[Hello Luceti! You might hear some frustrated murmurs of a girl who may or may not sound familiar before the screen opens up. Behind her are trees. You might notice that first—OR! The first thing you might notice is the bright gold/white wings on her back, or maybe it’s the twig she failed to find out of her curly golden hair, or maybe it’s the fact that her cat-green eyes look absolutely furious. She pauses, before she begins to speak, posture ramrod straight, lips pursed.]

I find myself in need of assistance, if you please. While I am not familiar with this sort of fontech, I know enough. To those that have successfully taken me away from my kingdom, listen very carefully.

[her lip curls slightly, a bit of that anger in her eyes slowly spreading to her otherwise regal tone of voice ]

I demand to know where I am, immediately. To those of you who are not involved in this ..this indecency [her cheeks color. This is wrong on so many levels. ] I request all the information you can offer me. [she raises her hand to try and reach back and touch what she knows is clearly a hurt back, but her shoulder lances with pain. What did her captors do to her? Dropping it at her side, she looks back at the screen, raising her chin. ]

You will be rewarded, I can promise you that. As for those of you who had the audacity to pull off this joke, take heed: [her voice rises]

How dare you carry out such a despicable act!. Anyone who considers taking away Kimlasca-Lanvaldear’s Princess in broad daylight without her consent is considered from this point an enemy of both herself and His Majesty, King Ingobert the Sixth. You have taken me from my Castle and my people, and I cannot forgive such injustice.

Once I return to my Father’s side, and I will return, you will be found, you will be judged, and you will be punished according to your actions.

[with one more scathing glare, the Princess shuts off the feed]

No, you're right...

[He lets out a sigh and runs his hand through his hair. It's okay. It's okay! It's Natalia! She won't tease you! ... Much! Xion knew her too when she was here before! They're going to meet sooner or later! JUST SPIT IT OUT:]

She's my girlfriend. [He says so fast that the words seem to go together.]

[ Oh my...she had honestly expected it to be Tear and himself, but--he had been here for a while.

I'll have to meet her, She thinks primly. After all, Luke is her not!cousin, she'll have to see. >:( ]

Well that wasn't so hard! I do hope you don't make that face with her or she'll assume you're a tomato instead of a charming boyfriend!

[ she clasps her hands dreamily ]

Oh Luke, I'm so pleased for you! When do I get to meet her? I will, of course!

[Luke can't help pressing a hand to his face over all that. T-Tomato... Guh, Natalia.]

M-Maybe sometime soon, uh... [Well, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell her that she was here once. So...] She's... kind of interested in archery. I know she was really into it for a while.

Then I will simply have to take her on as a student! What better a teacher than the Master of Lanvaldear style archery? [ her shaky mask is now with some sincere, goodnatured pride back in place, as she places her hands on her hips ]

Leave it to me!

[Her own enthusiasm makes him grin, that tomato blush on his face at least fading out a little. He's not really sure if Xion's still practicing archery, seeing how she has a new weapon... But he's sure that she'll appreciate the lessons.]

Natalia, thank you. I know you'll be a great teacher!

[By this point, the village is starting to come into view.]

Of course! This girl is important to you, I will give it complete effort! Oh my! Is that the village? [ she walks ahead a little, staring at him questioningly ]

It's not like home, is it..

[Luke looks ahead at the village, one hand going up to his hip as he walks.]

No... It's not like Auldrant at all. The fonons are different and everything... And Luceti itself is kind of like Engeve.

[He glances at her now.] I know it'll be tough... But there's a lot of us here already. [In fact, the only one who isn't here from their team is Guy.]

It is a village of people in need..[ and it's a village where all of you are. dead or alive..her duty (her choice) continues

Natalia smiles and clasps his hand, looking up with a smile.]

We've all faced tough things, have we not? We can do so again.
