[After a difficult struggle at the dominoes, Naminé managed to somehow arrive at the Cranking Up and Pressing Down section of the Hatter's Domain relatively unscathed. Right now, she's sitting at the edge of a platform, looking out over the lava.]Sora, Roxas? Everyone? I'm sorry I didn't check in with you all earlier. I've been been trying to run

[Luckily, Kate was in Hatter's Domain anyway on patrol. So when this post goes up she doesn't even bother responding, just goes to find the other girl. It takes her about two minutes to locate Namine. When she does she focuses on the Ruins first, firing exploding arrows at them. To Namine she says:] Stay back. The arrows explode.

[linkingmemories]

A-Alright!

[Naminé backs up to stand behind the woman, keeping on the watch for more that might be sneaking up on them.]

Behind you--!

[artemisaim]

[The explosions seem to be pretty effective against the Ruins, though it takes a few each to get rid of them. When Namine says that there are some behind her Kate turns, gently pushing Namine behind her again and firing at the new monsters] Thanks. Got it. As soon as they stop coming we're getting out of here, okay?

[linkingmemories]

[Naminé is so awestruck by what Kate is doing that it takes a moment for her to reply.]

Okay. I'll follow you.

{Naminé is so little. Aerith doesn't like to see anyone in trouble, but it really bothers her when children are scared.}

Are you okay?!

[She's panting, but safe for the moment.]

Yes, for now...

[radiant_flowers]

I heard about those monsters. Find a place and hide! {As if that hasn't already crossed Naminé's mind.}

[linkingmemories]

I will. Thankfully I have someone protecting me...and I'm going to be getting back to my friends as soon as possible.

Naminé? Hey, you okay? [He looked for her on Sunday when they all arrived but didn't see her. Sora had been starting to worry.]

Me and Riku are sorta staying on the train until we can find a good place to get off.

[linkingmemories]

I'm fine now, a lady saved me from the monsters. I'll ask her to take me to the train so I can meet up with you.

[A pause.]

I'm sorry I can't protect myself.

[skyofreverie]

Good, I'll meet you there. You can stay with me and Riku.

[Aw, he gives her a smile.]

Don't worry about it, that's what we're here for.

[linkingmemories]

[She returns the smile uncertainly.]

I will never be able to thank you all enough for it.

[And then a fleeting thought comes to mind.]

Sora...do you think I'm capable of learning magic?

[memorizethefire]

We're staying in the Mysterious East, I think they called it.

Want me to come get you?

[linkingmemories]

Yes, please. I don't want to bother Kate too much with escorting me since she already saved me.

[memorizethefire]

Yeah? Wanna show me where you are? I can portal out there.

[linkingmemories]

[Naminé swings the camera around. The lava was behind them, but they're still noticeably in the Hatter's Domain.]

We're at the train stop here.
