Elizabeth
"Fair enough." She laughs playfully, aware that the rain is only the beginning of the Greatwood's magical qualities. The slight movement of her head turns into a nod as she's taking another bite of the chowder, reminiscing on her childhood with a fond smile. "It was. But I decided I wanted to be like the people in Halo. They're strong, resilient, unshakable - more so than other areas of Caido." She tilts her head to think for a second, like she's made a curious discovery. "Maybe that's why I still don't quite fit in." The laugh that follows isn't self-deprecating or whining, just a gentle recognition of her own qualities that haven't quite adapted to the cold, unforgiving environment.
Appreciative of the distraction from her analytical thoughts, Elizabeth accepts Niki's offer of lobster, leaning forward to snag a small bite. Silently gesturing her approval of his choice, she perks at the mention of the Spyglass. "Oh! I've heard the view is amazing, although I have yet to see it myself. It has to be worth the effort of getting up." She doesn't know the extent of his capabilities, but it seems appropriate to encourage him, even if it might be difficult.
Similarly, she grants a warm smile when he comments on his achievements thus far. "You certainly have. There's no doubt in my mind that you would find a way to enjoy it - maybe share a meal with another stranger." There's a twinkle in her eyes as she switches back to the calamari, shrugging her shoulders as she offers, "But if you need a travel buddy, I end up going everywhere for work, so feel free to reach out - if you want the company."
