[Today, Edgar is a busy man. First, a phone call, to one particular little girl who just happens to have summons at her beck and call. No, he doesn't want to talk to your father, he would rather speak with you directly, Eiko.]

[Second, he will climb to the roof to visit Reis. She's been wasting away again, and Edgar is not going to let her do that without a fight.]

[Third, once the rest is accomplished, he will make a broadcast from his office, an official-enough place that is less imposing than the throne room so as not to drive people away.]

I have something of an announcement to make, on behalf of the kingdom of Figaro.

Over the past few months, more and more children have arrived on Gaia without a protector, and many native Gaian children have seen their family and neighbors disappear before their eyes. I have acquired a large, empty building in the town of South Figaro that we plan to renovate extensively to provide a home for these children, a place where they can be assured of safety and security.

It will be run primarily by Terra Branford, but many children need many caretakers. If you are interested in either helping with the construction or at the facility after it is completed, please let me know in response to this message.

The world is changing around us, but together we can provide help for those in need.

[Reis isn't hard to find, sitting on the roof. She's staring blankly out at the desert and is already far more frail than when she first returned to Figaro. She doesn't really sleep or speak that anyone can remark on, and even the meals brought to her by kindly servants go untouched by her side. More or less, she's given up the will to live. If she cannot be with Beowulf, there is no reason to even try going through the motions.]

[Terra knocks on his office door shortly after that broadcast.]

Heh, I'd probably do more harm than good as a caretaker. But I'll be glad to help out with the construction.

I'm gonna help!

[...despite the fact that he's no older than a lot of the children who are going to be looked after there. Terra's involved and so the onion knight is helping.]

A noble endeavour! I shall make certain to send children who find themselves stranded in Alexandria your way.

Can you wish Terra good luck from me? I'm gonna ask and see if SeeD might be able to help.

[She smiles.]

Was that Terra's idea?

I have a little experience taking care of orphans. Can you let me know when the building is finished?

That's a really good thing you're doing, King Edgar! I know the kids will be happy.
