text | un: EXARCH

[Well, this is a new username! Meaning this is clearly a new person. His text comes off as mostly curious. Inquisitive as he might be, he hoped this won’t come across as intrusive. ]

Hello there, as I have come to understand…this place is comprised of many people from many worlds.

Call it being curious, but won’t some of you tell me about your home worlds? Do you wish to return to them? It’s quite alright if you don’t wish to answer, call this satisfying my own curiosity.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I’ll keep that in mind.

[It would be remiss of him to not engage them, right? So he will. But he knows the one he most certainly traveled with.

He squeezes her hands again. ]

I had wondered if this was anything like what happened when I pulled the scions and you to the First. But it feels different.

'tis not so different, but 'tis not similar either. I've been pulled to two other worlds before this one, too.

All the while, continuously finding mine memories filled with what happened on our star, or returning to it. A bit confusing. But- I wanted to tell you this because-

A lot of mine companions that have arrived here- have not known me. Ser Aymeric is here, and he recalls a Warrior of Light who is a man, Estinien was here and knew me not as his friend- but accepted that I was.

[ So- there's the weight of her worry. ]

And it stings every time when they don't recall, so I hope you will be kind to the other Warriors, too.

[He listens dutifully. His brow furrowing. ]

You were afraid I wouldn’t remember you, weren’t you?

[His ears droop a little, his tail hangs low, sweeping the ground. ]

You’ve no reason to worry on the behalf of the other Warriors of Light. I will treat them all kindly. If they seem familiar to me? Won’t it be exciting to get to know them?

Aye...

[ She looks up at him, feeling a little selfish that she'd feel that way- she's been in three worlds like this now! She should be used to it! But-

His words make her ears lift, and she gives his hands a squeeze. ]

... I know you'd never be unkind. And they've gone through similar journeys, but they're all so different. One of them is even courting Erenville! Who didn't remember me either, heh.

[ She smiles warmly, though- ]

Oh! And... a lot of our Ancient friends are here too! Emet-Selch, Hythlodaeus, Venat, Hermes...

I’ve already run into Emet-Selch.

[He pins his ears back. Maybe the two of them had a little scuffle over the network. He has a lot of complicated feelings regarding him. But…he will get over it eventually.]

Hearing what you have been through though…I should like to hear all of your tales. I should like to ease your worries if I can?

I know. I saw you both going at it.

[ And not the fun way she would prefer her friends go at it!! But she does step closer and touch his cheek. ]

... there's so much to tell. You must have gotten a place to stay here. We can go there for now, then I'll take you to mine home in this place. You can stay with me if you like.

Apologies, perhaps we still have some unresolved tension.

[He leans into her touch. ]

Quite honestly I haven’t even gone to see where I am supposed to be staying. I had too many questions upon getting here.

[ That is so like him though. ]

You would let me stay with you?

I wouldn't blame you for it. Though... I suppose 'tis not as surprising to see him here, is it? After all we did witness.

[ With the Endless and all. But his response is cute... she brushes his hair back, then lowers her hand back to taking his and smirking. ]

Did you have anywhere else you wanted to stay in, then? I happen to have a home fit to house many, you know. Mine dear Miss Joie and Venat stay together with me. Or at least, when Venat hasn't wandered into a moon-long adventure...

........ and you may find Emet-Selch there too.

Less surprising than you might think. Though he only acknowledges me as the Exarch still. Though I cannot bring myself to blame him.

He and I opposed each other for quite some time.

[He raises his brow, the familiar touches are quite grounding for him. He’s here. This is the situation they are in.

They can handle it together. ]

You have quite a full house. I’ve thought of nowhere else I would want to stay…so, if you would have me.

…if I wouldn’t be a burden. If Emet-Selch wouldn’t mind my presence either…

He never did learn your name, did he.

[ A chuckle- ]

... of course I'll have you, though. I ended up... getting a place far bigger than I needed. Just in case more wished to stay together.

