2 does not seem like it could be true.

[astralera]

Only under the assumption that everyone here is human.

[deathstouch]

You do not have ears?

[astralera]

I am not a human as you know them.

[deathstouch]

So you do not have ears?

[astralera]

I do not.

[ she did for the prison world though and retrospectively can't stand them lol ]

[deathstouch]

How do you hear?

[astralera]

With my horns.

[deathstouch]

I must admit that is a new one for me.

[astralera]

This place is quite good for learning and discovering new things.

[deathstouch]

That is quite true.

[astralera]

What has been the most surprising thing you've learnt so far?

[deathstouch]

That's a difficult question.

I would hope 3 wasn't true, but for the purposes of this I think I'll guess 1 is the lie.

internet why did you crash just for this one comment?!

[astralera]

It is not quite as bad as one might think. So long as others are safe I care not for what I see.

I enjoy the feel of the desert sun on my scales. I have yet to find a spot here to replicate it.

[miss_brilliant]

That's a very nice way of thinking about it. It sitll doesn't sound enviable.

Oh. Yes, I would imagine that is something that you'd miss. I know I didn't realize quite how much I missed the same sort of thing until I could feel it again.

[astralera]

It has allowed me to avoid death innumerable times, so I cannot say I wouldn't miss it.

Sun bathing on the beach is not the same, but it is close enough that I can pretend. If it is something you enjoy as well perhaps we should make day trip to the beach?

[miss_brilliant]

Very fair.

I didn't do much of anything like that before I came here thanks to being ridiculously self conscious. But I'm trying to get better about that so yeah, that sounds nice.

[astralera]

It was only recently that I became comfortable exposing my skin, so I can understand.

I was one of very few Au Ra in Eorzea for a few years and had grown accustomed to hiding my scales, horns, and tail. It is quite a freeing feeling to not need worry about such things any longer.

Perhaps this Thursday? I hope I am remembering the name correctly.

[miss_brilliant]

Yeah, I can understand that.

Sure, sounds great.

[astralera]

Are you a morning person, or would you prefer to meet after noon?

[miss_brilliant]

Morning's fine. I'm used to waking up a lot earlier than I need to now, and it's hard habit to break.

[astralera]

It is preferable to oversleeping I should think, though there is a time and place for that.


((would you like to thread out the beach hang-out in a log? we could leave it closed, or open for the boys to get a glimpse of two beautiful ladies ;P)))

[miss_brilliant]

(sure thing! we could do open so Amanda can expand her social circle)

[astralera]

((my work schedule is crazy for another two days so I won't have time to set one up until Wednesday, if that works!))

[miss_brilliant]

(that's cool, no worries!)

daemon: quothed

[deathkid]

well, i know for a fact that #2 is true...

[astralera]

You have yet to meet me in person to confirm that as fact.

daemon: haurchefantd

[remarkablymodest]

Number one, for I know the opposite to be true.

[ Yet it makes the fact that she still visits Ishgard regularly to see all those she's befriended there that much more meaningful. ]

[astralera]

If Ishgard was located in the Hinterlands or the Forelands I might have been able to fool you.

[remarkablymodest]

Perhaps.
But as it is not, that is a moot point.

As for number three, hopefully here we can make sure no more deaths be added to your tally than necessary.

[astralera]

The Echo has not bothered me overmuch since my arrival, so disregard the third if you'd like.

[remarkablymodest]

Is that abnormal?

[astralera]

For the Echo not to bother me?

[ she gives it some thought. ]

It still is in effect here, but I have yet to experience any visions. Perhaps this is just due to no longer being in near-constant danger? In any case, I don't recall a life before the Echo so it is a strange reprieve to have.

[remarkablymodest]

Hopefully we can ensure that not being in near-constant danger remains the status quo.

[ He doubts it but friend you do have a habit of giving people who care quite the frighten. ]

[astralera]

Then where would I find all my fun?
