Elizabeth
Sharing in his smile, Elizabeth hums her deep understanding. "Mmm. The rain does have a certain magical quality about it." She might even call it 'romantic' with how it gently encourages people to cuddle inside, lulling them with the quiet rhythm of raindrops. It's less harsh than snow, but just as effective in creating cozy environments; plus, any romance book worth its weight has a heart wrenching kiss in the rain. If she hadn't picked Halo for its people, she might have been drawn to the Greatwood.
Alas, it's no surprise when Niki assumes incorrectly, and her smile is no less warm. "No apologies necessary." She steals another bite of the calamari, bobbing her head as she explains, "I grew up traveling all over Caido with my parents. My dad focused on history while my mom studied the plants. I only recently settled in Halo when they retired here in Torchline." Although, 'recently' might be a little liberal considering how long it's been, but it still feels like she only just moved to the region.
Elizabeth does her best not to slip into 'therapist mode,' but it's never really off, so when she hears his plan, she's already running through the pros and cons of the floating city along with what it means for his progress in venturing out. Smiling her encouragement, she reaches for another bite of her clam chowder. "I think that's a good step. Still close enough to go home, but a great way to see something new. You'll be able to see a lot from there." And maybe it would give him an idea of where to visit next. Raising an inquisitive brow, she asks, "Are you going to travel alone? Or maybe with your friend?"
