[Sigh.]

Well, we tried. I'm sorry it wasn't enough, Cosmos.

I'm not doing too badly, all things considered. [It sounds like she's trying to convince herself more than anything else; exhaustion is evident.] If anyone needs extra healing, let me know. I'll be ready and willing to help

[ She almost turns away without saying anything. In the end, she does speak but she's being a wee shy about it. ]

Can I -- [ that sounds weird, let's try again. ]

. . . I'll help, too. Have you healed yourself yet?

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[heavenslament]

...a little. I just know that there's people who were hurt worse than me, so I'd rather focus my energy on them.

Who are you?

[Trying to place the voice and failing.]

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[hymnomancy]

Why don't you let me heal you before you do, then? It'd be a lot easier on you.

Oh, my name's Adele. I'm . . . new, you could say.

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[heavenslament]

That's nice of you to offer. Only if I'm not taking energy away from the badly-wounded, though. I would feel terrible if that was the case.

My name is Terra. I've...been here a while.

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[hymnomancy]

Of course not. Think about how they'd feel if they found out you exhausted yourself for their sake. A healthy image is a good emotional cure, you know.

Really? How long?

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[heavenslament]

I guess I never thought about it like that.

[Pause, as she debates whether or not to answer those questions.]

I've been here since the previous war.

[voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[hymnomancy]

Well, there you go. Sounds good, right?

[ ! ]

You mean this is the second time?

[Voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[heavenslament]

Um, yes. I think so.

[Not quite sure, by her tone.]

Well, I'm making my way around the sanctuary....

[Voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[hymnomancy]

. . . Oh! I'll be there in a bit. Don't start wearing yourself out until then.

[Voice/filtered to Team Cosmos]

[heavenslament]

I'll do my best not to, Adele. Thank you.

[hymnomancy]

[ Cue a one minute time skip, and Adele is out and about in Order's Sanctuary with her staff in hand. She's on the lookout for anyone who may look like a Terra.

It's a unique name. Shouldn't be that hard, right? ]

Hm . . .

[action]

[heavenslament]

[Terra's realizing that she should have made a video log instead; it's easier to recognize people, that way. But at least she learned the girl's name. So, she wanders around and calls out.]

...Adele?

[action]

[hymnomancy]

[ Hearing her name from that familiar voice is confirmation enough for Adele. Upon sighting a green-haired girl she waves. ]

Terra!

[action]

[heavenslament]

[Terra perks up and waves back.]

Oh, hello!

[A sheepish smile forms as she approaches.]

I should have used the visual option for the crystal, but I didn't think about it at the time.

[action]

[hymnomancy]

[ She offers a small smile in return. ]

Hey, no worries. What matters is that we found each other.

[action]

[heavenslament]

[Terra nods. She doesn't seem too badly off, a bit more pale than she ought to be, and she moves with a little stiffness that might indicate bruises or whatnot being covered by her dress.]

That's true. I wish all this healing wasn't necessary, but it's still nice to meet you in person.
