[voice]

[The voice on the network sounds very much like a moogle, not a person. There's some strange sounds, similar to what you'd expect to hear from a forest.]

We've got someone down, kupo! Looks like a Sky Person. She landed in the spring.

[A soft, tired, female voice breaks in behind the moogle's message.] Laguna? Please?

I should apologize. My name is... I'm Ellone.

[There's a sharp intake of breath. Maybe Laguna hadn't been drinking?]

That's not funny.

...I'm sorry. It's true.

How? You don't sound... how?

...I'm not sure. It's a trick of time here.

...Where are you?

[Laguna's got a lot of explaining to do. Or Raine really needs to wake up.]

Evil Forest? I don't know if that's the name or the description. These... moogles aren't very clear.

I have to be dreaming. Moogles are a fairy tale.

They're real here. I wish I could come there. I'm in Jidoor with Uncle Laguna.

Laguna's on his way here...

He really left you alone?!

I'm not alone. The people are used to me here. It's all right.

Why were you both there? How far is it from Winhill?

[she pauses and sighs softly.]

This is nothing like home. Nothing's as it should be here. Maybe Uncle Laguna can explain it to you when he gets there and if not... I'll try when I can see you.

Laguna better explain it all.

[Or Raine is going to nag him into an early grave.]

Someone will.

...Be careful, okay?

[There's a prolonged silence, while she stews quietly on this insanity. Then Mom instincts kick in, because what if this is her little Ellone?]

Are you alright?

[She waits it out, like a good girl. Can almost hear the smile on her face through her voice when she replies.]

I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. [Even though she knows you will.]

I'm a mother. I'm going to worry.

...I know... Thank you...

[And that's about all you're going to get out of her. Little Elle might be running off to cry in a mixture of pain and overwhelming joy, but she's turning off her Sky Phone first.]