[ She's always liked things being loud and lively in her home. It helps her not miss her children. ]

No, he didn’t. That was my own fault.

[ He holds her hands in his still, he’s not willing to let go right now.]

You’ll take me there? I feel we have so much more to discuss.

Aye. I suppose we'll head there first. Also-

[ Lifting her hand and flicking her fingers between his eyebrows! ]

We need to get you settled in! Come along! We need to get food, get you some clothes and be on our way!

[ He startles! Making a ‘nyargh’ sound when he’s flicked.]

H-hey! Oh, very well. Let us be off to take care of those things first.

[Though, he won’t really hide the way he’s staring so fondly at her. ]

What is the matter with the clothes I am wearing? I happen to enjoy this outfit, unless you have a better suggestion?

[ Tee hee. ]

Surely you're not going to wear those clothes indoors, too! I've some indoor shoes for you to change into when we get there, too.

[ His look doesn't go missed, though a flustered feeling races through her at it and she extends her hand to his again- just wanting the reality of him being near again. ]

We live in Blossomcrown. Wait til you see it!

Of course not, lead the way then.

[Ah, he takes her hand again without thinking about it. Squeezing it as they go. Where she leads, he will inevitably follow.

She doesn’t have to worry anymore.]

I can’t wait, but, how are we getting there?!

[ Points to one of the teleportation nodes nearby. ]

How do you think I got here so fast? Just hold mine hand as we go. You'll get drained, but we can recover with touch once we get there. 'Tis like an aethernet we don't have to attune to!

What fascinating technology!

[Of course he would focus on that. He’s going to go through it with her.

The teleportation DOES feel quite similar to an aetheryte. ]

Incredible, and they don’t even rely on an aethernet..

Please don't wander off to study it while you're settling in. You'll turn to stone if you use them too much without replenishing your touch energy.

[ And it's a little walk to her place... it's become a huge estate of its own at this point, with Venat's treehouse grown in the lawn.

She gives his hand a squeeze and walks ahead. ]

There's some nice places nearby too that we can get your necessities from, but I'll show you where we can go back to in case we get separated.

I’ve heard that term already from someone else, touch energy. So we have to touch lest we turn into a statue.

[ Not that he’s trying to ask for that! Touch or turning into a statue! But Megumi seems comfortable enough with him to touch him. Hold hands with him.

Ah, his cheeks may betray him at this rate.]

Show me everything, we have all the time in the world, don’t we?

[ Another assurance that he would not willingly leave her.]

[ She always enjoys making him fluster, and she sighs as she keeps her hand in his- he's newly arrived, so the more touch he gets, the better.

Her ears lift at his words though, before she looks him over. ]

As long as you are here, anyroad. Don't make promises you may not be able to keep, my friend. Mine heart couldn't take it if I expected too much...

What if I wanted to promise you? It feels wrong of me not to give you some sort of reassurance.

…you have clearly been through a lot.

[He squeezes her hand again, for the touch energy and to hopefully get through to her. ]

Raha...

[ She feels it, and it's a pleasant rush. So much has happened here, and she knows that G'raha will mean what he says-

Especially after what he said on the gondola, too. It's still weighing on her heart, and she steps into the front lawn, holding his hand still and watching him. ]

I'm just afraid of being forgotten again. And again and again...

I won’t forget you. I haven’t forgotten you.

[ Tugging her into his chest once they get into the yard. Time for a nice hug! ]

I’ve already made a fool of myself once, I do not intend to do it again. I promised you that, didn’t I?

Which time? You've made a fool of yourself quite often, actually.

[ Teasing- but she does let him hug her, resting her head against his shoulder and the side of his head as she holds him tight. ]

But aye, you did promise. You did... I've just... wished to be back home as I know it so much. Full glad I am that you're here, though.

I have a tendency to do such, don’t I?

[ Though he would do it for such stupid and unfounded reasons.]

We can find our way home together. No matter how long it takes.

[There are so many unspoken things between them, but right now isn’t the right time for it all. ]
