Rexanna gives him a knowing nod in response to his comment of her being here. After all, it got her this far, to realize the things she liked and didn’t like, to move on and evade. An escape of sorts. But at the mention of Edrei, she nods to that with understanding too. A party like that with no Edrei was like a fish with no water. Still, she smiles to Loren a bit sadly. “We did. Maybe next time you can come along too.” She shrugs, though a bit of a light glimmers in her eye at that. “We’ve lost a few members. Lucas died the day we opened that portal.” She says quietly, thinking back in the Mathair and what they had done to it. The tree that had jutted its branch out, straight through his system.
It was sad, really.
But she explains the rollercoaster next, and she nods when he grasps the concept. “It did.” She says with a bit of a smile. “We spent our first night here last year. In the closet of the Rathskeller. Just as friends, but I was drunk out of my mind and he wanted to make sure I didn’t get sick or die or something.” She shrugs, her memory fuzzy on it. “And then he disappeared, and we all thought he died. There was a funeral and everything once Longnight was over. But one day he just… showed up at my doorstep. I guess he had disappeared during Longnight to Ascend without telling anyone.” She glances to him with a slight smile. They had been friends at that point. And she had been Bastien’s first bite.
