Soooo....

I know it's been a few months now and there's some really weird things going on in the city lately. But with all these people coming in, I'm kind of in a bind. See, I'm looking for some friends of mine that I got seperated from back home.

[She thought she'd be just fine trying to search for them alone, but... turns out it's not exactly that easy. Eiko wants to think she can handle these things herself, but. Maybe it really wouldn't be a bad idea to just ask.]

Their names are Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Amarant... and, um... [What was that weird person's name again? The one who talks about eating?] Quina too, I think?

Anyway, let's just get to the point: I wanna know if anyone's seen Zidane! He's got blonde hair, has a tail, and he's super handsome and dreamy too! And he saved my life too... [She maaaaay be sounding a little bit excited here as she goes on, a small giggle escaping.] Okay, okay, I'll stop! The point is, if you see him, you better tell me right now or else! [Like right now. Eiko's not taking any late notices here.]

Aaaand if you see anyone else by the names I just mentioned, tell me! [It'd probably help if she gave descriptions of them too but... Eh. Witness Eiko's priorities, laid out for all to see.] They're my friends and it's really, really, like really important I find them, okay? So if you see them, you guys better let me know!

[Interesting... so is this girl from the future? The fact that she's met Dagger but hasn't met Steiner or the dragon knight paints a strange picture. The girl's curiosity doesn't allow her to continue her thoughts, however.]

I suppose we must come from different lands, then; I've not heard of Madain Sari either. [Then does that mean she comes from a different continent? How did Zidane and the others reach it?

She pauses for a few moments, drifting into thought, before she realizes what she's doing and shakes her head at herself. No, come on Freya, don't get too carried away.]

... My apologies; I suppose this is a lot to take in. But I have known Zidane a while. I cannot say I have spent a great amount of time with him, however; no more than a few weeks, to be honest.

[Only four days had passed since she met Zidane recently in Lindblum. To think that so much happened in such a short period of time... Ah, but she's getting ahead of herself again.]

You haven't? ...Really? "Village of Summoners"? Ring any bells?

[Then again, she hasn't heard of any of those places Freya mentioned either. And Zidane did mention something about being from another continent.]

... Well, I guess it wouldn't. Especially not now. [She sighs. ... Wait, scratch that thought, there's more pressing matters at hand!]

--Wait, forget that, you're saying no more than a few weeks? That's not a long time at all! [... Just what kind of man is Zidane anyway??]

[She shakes her head no.] I'm afraid not.

I suppose it isn't, but I trust him as a close friend and a comrade nonetheless.

[She smiles slightly, not quite able to tell what Eiko's getting at.]

What about you, Eiko? How long have you known Zidane?

Only a few days.

[... Which isn't much better, but hey. She's making her moves. Or was, at least until she ended up in Saeng Seong.]

And we're close friends too! He even said so himself. [So there.] I helped him out with a few things, and now I'm traveling with him and everyone too. ... Well, I was anyway before I ended up here.

I see. [Eiko seems eager to impress and make new friends, and Freya certainly can't blame her. It's only natural for someone her age.]

What sorts of things were you helping him with? It sounds as if I have missed a few interesting stories.

Well, y'know, important summoner things. I guess Zidane's home had a problem with all that Mist back on his continent?

[Like really, important summoner things! There's a definite grin, like she's feeling proud. And she's honestly never seen Zidane's home, so she really wouldn't know what it's like there but she had to be of some help, right?]

… I dunno, I've never really seen it for myself. But anyway, we just went to the source of it and cleared it all out. So, thanks to my help, Zidane's continent is like all Mist-free now. [Or it should be anyway, if Zidane's assumptions are correct.]

[She's about to ask about summoner things when--

Her mouth gapes open slightly.]

The Mist... is gone?

[That was possible? Zidane and the others somehow found the source of it and... got rid of it? There are so many things that would result from that she doesn't know how else to respond.]

Yup.

[She says that matter-of-factly, as if it's the most basic task in the world. Unfortunately for Freya, Eiko doesn't quite realize the possible consequences of the Mist disappearing from the continent Zidane and co. are from.]

So now the Mist is all gone. [Beat.] ... That's a good thing, right?

I... suppose so.

[It's a long, loooong story.]

The Mist has been present on our continent for a thousand years... I simply cannot imagine what will happen now.
