Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

You might be right. If I had been sent somewhere else, I would want to help however I could. I'll see what I can do, but I want to make sure people don't have to worry about where they'll be sleeping tonight too.

[punctually]

[ hello ma'am??? ]

can you sit down for like five minutes
i got the livestock don't worry

[suplexer]

[ THIS IS JUST HOW SHE IS... ]

I did tell him I'd mention it when I could.

Also, you can't gather up all the lost animals by yourself.

[punctually]

[ hello????????? ]

tifa
you're talking to me
i'm the only one who can gather up all the lost animals by myself

[suplexer]

Maybe, but...

You shouldn't overdo it either, okay? I can send Cloud out to help too.

[obscuris]

[ Where was all this bloody help when he was being sent like a dog all over the place???? ]

Then it seems in this our troubles are solved. My thanks, Lady Tifa, for your efforts.

[suplexer]

I can't promise it will all got solved right away, but we're working on it. Thanks for your help with it too.

I don't think we've met...?

[ Which is odd, because most people know each other in Solvunn, especially the Summoned. This one must keep to himself. ]

[obscuris]

I have been remiss in my manners. I am Barnabas Tharmr, a resident of Solvunn but for a couple of moons. A busy time, so it is somewhat understandable that our paths have only just crossed.

[suplexer]

Oh, don't worry about it. Like you said, it's been pretty chaotic here. At least you didn't get tossed to one of the other territories.

I'm Tifa Lockhart, and I've been here a few months longer than you. If you need to relax at any point, swing by the inn. I'll hopefully be there and I can whip something up for you at the bar.

[obscuris]

A kind offer, Lady Tifa. Though perhaps your young knight might take umbrage at your offer of hospitality in the midst of all your other work. It is impressive, to have carved out a space for yourself after so short a time.

[suplexer]

My knight???

[ This isn't that play that they all took part in at the Gold Saucer! ]

What do you mean?

[ Okay, she has an idea, based on how Peter's been acting, but why would you say it like that... ]

[obscuris]

Your staunchest defender, of course. Did I mispeak?

[suplexer]

I guess I'm just not used to that way of describing it. We don't really have knights where I'm from...

[ Just bodyguards. ]

Anyway, he's just being stubborn and accusing me of overworking myself while he does the exact same thing.

[obscuris]

[ under no circumstances can he let her talk peter out of capturing those animals. ]

A evidenced by this most recent storm of messages it does not look to me as though he exaggerates. Perhaps you might allow him to assist you this time. You will have plenty of time to return the favour.

[punctually]

here's an idea boss: come with me

awful evil demon boy

[obscuris]

I am already afield, young knight, not to worry. I have been searching since before dawn.

[ unfortunately ]

[suplexer]

Sorry, I sort of told him he shouldn't do everything on his own and this is the result. But he's supernaturally fast, so chances are he's going to do the lion's share anyway?

[punctually]

[ you're not a cute girl barnabas, sorry. ]

[punctually]

sorry can't hear you over the sound of the kettle going off

[ because "pot calling kettle black"... get it. ]

actually you know what would be an even better idea
you should take cloud with you to check on the compound

[suplexer]

[ no u!!!! ]

I didn't realize how stubborn you were.

[ Okay, Tifa didn't fully mean to send that, but with thought-messages, sometimes things slip through. Oh well. ]

I guess I could take him, but that means you need to find someone to help you with herding all the animals.

[punctually]

it's fine i'll just take mr barnacle with me

[ he means barnabas.... sorry again barnabas. ]

[suplexer]

You mean Barnabas?

[ Peter, please. ]

I guess you could give it a shot.

[ But he didn't seem thrilled about searching for the animals, just saying. ]

[punctually]

it's cool
i'm stubborn
anyway have fun with cloud make sure you're
safe

[suplexer]

You too. If you have to go too far off the beaten path to find any of the lost livestock, make sure you don't go alone.

[punctually]

yes ma'am
