@bahamutruler uttered: "I sympathize with you. I do. So much of us has been lost."
[ UNFAMILIAR. ] was their intonation & yet marked a sentiment he knew all too well. Such words would pluck the Ascian from his shadowy perch & to lean in with an ANTICIPATION, waiting again to hear this one speak. For what such a stranger brought to him, Eorzea & her fragments failed to do so for a millennia. Such a RARITY, such an oddity. But for that the Architect could not damn this new companion, this interloper. Nay, far from it. For but a moment his heartbeat fluttered & pulse ran high. Alone, gods he was alone in his burden. Even amoung unsundered brethren, they hardly understood. To each & their own a motive that differed though yet landed the same mark. FOR ZODIARK. But for him, for his people.
[ LIPS. ] twitched up ‘pon a smile that betrayed the relief & MIRTH that washed over him. For once, Emet would find consolation & conversation in another. The GILDED tones flickering about o’er & o’er the oddity’s features. To use armor as a husk & tool while soul lies intangible. They too were not truly of corporeal flesh & bone. The very revelation elicit a faint chuckle that heaved from him. “You make a daring conjecture to my motive & work. Yet & oh so yet I do not find insult. Nay I dare say I find a temporary companion. But for you to know so much of my work leads me to find curiosity with yours. I am uttered my tale time & time again upon deaf ears, perhaps you’d regale me yours instead.”
