[ There's a curious someone fiddling around with her PokéGear. She's a little surprised she managed to click it on, since she's never actually dealt with much technology. ]

Ah... um, hello. [ Her surprise is replaced by a reserved sort of smile. It's pretty brittle--she's not supposed to be here. So why is she, then? Carefully, she tucks a bit of hair behind her ear. A nervous habit, but it's not one she actually notices. ] I'm a little... confused. I'm not sure what's going on, and-- [ Wait. Is that... music in the background? It's faint, and she hadn't really noticed it until she was lost in thought. ] I think I might be hearing things, but... is there music playing somewhere?

[ She lets out a little sigh and gives the Minccino beside her a pat on the head. ] I think I just need a little bit of help, or... an explanation.

Almost. Still got a few months to go.

[But still, that's a quarter of his life spent in this world. Needless to say, it's been on his mind for a while, though he'll refrain from bogging her down. That's probably not what she wants to deal with at the moment.]

So... anything specific you want to know? Or, hey... if you want, we could come get you. Sora, Kairi, and Xion are already here.

Ah... well... I'm headed to Cherrygrove with a couple of other people, but... if you really wanted to-- [ She's surprised, honestly, that they all seem to want to join with her. ] --we could meet up. [ She really does want to. But at the same time... why, exactly? ]

[islandshore]

If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have offered.

[He chuckles, rolling his eyes in amusement.]

C'mon, it's no big deal. Travel's a breeze when you've got access to teleortation and flight.

[shatterings]

Ah... thank you.

[ Naminé's visibly more relaxed, but still... people wanting to meet up with her is new. ]

You can really do that, Riku?

[islandshore]

Wouldn't offer otherwise.

[Heh. It's been so long, he forgot how timid she was.]

Can't teleport everywhere, but we can probably warp to New Bark and meet you in the next town.

[shatterings]

Okay. [ She nods, and Mini squeaks at the camera. Hey there, nice guy! ] I'll... stay in Cherrygrove, then.

[islandshore]

We'll try not to take too long, all right? Just keep your eyes peeled for a big, orange dragon, and you'll be fine.

[shatterings]

Oh, I don't want to rush you too much... But I'll make sure to keep an eye out.
