[ she stops, faces her, and seems to glance away, uncertain of how her appearance will be received. in addition to her usual shadowy appearance, there appears to be smoke rising from the top of her head. ]
... There are a lot of unpleasant aspects to consider.
[oh. baby. well she won't say it isn't a surprise that there is a lack of a face and the smoke wafting off of here, but like...one of her close friends is a weird lion-dog creature. people like karlach and laudna are running around. it's strange, but she doesn't seem to think it's anything to shy away from.]
The cult was a surprise. [mildly.] Looks like we're going to be here for a little longer than we expected.
The more we learn about the ritual, the sooner we can stop it and get back, at least. [is that going to be easy? no. is that going to stop her from thinking it's possible? no. but she's had similar enough conversations with enough people here that she pauses momentarily before she decides to ask.]
Were you pulled away in the middle of something important, too?
All nobles of the Shadows family are assigned a personal attendant, to clean our rooms and tend to our needs. In social situations, they even serve as our Faces. As such, we're almost never apart from one another.
Which would mean it could have been easy for them to take you from her. [frowny.] ...if that's how it happened, then we just have to work harder to find a way back. She must be worried about you.
Maybe that's a good thing until we find our way out of here. As long as there's no cause for them to worry right away, we can get you back as soon as possible. [she says this, but she's still not sure kate wants to go back. if anything, she sort of wonders if she'd go back just for her attendant though.]
Yeah. [yeah. it's not great! but she thinks of how much she wants to say on this.] There's someone we have to stop before he destroys everything. We were following after him before we found ourselves here.
[and the way she says it indicates that she doesn't mind elaborating a little, but more importantly:] I don't think it's selfish to be worried about your own world and the people you know. It feels silly to compare how big our worries are when they're important regardless.

If I don't return quickly, everything I've worked for will be lost.
What about you?

If we don't get back, our planet going to be in even more danger. Our friends are there, but we can't leave them alone for long.
[well. cloud and yuffie can't. but aerith's not going to talk about what she's doing because that's a whole other thing.]

If I was taken in my sleep, perhaps I was alone then... but ordinarily, I would never be away from my attendant.

What's the last thing that you remember? Were you and Emilico together? [she mentioned it might be possible if she were asleep, but.]
