[Maybe the attendants just sense that vibe rolling off of him because none of them stray too close. Then again they also hadn't been bugging Sarah either so she imagined it was half vibes and half "it's late and I can't be bothered". She wondered briefly if this place was even supposed to be accessible in the evening but there too she'd never gotten kicked out so...
His amusement is so dry she could almost cut herself with it. She laughs a little, dry as well but softer and maybe a little more sardonic in nature.]
Queens. Upper Nyack isn't dramatic enough for a king.
[Not that one needs drama to have one but in her experience? Being dramatic seems to help. Not that the Emperor seemed dramatic or she imagined the Priestess but this was all for the sake of a joke.]
Mm, that didn't make much sense either. Claiming the Priestess just wanted to destroy our worlds was far too easy to do and yet not caring about this one but caring about ours doesn't make much sense either. They said this was a place of Gods as well, connected to our worlds through that. And I can believe that because those woods... there was something about them.
[Her voice trails off a little. They felt dark, deep and old, as if something stalked through it's trees and over it's ground and held domain there. It was the feeling that she really shouldn't be there and yet she couldn't help but be in awe of it too.]
They mentioned our worlds drew power from this one. If they simply leave this world to die... wouldn't our worlds follow eventually too?
[It's not that she cares deeply about this world. No, she wouldn't want to see it destroyed if she could help it but that's just the kind of person she is. In the grand scheme of things it's her world she wants to save and if it's connected to this one, well, it stands to reason it could be harmed too in just abandoning this place.
She muses a moment, turns her pen over in her hands as she studies it and says near the same thing she admitted to Lightning days ago. It's odd to say it out loud but hell, people here were from so many different places that she was pretty sure the danger in being looked at like she was crazy was minimal.]
I was fifteen the first time I ended up in another world. Or realm, whichever you want to call it. So that's where I met my first King.
