[The video first comes on to show darkness- the Sky Phone is being covered completely by someone's hand. There's the muffled sound of a moogle-explanation in progress. The hand only moves after the moogle's explanation is finished, as the man moves to examine the device. It becomes clear enough why no one could see anything on the Sky Phone's

[Cecil stares at the Sky Phone. He doesn't know the man's face, but he knows that voice. Discounting Memoria, it's a voice he hasn't heard in seventeen years. A voice he had began to think he'd never hear again.]

...Brother...?

[rebornaninsect]

[Cecil looks almost exactly as he did in Golbez's dream. Golbez examines him intently, looking carefully for any signs of something wrong, whether physical injuries or anything else. Perhaps in another situation he would be more awkward about this, but right now, he needs to be sure that Cecil is safe.]

Cecil. Are you all right?

[trinitycrusades]

[Cecil quickly recollects himself from his shock. He has mixed feelings about Golbez's appearance; it dredges up painful memories the decades had buried... But at the same time, he's his brother. He forgave him a long time ago, and had hoped ever since the war of the gods that they would meet again.]

I'm fine, you've no need to worry. Where are you?

[video]

[rebornaninsect]

The- moogle has called it Tida. Where are you? [Covert examinations work, somewhat, but it would be best to check in person, even if it made Cecil uncomfortable. As long as Cecil was alright, Golbez would be willing to avoid him, if it was what Cecil wanted.]

[twincasting]

...You've arrived.

[Not sure what to think about that. It's probably a good thing. He was a powerful ally against the creator, after all, and it means the world isn't forcing her to abandon Kluya's request. But- well, old grudge is old but still very much present.]

Cecil is present in this world. I- don't doubt that he will attempt to speak to you soon enough.

[Video]

[rebornaninsect]

He has.

...Who are you? [Sorry, Porom, but the pink hair makes it kind of difficult to recognize. Not that he met the twins much, either.]

[Video]

[twincasting]

We've not met yet, then. [A statement, not a question. The fact that he doesn't know her is more inconvenient than anything else - it means there's a 17 year gap he could be from, if she had to try and guess. It's not important for now but it irritates her that she has no way of knowing without asking.]

My name is Porom. I'm a mage from the dragon's mouth. [...well, Mysidia technically isn't in the dragon's mouth any more. Not here.]

[Video]

[rebornaninsect]

You are Cecil's comrade. [Well. That makes it slightly more awkward.]

[This, dear uncle, is the face of one thrilled teenager. He'd been hoping you'd meet again, just hadn't thought it'd get to be so soon. Ceodore's grinning from ear to ear right now, in fact.]

Golbez! It's great to see you again!

[rebornaninsect]

[Seeing as this is only a first meeting for one of them... Golbez is decidedly less enthusiastic about it. He can notice the resemblance to Cecil, but since he doesn't really know Ceodore yet, he's not going to comment on it.]

How do you know my name?

video

[lunarianlegacy]

Huh?

[He's the right age so it doesn't make sense not to be recognized. At least by Ceodore's reckoning.]

Uncle, you okay?

[Maybe one too many Black Fangs thrown at you?]

video

[rebornaninsect]

...Then you are Cecil's son.

[At least that's established. But that still doesn't explain why Golbez was recognized so quickly, it seems to him.]

[lastsummoner]

Theodor!!

[It's been forever since Eiko's seen the man, but it doesn't diminish how much she liked him at the time. Oddly enough, she's posting this from inside a wardrobe, because she's hiding from her tutors and breaking phone groundation.]

[rebornaninsect]

[Having a small girl call out his name-happily- is strange enough. Having a small girl call out his real name, one that he hasn't gone by in years, is even more strange. So he's suspicious.]

Who are you?

[lastsummoner]

I'm Eiko.

[Pouty face. You, sir, are getting it.]

I guess you forgot, huh?

[rebornaninsect]

[Suspicion is translating into immunity to pouts, at the moment.]

I doubt I have ever known anyone by that name, child.

[eidolon_soul]

[Her eyes widen considerably.]

Theodor!

[...well, that's what he asked her to call him during his last visit.]

[Video]

[rebornaninsect]

[Oh, if he knew how to filter. At least he actually knows who this one is.]

Ryida. Where is Cecil?

[Video]

[eidolon_soul]

He's in Troia...or was. I think the Harveys went to get Ursula. What about you? Where are you right now? Do you need a lift?

[Video]

[rebornaninsect]

According to the... moogle, Tida. I do not need assistance. [Well, he doesn't need to force his presence on people, anyway.]
