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. ]
[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.

[Noel sounds a little surprised but the relief is there too.]
You all in one piece?

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.

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.

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.

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

Did you have any trouble? Chicks settling in all right?
no subject
Chicks are fine, everyone seems to be handling them well.

[But he will offer a hand.]
no subject
Thanks, Noel. I will.
[ And the gratitude over the connection is real.
Izana gives a bit of a hum. ]
See you around.
