[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!

[Thats okay, he could also be extremely awkward. Could likely even top her awkwardness if he tried hard enough. ]

I regret to say that I do not recognize your name, though I do feel like we are friends.

I would be remiss to not get to know you, if you would be amenable to that?

[He hates being a bringer of bad news, especially since his own history with the Warrior of Light would apply to most…if not all of them right? ]

[astera]

[ Based on the people she's met thus far, his answer doesn't surprise her... nor does she really consider it to be bad news. Of course there's some disappointment— she can't control that— but the thing that the Warriors of Light seem to have in common is that they and G'raha have found each other over and over again, from that first encounter in the forest on. Why should this time be any different— not just for her, but for any of them? ]

There's no need for regret! It seems to be the way of things here.

Besides, isn't the chance to get to know one another the greatest adventure of all? Of course I would be amenable!

[earwiggle]

[He imagines that it must sting. Which is why it makes him all the more motivated to get to know the Warriors of Light who are here.

He does feel some relief when she agrees to his offer. Who would he be if he didn’t get to know her? Who would he be if he didn’t take up the offer on the adventure? ]

Full glad am I to hear it. I cannot deny that I was a little shocked to hear just how many Warriors of Light there were. Though I am familiar with the idea of multiple timelines…

[astera]

I have not been in Ellipsa for too long myself, and so I haven't yet had the chance to meet many of the others. But I have been made aware of the sheer volume. It is... quite odd, to say the least. Considering not only the similarities, but the differences, too.

[ Y'tajha can't quite help her chuckle, though, as she reads the rest of his message. ]

But please, give yourself credit.. Familiar with the idea??
I dare say you are the sole reason I understand it at all!

[earwiggle]

I thought it was quite interesting that so many of you have shared such unbelievable things. It honestly does make me want to get to know all of you, and learn how you overcame those various trials. How was it different? How was it the same? Are there those who didn’t go through those trials too?

[OK NERD. ]

I didn’t want to take too much credit! I’m flattered.

[astera]

[ Definitely a nerd— and yet, it makes her smile, because in truth she has thought much of the same things. ]

It's a good question, and one I haven't really asked of them myself, yet. I admit I was somewhat too overwhelmed by the idea of meeting myself and yet not myself.

Perhaps the strangest thing to me is that... well, some of us are different sexes, no? I imagine there would even be those of different races, though I've not come across them. Can you imagine, G'raha, going to another world and finding a you who was female, a Hyur, and had bright pink hair?

It's quite odd. And I can only begin to imagine how strange it is for your mind, besides.

[ Ah, but she's rambling. ]

Anyroad, were you seeking to avoid taking credit, or just wanting to receive it from me?

forgive meeeee, work ate me and then i got sick

[earwiggle]

[ He can't help but be nerdy, everyone knows it! ]

Well, I can't say that I one-hundred percent understand what that might feel like. The me in the First was certainly just another me.

Perhaps you should meet some of them. I would be glad to come along with you if it would help ease the burden of awkwardness.

[ Pure as ever. ]

Maybe I like hearing it.

all good! wb! I was dealing with the last week of term myself

[astera]

Ah, I worded myself poorly.
I have met one—it was quite the experience.

[ But, even with that said... ]

I would not be opposed to your company when meeting some of the others, too. I imagine it will be awkward for all of us involved, after all.

[ And then, as she laughs to herself: ]

So clever that he even knows how to make others say it for him, huh.

[earwiggle]

Either way, you know that my offer will stand. It’s hard and awkward, and it shouldn’t be. So I will help.

[If she could see him, he’s just, flustering himself. ]

Go easy on me!

now it's my turn to have life hit me in the face

[astera]

Okay~ okay~

G'raha Tia, you're a genius.

[ If this is her way of going easy on him... ]

But in all seriousness...
Thank you.

shhhhhh it happens

[earwiggle]

Its no trouble, you can come to me whenever you like.

[astera]

As always, you're too kind.
I'll keep that in mind, my friend. Thank you.
