[Accidental Video]

[The feed cuts in, showing the underside of a chocobo's foot in extreme close-up - apparently the bird activated it by stepping on it as it moves across the space it's in, a wooden roof being most of what's seen. Just in range of the camera, the bright yellow feathers stop moving and start bobbing as the chocobo nudges something off-screen, giving a soft kweh. A small voice can be heard, trying to sob and trying to stifle it at the same time - she's retreated to where she's unlikely to be found at the discovery.]

H-He's gone... [Sniff, hiccup] Th-Th-They're all g-gone!

[That starts a new set of tears as Refia breaks down crying for real. Alfa nudges her again as she hiccups, letting out another kweh as she settles down next to her mistress, taking her out of the camera view and just leaving the roof. Refia's voice becomes muffled, as if she's buried her face in her chocobo's feathers.]

I-I'm all alone ag-gain... Alfa... what do I d-do?

[There's a sob choked back before she can answer.] L... Lindblum... [She doesn't travel much.]

I have not yet left the city. I will come to you.

Y... you'll...

What? [She didn't quite process that.]

I do not wish for you to remain alone. If you would agree, I will keep company with you until you are not alone.

You... You don't need to, you have th-things to do.

[Except that's how the pompous nobles would and he is nothing like them.]

There is nothing I must do that cannot be delayed.

[He wants to be nothing like them.]

Delita, I can't... I can't make you do that.

'Tis not an imposition to support a friend, yet I will oppose your wishes.

Delita...

You... you will?

[A lousy attempt at a joke. He cracks a small smile]

I shall not disappoint you.

With trepidation, I shall leave you alone this once.

[And she's not at all sure what that means - it sounds like he's saying he will come and he won't come.]

What are you saying?

[Resigning himself to needing to be straight forward and concise,]

Do you desire companionship or solitude? I will honor your wishes.

[Problem is she kind of wants both. So...]

What do you want to do?

I only desire for your tears to dry. If my companionship will further this means, then I would join you this evening. If my presence would hinder you, then I will remain alone.

[After a long, long moment that probably doesn't reassure Delita-]

...Please? Come?

[Delita had begun to think that Refia was trying to let him go, when she finally spoke.]

I shall not tarry.

Thank you.

[Since Alfa's there, Delita should be able to tell she's at the chocobo stable - an easy enough place to find her.]

[It pays to be an observant man. Delita rushed across the town to find the blurry eyed Refia.]

Refia...

[Kneeling beside her, he places a hand upon her shoulder.]

[She doesn't look up and throw herself in his arms, but she does sit up slowly, hugging her knees to her body. Her tears are mostly gone - she's just cried out, and crying makes her look like hell.]

I can't help it... I didn't want to be alone again...

[It's a good thing Delita had a little sister and knows a little bit about girls as he calmly wraps his arms around her and reassuringly pats her.]

I shall not leave you to be alone.

[He would not have Refia to feel as he did when Tietra left him alone.]

[That DOES cause her to give a little squeak of surprise and sort of wriggle trying to get free, but only at first and only because she was startled. After a moment she goes limp and rests her head on his shoulder, glad she doesn't have to be strong right at the moment.]

I know they're home again... But if they are, why aren't I?

[Delita prepares to release her, yet holds tightly assuring her that she won't simply push him away.]

[Selfish thoughts permeate as he realizes he isn't alone.]

'Tis unknown to myself, yet I am glad you are still here.

...I didn't want to be left behind. I want to see Father again.

[She curls up a little more, hiding her face entirely. She misses Takka - a lot.]

[Remembering that Tietra liked her hair patted back, he gently rubbed her hair.]

I am sure he desires to see you as well, yet know that you are have forged forward.

I don't even know if Ingus can tell him that I'm okay... We don't know anything about what's going on with this, it's all so confusing... Who knows if Ingus even remembers now that he's back.
