[There a bunch of grumbling as a figure darts around, their figure hidden by a large cloak. The figure stops and looks at the screen, annoyed.]

Look, I don’t know who you are and how you can do... this. [The figure gestures with their arms, both voice and figure revealing them to be female] But, I’m in no mood to deal with this. Leave me alone right now, okay?

[No screens are shutting down.]

Did you hear me? Go away! Leave me alone!

Hehe, I didn't even tell you my full name and you got it right: Suguha!

(She nods reassuringly.) It's okay. It's hard to get along with others in this place, isn't it?

[stayed_solo]

It... it really is.

Are you stuck here, too?

[speed_holic]

I am...but we'll get out together! I promise. You're not gonna die here.

[stayed_solo]

No... no, I don’t want to! I...!

Are you nearby?

[speed_holic]

Ehh?! You don't?

Yeah, I think so. Let's see...

(Suguha turns on the map and has it pinpoint her location before sending it to Asuna.) Okay! There I am, so triangulate our positions together.

[stayed_solo]

Ah, let’s see...

[She does a bit of calculating before]

Outside, it looks like. Same floor.

[speed_holic]

Awesome! I'll see you in a few?

(If she needed to help Asuna, she would.)

[stayed_solo]

Mmn! I’ll be there.

[It’ll take Asuna a bit, but she’ll finally make her way to where Suguha is.]

Leafa? You here?

[speed_holic]

(Suguha soon appeared next to Asuna, waving and motioning behind her; if she recognized the creature that was now vanishing, it could be the one who had been targeting them both.)

Right here! And I said it was okay for you to call me Sugh.

[stayed_solo]

Oh, sorry! I just...

[She laughs sheepishly at that]

[speed_holic]

Hehe, it's okay. I'm just glad you're safe...?

(Sugu cocked her head a bit, as Asuna hadn't yet introduced herself.)

[stayed_solo]

Asuna. Sorry, I didn’t tell you who I was, did I?

[speed_holic]

Nope. But that's a really pretty name, Asuna!

[stayed_solo]

I’m sorry about that, I—

[And the compliment causes her to blush]

R-really?

[speed_holic]

Mm! It is...really.

(Sugu smiles a bit wider at seeing Asuna's blush, leaning in close to look at her and admire her.)

You're really pretty, too.

[stayed_solo]

Ah, I’m... heh, thanks Sugu. You... are too.

[speed_holic]

...Thanks, Asuna.

(Sugu blushes herself, not quite pulling away from Asuna. Her smile is still evident.)

[stayed_solo]

[And Asuna notices this.]

... thanks for finding me...

[And she lays a hand on her head.]

[speed_holic]

(Sugu's blush increases slightly at the contact.)

...Anytime...

[stayed_solo]

[Asuna giggles at that.]

How about we go somewhere a little more safer, hm?

[speed_holic]

Sure! There's a place not too far from here I was gonna double back to. No one's there right now.
