[ Life for Rosa had recently taken a turn for the very worst. With that mysterious green-haired girl turning up and the moon on a crash course for their planet, not to mention Cecil... Rosa was feeling a bit lost. The Lunar Whale was on its course for the moon again.

Or it had been when Rosa had closed her eyes. When she opens them again, she is very startled to find herself on the ground... and very definitely not in the Lunar Whale anymore. She quickly gets up and looks around.

This... this place. It feels so familiar. And that little ball of fluff coming nearer and turning on the video function for the phone to show her how it works? Definitely familiar. ]

Oh no...

Is something wrong, Kupo? Are the Phones scaring you?

[ Rosa shakes her head and takes the device, not realizing it's... recording this whole conversation. ]

No, I've been here before. I remember how to use this. Thank you.

No problem, Kupo. Do you have questions?

Yes. Where am I? Oh- This doesn't need to be on. Not yet.

[ She glances down and finally turns off the sky phone. ]

[ Later, she'll add on a bit more: ]

It seems I've returned. How many of you remember me, I wonder? How many are still here... Cecil...? Ceodore...

[So Ceodore's been trying to figure out a way to tell his father than he wants to go with Ursula to Narshe. Every time he works up the nerve to broach the subject... something happens. So while he's stewing on it again, he happens to pick up the phone.]

[He knows that woman. HE KNOWS HER! That's his mother! Excitement is tangible and he rushes to respond.]

Mother! Mother, you're here! Where are you? Are you okay?!

Ceodore! [ She looks so surprised but a little, selfishly, glad. ]

I'm in a place called the Tomb of... some unknown king, I think is what the moogle called it. It's nowhere I've ever seen. [ Nowhere that was there last time anyway. ]

Where are you? Are you in Troia? [ Please ask how she knows this. ]

A tomb?

[What is it with Gaia and people showing up in crypts anyway? First Ursula and now Mom.]

Yeah. Father and I both are. Kain and Ursula too.

[Well why wouldn't she know that? She was there with them before. And in a twist of assuming she remembers the last visit...]

He's back to the right age now. Oh! And Kain can walk again!

That's what the moogle said. I'm certain this wasn't on the map the last time I was here.

Good... you, Cecil, and Kain. And Ursula as well? Is... Rydia still here?

[ Wait, what. That gets a rather startled look out of her. ] Kain couldn't walk?! What happened?

Uh, well... they told me he died. Before I got here. I don't really understand it. But... Mother, you should know this. You were there when I found out. Something to do with possessed stones and demons. Father and Kain both died as a result. Father couldn't hear.

[Any of this ringing a bell? He'll keep rambling hoping it'll jog her memory. Except for the part that involved him falling out of the Viera village.]

[ Blink. This... could this be what people had meant when others had come and gone and not remembered? But she remembers far earlier... was it earlier? Sob her brain; it is hurting. ]

When... did this happen?

Well, uh... more than four months ago? I guess. You might have to ask Kain or Rydia. Father doesn't remember.

He doesn't? You mean he went home again? [ That makes twice, then. Sob. ] Rydia's here? [ Good. Rosa will have questions for her. ]

He did. Right after Troia was attacked. Ursula and I did what we could until he returned.

[And so changing subjects off himself.]

Rydia's in Alfitaria with Edge. Uh, Ursula will be leaving for Narshe soon.

... that's kind of my fault.

Ceodore... You've grown. Thank you. I know your father appreciated the help.

[ There might be a twinge of sympathy. She knows what it's like to lose Cecil. ]

Rydia, Edge, Kain, Ursula... [ She's trying to keep track of who's here and who... was here the last time she was. ]

Your fault? What happened?

I... kind of volunteered her. Larsa disappeared and they needed someone.

[And if his wincing is any indication, yes Cecil more than already covered the disciplinary needs.]

[ She'll just raise her eyebrows. That's a very "so what are you going to do about it?" look. ]

Is she doing all right? [ read: How did she handle that? ]

Oh sure! She's all packed up and stuff.

[See that? It's your derpy kid missing the point there.]

[ Siiiigh. ]

She's going alone?

W-well, um...

I'd like to go with her.

[ That's definitely a nod of approval. ]

She would probably appreciate the company. Have you spoken to her about it yet?

[ Granted, she'll be checking up on Ceodore a lot and fretting because her precious baby isn't with her, but... this is probably the best course, especially if Ceodore volunteered Ursula for the job. ]

Yeah. I told her I'd talk to Father but... other stuff keeps coming up.

We can all talk after we return to Troia. [ Or on the return trip. ] I'm sure he will understand.

Okay.

He was angry I volunteered her.

Kinda deserved it.

[ Agreeing to go with her might change it. She nods once. She's glad he understands why volunteering Ursula was wrong. Silly derpy boy ♥ ]

We can discuss it later. Be careful on your way here. I can't imagine this place won't have monsters.

[ She's been lucky not to have run into any so far. ]
