[Mjrn's leaning against the chocobo stable building at the edge of town, staring outward at the desert that stretched ahead. It's close to sunset, by the placement of the shadows and the hue of the sky, as well as the sun's glow reflected on the thoughtful Viera. She doesn't speak for a moment, just taking it in. Then, she snaps out of her trance and stares at the screen.]

After much consideration, I have applied to join SeeD.

[There's a brief flicker of a smile, trying not get her hopes up.]

I know not if I will be found acceptable, but it is my hope nonetheless.

Whether or not this occurs, I will depart Figaro shortly; there is another matter that I must pursue, alone.

[A disgruntled cheep can be heard out of view and Mjrn half-smiles for a moment.]

I believe Chit suspects. She will not long allow me out of her sight. Yet, it must happen....

[Filtered to Ramza]

[That resolve in her features fades as curiosity and concern take hold once she's secured their conversation.]

I hope you are well, Ramza. Might I inquire as to the state of Reis? If you need any further assistance, you have but to ask. I would gladly meet with you both again.

Unless they've changed the exam, which wouldn't be too surprising what with being in a new world and everything.

Aye, it would seem possible.

What was the nature of the previous exam, if I might ask?

The written stuff is pretty straightforward. The mission part is where most people fail. They'll probably send you and another group of applicants on some mock mission to see how you react in the field. They grade you based on your actions.

I see....

[She looks a bit worried at that.]

I am not afraid of combat, or I would never consider joining. Yet, I have not often functioned as part of a team.

Just listen to the team leader, and you should be fine. Unless, of course, you get pinned for the leader--then everything sort of falls on your decisions.

[The thought of that makes her stomach lurch.]

I...I hope they would wish for one more experienced in such matters, but I shall remember this.

No telling what they'll do. Especially now that Squall's in charge.

I suppose I must be prepared for any circumstance, then.

[Mjrn tries to sound more resolved than resigned, but the whole thing is still pretty intimidating.]

[Yes, he is more than slightly amused by the fact that she seems so insecure about the whole ordeal]

Be sure and let us know how it works out for you.

[Either she doesn't notice that amusement or is too absorbed in her own worries to comment. It amounts to the same thing, really.]

I am certain all will be revealed ere long.
