[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?

In a few minutes - if we're going to the tree, I'd like to bring the Chalice.

Is anyone else coming?

Celes, Locke...Bartz and Balthier ought to be here soon, too.

[Terra frowns.]

If anyone focuses on that, I'll remind them we have a sandhorse to defeat.

[She's usually sensitive to that particular drama, but is so not putting up with it right now.]

[And that actually gets a chuckle - Edgar is both amused and admiring now.]

Did I ever tell you you are particularly lovely when you take charge of things? I will meet you out there, as well as the squabbling bunch, as soon as I acquire the chalice.

[Terra looks startled at that random compliment, and her cheeks turn pink for a moment. She nods, trying to focus again on the task at hand.]

Alright. I'll see you soon.
