[She does look like she’s been decorating again. This time there’s a bed here. She’s also set on putting in a basic kitchen. But honestly, she’s not figured that whole part out yet. ]
[Having a bed is a good start, at least. Not that Emet-Selch imagine Venat would be anything less than perfectly willing to lie down on the floor of her treehouse, but that she has the energy to spare on at least basic furnishings is certainly a decent enough start.]
I have something I thought to share.
[He doesn't make her wait overlong in suspense either. Admittedly, the container he draws forth is opaque - it appears to be of Garlean make, or rather, Emet-Selch's recreation of something initially Garlean - but it's of a size that looks like it might contain some manner of food.]
[Sykon compote, to be specific. A simple dish, yes, but one that has none the less been made to Emet-Selch's exacting standards. And with genuine sykons at that, or at least as genuine as is possible with creation magic. Though Emet-Selch would certainly not object to having a proper sykon tree growing in Ellipsa the effort of creating an entire tree was more than he had wanted to bother with at the time.]
The fruits of this world were... less than what I desired.
[He had a moment of homesickness, though he certainly isn't like to come out at say it.]
[She lets his name slip, she doesn’t correct herself either. This made her more happy than she could possibly explain.
She ushers him to sit down at the small table, with chairs this time. Though she had not brought any food here just yet, conceptualizing a piece of toast for them is not a difficult task. Before them will be a plate of nicely toasted bread. Warm and comforting.]
Thank you for coming to share. You seem to be in better spirits too, I am happy.
[There's a faint huff of feigned irritation from Emet-Selch at the mention of him having a soft spot, but he makes not so much as the slightest complaint at her using his true name. Nor does he object to being ushered towards the table, sitting down only a brief moment later.]
I thought you might be among those who would appreciate it.
[Given that neither of them have seen their world as it was in longer than he imagines either of them would care to admit.]
[As much as Emet-Selch has enjoyed his naps in the aetherial sea, it's true that the aetherial sea doesn't have sykons. No matter how one might have come by them.
Nor does he waste any more time before helping himself as she's indicated he should, spreading some on his own toast in turn.]
Perhaps I shall have to consider making it again, at some point.
[When he next sees a need - or is otherwise convinced to.]
You have seen some of what came of it. Beyond that... we spoke of our shared world.
[Which is to say, he actually acknowledged that Megumi is the Warrior of Light he remembers, though he assumes that Venat will be able to figure out what he means.]

You could have just come up, you know.

What brings you here today, Emet Selch?

[ She takes the container and carefully opens it. When she sees the contents, her heart becomes heavy...but in a good way. ]
Sykons?
[ She can't hide her smile right now. ]

This is way better than floating in the aetherial sea.]
Help yourself, I’ll put some tea on for us.

Anyroad, I feel you’ve another reason to be here today. Am I right? Has something happened?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-22 07:40 pm (UTC)[Which is to say 'yes, absolutely'. He just isn't going say as much.]
In a manner of speaking. Megumi and I spoke, following my previous visit here.
[This has comparatively little to do with why he's back, but it is nonetheless something that has happened.]

Are you happy, Emet-Selch?
