say it is. I just... don't know what I'm supposed to do now.

[Normally, she has an instant dislike and mistrust for outsiders. But this girl seems... well, like someone who doesn't deserve the full brunt of her mistrust.]

You have friends here.

[At least, she assumes the girl does. ~~Although she really can't discount herself wholly.~~

[ Terra is a timid little thing most of the time. She wouldn't hurt a fly! ]

I - yes, I suppose. The people who I met when I came here. They may not be from my home, but they're all very nice. Like Mizuno and you.

[ She can't now >D ]

Ah... [She shrugs it off and then smiles.] Yes, like the two of us.
