Izana.

[Noel sounds a little surprised but the relief is there too.]

You all in one piece?

[bonafidebrother]

[ Oh, that makes a flicker of amusement go over the connection. ]

Well, the joke goes that all my things stayed on the inside and that's where they're supposed to be? [ Soldiers' humor, sorry, Noel.

Then, more seriously, ] I'll heal up fine. Thanks for keeping things going, I really didn't mean to bail out like this.

[dyingworld]

[It's alright. He finds the amusement in it too.]

That's good to hear. And don't worry about it.

[Taking care of the birds isn't a big deal. Plus he has a lot of help.]

Maybe next time be a little more careful, though.

[bonafidebrother]

[ Izana laughs a little in his mind, the connection faintly aglow with embarrassment. ]

It wasn't supposed to be a fighting kind of a task, either. I'll put that down on the element of surprise. This time.

And I'm not planning on a repeat performance.

[dyingworld]

[Izana wasn't going to get away without at least a little bit of teasing and scolding from Noel.]

This world has a way of surprising you at the best and worst of times. At least you know now.

[bonafidebrother]

Yeah, I guess! I'll remember.

Did you have any trouble? Chicks settling in all right?

[dyingworld]

No troubles. There's a lot of people help out, after all. Your friend, Ace? Has been around too.

Chicks are fine, everyone seems to be handling them well.

[bonafidebrother]

Ace is a good one. [ Softly, almost smiling. ] And he likes the chocobos a lot, so I'm glad he's around all the same.

[ All right, maybe a little concerned, in case Ace is still trying to sleep curled up with Chichiri all the time, but he'll deal with that. Later. ]

And that's good to hear.

Sorry for disappearing like this, Noel, and thanks for keeping things going. I'll be a bit slow for the next weeks, but I'm allowed to move around a little, [ Izana, you were allowed to walk to the teleporter and from there to your house... though, in fairness, that is permission to move around, ] so I'll see what I can pick up.

[ Maybe he can get better at mending tack and such. Those don't require a lot of walking around and he can do it while mostly resting. ]

[dyingworld]

[Noel isn't the type of person to tell someone to take it easy if they clearly don't want to. If people want to be reckless like that, that's their prerogative.]

Alright. Ask for help if you need it. There's lots of people around.

[But he will offer a hand.]

[bonafidebrother]

[ ... look, Izana is taking it easy! He really is. He's just not taking it completely still. ]

Thanks, Noel. I will.

[ And the gratitude over the connection is real.

Izana gives a bit of a hum. ]

See you around.
