Can I take Serah home and come back to talk to you?

Sure.

So the angel Isabella scoops up Serah and takes a running start and flies her up the mountain.

They try again to detect magic, and do not get any. "It's weird to see a you with loose hair."

"I had my hair down when you first met me."

"That was a really long time ago though and I didn't know you so it wasn't like seeing someone I knew hairloose."

"I'm sure she'll braid it if I explain."

"Maybe she'll know where the spaceships are."

"Maybe!"

"Or maybe she needs rescuing from her god too!"

"She didn't look stressed out but it's possible."

"Did you look stressed all the time in Materia?"

"Well, I would have if someone who looked like me had stopped me in the street and said they were an alternate universe version of me."

"Because it was probably someone evil?"

"Even if it wasn't I don't think a me who wasn't used to the place would do very well there."

"Ambela might go try explaining to the gods how to not suck!"

"Exactly!"

And they wait for new Bella to return.

She reappears presently. So - Mariel?

My middle name, my first is also Isabella but I go by Bella. Can you talk aloud while you send to me so Fëanáro can work on your language some more?

"Um, all right."

"I like languages. I learn them -" fast? - "We landed today and I am making sentences that are usually right mostly. In a few more days the sentences will be right entirely."

"...'Entirely right', and 'usually mostly right'," she says. "But that's very fast."

"I'm an Elf. We love languages. We make ours beautiful like art and we find all the other ones beautiful like - mountains and oceans - is beautiful."

"Are beautiful, not is beautiful. - Bella, you're not an Elf, are you -"
