"I'm so glad to see you, brother!"

Eupha's wide smile couldn't be any more genuine as she greets Edeni warmly. It feels like it's been forever - far too long a time - since she last saw him, and while Eupha is still glad for the decision she made to brave the outside world with her new friends... she can't deny that she missed him a lot, too. It must've been even harder for him, she thinks - luckily, the gauntlet runner's handy teleportation function makes visiting easier than she could've imagined.

But in terms of what to talk about... where should she even start? She wonders how much news has made it's way to Edeni already about the events of the past few months. Fighting Louis, preventing a plan that would have doomed all of the Tribes for good... it's honestly staggering, thinking about it all now. Was she really one of the ones to help do all that? Eupha doesn't just want to talk about herself, though - she wants to know how Edeni has been doing; to talk to him about everything she hasn't had a chance to yet - no matter how many kinds of emotions those conversations might bring forth.

"Have you been doing well without me? I'm sure you must have so many questions. You- have been alright, haven't you?"

" would you like to talk about it ? " (To Eupha!) - @willcrowned

Eupha smiles at Will's words, already feeling a little better before she's even said a thing. After all, Will has always been there to listen to her whenever she's worried... she's always felt like as long as she's by his side, there's nothing she can't do - she can only hope that she's able to help him when he needs it, too.

With that smile, Eupha goes to talk - but hesitates for a moment, feeling that it's maybe a foolish worry after all. Still, that's no reason not to bring it up, right?

"I was just thinking... well. You know that I grew up on Eht Ria, and didn't have much contact with the outside world. And ever since I've joined you all, I've been so excited to learn everything I've been missing, and to find out more about other cultures and people I'd never met before."

This much, Will already knows.

"But lately, I've been worrying... am I too far behind everyone else?" As her expression becomes more troubled, Eupha's brow furrows as she tries to figure out exactly how to express what she means. "There's so much that I have yet to learn and so many things I don't understand... that sometimes I fear I'll never catch up. Often, I want to help people, or share my experiences with them, but what reason do they have to listen to someone who can't understand what they're going through?"
