[There's a soft, frustrated sigh as the sky phone begins recording, as well as the sound of bare feet pacing along a hard floor. Rydia's voice is heard a moment later, worriedly muttering to herself.]

--nothing wrong with my soul. Just because I--[paces out of range for a moment]--doesn't mean...anything. I'm fine.

[A soft huff, then the footsteps grow distant. Rydia pauses by her door, then opens it. The hour is fairly late, but she's unable to rest, remembering a certain meeting all too well. Instead of another fruitless attempt, the green-haired summoner paces down the castle hallways. Might as well give into the urge for some aimless wandering and perhaps see if there are any other insomniacs to encounter.]

I was told that the people who revive leave something of themselves in the Mist, when they do. I don't feel any different, but....

Something of themselves...

Wait, you died?

In January, after all that epitaph business. I think I was gone for about a week.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I didn't exactly tell everyone, so it's okay. It's just now that I can't stop wondering....

If you've lost something? Does it feel like you have?

[voice/Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I...no, but...the one who told me is someone I trust to know better. If she says part of my soul is still in the Mist, I believe her.

[A ragged, drawn-in breath.]

I just don't know if it might make a difference.

Rydia...

This person who told you... Who is she? How can she know something like that?

[voice/Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

She's a spirit connected to a summon, called a fayth. I'm not quite sure exactly how she knows, but I guess being what she is, she can sense things like that. She's not native to my world or this one, but I know she wants to help us....

Well, the more we know, the better. I'm sure you'll be okay, Rydia. If part of yourself can be lost, you must be able to find it again.

Thank you, Tifa. I hope so....

...hm. I wonder if that seer woman people were talking about would know anything. You went to her, didn't you?

[voice/Filtered]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

I did. The subject never came up, but I'm sure if you asked her she might know something.

[voice/Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Hm...I don't have anything to lose, I suppose. Where might I find her?

[voice/Filtered]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

In a cave on the Forgotten Continent.

[Gives directions.]

[voice/Filtered]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Got it.

Thank you, Tifa. For that and listening to me for a bit. It still bothers me, but venting did help a little.

I'm glad I could help.
