[ Despite being tent-mates, chances are with all that's going on the two haven't had a chance to actually see each other. Which means, the next quiet moment Lucina gets — ]
[ She hasn't really been back to the tent either. She'd stayed there at the start, having wanted to take some time to herself. That was when all the fighting started, mind you, she's been caught between fighting for her life and helping with the medical groups to keep going. ]
Good day, Lucina. [ She sounds upbeat despite actually feeling exhausted and mentally drained, but that's the joy of audio. ] I am quite alright. How have you been?
[ The true joys of audio — Lucina's keeping her voice perfectly neutral, and while she's exhausted... well, appearances, without actual appearances, are easy enough to keep up. ]
I'm relieved to hear that. [ Really; her voice grows a tone or two warmer. ] Have you been staying around the town?
I'm alright. The last few days grew hectic — [ And dangerous. ] so I wanted to check in.
[ It is, because despite being healed for more serious injuries, there are still a few cuts and bruises hidden under clothes that she's pretending don't exist. Less for people to worry over and all that. ]
I have. I did return to the tent but everything has been rather... difficult to navigate.
The town? or ... the area as a whole? [ Hopefully she means the former rather than the latter. The thought of someone going out of the town without a weapon is... unsettling, to put it lightly. ]
The town, I have been working with others to protect it whenever anyone comes in. I also have been helping those who were injured. My knowledge of medicine is not like a girl I met earlier, but it helps a little.
[ Besides, Lance gave her a gun and even if the bullets are hella limited, it's better than nothing. ]
I am alright, please do not worry about me. What about you? You have been away a while, have you not?
A girl — who did you meet? [ She's curious — she knows her mother has become a rather powerful healer, so maybe Olivia?
Regardless ... ] I'm glad to hear it, regardless.
[ She'll always worry, mostly because it's something ingrained in her. Just like how she's learned to deflect any worry. ] I have been out of town, yes. [ She won't... talk about her attempt at finding Miz Poppy. Not here. ] The rampaging sand worms put many of the workers in danger, so I've been aiding the rescue efforts.
She said her name was "Aqua". Do you know her? [ Sadly not Lucina's mama... maybe that meeting will happen some other time. Either way, it was a good thing she'd visited her as her hands were splintered at the time. ]
Oh— [ Not quite the first person she had in mind, but — ] I've met her, yes. She's a formidable ally.
[ Considering she met Aqua when they were trying to rescue miners from the sandworm's rampage, anyway. ] To the best of my abilities. [ ... A moment passes, and with a much, much lighter tone: ] It will take more than this to stop me.
Ah— It's... easier, now, that many of the miners safe. [ But there's still the Deemers, the bandits, the sandworms. ] But the work is far from over, unfortunately.
I should let you rest, while we have the chance. [ They'll have other chances to talk. ]

She was very kind.
[ Aqua healed her hand and they shared rations, anyway. Which is always a nice way to make a new friendship(?) ]
But I am glad to hear that. Is it still difficult out there?

I am glad to hear that. There are still problems, of course, but I am sure things will improve if we keep helping one another.
But I also hope you will get some rest as well. I shall speak to you later, Lucina.

Of course — I'm sure we'll have another chance to speak again, Sonia. Take care of yourself. [ Click!! ]
