[The video feed is a bit unsteady, at first. When it stabilizes, it shows a very winded Terra pausing for breath. She winces as she reaches up to shake the sand out of her hair, not having had time to heal herself just yet. When she's able to speak, her words come out in a rush.]

I was out training in the desert, when I saw a large creature lingering near the myrrh tree...a sandhorse. When I went closer to investigate, it attacked...and it's a lot stronger than I remember those being. I just barely managed to teleport away.

[She pauses after brushing away more sand, frowning.]

Something about this isn't right. I'd like to return. That tree is important, isn't it?

Good. I'm glad you're not seriously injured.

It sounds like a group outing is in order.

[She nods.]

I don't want someone else stumbling across it. They might not be as lucky.

A wise idea. There are enough foolhardy adventurers out there that might run at it headfirst without stopping to think beforehand.

[The feed shakes a bit as she re-enters the castle.]

Are you nearby?

I could be there in short order.

No worries, I would be glad to assist you, should you need it.

[Well, why not. And...maybe Celes would want to see him again, not that such is her real motivation.]

As long as you don't mind, I'd be glad to have your help.

[He smiles.]

I could never mind doing a favor for a friend. I'll be there shortly.
