[It's funny - Tear did the same thing when first trying to work the device. But at the moment, there's nothing humorous, only curious and then surprised when she recognizes the gloves and the regal bearing.]
[This strange device is certainly proving to be useful. Perhaps even more so than her natural stubborn tendencies and a spur-of-the-moment rescue attempt. She's feeling just a little foolish by now. Why is it that castle life and the real world are so different from one another?]
I see... [Natalia considers what the others have told her - that her companions might have somehow been existing in the City for a while despite her only just leaving them. She draws herself up a little.]
Three quarters of an hour, would be my guess. Fifty minutes at the very most. But why do you ask? Has something happened?
[Not long at all...She chews the inside of her lip.]
It's very important that you tell me what is the last thing you remember before arriving here. [She needs to know how much she can tell Natalia, and if she needs to be careful with her words. With Luke, she got lucky.]
[Natalia sighs quietly. Very well, Tear, if you insist she will reveal all that she knows.]
We were engaging the God-Generals in battle within the ruins beneath the Zao Desert. There were three of them: a large man that Colonel Curtiss referred to as "Largo", a masked boy, and the one called "Asch the Bloody" whom we met outside of Baticul. Fon Master Ion was with them as well.
[But that seems so unlikely and impossible...what might it even mean if there were years separating the others and herself? The way Tear is being so cautious causes her to wonder.]
It appears to be a city square of a sort. There's a fountain, and a strange spinning fon machine across the way. If I'm not mistaken, monsters are carved into it. [Although for all that the machine gives off an eery air, the monsters are quite lovely.]
Princess Natalia?

Tear...? So you've been captured as well.

[A pause. Luke said that Natalia had been here before..] What do you remember?

Where were we? Who was with us? I need you to be as specific as you can.

[She'll need to pick her words carefully. For now, she just nods.]
Thank you. This place does strange things with time - people from the same place can come with months or years separating them, so I had to know.
Where are you right now? It might be better to speak in person.
