Catching up with people who think of you as dead is awkward.
Who: Teta Hyral, Zalbag Beoulve
What: Teta manages to find a way to give her regards to Zalbag. But then conversation turns awkward. At least for Zalbag?
When: June 11, from 11:05 to 11:51 PM
Warnings: Absolutely none.
Note: Though Teta refers to herself as 'Teta', Zalbag refers to her as 'Tietra', which was her name in the War of the Lions Translation.
[23:09] Teta: Hello...?
[23:09] Zalbag: ...Yes?
[23:09] Teta: Ah...!
[23:10] Teta: H-Hello, is this...Is this Zalbag Beoulve?
[23:11] Zalbag: Yes, this is he. To whom may I be speaking with?
[23:12] Teta: Oh! It is you! I had heard from Sir Katsuya that you were here, and I had tried to find a way to contact you...It's...It's me, Teta.
[23:14] Zalbag: Oh... Tietra.. It's you...
[23:14] Teta: Yes. Is...Is something wrong?
[23:15] Zalbag: No no, nothing at all. How do you fare, Tietra?
[23:15] Teta: I fare well, sir. I am just sorry that I have not contacted you sooner. Just when I arrived, I did not fathom that you were here, too...
[23:17] Zalbag: Oh please. Do think nothing of it. It is no fault of yours. I've been kept quite busy, you see.
[23:20] Teta: Oh, I see...though I never imagined that I would see you here. I am not displeased, though. It would have been quite saddening if I was without anyone I knew here.
[23:20] Zalbag: Ahh, I understand your sentiments, Tietra....
[23:24] Teta: Though, how long have you been here? It's strange...I had last seen Ramza only mere days ago in Ivalice, and yet he says he has been here for months. It's most peculiar.
[23:25] Zalbag: ....I've taken residence here for almost a full year now, Tietra...
[23:26] Teta: A full year?! But...how can a person be somewhere for an entire year, when they were seen in their own world only days before?
[23:27] Zalbag: Tietra...
[23:28] Teta: I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so impertinent.
[23:31] Zalbag: No no, it is quite alright. Apology not necessary...
[23:31] Teta: It is just a little bit confusing to me, but I'm sure that everything will get explained in time. This world is already different from Ivalice in so many ways...something like this shouldn't be so strange.
[23:32] Zalbag: Ahh yes, you are quite right.
[23:32] Zalbag: You have spoken with Ramza, yes?
[23:32] Teta: Yes, I have. Though....he seemed strange.
[23:32] Zalbag: Strange..? How so?
[23:33] Teta: Well, he had said that he needed to tell me something, but could not tell me now. And that I simply had to trust him. I told him I would be patient and wait, but...I am worried, I will admit.
[23:33] Zalbag: Ahh, I see......
[23:34] Teta: I am sorry. I am probably worrying for nothing. What he said just seemed so cryptic, is all.
[23:35] Zalbag: Mayhap in due time, he will tell you...
[23:35] Teta: Yes, you are quite right. I should wait until he tells me himself, instead of getting impatient.
[23:36] Zalbag: Mayhap he cannot find the right words, is all...
[23:37] Teta: You are probably right.
[23:44] Teta: I-In any case, I am sorry to have bothered you. I simply wished to speak to you for a time, and give you my regards.
[23:45] Zalbag: Oh no no, not at all, Tietra. You were not a bother...
[23:46] Teta: I-If you say so. You, Ramza, and myself should meet sometime soon. It would be nice to see the two of you again, even though, to me, it's only been a short time since we last spoke...
[23:50] Zalbag: I suppose we should....
[23:51] Teta: At your and Ramza's leisure, of course. I may have no obligations as the school is not in session, but as I am unsure of your schedules it would be impertinent to request haste.
