"Ha, well I'm glad to hear that stuffing our faces with your food made us seem more trustworthy. We're struggling to take things at face value since everything is alien to us here, but a man lost in the desert must take what water he is offered. Or something like that. A quote from a book I read recently."
AJ follows after Nketiah to the meeting chamber, waving farewell to the other Ekujae from the feast. The event and the seemingly honest response did a lot to relax her. However, leaving behind the bonfire for the quiet room allowed her thoughts to wander briefly.
What should I even expect them to say?
Her brow furrowed with focus as the linguist now began to pour with answers.
Aiudara... they must be our way back home. Us being rare arrivals was about what I expected though. Once the word "god" fell from Nketiah's lips, AJ's eyes began to widen. Soon after, her lips parted as her jaw dropped. And then, the corners of her mouth rose into an open, bewildered smile.
That's fucking badass, holy shit. What is this? Elden Ring? Is this the Shattering? Her instinct was to voice these clearly inappropriate thoughts, but her limited filter managed to stop her. Instead, a grunting cough sputtered out as she cleared her throat and tried to retake control of her body language. Still, the excitement in her eyes was hard to miss.
"Heroes it is then."
Looking to see the response of the others, her smirk was still not so well-contained.
Seize divine fragments from the Godsrain... Become as gods. Really not contained at all.
