[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!

My favourite? [If he could stop smiling for a second... well, he doesn't think that he actually would. His tail is still flicking back and forth as he resists the urge to just impulsively hug the other Miqo'te.]

Yeah! Okay. I have a few, there's one not too far from here. How do you feel about curry?

[earwiggle]

[ It’s not like he minds too much. He would accept a hug!]

I feel good about it, I’d like to try some.

[orangebrained]

[A hug will likely be forthcoming in time, when E'kayan is no longer able to resist. Right now he's trying very hard not to overwhelm his friend.]

Okay! Then it's this way.

[Cheerfully, he loops his arm through G'raha's and draws him along, pointing up the street to where they're headed.]

Did you ever try that super hot one they had in the The Last Stand before we left for Tural?

[earwiggle]

No, I'd not gotten the chance. But now I feel like I should try it if tey still have it when we get back to our world.

[ He will likely be overwhelmed for a few days, but that much is to be expected, right? ]

It's so different here, I can't help but be amazed.

[orangebrained]

[Hehe.]

They have something like it here, too. I recognised the smell of it when I passed the place and someone was eating it outside.

[Then he looks around looks up, and nods.]

You... have seen Solution Nine, haven't you?

[earwiggle]

Mm, I have. I saw everything that happened there.

[ Living Memory, all of it. G’raha wonders what Solution 9 would have to do with anything here though.]

I can’t wait to try it, then.

[orangebrained]

Nightwake is a little like it, I think. It's more technologically developed than anything I've seen in Eorzea.

[And in Ilsabard, come to think of it. Garlean advances in technology were constrained by their reliance on Ceruleum - a problem that Ellipsa did not have.]

Only without the... soul-storing thing. Thankfully.

[Grimace.]

[earwiggle]

Comforting that there isn’t a soul-storing facility here. But, I have to wonder what the danger is. Many people seem very happy here.

[ He feels a little conflicted, of course. ]

[orangebrained]

In Nightwake..? I suppose they are.

[At least as happy as normal people ever are. E'kayan has noticed it too.]

The barrier holding back the Darkness is a long way from here. Maybe it just... doesn't feel quite real to them if they don't have to look at it all the time.
