Karst felt something in her die at that. Someone had seen Marona's friend, Marona would soon be done with her searching. Marona would not need Karst's company any more, not when she could have her friend.

Either that... or the one who had seen Ash would be bearing bad news to Marona, as Felix and his companions had borne bad news to Karst only so recently in Madra. But that wasn't likely. Who could kill a spirit? How?

So instead, Karst gave that haughty smile of hers and said, "There wew go, Marona! I told you we could help! ... Though it looks like you did most of the work, anyway..."

Once they reached the inn ("Actua Are", nice sounds, the way they could roll off the Prox-girl's tongue and adapted quite nicely to her slightly accented speech), Karst could try to use her own device and understand how it brought these people their loved ones so quickly. Too bad it probably wouldn't do the same for her.

"That's great, Marona!" Alphonse sounds truly happy for his new friend, sounding almost excited as he was when he found Ed's message. "At least now you know he's here."

He tries not to act nervous, but his eyes dart to every corner, every shadow, every nook and crany where something could be hiding to jump out and attack them.

"Can you tell them to come to the inn? If we try and stay in one place it would be easier for him to come find you."

Ed smiles and nods in agreement with his brother. It is indeed good news that the girl's almost found her missing friend. He glances over to Al, recalling not too long ago his own fears that he was permanently seperated from him. Things were looking up for most of the group.

He looks over to RedHead and sighs a little. Maybe her sister is dead. She didn't seem completely certain of it, at least sometimes. Whether it was due to denial or hope, he had no idea. He stands near her, looking at the rates for the hotel. "We'll do what we can to help you out. If she's truly gone....you can't bring back the dead, no matter what. It just doesn't happen." He speaks quietly, showing a maturity beyond his years, a side he rarely shows. Ed lowers his head for a moment, taking note of the counter's composition. "Sometimes, the only thing you can do is just move forward, and correct the mistakes you made in the past."

[[Whoo! New thread! And here I thought I was going to have to sing the Neverending Thread song... :P ]]

Marona wiped some of the tears from her cheeks then nodded to Alphonse-san, doing as she was told, adding what Al said. Once done she held the journal close, but fell silent at Ed's words

"This inn has been destroyed," Karst noted. "We'll have to find another..." Her gaze dropped to the journal she'd been waiting to use. "I still don't know how to use these things," she said slowly, confiding in what seemed here to be a weakness. "Do you think you others could locate the nearest Actua Are? Once we have a place to stay, Marona can communicate with whomever's seen her friend Ash, they can meet up, and the rest of us can begin work on long-term plans."

"My sister is dead," she told the blonde Southerner. "Sheba told me, and Felix was traveling alone, so I know it's true." After a moment, she decided to explain her apparent confusion on the topic. "For a while, I believed this was an afterlife-- that I might be able to rejoin her here and we'd never be separated again. Now I understand it isn't so."

She turned her back to him and rather pointedly watched Marona speak. Their conversation was over.
