I haven’t been able to find my brother, Joshua, since the fog came. Has anyone seen a man, a little over 6 feet tall, light brown hair that’s a big longer, blue-green eyes, wears a lot of black and red, has a very formal and convoluted way of speaking? He’s kind, curious, intelligent. He would have done his best to help anyone who may have needed it during the mission.

Please, if anyone has seen him, call me, text me, yell my name from the top of a building, I don’t care. I just need to know that he’s okay.

Well, we would certainly have something we could bond over then.

[Which is probably why Dion mentioned it. He sees you, Dion.]

Is he alright? He seemed a bit aloof when I first met him and, well, in my experience, 'aloof' is usually a cover-up for something else.

I should imagine you'd have much to discuss.

[ Caught... ]

I've my suspicions as well. When first we met, he'd been made younger by one of the technologies in Aphaia. He was more open then, though quite criticial of himself when met with setbacks or mistakes, but he brightened considerably with encouragement and support. I believe at heart, he is the same, however the experiences that have brought him to this point have affected him.

I'll have to bring it up then. I am considering asking for Ambrosia to be brought here. Maybe I could introduce them.

I see. I'll do what I can for him. Sometimes, people just need to know that they have a safe space to let themselves process without judgment from others. He seems like a generous person. I would hate for him to lose that light.

A fine idea, she is a good and noble bird. You could do with your trusted steed, and I'd expect Cloud would be pleased to meet her.

[ That light, hm... ]

He is quite kind and generous with his time. When first I arrived here and was searching for your brother, we spoke for a time about him, and someone he is yet waiting for. Should you ever meet a woman named Aerith, with green eyes and long chestnut hair, please alert him immediately.

[herofhopeless]

I'd like to see how he handles her more stubborn nature.

[A lot could be learned about a person based not only on how they treat animals, but how they treat ones that aren't exactly friendly.]

I'll keep an eye out for her and try to keep an eye on him. At the very least, I would like to get to know him better.

[oblige]

Is she truly? I've only observed from a distance.

[ As was the way of his self-imposed position, really. ]

I expect you will get along well.

[herofhopeless]

She can be. She is also extremely protective. I feel as though she does a danger assessment each time a new person comes anywhere near me.

[He's only half joking.]

I trust your judgment. Thank you for looking out for both of us.

[oblige]

So, she is your stalwart defender.

[ How sweet. ]

I would say no thanks is necessary, but I suspect I know how you would respond to that.

[herofhopeless]

She has been since I was young.

Your suspicion would be correct. I would insist, you would insist that it wasn't needed, we would go back and forth a couple of times, both of us ultimately not backing down on our points, so really, this is for the best.

[The light teasing somehow makes Clive feel the smallest bit better, all things considered.]

[oblige]

That seems all the more reason that she should join you.

Just as I thought indeed. We save time this way.

[herofhopeless]

I've been toying with the idea for a bit. I'll put in a request for her. You can meet her, if you'd like.

[oblige]

Yes, I would like that... Though it remains to be seen as to whether I shall pass her inspection.

[ A little mild humor, suspecting Clive could use some. ]

[herofhopeless]

I'm certain you will, though she can seem like a tough nut to crack.


[The action is mutual. Clive worries about you, Dion.]

[oblige]

I shall take no offense.

[ Clearly Clive has need of his tough bird. ]

[herofhopeless]

Then I'll let you know when I bring her here.

Thanks for talking with me, Dion. Stay safe.

[oblige]

Of course. You as well.
