She was surprised by the touch, turquoise eyes blinking for a moment before she relaxed. She was still getting adjusted to the environment ( socially, at least ), and the fact that the other didnāt shrink away meant he was either a stranger to who she was or blind to her features. From the way he spoke, he already reminded her of Keritzel a bit. Maybe a little less nerdy.
āThey call this place Eidolon, but Iām sure youāve heard of that, right?ā Her breath billowed out before her.Ā Sheād been doing some offhand chores ( out of goodwill, no less ), and it showed from the bundle she had been carrying between the buildings. āYouāre not the only one that arrived here like this⦠I did too, some time ago. Itās definitely away from home, if thatās what youāre wondering.ā
She shifted, lifting the bundle and continuing to finish the chore, stacking the materials at a designated shed before returning to the conversation.
āVeloce. Pleasureās all mine. Anyways⦠Itās not uncommon for people here to be from different worlds, or so they say. ā
Eidolon. Thatās right. Definitely a strange name for a...different world, he supposes. Of course, Zack himself has never been to a different world before now, only knowing the planet of Gaia. Being a member of SOLDIER, he once had the privilege of travelling all across the world, doing what he thought was right to try and keep the peace. He realizes now that Shinra never really had the planetās...best interests in mind, nor did they seem to care about the people working for them, unless of course theyāre high up, like the Turks. Hojo...now thereās someone he canāt stand. What he did to Cloud and him, but especially Cloud, was unforgivable. But it seems as though he canāt do anything about it now.
Regardless, Zack brings himself back to the present after being lost in thought for what feels like forever, though itās probably only been a few seconds. This girl definitely seems friendly enough and obliging in giving him the info he desires, and thus he gives her a friendly smile while casually kicking at the ground beneath him.
āEidolon...yeah, I think I remember that name being mentioned. I guess kinda just...abruptly finding ourselves here is a thing that a bunch of the folks here have in common, right? Canāt say Iāve ever been to another world, but Iām definitely not a stranger to new environments.ā He takes a moment and nods slightly while extending his hand in introduction, his smile still unwavering. Itās been quite a while since heās made a friend, honestly.Ā āVeloce, huh? Gotta say, itās nice that my first run in with someone here isnāt hostile or anything. But anyway, you seem to be onto something there. Definitely lots of kinds of people that I havenāt seen before. Back in my world, Gaia, Iām from a little village called Gongaga.ā he says, taking a moment to remember his hometown. Mom, Dad... I hope you guys are okay.
āWell, anyway, I eventually got the chance to travel all over the world, helping people as best as I could in this group Iām...well, once was in, called SOLDIER. Never thought Iād get to go to other worlds like this... But enough about me, whatās your world like, Veloce?ā
