Martha's Rest? It sounds lovely. It's not surprising you would have your own network of connections.

[ Do Cid's friends get some sort of VIP service? What she would hope for more than anything is a clear look into what the people and the land are like around "Martha's Rest". But she wouldn't mind a drink voucher for dropping his name.

Cid has all the aura of a well-traveled man, one who has seen his fair share of conflict. The darkening in his expression as he empathizes with her kinsman's plight isn't lost on her either. ]


It is. Is there a similar settlement on your star?

[ Mayhaps not at the bottom of the sea, but in general. The kind that would hole themselves away in the hopes that danger isn't inevitable. ]

Kenneth! I shall seek out Kenneth too. Are they someone else I could find at Martha's Rest?

[ If it's a fellow foodie, she will absolutely remember that name. Especially one from another star entirely! The dishes she could learn and taste from this clever chef--oh, her taste buds can't wait. She does a happy little toast to herself in celebration of her future meals as she nearly finishes off her stein in a few impressive gulps. Very ladylike. ]

A cook for the princess?

[ The thought is one that seems wondrous as Himeka lowers her cup, then shakes her head with a smile as she refocuses on Cid. ]

I would have barely passed as someone fitting to descale the fish at that time. No, I was going to serve as a kind of, um...advisor, I suppose. Technically a priestess, though I had no talent for prayer or ritual. That seems odd now, doesn't it?

[ Given what she's done in Solvunn. ]

I've been able to hear the voices of nature since I was young. We thought they were the Kami at the time, but I've come to realize they were Elementals. So not quite gods or spirits but also not too far off? They had no real interest in us down on the sea floor, but in a bit of playing with them as a child, I could glean when currents would shift, when storms come and whatnot. All because they joked about it! [ She shrugs somewhat helplessly. ] They believed it prophecy when it was really just a teenager who wanted to swim where she wasn't supposed to, happening upon forces she didn't understand or know better to fear. I thought they were my special friends.

[ She waves her hand as if dismissing the notion. ]

But what of you? Even though it was ages we spent in that time, everything I know of your home is really from Clive. What is it like being Cid from Valisthea?
