[action] Vitalia's cottage -> Treehouse

[made_of_science]

[Well, crap. There's a burning greenhouse on the lake. That can't be good. Vitalia certainly doesn't think so: she's spent a few moments panicking, tried to rescue her precious plant babies, failed, and then gone back to panicking, since that seemed to be a decent plan

[Kuja appears at once. She rarely gets visitors, but she recognizes Vitalia's voice at once and doesn't hesitate to open the door.]

Yes, my dear, what is it? [It would be hard to miss Vitalia's distress, but Kuja's own manner remains cool and controlled.]

[made_of_science]

Oh, please, Miss Kuja, you must help me! It's happening again! [She whips around, looking to the orange glow from the lakeside, then checking the landscape between for any sign of Horrible Thug Women.]

[existwithoutme]

Happening again? [She follows Vitalia's gaze, sees the fire. Things on fire are quite a familiar sight, where she's concerned.]

What would you like me to do? Put the fire out?

[made_of_science]

Oh! Oh, could you do that? But if that woman is still there... Ohhhh, I couldn't even rescue any specimens! All my work!

[mnementomori]

[the commotion makes her start, and she leans out a nearby window to see what's going on.]

You're looking for Kuja? Is everything okay?

[made_of_science]

Oh, in mercy's name, please let me in! [Her head whips around, searching the landscape for Terrible Thug Women.] I'm sure she'll be coming for me at any moment!

[mnementomori]

What? [is she running away from someone?]

Someone's chasing you? You can come in. The door's not locked. Kuja lives up there, though... [she points at said treehouse addition, which is higher up.]

[made_of_science]

o- oh, yes, of course! Thank you ever so much!

I do hope she isn't following me! Oh dear, how could anyone do this?!
