Everybody sour like a lemon tree
Kaisel might know more than most what she's gone through. Not from experience, just proximity and family, but even he can't fathom the true extent. Koa might know the most, and Kaisel has long wondered if it's played a role in Koa's more withdrawn nature of late. The Family might be gone, but their effects have lingered, tight and toxic against his family. He's still sure that's why Stormbreak fell too. Some kind, parting gifts.
Offering her a small smile to hear it, though his happiness should not be measured by the shape of his mouth alone, Kaisel nods in genuine glee. "Had me scared there for a while," he confesses, and it only seems worth doing so now, to her, now that she's bested it. That she has even more on this front, surprises him, and he appropriately leans in to attentively listen. Settke is indeed a mild shock, because all the while she's been here, and he expected it to stay that way. "Let me guess, that cue place in Ahi Coast, with the yellow neighbor house?" They walked by it sometimes. She doesn't leave him hanging though, and as she advises him to hear her out, he promptly seals his mouth shut and fucking keeps it that way. He's had one too many surprises 300-style kick him off a ledge, so he means to do nothing more than hang on and listen to this one. He's glad for it to, because the desert sounds fucking awful. Does she know how much sand is there? A LOT.
He can see the pattern of satisfaction streaking across her features, and that's what he decides to focus on most of all. "That is awesome, Noe," he says after a smile and the pause to digest it all and form a reply that isn't incredulous and taken aback. "That sounds...hard," he admits, a touch of a frown coming in as he considers the vast nothingness out there. "But, really worthy of what you can do. I hope you build some cool shit. And definitely get travel spots up and going so I can come visit!"

Kaisel
I'm just smiling down upon my enemies
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
