...Okay?

[ And this is a problem. Why? ]

[flamekthunder]

[..............]

Did you not notice her missing?

[makoglow]

Yes? She's an adult and doesn't need to tell us where she is going.

[flamekthunder]

[...Sigh.]

I'm going to guess she wasn't gone long enough for you to notice then.

[Guess that's a good thing then...probably???]

She went through the rifts at some point and returned not too long ago—washed up on the beach right in front of my cabin.

[makoglow]

What do you mean "washed up?" Is she all right?

[ Stepping through a rift? Why would she do that? Cloud has so many questions. But first of all, he needs to know that Tifa is okay. Safe. ]

[flamekthunder]

She's not injured, but she's apparently been through mako.

[Small pause, thinking back to how she had been and how much he should really say.]

She's clearly rattled and exhausted, sleeping on my couch right now.

[makoglow]

Mako...

[ Frowning. ]

How soaked are her clothes? Is it just sleeping or more than that?

[flamekthunder]

She was soaked through and had a chance to dry herself, but she refused anything more than that. But she was clearly weak, could barely walk.

It would be better if you came to get her.

[makoglow]

Mako is dangerous if it soaks into the skin. She really should change clothes.

Give me the location. I'll come get her.

[flamekthunder]

[Welp.

...

Granted, none of shirts would be suitable for her—]

I'll send it through text. Just be careful... I'm in Nogard, so if necessary I can take my boat to meet you in more neutral waters.

[Things are a bit more testy with what happened back in Norhpip.]

[makoglow]

Personally, I'd love to see them come after me.

[ That would probably make things worse... ]

But I won't go looking for a fight.

[flamekthunder]

[Cloud... No...]

Then come in this way...

[A brief moment as Eustace does a quick diagram on the phone and sends it to Cloud via text.]

Check your messages. There's a dock you can use that will be closer to where I am than trying to get into the main port.

[Because of course Nogard would have plenty of "back ports" to use.]

[makoglow]

[ He's looking over the diagram with a nod. ]

Is the dock guarded or on any patrol routes?

[flamekthunder]

Not much on this side, but I'd aim to enter just after sundown.

[A small half shrug.]

It's Nogard, so it's everyone for themselves.

[makoglow]

Got it.

...Thanks, by the way. For taking care of her.

[flamekthunder]

Of course.

[Small pause as he glances back towards the door.]

Let me know when you're close.
