back after a very long time.

[reflectreveal]

I am pleased that you have reconciled with the fact that I remain rather than sweeping me and the aforementioned under your attempts to further your education. Really. I thank you for allowing me to surface again, even with what is at stake in your own affairs. For what it is worth, I highly doubt that I will find my friends.

...So you wonder why I am still here.
Permit me to selfish, just this once. I don't want to be alone. If my friends have not made the leap to this site and have merely faded away, I will find additional friends. And a home would be an amazing start. Yes, I'm aware of that, but thank you for reiterating that.

I wouldn't think that to be an unreasonable request. Being separated from your friends or family can be...painful, to say the least.

[The girl―blue-haired and rather overdressed―rests her chin on a gloved hand.]

My mundane, player, whatever term you prefer to use, he...says he might be able to point you in the right direction, that you may know a few people in the place I have been sent. [Granted, Nina herself hasn't actually met either of them in person yet so she isn't entirely certain.]

[reflectreveal]

Yes, yet complaining about the fact does nothing for it. Truthfully, I feel quite ashamed for bringing my grievances to her in the fashion of a spoiled child. To do so does not befit a knight.

[The paladin observes the girl thinking and stays quite silent while she ponders, of course not wanting to interrupt her flow of thought.]

I would be most grateful for your Mundane's assistance in this matter. I am not particularly choosy about canonmates (as my mundane calls those from my world) as such, any which offer friendship are welcome. Yet a community is just what I'm after.

Might I inquire to your name..?

[biothermal]

Better to let them be known rather than let them stew, at the very least. [She shrugs.]

The place I was sent, the one he means to point you toward, it's...a sort of patchwork realm made up of bits and pieces from many worlds, known here by the name dragonhaven. Even aside from the few he says you would know, many of the other people there are actually quite easy to get along with, save for a few exceptions which I've been fortunate enough not to meet yet in the time I've spent there.

My name? It's Nina Lora, sir. And yours...?

[reflectreveal]

...I suppose you are right.

I see. The place seems fitting enough, the thought of I shall make a few enquiries with those I would know by canon in that community and see if they are comfortable with the thought of being joined before I have my Mundane submit an application. Thank you for yours, and your Mundane's guidance.

My name is Cecil Harvey. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[biothermal]

[The returned introduction is met with a nod. The impression she has so far is a good one.] Likewise. He and I both forsee no objections, and you are quite welcome.

Perhaps...I might see you there later?

[reflectreveal]

[He nods in turn and allows himself a faint smile at that.] I trust you are right. If only for their consent meaning that I might see you there.

It would be a pleasure.

[Have a sage's staff aimed at the back of your head. "Highly doubt I will find my friends" indeed.]

[reflectreveal]

[appropriate thwacking sound goes here]

...Tellah?!

[forget the bump on the head. You're alive ;A;]

[you_spoony_bard]

[As well it should. Never doubt a sage as tenacious as him.]

You know many other sages as powerful as I?

[After all, he did kinda learn Meteor and cast it though it should've been impossible for him. ...Side-effects shide-smefeccts.]

[reflectreveal]

[Astonishment!]]

N-no, it isn't that. I just had not expected to see you...

[As if Cid and Yang evading death wasn't hard enough to believe. Refrains from wibbling, just a bit. REAL MEN DON'T WIBBLE.]

...alive.

[you_spoony_bard]

[Tellah's expression softens and a bit of a smirk forms on his face.]

To be honest, so am I. However, in this state I was given access to information I did not have before, and I feel there's something I need to say.

[Deep breath. Mark this day on your calendar, Cecil. It'll most likely never happen again.]

I'm sorry for attacking your brother as I did. I let my hatred and anger blind my vision. I - of all people - should have been able to sense the presence of another, guiding his actions.

[reflectreveal]

[So he's still dead then. He tries not to look too disappointed, though it's pretty obvious that he is. ]

... You shoulder no blame and have no need to apologize. Zemus' guise was impenetrable. Even you could not have known..

[And there's the matter of Tellah's Meteor being powerful enough to break the hold on Kain. But even that's not worth dying for.Of course not. No matter how important, it's a life paid for it.]

...Do not worry for Golbez. I am just sorry your actions had that consequence.

[Y-yeah. He's still not quite 100% with Golby no matter what his Dissidia version thinks.]
