[Video/Action]
[Upon arrival, Natalia listened very carefully to the holographic message. The delivery was fascinating, even if the information conveyed was...troubling, to put it lightly. But to panic would be unbecoming her station. There was more she needed to know. As such, she followed the instructions given and visited the Schnee Company's Genessia division. There she sat calmly and politely, asking her questions, and receiving her answers. It did much to put her fears to rest, particularly once she knew that time would not pass until she returned. The expedition to the Absorption Gate would not be stalled on account of her disappearance.]
[That meant her next step was to get herself settled. It was very strange to think about integrating herself as one of this small world's citizens and living as one of them. But if that was the way things were done, she had little choice but to do them. She still needed money to eat, after all, and her gald was simply no good here.]
[So, after placing a request for job suggestions at the employment office, she finally feels secure enough to make her first video transmission.]
[And there she is, her bearing as regal as it ever was, her manner of speech refined and stately.]
Greetings. My name is Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. I have just arrived in this world, and I look forward to making your acquaintance.
[The young woman inclines her head.]
As one of the citizens of this world, for the time being I am inclined to offer my assistance, both to the cities in general as well as to you, the inhabitants, until the powers that be see fit to return me to my world of Auldrant. Should there be any urgent matters, please, I beg you to alert me at once. I am a master of Lanvaldear-style archery, and you'll find that I'm quite adept at healing Artes as well.
[She's still wearing her quiver, even though she's seated calmly on the edge of her bed within the Commonsroom she was assigned.]
I also have extensive experience organizing and assisting with public works projects. You will not find me content to sit idly by awaiting dismissal.
Should you have any questions, please make them known. Farewell.
[Natalia hesitates for a moment as she furrows her brow, seeking the switch that ends the feed. Once the transmission is ended, she draws a deep breath and releases it slowly. Strangely enough, she doesn't feel frightened or particularly shaken. But perhaps, she's willing to concede, she may be in a state of shock and disbelief.]
[That seems unlikely, though.]
[Picking up her bow and slinging it over her shoulders, the princess departs her quarters and moves into the snowy streets. Given that her last location was the northern and frigid city of Keterburg, at least there's no great change in temperature or weather. She meant what she said about not wishing to sit about; the best way to acclimate herself to this world is to explore it and meet others face to face. And that is exactly what she sets out to do.]

despite the fact he was getting more comfortable being here, a new life for however long this lasted until his family needed him back home, the blond was gonna have to take some getting used to the kindness he received. sooner or later he was going to have to pay it all back in spades. pay it forward, as it were.
Natalia's offer grants him pause, and if it weren't for how straightforward she was, he might have refused.
that or her charisma. which made it hard to say no.he deliberates for a moment until finally, with a small huff as his breath is visible upon the faintly chill air, he extends a hand with one of his bags of groceries. the lighter one. it wasn't that far from here from the Stone Ridge apartments.]Thanks. [his expression softens; something told him that even if he refused that she'd have insisted. that and it was hard to pull off a "not interested" these days when he was surrounded by good natured people. the bow and quiver of arrows upon her back have the blond curious, but he doesn't say anything yet as he hadn't caught her message over the network yet.] I'm Cloud.
Can't say I've seen you around here before.
[Action]
No, I've only just arrived. My name is Natalia. A pleasure.
[While she has no reason to hide her royal title, there's also no reason to flaunt it. Besides, there would surely be some mistaken understanding that she expected obedience and better treatment, and really, she would much rather not.]
Do you live here formally, or were you brought here in the same fashion as I?
[Action]
[had she revealed her royal stature, Cloud would have respected it as well as he could have for someone not used to someone like her. royalty wasn't exactly common back home. though he supposed Yuffie technically counted... technically]
No, I woke up here a couple months ago. [it was a little jarring for him at first, stubborn as he was in his attempts to find a way back home. as they start walking again, his blond gaze turns to her]
Turns out it's easier to fit in here than it looks.
[Action]
[She inclines her head, careful to use both arms to keep a secure hold on the grocery bag.]
The brochures indicated that the differences between its citizens is far more stark outside of the central city. As it stands, why, you could easily pass for someone of my world!
[But now that she's had a moment to better study his face...]
...Or perhaps not. Your eyes have a glow I've never seen before. Is that common for your kind?
[Action]
... I could? [the remark about him passing as a citizen from her world surprises him. her attire is a lot more...was extravagant the right word? probably not, but she certainly would have stood out among the crowd of folk who usually resided in Edge. perhaps in the upper echelon of Midgar's finest when it used to exist, but...]
My eyes? [ah, while it's not a touchy subject (he's been asked before by the likes of Robin), Cloud knew that would come up eventually. SOLDIER or anything like it must have been unique to his planet after all] Not really. Only people who get exposed to a certain kind of energy have it.
[he's not lying. just maybe not telling the whole truth]
People who join SOLDIER have this done to them.
