[Gels certainly wouldn't have done the trick...

She's surprised to hear that, trying to think if anything was different about him--he'd been serious, but she thought that was just normal under the circumstances. It's hard to remember, though, when she was so caught up in thinking about Euphie and Eagle.

So, ignoring the part about the warning for now-]

You--wait, what kind of curse was it?

[ Tyr would have had a little trouble truly forgiving Eagle if there was no way Rita could have been saved.

He doesn't have an issue answering her question. In the end, it was more of a revealing curse than a bad one... ]

It was like the one where Yuri and I thought we were from the future within the City... But instead of staying here, Riou and I thought we went home and returned here after...I guess about fifty years or so...

[A bad situation...They're lucky that wasn't the case.

There's a slight feeling of relief when she hears that. The last curse Tyr mentions reminds her that a lot can change in a few years--let alone fifty--but Rita still thinks that's a mild curse in comparison.

At the same time, though, she feels like she should have noticed a change if it was that long.] Fifty years?

...I...didn't notice. There was a lot going on, but...Sorry.

It's fine... Maybe I didn't really change that much in the end... [ Even though he knows that he did. It just didn't affect the way he fought and worked with her. In that way, it was easily overlooked next to Eagle and Euphie's situation. ]

[It seemed normal enough to her at the time that she didn't notice, so maybe he's right, but...As long as nothing bad happened to Tyr, that's okay, right?]

So everything was okay with you?

[ It's not like he was a hermit with Riou and they could never settle down for more than a month, right? Even with Riou, it was a pretty lonely life to Tyr. ]

More or less... I had Riou, so... It wasn't as bad as I thought the future would be...

[One person is better than none, but...Rita wouldn't want him to have a lonely life.]

What do you mean, not as bad? [He mentioned having Riou with him, so-] You didn't think that...you wouldn't have anyone, did you?

[ There's a quiet sigh on his end. After leaving Gregminster, after losing Gremio again... He doesn't want to think about it. The best answer he can give her is: ]

It's the way life is...

[That might as well be a yes, she thinks.]

No. [Her voice is quiet, but firm. She wasn't too worried about the curse before, but she's more concerned now with him talking like that.] That's not how anything should be.

[ There's a difference between "should be" and "is", but at the moment, he won't argue with her. It's only because she's Rita that he'll talk about this in the first place. ]

I don't want it to be like that, but... [ If he knew the words to say, he would be okay telling her. All he can think of is that she'll never have to be lonely, but that's not really the point. ]

[She knows there is, but she wants it to be different. If only they didn't have to leave to separate worlds, she believes she could something.

But...] I don't want you to be like that, either. [There's just no way she knows how to fix it.]

Rita... [ The fact she did something in the City proves to him things would be different. If they were face to face right now, Tyr isn't sure what he'd do. He hates that now he's making her sad. ]

I'm not. As long as I'm here, everything should be fine... Because of you. [ He adds the last part partially to make her feel better and largely because he'll never stop being grateful towards her. ]

Huh? [He does throw her off a bit, and she blushes slightly, but she's kind of glad, too. Thinking about the rest of his statement, though, she still wants it to be better for him when he does--eventually--return home.] I...I'm just glad it works. [The blastia, that is. Since it seems to be working.]

[...She actually hates talking about this with just voice, so she switches to video, her cheeks a bit pink but her expression soft.]

[ Tyr definitely doesn't mind seeing her face again. He smiles a little at her - he's actually hanging out at the beach now if the background is any indication, but his fishing gear isn't visible.

At the moment, the blastia works on his faith that it does; there's no way of actually knowing if it does without someone actually dying... ] I don't have any doubts about it...

[She's surprised to see he's at the beach--maybe he's not far.

Relieved to see him and hear his response, she manages a bit more of a smile in return.] ...Thanks.

Hey...Are you near the house?

... Relatively. [ He's not that close, but he's neither on the other side of the island or in the city proper. She might be able to hear his line being reeled in as he speaks. ] I'll come closer and we can meet halfway.

[She hears the reel--figures that's what he'd be doing out there--but more importantly, they're going to meet up. "Relatively" close normally wouldn't be specific enough for her, but she doesn't really care this time.] Yeah. Okay. I'll be there soon.

[And she gets up from where she's sitting--predictably, in a pile of books and papers.]

[ Just where he thought she would be even if he wasn't too focused on the sound of her writing earlier. He's happy that they'll see each other again - maybe because she usually cheers him up - and he fumbles around to get everything together to see her. ]

I'm on the western side of the house when you get out, so look out for me. [ Since, really, how could she tell one piece of beach from another? ]

[And since she definitely can't tell a few patches of sand apart from each other, she nods at the directions.] Thanks. Don't be late, okay? [As if there's a set time.

And she stuffs some of her working materials haphazardly into a bag before she starts moving for the door.]

I'll be there when you are.

[ He understands what she means anyway. If she's watching him, she can see he's already packed up and carrying his rod over his shoulder like a staff.

And maybe he's walking quickly just because she seems to be moving fast. It's only about a block's worth of distance between him and the house anyway. ]

It's not a meeting if both of us aren't there.

[Her mind's not really on bantering, though, just thinking about heading out and across the sand to get there. She's not exactly running, but she's definitely not taking her time.]

You're right... It wouldn't be much of a meeting.

[ It's almost like they're not really just worried about the approaching month and everything that comes with it when they're rushing to see each other like this. He's not carrying much - just his fishing rod and a bucket with a small tackle box inside - so it's not hard for him to walk as quickly as he can even before he sees her.

He waves out to her, not bothering to call out. There's no-one else on the beach now but them. ]

[Rita's still worried, so that's why she's so eager to meet up...right? So they can see each other properly and make sure everything's okay for now, even if nothing was wrong on the video...

When she spots him across the sand, she dashes over, coming to a stop when they're a few feet apart.] Hey.

[Rita offers a smile, no injury or tiredness present now. It's better than their last meeting on the weekend.]

[ He's glad not to see any sign of injury on her; he was a little worried there would be a horrible scar across her (or maybe he just can't see it), but since she appears well overall... It's easy to return the smile back at her. ]

Hey... [ He looks her over anyway when they stop anyway even though they should both look fine. ] You didn't take long.

Same goes for you. [Having Tyr right there with a healing spell right away certainly helped--not to mention having Estelle at home. She had to rest for a day or so, but she's back to normal now.

She does notice Tyr looking her over, though, so she reassures him.] You don't have to worry. I'm fine, okay? [Even if maybe she also glanced over Tyr, just because.]
