First Flare

[A lanky redheaded man in a long black coat waves at the screen, apparently already comfortable with how it works. A komory bat is fluttering around above his head.]

Didn’t think I’d see this place again. Hey, everyone, my name is Lea. [He grins.] Don’t forget it, now.

I don’t know how I ended up here again, but does anyone know what’s going on? The moogle said you guys had been trying to work out what was up but that it didn’t seem like anyone had figured out how to get home. Since this isn’t the exam, I don’t think anyone’s going to try to wake me up any time soon.

Less so than mine. I hope you can at least find friends of yours here.

[eternalfrolicbond]

I've been doing pretty well with that so far.

[letteropener]

I'm glad to hear that. [She says that as if someone she barely knows finding friends is of serious personal gratification to her. Which, of course, it is.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

Friends a big deal for you?

[letteropener]

The magic of friendship is one of the most powerful and amazing resources we have. You would be surprised how many problems it can resolve.

[eternalfrolicbond]

[Less surprised than some people, to be truthful.]

Yeah. I mostly left home to find my friends.

[Celestia hasn't experienced how friend-powered the KH universe is yet. She'll be gratified when she does,]

The place where your friends are is generally closer to home anyway. One more reason I hope we are able to return there, soon.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Everyone here's pretty motivated. I'm sure we'll find a way.

[letteropener]

I'm certain we will.

[She smiles as she says this, because she is, and is glad to see someone else shares her belief.]
