[ The mere presence of Emmanellain in her inbox is enough to make Angel sigh in relief. She's been back through all the messages, of course - several times, as though studying people's reactions will eventually reveal what they'd thought she was saying or doing.

Yelling at Emmanellain like that after he clearly hadn't done anything wrong? Embarrassing. Not stopping to think that maybe, just maybe the freaking dragon wasn't legit? E M B A R R A S S I N G. The fact that he's made the first move here is much appreciated, to say the least. ]

Oh, you goof - there's no need to apologise at all. I mean - I'm sorry too, obviously, but neither of us is really at fault. I've been wondering how to address this myself, so. Thank you for taking the initiative! Despite my, er. Outburst.

[ EM. BAR. RAS. ING. ]

I hope you're alright. And that the things you saw weren't too distressing. Dealing with it alone can't have been easy.

[He breathes out a sigh of relief, his voice loses that desperation, and something a bit more like himself fills his tone--far more effervescent like his usual self.

He's just glad that whatever was happening is over. For now, at least.]

Thank the Fury. I was truly worried you were set on discarding me entirely.

[Not that it'd be anything new, most likely, but all the same...]

Full glad am I that such horrors seem to be at their end, but you need not worry about me, while I may have had a dismal spell, that was all it was. I am quick to recover!

[More like quick to bullshit, but w/e!!]

...Though, I must confess I am hugely curious as to what it was you were experiencing from me--or, I suppose, what you thought was me.

Edited 2016-03-03 08:40 (UTC)

Oh, come on. You're far too nice for anyone to cast you aside like that! Geez.

[ gosh emmanellain MAKE HER FEEL MORE EMBARRASSED ABOUT THIS, WHY DON'T YOU

She does hesitate a little before deciding to divulge the deets. Not because she thinks it'd freak him out - THE DRAGON WAS PRETTY COOL OKAY DON'T JUDGE - but more because yet again it's freaking embarrassing. A dwagon said mean fings 2 me!! ]

And, um. It was silly, really? You drank something-or-other and turned into a sorta. Dragonlike. Thing. One who really liked talking sh-- talking trash. It, um. Geez, this sounds dumb.

[HEY he's usually the embarrassment, so it's nice to pass that off to someone ELSE for a spell!]

Would that what you say were true.

[He agrees he's plenty nice! But that certainly hasn't earned him many friends. Granted, here he hasn't had the chance to indulge in being the flirty drunkard he is back home... but that's neither here nor there!

But as she goes on to describe what she saw, he falls silent. He turned into a dragon? That'd be the same as telling some christian you saw them turn into a demon, and so there's an awkward silence.

After a few moments:]

I apologize you had to witness that—I cannot say 'tis dumb, when such things happen more oft than I care to admit whence I hail. Though, less "talking trash" and more outright killing and fire-breathing.

Praise Halone that all that could happen was the former. I know not what I would do if you fell prey to the latter.

[Which, still wouldn't have happened ANYWAYS cuz he didn't ACTUALLY turn into a dragon, but still!]

Oh - look, see, this is why it's hard to believe anyone would abandon your friendship or anything! You're so sweet.

[ Seiously being glad she wasn't eaten by a dragon HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT? IT'S GOSHDARN ADORABLE AS HECKIE IS WHAT.

And also pretty horrifying when you take into account that it's not an uncommon occurance, geez. At least on Pandora you can toddle your way to the nearest vending machine and digistruct yourself a buttload of Hyperion brand weaponry to take down anything that tries to eat you. At very reasonable prices and everything.

It also helps that everything on Pandora is a) a monster, b) insane or c) both. It makes these things a whole lot less tragic. ]

But I'm sorry. Um - for believing that you'd be so horrible, I mean. But I'm also sorry that dragons are a thing for you! With all the killing and... whatnot.

[ wow she's good at this today A++ ]

[Jeez Angel, loading on the compliments there aren't ya?]

'Tis but what a beautiful maiden deserves, is it not?

[Eorzea is not much different. All too often the scenario of "dad goes out to get dinner for family, but becomes dinner for a monster" occurs. The monster surplus is ridiculous, and it's even worse when there's sentient dragons mulling about.

Not to mention false gods that pop up every once in a while trying to wipe out the five spoken races.

Or the second moon falling, causing unnatural and permanent climate shifts so that your entire country is thrown into eternal winter, as well as the fragments of the moon coming down and wrecking shit. And I guess that giant god dragon blowing shit up didn't help either.

Or the Garleans trying to take over Eorzea and causing all sorts of problems.

#LittleEorzeaThings]

Pray don't apologize, there was foul play involved, and it would be a lie to say I did not take what cruel words you had said to me to heart—or what I had believed to be you. We were both played for fools.

As for the dravanians... my people have weathered a war against their kind for a thousand years. There's no need to apologize, 'tis something us Ishgardians are rather used to.

Oof. I don't even want to know what the false me said, do I? I don't - mmmh. I don't even understand what could cause errors like that.

[ Because it'd be one thing if everyone saw different falsehoods - the delusions would obviously be personal then. But with everyone but the person posting seeing the same altered messages?

Nuh-uh, son. That's some weirdness right there. Either spooky supernatural weirdness or someone deliberately messing with everyone, and neither is a nice thought. ]

Um, anyway. The dravanians are the dragonlike creatures? Or - Mmmh. Is creatures even the right term, if you've been warring with them? Are they animals, or - you know. Sentient? Geez. A thousand years.

'Twould be best to leave it be.

[He doesn't wanna say what was said cuz it was a little too true for his poor baby feelings.

He's just as puzzled with the strange network based affliction that happened. It's all pretty creepy when he thinks about it, and so he tries not to.]

They are sentient, and they are indeed creatures besides. While they may be able to speak in our language, they will rip you apart as easily and with no hesitation as any beast. They are creatures without age, and their numbers could very well darken the midday sky.

[He pauses a moment.]

...Though, before I was brought here, we were working on a means to end that thousand year conflict—a means outside eradicating every last one of their ilk. Seeing as that had been our plan for a millennia, and it had brought us nothing but misery and death.

[It also helps that some VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION WAS DISCOVERED TOO. Which means they were gonna try to make peace with them, buuut. buuuut, when you have a thousand years of hatred between both sides, it's not so easy to just go JK GUYS LETS BE FRIENDS!!!]

Oh - then you were wrong the other day. You do have important things to go back home for, see! Not an especially nice reason, but still. I'm sure your help will be needed with smoothing everything over!

[ Because she might not know anything about nobility or magical dragon worlds, but lords are important./i> Right? RIGHT. ]

And Haurchefant's help too, of course. Have you two managed to meet back up yet? Or at least figure out how far away you are?

I--

[He goes silent as he thinks about that. Sure, he might be a Lord of Ishgard, but he has little means of aiding anything. Unlike Artoirel who seems to do everything right, or Haurchefant who is better than both. However, Haurchefant can serve their cause no longer, considering he's still warm in his grave.

The change of topic is a relief, and Emmanellain endeavors to keep his composure, forcing thoughts of home into the furthest reaches of his mind. For all this place sucks and is miserable, at least his brother is still around.]

Not as of yet, I am remaining where I am in an effort to make that possible. Haurchefant is none too far, perhaps a day away, so our reunion will happen ere long.
