[ Her own discomfort is probably clear, but she's doing her best to keep a reign on it for now. ]

I was in a shuttle, so there was no one else around. I've sent my Patronus out to see if I can find anyone else, though, and I have my magic.

[ She's not afraid, exactly, but she's definitely on edge. Hermione knows she's well-equipped when it comes to taking care of herself now, far better than she had been before she and Harry had decided to run off with Ron to hunt Horcruxes, but being alone is still uncomfortable. ]

I'm not planning to venture out and get captured, but there is a town nearby and people that could need help. That's where I'm going.

[For not the first time in recent memory, Ignis feels useless and unable to help someone he cares for. Only there is no Malboro to help point the way for those around him. And he hates it.]

I know that you will go to help them, but please take care of yourself while down there. Someone on the surface certainly doesn't mind harming us.

[She'd better be ready for him to check her over for injury when they're together again.]

[ They'll get back together again, Hermione is sure of it, but until that point... She feels a little shattered, wishing she could be at his side. She's capable alone, of course she is, but there's a comfort to be found in being near someone she cares about. ]

I'll make sure I'm okay, Ignis, try not to worry too much. [ But, ah, she hesitates a little. ] I... I'd like to come and find you, as soon as I can, if that's alright.

[AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He isn't promising anything about when she gets back because he has no clue how he's going to react.]

I cannot say that I won't worry, but I won't let it stop me from doing what I must. When it's possible, Prompto and I will be heading to the planet's surface.

[He grimaces and it probably shows in his voice's tone.]

Lady Lunafreya and Noctis are down there as well. Might I ask you to keep an eye out for them while we're all separated?

[ Hermione isn't sure either; it's not the first time she's been away from someone she cares about and in danger, but it never gets easier - especially when she and Ignis still haven't quite figured out what they're doing. ]

It's not dangerous if you're in a group. There are hunters here, and people are trying to protect themselves. It just doesn't always work.

[ Sighing, Hermione shifts, leaning against a tree. ]

I'll see what I can do. If I can find them then I'll make sure that they're okay. Promise.

[He is, for all that he trusts the people he cares about, a natural worrier. Especially when there's nothing he can do to assist. There's a reason he doesn't know what happened between Gladiolus and Gilgamesh still.]

Focus on yourself right now, Hermione. I am safe.

[If not highly irritated.]

I would appreciate that a great deal, but I have a feeling they are together so they will at least have the benefit of numbers.

They'll take care of each other. I believe in them.

[ Do not say the Gilgamesh word. ]

You telling me you're safe won't stop me from worrying about you until I see you. Sorry.

Yes, they will. And while it is my job to worry about them, I believe that between the two of them, it's our attackers that have the most to worry about.

[Noctis can be a downright dashing hero type when it comes to his bride.

Also, different Gilgamesh. Still a bastard though.]

Then I hope you will allow me the same courtesy, though there's more to worry about on the planet now that the natives have stopped shooting at the ships from the surface.

I'm sure we shouldn't worry too much, then.

[ She's still going to look out for them, though, and she breathes out a soft noise as she listens to Ignis. ]

I heard that people were gathering at the communication tower, so I might try and make my way there. I can always travel as a lion, so I won't be in as much danger.

Shouldn't and will are two different things.

[Ignis is still glad that Hermione is there to look after his king and queen when he is unable, when Gladio is not there.]

Woman or lion, there is danger on that planet for everyone.

[His hands are balled up into fists, empty and useless. He hasn't felt this much frustration since he first fell blind.]

You don't have to tell me twice.

[ At least someone's around, and that makes the worry ease the smallest amount. ]

And I'll take care of myself. I promise. If I need anything you'll be the first to know.

I know that you're capable enough to take care of yourself.

[And he trusts that she won't do anything too rash.]

I will hold you to that, Hermione.

[ So some rashness is expected. Got it. ]

I'll find you. As soon as I can.

[He isn't her keeper. And he can't stop her, even if he wanted. He'll just be there to help her later.]

Not if I find you first.

[Not even Ardyn could stop him from looking for her when he's able.]

[ It makes her laugh, and she hums quietly. ]

It's a race, then. It won't be long.

[Her laugh is a balm of sorts, though it doesn't lessen his desire to keep her safe himself. Curse this entire bloody system.]

Hermione. Promise me one thing. That you will contact me at least once every few hours. Even if it is a text. The communicator will translate it.

[ Oh... It warms her heart, and she breathes out a soft noise. ]

I promise. Every three hours, okay?

[What did she think he was going to ask? He's bolder now, but hardly that bold.]

Every three hours. I still have to check on the others, but I...wanted to make sure you were okay.

[First. He wanted to make sure she was safe first.]

I'd have done the same thing. [ She was too busy rushing around and had barely noticed the comms were back on. ] I'll speak to you soon, Ignis.

ic contact.

That's what I'd assumed! C:
