34th Crystal: [Voice/Action]

[Golbez fusses with his journal, muttering a little to himself as he does so. He doesn't seem to actually be addressing anyone yet.] Nnnn... dieing is a singularly unpleasant experience. My head pounds.

Where is that... ah, there we are.

[Filtered to FF IV Cast + Selphie]

Cecil. Ceodore. Selphie. Valvalis. Rydia. Kain. I have returned. Are you all alright?

[His need for the journals dealt with, Golbez returns to hobbling back to the village through the forest where he was dropped off. He tries to walk straight and tall, but every so often he'll slip up as the leftover impact of his revival hits him.

More than anything, though, the biggest change apparent is the lack of his omnipresent armor.]

Hnnnn... I hope I'll have similar luck with my own armor, but I don't hold too much faith in that.

I think seeing you without it is nice enough, for a change.

[Memories from home and and all of that.]

You're not the first person to say that to me. But I don't... well, I have reasons to keep to my armor. Still, if I no longer have the option, perhaps I'd best get used to it.

Your muscles will thank you for that, considering the apparent weight of it.

Where do you think I got these? [He flexes an arm with a grin.]

[He returns that grin with one of his own.]

And here I was, thinking you were using Cagnazzo as a training weight.

You should tell that one to Valvalis. She'd be highly amused.

Speaking of which... do you know how she took the news?

...I'm not certain. Ceodore was tho only one of us in perfect health, so he took care of the announcement. He'd be the one to know.

I see. [He sighs.] He must have been very upset.

He was. You dead, Selphie still weak, the rest of us wounded... It was a little in very little time.

[Especially after that experiment.]

Hopefully my return will bolster his spirits a little.

It will. He'll be glad to see you walking amongst us once more.

Such as it is. [He hobbles another step and shakes his head.] Feh, I feel as if I've been drugged.

That's worrying. Wait a moment.

[First Cura, then Esuna, then Nala's magic. Hopefully either of those will help.]

[He perks up a bit at the Cura, and Nala's magic makes him straighten the rest of the way.]

Ahhh, that's much better. Thank you Cecil.

You're welcome. I'm glad I could do that much, at least.

[Even if his magic is not quite the best.]

That last was Nala's power, wasn't it? How are you getting on with the spirits?

I've been learning much from them. I've mostly strengthened my healing abilities with Nala's help, but I've also been in contact with Hyt for a few weeks now.

Excellent. I'm sure you'll find many uses for the powers they can grant you.

I can already think of a few, though I'll need more practice.

Well, you should have plenty of time for that now. Unless the Malnosso choose to strike us while we're down.

Would they be more likely to do so now, or to wait until the New Feathers arrive?

Depending on the New Feathers, they might not need to.

[Now would be a perfect time for Zemus to show up...]

...I can also think of a few people we'd be better off not seeing.

Yes... but I suppose we're better off not assuming anything.
