It is not rare for you to sneak onto this ship.

Obviously, you have to not overdo it-- even though you're quite confident in your skills in infiltrating undetected, there are enough powerhouses onboard that it would be more of a pickle than you would want to deal with if you were caught by any of them. So, you are careful with your visits, and know to just immediately hit the important places to gather intel, and then leave.

That is usually how it goes.

This time, though, you take a detour. There's a familiar voice down the halls, loud and panicked, and know without even having to see it what is happening. Ah, there she goes again, being naughty. You know that, objectively, Rhodes Island is the best place for her, but there's a pit of concern that forms in your stomach.

You follow her voice.

When you see Ifrit, she's burning. Her flames rages dangerously, scorching the walls of the hall. It's worrisome that no one is around, because you'd think the response time here would be faster than this. Then again, it's good that no one else is here, because Ifrit's fire would likely just kill them when she's in this state. The young girl screams, clutching her head as she slowly walks down the hall, her expression one of great distress. Metal that she brushes past start to melt.

"No," she murmurs, "Sari... save them..."

Well. That's enough.

"Oh dear, oh my, what is going on here?" you say, cheerfully. "Iffy? You can't be igniting in the corridors. Saria would be very upset if she knew. Silence, too."

Ifrit just stares at your direction blankly, like she isn't quite sure what's happening. "No, it's not... you're not..."

"Let's gather up some water molecules and calm those flames down..."

And with that, you douse the girl in water. She sputters, clearly surprised, but her flames that are erupting from her die down to a whimper, before fading altogether. There's still the fire in the corridor, but that can wait for now. It's not like you work here.

She says, "It's freezing cold! What? MuMu...? MuMu! Help me, I don't want to--"

You step forward and wrap the girl in a hug. She's gotten much bigger now, than the first time you saw her. She's put on more weight; a good sign, it means she's finally eating properly. Her complexion is less sunken in. Just the fact that she's talking to you like this. Yes... as much as you might have doubts, it was a good idea to send her here. It's not safe at Rhine Lab. It's barely safe anywhere, for someone like her, with a power that can erupt at any moment if her emotions get too out of hand, and with so many people out there who are ready to exploit something that explosive.

"Shhh, you can't tell anyone I'm here," you remind her. "It's okay. I'll take care of it. Hehe, I'm not worried at all. You're going to be fine. But remember what we agreed, Iffy?"

The girl passes out in your arms. You sigh, before moving to set her down safely before turning to deal with the remaining fire she caused. This is fine. If this was before, it wouldn't have just been this corridor destroyed, but the entire landship. Ifrit is getting better. You put out the rest of the fire. You can tell that her treatment here is working, and trusting her to R.I. was the best move, even if it's sometimes difficult trusting another party for something this delicate. Then again, if you trusted them completely, you wouldn't even be here right now.

There's footsteps.

You hide, making sure that no one can notice you. And then you see them-- the masked doctor, looking around and taking in the damage. They pause when they reach Ifrit, and you watch as they carefully kneel down to check on the girl. Their hand push her bangs out of her face gently, before they pick her up and start to walk towards where you know the medical bay is.

You see that Ifrit is safe. You leave.
