[Shortly after emerging from the Water Shrine, Rydia turns on her phone. She can't hide the exhaustion in her voice completely, but there are some things she needs to know.]

How did the other teams fare? Did you defeat your guardians? And...did you encounter Lufene, too?

Thanks to Porom and a lot of healing, I am. It could have been worse.

[Frustrated sigh.]

It wasn't even a real fight. She was just toying with us.

[Voice]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're alive!

[He knows that by all rights you should be dead awaiting resurrection at the Iifa Tree.]

What did she want?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

The Water Crystal, of course. We didn't give it to her, but that didn't stop her from harassing us until she was bored enough to leave.

[Voice]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Did all the crystals get placed in time?

[Locke breathes a sigh of relief.]

And we'll get Lufene.

[Locke was tired of his friends getting beat up like this.]

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I think so, yes. Now, to see if it will actually get us what we need....

[Voice]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

It has to. We've never been closer.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

You're right, we haven't. We can't afford to be self-congratulatory yet, though. All this work will be for nothing if we can't get to that shrine.

[Voice]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

They'll get to it.

Garland won't get away with anything else.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

What about you? Still myrrh-hunting?

[Voice]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Nah. We've got a couple of drops already.

I'm waiting to go treasure hunting!

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh? Just in general, or do you have a special target?

[Voice/Private]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to go with Celes.

[Voice/Private]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

--oh. Does that mean...?

[Voice/Private]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it means.

But, at least she remembers me!

[Voice/Private]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

That's a start.

[Voice/Private]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

It should be fun!

[Voice/Private]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

At least try to be careful? Don't do anything really reckless.

[Voice/Private]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

I'm not reckless!

[But he might have to show off just a little bit.]
