[He's barely been here but for a few days, but already everything is overwhelming. He's trying to keep it together, but apparently there are other forces at work.]

[His Omni turns on and there's a fuzzy paw covering the display for a moment. It moves away and reveals Nara'a sitting in a small wooden shack, a needle and thread in hand. He's found some rags somewhere and has clearly ripped them apart to form more serviceable pieces of cloth. He's sewing a little bit, silent for a while, before he looks up at what his Omen is doing.]

Hey, stop playing with that.

[He sets his work down and picks up the Omni, looking into it.]

... Sorry about that. I'm... I was just trying to repurpose a few things that I found.

[He's quiet for a few moments before going on.]

I'm new, so I didn't want to bother anyone, and I thought maybe I could trade these for something else. Does anyone know of a place where I could do that?

I'm not the best at weaving, but I'm a fair hand. They should be serviceable, at least. A few might have patches, though.

[Hm. He nods and fumbles with the Omni for a few moments before the broadcast shuts off.]

[ .. in the woods? She'd almost wonder why he lived there, but his mention of his clan makes it make more sense.. Maybe that's just where his group of people lived. It's not that strange for people to live in secluded areas, especially when Chizuru knows that's where she's from too, even though that was from a time too early to retain any real memories from.

So instead she hums along to show she's listening, until he arrives at that last part. ]

You know you can read up about this place too, right? [ He sounded new enough, so Chizuru wonders whether or not someone told him yet.

It's likely that someone did, but if he likes reading so much, she doesn't want him to not know this. ]

I haven't really been there myself, but.. um, I heard people say that there's a big archive full of books about this place. You could probably read there forever and never finish all the books there..

[ So there's enough of a reading supply there for him. ]

[aetherweaver]

Oh? Really? I'll have to check it out. I'm... well. A bit of a nerd.

... Maybe more than just a bit.

[Anyway. He offers her another smile, eyeing the shirt that's swallowing her up. It's kind of cute... like a dressing gown on her, almost.]

I'm glad that this place seems like it has a little bit of something for everyone.

[tealeafs]

A lot of people say it's bad. And.. I get why.

[ After all, there's a lot of things Chizuru doesn't like either. The way this place hurts a lot of people. The way it tore her away from everyone she knows back home, and she's still homesick and worried about everyone she left behind..

But thinking about that feels too sad. Too negative.

She wants to at least put a bit of a positive spin on it, especially for a relatively new person like him who could use the boost. So she cutely smiles at him. ]

But it's not just bad! There are fun things to do, and.. the people here are all so kind, it kind of feels like a dream!

[aetherweaver]

It does feel a little like a dream... but I've been to some fantastical places before, so I know those can be like reality, too.

[He tilts his head a little bit, thinking. Fun things to do...]

What's your favorite sort of thing to do here?

[tealeafs]

[ .. the girl pauses.

Then she starts blushing a little, awkwardly tugging on the bottom of the shirt he gave her, like she's a little nervous and therefore can't help but fret.. ]

Well, I guess that's.. spending time with my friends..

[ It sounds corny. And maybe a little stupid, compared to more interesting answers other people might give. That's why Chizuru is embarrassed as she voices the words.

On the other hand - it's just true. That is what she finds the most fun thing to do here. Anything else would be a lie in comparison. ]

[aetherweaver]

That's a wonderful thing to do.

[Maybe it's corny, but it's still lovely. That she's able to have friends here, people she feels comfortable spending time with? It's a wonderful thing.]

What sorts of things do you do with your friends? I know me and my friends tend towards exploring, but I think I might have to work a bit to find a good number of people willing to do that here...

[tealeafs]

[ Thankfully he doesn't make fun of her.. Just that by itself is a huge relief to Chizuru, though the girl still can't help but look a little flustered all the same while they're talking about this. ]

I don't really explore much with my friends.. [ Mostly since Chizuru tries to be a cautious girl! She wouldn't want to run into danger she can't deal with here! ] But we do other things..! I mostly really like drinking tea together with them here, it's so calming..

[ 'Here' obviously being Chizuru's living room they're sitting in. It does seem a little cozy.. ]

Or sometimes I'll join them in their hobbies instead as a way to spend time.

[aetherweaver]

Tea sounds like a lovely time. You've made this place really homey.

[Maybe some people would take that as a bad thing, but he means it as a genuine compliment.]

I... met most of my friends through adventuring, so that's why I tend towards exploring. I'm looking forward to exploring Trench, too -- it seems like there's a lot just waiting to be discovered.

[His tail twitches in excitement, and his ears wiggle with joy.]
