Evie
tell me all of the things
that make you feel at ease
The girl seems confused, and rightfully wary. Evie waits for her to make some sort of decision - to run off screaming perhaps, or just answer her question. Both seem like rather appropriate responses for the situation at hand, if Evie was in her shoes. Not that she has much experience with this, but she can't just...sit by and ignore the fact that this poor girl has suddenly had her life turned upside down. Something in her expression, her tone, or her words must convince the beautiful teenager that she's safe. Or at least capable of being trusted temporarily. And lo and behold, Evie has a name. And also an entire slew of information and rambling that pierces through her heart and infects it with a slow, agonizing poison. How do people do it? How do people intentionally visit the Spire to check for these lost souls without going home every night and crying at the unfairness of it all? It's Evie's first time and she's already feeling emotional.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone else around here. I think you came through alone." Which of course raises the question Senu is sure to ask next. Well, not precisely. But she does ask a lot of other questions pertaining to the answer sitting nervously on Evie's tongue. Fussing with her copper hair, fingers flexing nervously around the strands, she tries to fumble through the right course of action in her mind.
"You're not dead, no. You're in...a different place. We call this land Caido. Senu, where you come from, is there anything such as magic?" Maybe that would be an easier starting point than simply saying 'hey you got chucked through a random magic portal, welcome to Caido!'
