she was and now she isn't. humankind took everything she had to give until she fell apart, so we had to leave her behind
[ she's made a lot of those earth people sad by telling them this story, RIP.
but hold up, there's something more important here! if only himeka could see river's !!! as she analyzes the characters she sent. ]
it's not a perfect match. 意味 is close to 意义 ( noun, "meaning/significance" ) but the others are different. can't say for sure, might be closer to ancient japan than china.

Oh, I see. So you're looking for a new star?
[ It makes her think a bit of what the Loporrits were planning for her own world. ]
So you have multiple places that use a similar language too! Our worlds really do seem to have a lot in common. We have Hingashi and Doma.

I don't have ears, Hilda.
[ Sounds like a HYUR problem? ]
Yes, Tataru! I have cards of all my friends. I just haven't come across one of me.
Unless...no one ever plays it against me?

[ Her lips take the form of a wry smile at that. He does know her well, doesn't he? She never enjoyed staying idle for long, less so in cramped conditions. ]
We made due, don't worry.
[ There were plenty of animals to wrangle and preserve (and incidentally cook) to keep her busy for a while.
But minor it is. It's Thancred, after all, who has had to find a new safe zone. Of course if anyone could weather it, could make the necessary arrangements...the memories do turn her smile a little softer. It would be easier if she could go through it with him this time again. ]
That and not having to wonder if you've been dead for several months.
[ Don't forget that detail, Thancred. ]

[ Ah yes, that. Thancred pauses for a moment, not wanting to handle his response to this in the wrong way because he knows it was a difficult time for Himeka, Alphinaud, and Tataru. They no doubt worried that all of their Scion friends had lost their lives, or suffered some even worse fate.
Maybe some of them came out a bit rougher around the edges, and as for Minfilia, well... they hardly need retread that particularly tragedy.
But eventually he does send her a wry smirk before he takes a sip of his ale. ]
I imagine that by now you're quite familiar with my ability to scrape through near-death experiences, eh?
[ First during that bout against Ran'jit, then in Ultima Thule — he's well aware that he makes a habit of such self-sacrificial acts. At least this time around no such thing was called for. ]

Five whole stars all to your selves? That's amazing! I haven't even seen that many.
[ She also wouldn't have thought such a thing were possible five years ago. How time changes! ]
Absolutely! There's still a lot to learn about it, to be honest. I feel like I've only just cracked the surface.
Etheirys has big beautiful oceans and seas, but most people live on the land. I'm from the Ruby Sea which is right between Othard and the archipelago of Hingashi. Othard is where Doma is and I think that may be closer to your New Chinese!
Oh, I should probably mention that it was once a slightly different world but was split into 14 shards when the universe was coming to an end. Some of them were rejoined with the Source, but not at all. That won't happen anymore, though!
We have one big moon that's a space ship run by Loporrits.

[ How many people have they lost? Much too many. Close friends, allies, kind acquaintances, faces she'd only seen in passing but knew they were all fighting for the same thing. Death is as much a member of the team as an adversary.
Given her own proclivity for putting herself in dire straits, she's in no position to hold him so accountable. But she does anyway, because it's Thancred and because she's allowed to.
To his credit, his delivery is perfect and all she can do is huff. ]
A very nasty habit, thanks!
[ She shakes her head. ]
Still...I'll admit, from what I know of Nott, it seems like it may be much safer in some ways.

[ A nasty habit is one way of putting it, but in Thancred's defense, what else was he supposed to do when Meteion appeared on the Ragnarok and sucked the very air from the cabin? He hadn't fully realized what he was doing until it was done, with dynamis taking his will and turning it into reality.
All's well that ends well, at least. They're both still here.
Thankfully, Himeka lets him off easy, and Thancred is quick to nod. ]
Aye, I think it suits me a bit better as well. I also have met with Nott's ruler before, one Lyle Vela, and he is open to harboring any Summoned who are not in the good graces of the crown.
[ Of course, that crown is now upon a different head entirely, but Thancred can't say he's eager to return to the castle either way. ]

You're the best! I'll be really powerful, right?

[ They are all willing to put their lives on the line for the work the day. But when it comes down to it, seeing the people you care about fulfill that potentiality is hard. It's scary. The amount of times they barely make through it alive make it seem like they always will.
Himeka hopes that still holds. She believes in them.
She knew that Thancred has been making moves in Nott for a while, but for for the leader to making it a sanctuary for the Summoned? That is big news. ]
He is? That's wonderful. And you don't think the monarchy would try to follow up on that?
[ She remembers now Anastasia turned her and Estinien over to the King and Queen, but she does understand that politics are a little different in Nott. ]

[ It's a good question, yet Thancred does not have a good answer. He pauses for a moment, then heaves out a sigh and gives a shake of his head. ]
It's difficult to say. I don't know as much about Sidwell as I would like, not enough to hazard a guess as to how he'll rule. For now, the best thing we can do is keep our heads down.
[ And maybe they'll get lucky, and Sidwell will have a list of greater priorities than chasing down a few stray Summoned.
It would be a stretch to say he'll be better than Queen Ellya, but he might have different goals, if nothing else. ]

Alucard and I made a pillow fort.

Were you going to draw me as a wyvern?

Can I have a REALLY big tail? And long wings?

Ohh, an exclusive! That is very exciting. As for Thancred, how about A69C.

I think we should try to reach out to the gods here. In my memory as a god I could go anywhere including the Feywilds so hopefully they can too? I think we might need their help with the Singularity. You in?
Julia, are you psychic? I was just talking to Alucard about this.
Or, well, that maybe I should try anyway even if it doesn't lead to anything. I'm in!
