Isla
"Oh, it has? I suppose being up in the sky means you're less likely to have anything appear from outside." Unless flying plants and winged void animals - but that seems almost worryingly likely at this point, so Isla doesn't say it. Instead, another smile blooms across her face to hear mention of Mateo, rounding her cheeks with cheer. "How is he doing?" she asks. "You two are quite good friends, right?"
Thoughts of her namesake somewhat topple the prospect of introducing apiaries to Stormbreak (perhaps the Celestine could have a zone for them, though?), and Isla leans gently back against the kitchen counter. Scrunching her nose and nodding her agreement, she gives one of the jars of honey a cursory pat. "I do remember what the region was like. It's a big step for Stormbreak, removing the Abandoned barrier."
It's Isla's turn to flush as Ever starts to list her Top 10 Greatest Achievements, the Remedy shaking her head quickly. "I wasn't fishing for compliments - but thank you," she says, clearing her throat and promptly straightening back up.
For the second time that evening she feels as though their meeting ought to have come to a natural conclusion - but then there are the two moons in the sky. A shadow passes over Isla's expression, and she approaches one of the kitchen windows with the shutters open to peek out. "It's worrying," she says of the pair of lights. "It reminds me of... gods, I don't know. Just of more dangerous times."
Glancing over her shoulder and happily distracted by the prospect of a partnership, she tilts her head. "I'd love to hear it, yes. The healing fountain here always makes me feel as though traditional efforts are a bit redundant, I'll admit."

sooner or later, we all have to wake
