Video | A day late and a dollar short (Lockets + Compassnet)
[She's still disoriented. Disoriented and tired and feeling like a well-wrung sponge. She probably looks the part too, face having the ruddy, blotchy look of someone who's gone through a lot of upheaval in a very short space of time.
She barely understands what's going on, beyond the barest jist of things. For her, it was only a few hours at most since she was in the heart of the great gem before she was flung into this world, owing to ending up on a place in her world that was... temporally flexible... for those two while the gem did its work. And once she's taken some time to just sleep and gather herself... she can get started.
She still has Feathers. And Pathfinder. And even her locket. Which is as good a place as any to start.]
H-hey. I don't... really recognize where I am. He... that man said we were in the past I think?
[But this area honestly doesn't even look like part of the future world either. An entirely new location. She could try her corridors sure, but those only worked to places she's been before, and it seems risky if she isn't even sure whether those places exist in the past.
All of these time thoughts are giving her a headache. She reaches a hand up to rub her forehead. Behind her, a chocobo briefly butts into view to nudge the side of her head. She reaches the same free hand back to pat its beak absently.]
I'm sorry. [This must look so dumb.] I'm still really confused. But... we're all here, right?
[They're not all strangers again, starting from scratch?]
Locked to Compassnet
[With a more general address out of the way she goes for something a bit more targeted. He'd said the Seelie and Unseelie didn't exist yet, but after a few months of being wary of the lockets, she's still careful.
She pulls up Pathfinder's charm, the wayfinder that Riku had given her, and speaks slowly.]
Terra? Riku? Elizabeth? Sora? Merida? Um... I'm not sure who else is here.
[Who else of the people she cares about has access to the separate network. There's a nervous, almost pleading edge to her voice. Well if they were still here or not... this would make it obvious either way.]

She is glad he's still there, she thinks. But she still doesn't really know what to say.
She tries for an awkward smile, but she doesn't really relax until all of a sudden there's a screen full of beak. Then she can't really help it, she giggles, a hand coming up to cover her mouth.]
Hello there.
[She's not sure she's actually met his chocobo before.]
[Video]
Before Diarmuid can say anything in response to her, Aengus warks again and fluffs his wings causing Diarmuid to practically get a wing to the face. It would have been very embarrassing for him if he wasn't so fast.]
Aengus, you are lucky Caer isn't here! What would she think if she saw you showing off like that? Now sit!
[Diarmuid wraps his arm around the chocobo and pulls him down to sit next to him. Once the bird settles, he finally turns his attention back to the watch.]
Sorry about that. Maybe I shouldn't have named him after a god of love?
[Video]
I guess not?
[Truthfully a lot of that went straight over Xion's head. She's still less than six months old. She is still smiling though, which is an improvement, surely.]
[Video]
[Diarmuid shifts his hand to ruffle Aengus' feathers and then he turns his attention to Xion completely, smiling when he sees how happy she looks.]
It is really good to see you. How are you holding up?
[He is half afraid to ask considering it may spoil her good mood, but he is also worried about her.]
