[Huh. A touch of nostalgia is something that’s not entirely unfamiliar to her, at least in recent years, but… that little bit of sadness dwelling with it sure isn’t. She’s already half-realized what that probably means when he goes right ahead and confirms it.]

Oh. [A bit of surprise, not unlike discovering she’s gone and stepped on a rake.] That’s a shame. I’m sorry.

[A sincere sentiment, if not delivered a little awkwardly. Earnestness in this sort of regard isn’t exactly her strong suit. It casts some interesting light on that last conversation she’d had with Quetzalcoatl, who seemed certain things weren’t quite through in that last incarnation of her world. And this was even with their people being gone? Or is there another piece of the puzzle missing here?

In the end, Gavial supposes it doesn’t matter.]

But yeah, I guess I’m glad there could be some good news in one corner of the universe, at least. [A beat.] Or, well. I guess that’s kinda relative, huh? Considering that the whole reason we’re all here is that everything back in our homes is kinda… gone.

[She’d been not fully convinced of it for a long time, sure, but with as long as she’s been here now, it sorta starts taking on a different light.]
