Zidane hammers on the stone.
Zidane: Dammit!!! That idiot!
He kneels.
(Zidane): Blank...
Camp site
Vivi: I hope she gets well soon...
Zidane inspects the tent, and yawns.
Steiner: This is all his fault!
Steiner: Have you nothing to say, you filth!?
Garnet: ...Oh...
She comes to.
Steiner: P-Princess!!!
Garnet: ...Steiner?
Garnet: ...How did I survive...? You brought me here?
Vivi fetches Zidane.
Steiner: It is my sworn duty to protect you at any cost.
Zidane: What are you talking about? It was Vivi's magic and my dagger that got you out of there, Princess.
Garnet: I thank you both.
Steiner: That monkey deserves no praise!
Steiner (to Zidane): None of this would've happened if you and your band hadn't abducted the princess!
Steiner: And how dare you claim that you have rescued her!?
Steiner: When we get back to Alexandria, I will-
(Garnet): Steiner...
Garnet: I left the castle of my own will.
Zidane: What a coincidence, eh? We went to snatch her, and she wanted to be snatched.
Steiner: Impossible!
Garnet: It's true.
Zidane: So what do you say, Rusty? Friends? Come on, let's just enjoy this camping trip while it lasts.
Steiner: Camping-you imbecile! Surely even you must know something about the Mist.
Steiner: The vicious monsters it spawns! The abnormalities it stirs in the mind and body!
Steiner: Princess, we must leave this dangerous place at once.
Zidane: You've gotta be kidding.
Zidane: She hasn't even fully recovered yet.
Steiner: Silence! Who asked for your opinion!?
Zidane: Alright, tell me... How do you plan to get out of here?
Zidane: We're standing in a valley surrounded by tall cliffs.
Zidane: And last I heard, North Gate and South Gate were sealed off.
(Steiner): .........
Zidane: Yeah. That's what I thought.
(Steiner): Grrrrr...
Zidane: The princess can barely walk right now. You went through this. You should know.
Zidane: I think we should rest here for now.
Steiner: I will never follow your-
Zidane: Steiner!!!
Zidane: State your sworn duty!
Steiner (salutes): What else!? To protect Princess Garnet Til Alexandros!
Steiner: ...Very well.
Steiner: Until the princess recovers, I will guard this place with my life.
Zidane: Sounds good to me.
Zidane: Vivi, let's get some rest.
Steiner stands guard as Zidane and Vivi join Garnet by the fire. One by one, they look up at the stars.
Petrified entrance to the forest
Garnet approaches Zidane.
Zidane: How are you feeling?
Garnet: Good...thanks to that medicine you gave me.
Garnet: Could this be...?
Zidane: Yeah, I was surprised, too. After we beat that big plant-guy, the forest got completely petrified.
Garnet: Vivi told me that we were able to escape because of your friend.
Zidane: ...His name is Blank.
Garnet: We must go help him.
Zidane: We can't do anything for him right now.
Garnet: But...I can't-
Zidane: We'll come back for him. I'm sure there's a way to cure him.
Zidane: Let's get going.
Zidane: According to the map that Blank gave me, there's a cavern to the south of us.
Zidane: Maybe we can get above the Mist through that cavern.
Garnet bows her head.
Zidane: Are you alright?
She nods.
Zidane: Everything's gonna be fine. Trust me.

Vivi: Look! There's something coming!
It's a moogle. It lands.
Monty: Wait! Kupo!
Monty: I'm impressed, kupo! First time I've seen anyone escape from Evil Forest.
Monty: You all must be strong, kupo!
Monty: But don't get cocky, kupo. Lots of stronger monsters ahead.
Monty: Before you go out to the world, Mogster will teach you a few things.
ATE: Teach me, Mogster! 1
Campsite
Monty: I have a gift for you, kupo. Take this flute.
<Moogle's Flute>
Monty: With this flute, you can call us anywhere in the world, kupo.
Monty: Press [SQUARE] to play it.
Monty: Happy trails! Kupo!
(Garnet): Thank you.
(Monty) (poings): Kupopo!
Garnet and Zidane start to leave.
(Vivi): Bye.
Zidane whaps Steiner into action.
(Monty): Kupoo!
Steiner: !!!
Steiner: What the...
Steiner: Who goes there!?
Monty: Your friends already left, kupo.
Steiner: Princess, wait!
