[Henry stands with the sea stretching out behind him, wearing a frown on his face. His tone of voice is sharp and his words are direct.]

Guardsmen, report in. Tell me what pieces of this splintered city surround you and who is with you on your island.

[He keeps it short. The sooner they work out who is where, the better, and this
is the quickest means of finding out.]

I'm in a watchtower. I've investigated my surroundings and I appear to be near Sorrow's temple, with the orchard and Love's bathing area. The watchtower looks over the largest body of water I have ever seen.

I'm not a strong swimmer but I can make an attempt to cross to the other islands if necessary.

You're better off staying where you are for now.

[Which is Nick for Rome, no.]

Yes sir.

[Which is... a bit of a relief, because he doesn't really want to risk drowning. This is more water than he's ever seen in his life.]

Further orders?

[Nick also doesn't want Rome drowning, hence why he replied to this as soon as he could. He doubts Henry thinks any differently.]

Just hang tight at the tower for now until we get a count on who all is where. And if you need to get to another island, we'll find you a way there. We don't want to risk folks swimming in these waters if we don't have to.

[Especially when someone is, by their own admission, 'not a strong swimmer.']

Understood.

Thank you sir.

That accounts for the remainder. It would appear that Glacius is right. The city is now spread across four islands.

Do naught foolish.

Yes sir.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

[The fact is that Henry no longer trusts Rome's judgement. So he adds in an extra precaution.]

I want you and Serah to provide a full report on the terrain of your island with a primary concern for its defence. I also want the pair of you to assess its supplies, lest these islands are cut off from each other in the future.

If trouble should occur on your island call upon Maglor for aid.

I'm there, too. We should work in shifts.

Yes, that would be ideal.

I've mostly worked with Nick, and before him, miss Maketh. I'm not sure if we've met.

No. I'm still new to this. I never met Maketh, what was she like?

She's gone now, so it doesn't matter.

[But- that doesn't feel right at all either.]

She was a good superior officer. A good handler. She was discharged from service shortly before her leaving, so it was probably for the best.

( A good handler? That's a strange way of describing someone, but Serah doesn't comment. )

I see. Were you close?

( Goddamn Serah this is one hell of a convo to broach. )

I don't know if I'm close to anyone.

But if I had to make a list, I suppose she'd be on it. I miss her.

( Oh, Rome. Honey. Do you know what you've signed yourself up for now? )

What do you mean, you don't know?

( You're gonna be Befriended, son. )

I'm not very good at social situations. It's difficult to tell exactly when someone is 'close' to me.

Kyna is my friend, though. Do you know her?
