[There is an aimlessness he can’t quite name that has chased him since he got here. Starting over is difficult. He did it once when he was ten, but he had been surrounded by love. And when he became content with his place in life it happened again. It’s hard not to feel frustrated when ripped from a place that had become home.

Frida the chocobo isn’t a horse. But her love is unconditional all the same. It’s all a Calvary knight can ask for. He lets her run while his mind is off somewhere else. He has been thinking about what to add to this place since he and Verso had a chat. At first beauty had seemed like a wonderful thing. But more and more some part of him just wants to go home. It is an ache in his chest he can’t let go of.

He and Frida sprint past the trolley car and down the side of the tracks, a flash of blue and purple. The wind pulls at him but it doesn’t smell right. He can’t drift to memory. Scenery flashes by until Frida comes to a stop in a grassy area by the sea. He lingers in the saddle for a moment. She looks back at him and he smiles.] It might not be so bad of a place for a valley. What do you think? I do value your opinion too.

[She looks out at the land around him. He guides her closer to the sea and drops off of her side with the ease of practice. He stands up and dusts himself off, glancing around once more.] Stables close to the wall of the valley. Keep you sheltered from storms. The vineyards need a good wind and the water over there, [He turns and points then he blinks, lifting his hand in a wave.] Well, letting the wind lead you?

Threaded | Flat

You know what's a novel thing? [ Verso answers a question with a question. His tone casual as though they had been talking to one another rather than this being the start of the conversation. ] The trolley comes on time.

[ Flicking his finger over his shoulder, he gestures to how he got to this patch of land. He does still have an affection for trains and did find some enjoyment in riding the trolley -- actually all of them. He liked not trying to get a lay of the land, but just partaking something he once enjoyed.

It was just the fact this area had nothing on it that he decided to wander through it. A bit of aimless wandering caught him, and it seems like he isn't the only one that it struck. His eyes drift to the oversized bird that is by Kaeya. Lifting his hand, he gives it a small wave and smile. ]

But I do think I've seen everything. Dragons, giant horseman with an equally giant and many-legged horse, and so I can't say I'm surprised to see a giant bird for riding, but I will say -- [ He shifts to him with a slight smile. ] -- hello.

Bit early to be wandering around dawn, hm?
