[When the feed clicks on, there's a soft sniffle, but Flora's doing her best to try and keep it together. (And failing.)]

U-um... Has... Has anyone seen Luke Triton? H-he and I were on a little trek, outside Mount Mortar, a-and...

Well, Mr. Bear and... and Claire, they're both in my party now. [There's a soft cry, and she has to take a moment to compose herself.]

I... I haven't seen him in a f-few hours-- a-and I don't quite know where... where I'm supposed to go. I... I'm hoping he's just exploring on his own, but...

He won't even answer.

[Everyone's gone and left her behind again.]

[Laguna is pinged, of course! Sniffling teenager?]
Hey - uh...
[His voice is gentle - wasn't this the girl who gave him those... cookies? Around Christmas? The ones which Boco nommed down?]
Listen. There's no need to cry, okay? Are you safe? D'you need any assistance?

I... I don't wish to impose on you though... I'm... I'm in Mount Mortar, as safe as that is... A friend says I should try to head b-back to a city.

That's around the north of Goldenrod, right? How about I try meeting you in Ecruteak - I mean, if you've just lost somebody...
[A bit of a sigh. Laguna hates thinking about this - he can't help but think of his little girl. Sure, Ellone is younger, but...]
You don't need to be alone, okay?

[icansolvethemtoo]

T-that would be nice... I-- I know Winry's heading up, b-but it'll take her a w-while too. [She just whimpers softly.]

I'm s-so sorry to bother you this way. T-thank you s-so much!

[ragnarok_strike]

It's not a bother! [You can't see it because audio, but Laguna has a smile - though he's feeling a little nervous. Is he calming her well enough? How'd he react if somebody vanished...?]
Guess I'll need to let Clem and Ushio know, though... I'll be there as soon as I can. I've wanted to check out Ecruteak, anyway. So, y'don't need to worry about me, Flora.

[She sniffles softly. It's working a lot more than he realized.]

U-um, Laguna, sir... Should I wait here? Or do you think I should start walking back?

[audio]

[ragnarok_strike]

[Sir, huh? That catches Laguna off guard, for a second. Man, young ladies should just call him Uncle, not sir!]
I think it'd be best if you started heading back - it doesn't look like it's gonna be a good time out there. Do you have a Pokemon to ride?
[He wonders if any of his could get to her before him... maybe his Aerodactyl? Riley's nice and large...]

No, sadly. Well, I think one or two of them can carry me, but I traveled on foot. I can walk.
