"How curious. You're the first of your kind I've seen."

Yone almost mumbled. His one visible eye was trained on the seamstress' features. The other, hidden behind the mask viewed a scene that Yone couldn't place completely. This was beyond even his expertise.

"Who- or what, are you?"

"Who or what am I?" she repeats, her voice barely more than a whisper. She takes a slow step forward, the only sound the soft swish of her attire. Her smile is faint, tinged with a sadness that suggests she understands the weight of his question more deeply than he might realize.

"There is no simple answer," she says, her tone both soft and knowing. "I am a thousand things... and yet, none of them at all." Her gaze shifts briefly, distant as if caught in a memory, before returning to Yone with a quiet intensity.

"But perhaps the question is not about what I am." She closes the distance between them, her voice lowering to a steady murmur. "The real question is... who are you?"

“... You can’t say anything, specially when you have your own!”

Yone has opened a book and a dictionary Shuriman/Ionian next to it. He is trying to translate.

-kazeton

The Magus noted his new 'guest' reading, and silently moved closer to inspect the contents... As if Xerath's presence was in any way subtle. While he didn't known the Ionian language, Xerath did, however, recognize Shuriman text almost instantly. "...You study the local tongue?"

Oh, no. Had he just avoided... That question? Or, was that just the Lunari’s impression? Anyway, she looked elsewhere, utterly clueless about what to do.

«It wasn’t... Regarding social matters... It was mostly about my... Uh... Appearance...! My physical appearance...?»

She blinked a few times, sighing.

«I mean... Does my appearance look... Acceptable, in your opinion? Like... Do I look... Okay...? Uh...»

"Why not knitting, Yasuo." Yone said, appearing quietly. He's been practicing his own wood carving when along or after hunts. It calmed his nerves and gave his mind something to focus on, other than the endless hunt and hunger. He glanced at Yasuo's fingers. "Brother... you need to be more careful. I thought I was very clear about sharp objects back when we were young." Was that a hint of amusement in his voice? -kazeton

Yasuo let out a small sigh before putting down his knife and scratching the back of his head. “I thought about knitting, but I fear the results will just end up being the same. Plus, should I have the misfortune of spilling my blood onto my craft, wood is easier to clean it off of then fabric.” He’d look off into the distance for a moment. “Heh, you still treat me like a child.” He began to smile. “You did often warn me about sharp objects, still, despite my failings I’ve gotten better. Just a shame my natural talents couldn’t translate into things that would be useful during times of peace. Hm... I’ll still pursue this for a bit, though maybe I can dabble in knitting while my hands are recovering from this.”

Gwen’s eyes softened as she watched Yone, her hands instinctively clasping together to steady her heart. She could see the weight of his words; the threads of his past, so tightly woven into the very fabric of who he was, seemed to pull at him in ways she knew all too well.

"I think you’ve already done more good than you realize, Yone." Gwen’s voice was calm, her eyes reflecting the truth in her words. "Even in the darkest of places, a spark of light can still be found. You’ve held onto that light, Yone, even if you don’t see it yourself. I'd like to think that's what people need more than anything. Not the promise of perfection, but the courage to continue moving forward, despite the darkness around them."

Gwen paused, her expression thoughtful, her hands now lightly resting over her heart as she considered her next words carefully. "As for spreading ideals..." She gave a small laugh, a glimmer of something mischievous in her eyes. "I might not be the best at speeches, but if there's one thing I do know, it's that sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of faith to remind others they’re not alone. I think you might have more to offer than just words, Yone. Maybe your story is part of that light."
