[ It seems to K'thisru that there is much and more that she needs to catch up on. While it was possible for her and her sister to travel between the First and the Source, in so many ways, it feels as though she has not properly spoken with the likes of Krile and Tataru in so very long. Oh, they talked, of course, but it was always out of need and with a sense of urgency.
She has so many stories to tell, some of sheer happiness and others of loss and sadness. But Tataru especially listens with rapt attention, and K'thisru is more than willing to share with her what happened on the First. She finds that it helps to talk about the friends that she made, because it makes her feel as though she is still close to them even now. Often, her thoughts wander to the people from the Inn at Journey's Head and how they are faring, especially Halric.
But now there are those here who need her attention and companionship, and there is one person in particular that her thoughts turn to quite often. She knows of him as the Crystal Exarch, the one who founded the Crystarium and the one who lead it as well. She may not have thought very favorably of him at first, but as time went by, her respect for him only grew because of his actions. And, yes, she strongly disliked his choices and his inclination to sacrifice himself, even if she understood the reasoning behind all of it.
At the end of it all, she realized that he was more than a friend and more than someone that she merely liked, but how foolish a thought was that? As the Exarch, he was so very old, having lived through so much. She imagined that in his eyes, she was a foolish kitten, barely capable of making it through life on her own.
Still, her regard for him had shifted as she got to know him, and when it came down to it and he turned into a crystal statue right in front of her, she could not help but feel terribly sad. She tried to hide it, but she knew full well that she had shed a few tears on that occasion.
But that was not the end of his story, and he was brought back, in a manner of speaking, and while all of it is a little complicated and hard for her to wrap her head around, all she knows is that G'raha Tia is awake and with them once more.
Now if she can only sort through how she feels about him and work out for herself whether or not they have a future together, if he even desires one with her in it.
As chance would have it, she walks into the Rising Stones just barely missing her older sister. They have things that they should talk about as well, such as what they intend to do now, but for the moment, there is a specific someone that she is looking for.
Her eyes sweep over the room, taking in the corridors and adjacent rooms, but soon enough, she spots him tucked away in a corner. ]
Well, this is not where I expected to find the great Crystal Exarch- I mean, G'raha Tia, newly awakened.
[ She manages to keep a straight face for about all of ten seconds before a wide smile practically bursts across her face. ]
