"I should like to save the Shire, if I could - though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. But I don't feel like that now. I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."

"I see no hope of it now. But I've got to do the best I can."

“Ah, um, excuse me..” A very soft  voice came from behind. Dressed in white and purple, a slender-looking woman lifted a mismatched gaze with a polite, if not guarded smile. Whatever emotions she might have felt were sealed  tight behind that smile. 

“I was wondering if you possibly knew where this was. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself — my name is Yuna, and it’s a pleasure to meet you. “ Quickly, staff pressed firm between both hands, she lowered herself into a bow, hair ornament tinkling with the movement. 

For all her ability to speak before crowds, Summoner Yuna was fairly shy and hid behind her policy of perpetual courteousness. 

“It’s just..I know this isn’t home, and home is well, where I absolutely must be, right now, do you understand? A place like that..? Home, that is. Having an important thing you must do…something I must do and I really can’t..”

Her eyes lowered.

“Afford to be lost. Could I ask you for your help? I don’t know how to repay you but I’ll do whatever I can.” A mismatched pair of blue and green lifted to the other person once again, this time with a more sincere, earnest smile. 

“I promise.“ 

What I need here..will take more than just whistling, won’t it?
