[ Everyone loves a Hilda Goneril party! And even if they didnโt, surely that had to be a better prospect than everything sheโd heard about what the pit had been like. ]
[ She doesnโt think sheโs heard of anything of the sort in Fodlan, even in the books sheโs read that sheโll claim she never has because theyโre simply too dry for her liking. ]
The reunion part sounds great, it's just the 'grand' that's scaring me.
[Seeing a friendly face is a very nice thought, but he has terrible--but funny--mental images of surprise parties and people singing happy birthday in restaurants and other such events.
And how is he going to explain dinosaurs? Give him a brief moment to dredge up the concentration to made this maybe make sense.]
Yeah, they were animals that used to live in my world, but it was millions of years before humans. We just find their bones sometimes now. They're kind of like giant lizards? But they're actually birds.
[...Maybe he should thought about this description a little longer after all.]
[ That is a fair enough statement. Not everyone wanted to be the centre of attention after all. But a grand surprise party isn't what she had in mind. ]
That's true. I definitely won't object to a cake of any size.
[Aside from having strong opinions on coffee, he doesn't typically put much thought into food. But after all of this, a cake sounds amazing.]
Uh, kind of, yeah. Some look like wyverns and dragons, but they don't have wings. Some do have wings but don't look like dragons. There's also one that looks like it's got a duck face on a lizard body.
[This is surely clearing up any confusion. He'll have to make a terrible drawing for her later, or even better, conjure one up in the Horizon.]
[ The food situation hasn't been great down there. Even if they're so close to getting them out of there, the last thing she wants to do is make it worse somehow by making him think about food. ]
[Both because he doesn't want to think too much about food and because he's actually not sure what the answer is. Also who knows; maybe this world has some weird cake flavors he's never even thought of, and he'd miss out if he picked something boring.]
Hey, save calling me a liar for when I tell you about platypuses. Unless you have those in your world, in which case you shouldn't be too surprised by weird things with duck faces.
[ It's not simply for his benefit either; Hilda loved crafting surprises as much as she enjoyed receiving them.
There's a moment before her next message goes through. Petra has burst through the doors herself and there's a flurry of activity as they throw things they might need into bags. She knows that the next couple of hours will likely be filled with preparation and as reluctant as she is to cut off communication, she'd rather Jayden focus his energies on himself. ]
[The short delay doesn't alarm him, but he does notice it. It's easy enough to figure out, combined with her last message, that it's time to go and so he keeps his own response simple.]
Yeah. Be careful yourself, and see you on the other side.
