You needn't thank me, Rose. [ her tone takes on something more sober, more serious, unlike the dramatic flair she tends to speak in. ] You are a dear friend to me, one of the first I ever made in this city. I could not just sit by while you suffered at the hands of those scoundrels!
[ she exhales heavily. ]
I spent too long sitting idle while people around me suffered, I swore to myself I would not do it ever again.
[Rose isn't used to seeing Furina so...calm. It's nice, in a way. It feels more earnest.]
[She smiles on the other end of the line, even if Furina can't see it.]
I'm glad. You're a dear friend to me, too. I'm lucky to have you.
[If Rose could give Furina a headpat over the phone, she would. Rose might be in dire straights right now, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't be able to give headpats?]
Well, I won't pretend I know who you were before, but the Furina I know is a very helpful person.

As well as can be expected, I imagine. Having Veldora and Takame here has really helped.
[And then, after a beat:]
Thank you. For coming for me.
