[Somehow, the appearance of the former Hydro Archon had utterly escaped his notice. One would think that he would have realised, even with the short time her presence could have been noticed, but he had been so absorbed in the tasks occupying him that it had simply... slipped by him.
So, when he hears that voice paired with that name his first instinct is to momentarily freeze up. Of course, though, he does not keep her waiting.]
Furina... yes, I am here.
[He shares her feelings about talking into these devices but his voice comes through to her quite clearly.]
[A crushing wave of relief hits her upon hearing the familiar voice. She'd been glad to run into a fellow Fontanian first thing upon arriving here, with Wriothesley! She simply hadn't known him as long, and coupled with her complicated feelings there's a much simpler and easier to parse form of comfort that comes from this.
No offense, to the man standing nearby. Sincerely.]
Oh, no, no. I'm fine, really!
[She tries to expunge the uncertainty from earlier from her voice in favor of a lighter tone. Keep it together, Furina!]

[Wriothesley would make sure she didn't come to any harm, he's sure of that. It's a relief to know she's safe.
Not that Neuvillette fails to notice the tone of her voice. He knows her well enough to read that much.]
Have you been able to look around?
