[It's... Setusna F. Seiei. Marie wonders if this time, the Meister she recognizes so clearly will remember her. But whether he does or not really doesn't make a difference; she has to try reaching out to him all the same.]
Setsuna...
[Her thoughts change directions rather quickly when she notices his injuries, eyes widening.]
You're injured...
[It's not hard to see she's worried and wants to help, but... she has to wait and see first. She needs to see what his reaction is to know if he remembers her as an ally before rushing in. Still... she's just about ready to rush to the scene anyway, fidgeting impatiently with concern.]
[For a moment she blinks, because he said her name. Her true name. With that came an immense relief and a smile to match it.]
You remember.
[Shaking her head, her smile widens.]
It's hard to explain. Don't move. I'll explain everything when I get there.
[Even if she's happy for his memory, she can't ignore the hurt look on his face and the poor state of his shoulder. Thanks to her background, she's very good at first aid whether it be on herself or others, so she's sure she can help, she just has to get there first. Luckily it wasn't so long ago when she arrived, she knows where she'll likely find him.]
[...] [What is with that smile? While he does feel glad to see her smile like that, he doesn't really know why she looks so happy. In fact, he doesn't even know what she meant by, "You remember."]
Hm.
[He continues to be silent, even if a bit clueless. How did she know where he is? But, he assures her previous statement with a nod. He will be waiting, then.]
[Time to go into Concerned Hero mode.] There's a village here with an infirmary, where they'll treat your wound free of charge. Please look into visiting there. The village has an inn if you need a place to rest, and I'll also help you however I can. My name is Barnaby.
This place is called Demeleier, and-
[Huh, did he just say...] -I'm familiar with a Tieria Erde. Are you a friend of his?
[Tieria is staying in the village. That will make it easier to seek him, then. At least, he prays it is so...]
It is fine. [He understands how secretive Tieria can be. But thinking over everything, if Tieria went to the village... Did that mean that their ship crashed somewhere?
This may be strange to ask, but-] May I inquire of one more thing? If there was anything unusual that happened recently... Such as explosions?
[Even without actively paying attention to the broadcasts at the moment, Neil's attention is easily grabbed by this particular transmission. At the first utterance, he finds the voice vaguely familiar, but distant all the same. When he attempts to brush it off momentarily -- not even glancing at the video yet -- he hears it.
His name. Those of his fellow Meisters. Sumeragi.
His head shoots up and he finally glances at the display. Then it all falls into place. He shoots the boy (no... there's something distinctly different about him now) a grin.]
Setsuna! It's a relief to see you here --
[The grin that was on his face is quick to dissolve into a look of brotherly concern when he spies the state of Setsuna's damaged shoulder. He all but abandons his previous train of thought, concerned only with the well-being of the youngest Meister.]
You're injured. What happened to you?
[He definitely doesn't remember Setsuna being injured last he saw him.]

... Lockon.
[. . .]
[His mouth hangs open. He had to trail off, staring out. Despite Marie's initial information earlier on, he hasn't quite had the time to swallow it down. It's too physical to be a delusion. Everything in front of him right now...]
[He takes note of the younger Meister's expression -- mouth agape and eyes distant. It's something that he chooses to carefully store away for future questioning. The most important thing right now was that Setsuna was injured.
He wasn't entirely sure when or how it happened, but he wasn't about to question it (except that it's exactly what he does) -- especially when this world had already thrown him much stranger curveballs during his near two month stay.]
You were... shot? I wanna know what happened, I wanna know --
[He visibly relaxes upon hearing that the wound merely needed to be treated again.]

[Tieria's eyes slowly widened as he watched the transmission on the small handheld communicator, his grip on the device tightening with every second that went by. He isn't particularly pleased to see Setsuna F. Seiei, but he is glad (sort of) that another one of his colleagues has arrived in this place. Setsuna F. Seiei would, at least, serve as a form of support for both Lockon Stratos and himself.
But something is off about the appearance of the young Gundam Meister. He looks older and more mature than Tieria remembered. The face on the screen of his communicator is not the same face that he slapped hours before he arrived in Demeleier.]
Setsuna F. Seiei.
[His voice is cold and not at all welcoming, but he shows a bit of concern when he notices Setsuna's injury.]
Give me your current location and the status of your injury. I will update you on our surroundings and the other individuals that I have come in contact with once we can communicate face-to-face.
[Tieria looks over the map that he made with Barnaby Brooks Jr, flipping through a few pages in the notebook they compiled with information on Demeleier.]
I believe I know where you are located. Please remain there and I will locate you within the hour.
[He pauses, hesitating slightly, not sure how Setsuna F. Seiei will react to Lockon Stratos being alive once again.]
I am going to contact Lockon Stratos before I leave so he can provide assistance.

Marie Parfacy.
What happened?
[-Wait. If she is here, then the others... might not be far off, either!
At least, that is wishful thinking. But it just wouldn't be logical if they were all suddenly separated within a blink of an eye.]

Demeleier. Even its name is something he has not heard of at all.]
... A pleasure to meet you. [Just, pity it had to be this way.] Again, your assistance is appreciated. I am Setsuna F. Seiei.
Tieria Erde is a good ally of mine. If you know of his location, please tell me.

[He takes a moment to think.]
I apologize. I don't know where he's staying, but I would assume in one of the village's crofts.
Those are also free for the taking, by the way.

But, it is fine now. [His eyes fall slightly.] The bullet was already taken out. I just need to redo the treatment...
[Everything can come later. For now, he tries to stay as collected as possible, not only for his own sake. He knows that much.]

And with reason, he can understand that Tieria is likely as frustrated and at a loss as he is now.]
Tieria Erde.
[As expected from Tieria though, he is already ahead and prepared.]
[...] This device seems incapable of sending coordinates. However, I appear to be in a forest near some form of encampment.
My injury is a gunshot. But, the bullet was already taken out. It merely needs another treatment...

He closes his eyes calmly, nodding once to those instructions.]
Understood.
[He will wait here, as patiently and calm as he could hold. Questions can come later.]
