[ she just wants to take a moment to not have to worry about anything. it's true that neither of them are safe from this place, not really, but for a brief moment in time it doesn't have to feel like that.
so she'll just kind of vibe there, silently taking his offer to not talk about the most traumatizing thing she's ever seen, until she hesitantly speaks up again. ]
Well... I guess I can tell you, since I told Wolfwood earlier today, that I'm not one hundred percent human.
[ there isn't a normal human being on this entire team. ]
Yeah, it's-- a lot to take in. I know. [ even being a part of it, there was a lot going on, and a lot of things she won't even be able to explain, due to her own lack of knowledge.
but she knows where to start. ]
Daevas are fire beings. That's why, when Dara... [ she didn't want to talk about it but this is on her for bringing it up ] - That's why Dara turned to ash when he died. They don't have normal human bodies, even though they look like them.
I'm at least half. I'm not quite sure. [ she can't really be sad about not understanding her parentage since she's an orphan. it just muddies the waters and makes things more confusing. ] But there's still some human in me, so I pass well enough that no one suspected anything. I just got comments about my eyes a lot.
[ since they're jet black and unsettling for a lot of normies, but her icons don't really display this very well. ]
[ Vash is quiet at that, smiling at her apologetically. It's a sorry that they just circled back to that. ]
Plants, which is what I am... Nothing happens to them when they expire at the end of their normal lifespan, but if they're drained of all their energy, they blacken and wither. We usually don't look so human. My brother and I are different.
[ me sweating as I have to mention now that the back of Vash's hair is black, which is different from the blond at the beginning of the game. ]
I think your eyes are nice. They kind of remind me of Wolfwood's.
[ Who also has very dark eyes, kind of scary ones, too. ]
Plants... [ she rolls this information around in her mind. it isn't too hard to believe, after being whisked away to a land of magic where she's seen bird-men and literal fire-men and cursed creatures that live under the water. what's one more elemental being? ]
I can see how that'd be hard in the desert.
[ she's making a note of that withering comment, and his hair, but she can only be so rude and nosy at a time. besides, even if he does tell her oh yeah i'm dying btw - she doesn't really want to hear it. not now. but it's still a detail she'll tuck away for later.
the comment about her eyes gets her to soften up a bit. ]

[ He had not known... Vash truly here thinking he was the only weirdo in their team. ]
They were saying a lot of names in your memory, so I wasn't sure what was what...

Thank you... should I start wearing shades too?
no subject
[ Just so she doesn't think they sprung from nature. They're results for freaky science experiments. Good idea, Nahri. This week is fucked.
There's a snort. ]
Wolfwood might think you're making fun of him. He's a little sensitive.
no subject
So that's why you have so much energy? [ she's trying to lighten things a little - she means like a puppy. not. you know.
hm. maybe this isn't going over as well as she'd hoped.
at least they can talk about wolfwood instead. ]
--Really? But I think they make him look so mature and mysterious.
no subject
[ He will take it as it is because she isn't wrong... And he won't think about their memories at all. ]
Mature is a word for it, I guess. [ Hm. ] But if you do get sunglasses, then you'd match with us.

--I am feeling a little left out, though.

Were you thinking similar shades to his? Or maybe something with color?
no subject
I can get ones like yours!
[ pink ones.... rose colored ones, i daresay. ]

[ Strokes his chin. ]
What color were you thinking?
