Heaven, huh... not exactly what I expected. The air smells so fresh, though... kinda wild. It's nothing like Earth.

...I like it.

Edge better have made it through.

Edge?

Sir, am I mistaken in asking if you know Edge Maverick?

[noteatingcrowes]

Yeah, that's who-

....

Wait, Faize!?

[faizedout]

You know me as well?

[noteatingcrowes]

You don't remember? I'm Crowe, Edge's friend! We met on Aeos.

[faizedout]

Unfortunately, I seem to have been brought here from earlier than everyone else I know. You were not on Aeos when I was there, but I do recognize your name. Edge has been searching all over for you, though it seems that if we have met, he must have found you.

[noteatingcrowes]

Brought... from earlier? How does that work? We did meet, I remember it well. You came with me to the Aquila not too long ago.

[faizedout]

Sarah and the other Eldarian seem to remember things I do not. I remember being on the way to save Sarah, but she recalls her rescue, among other things. It is a strange phenomena. It would seem that you were ahead of me as well.

At any rate, I am honored to meet you, Mr. Crowe, even if it is my second first time in doing so. Edge thinks quite highly of you. You say I was able to join you on the Aquila? Did we all go?

[noteatingcrowes]

Hm... it's strange to imagine, but I trust you, Faize - I won't question it. I talked to Arumat already, so I have an idea of what's going already.

Actually, you joined the Aquila on your own. You had good reason for it... I just wish I'd been more help.

[faizedout]

It is quite unusual, but perhaps not uncommon here. It's something I should probably look into. Is Arumat the other Eldarian who is here? I never got his name.

I did? How strange. I must have had good reason for leaving Edge, as I promised to stay by his side. I'm sure you must have done all that you could, but I'm afraid I know nothing of the situation beyond vague hints that others have left me.

[noteatingcrowes]

Yeah, that's Arumat. It's no surprise that you don't know him - he was with me until we reunited on Aeos, and he joined Edge's crew when you left.

I think you're better off not knowing the details right now, Faize. Edge understood, though, so don't worry about any broken promises.

[faizedout]

I have seen him briefly twice, and he knows of me, but that's as far as my experience goes. I am glad he is friends with Edge.

... Is it really that bad? I gather that something is being hidden from me, and I am not sure I wish to know what it is. It seems there is little I can do but accept the sorrow from those like yourself and Sarah, and I wish to be able to alleviate that. You need not be concerned for my sake.

[noteatingcrowes]

Arumat's a good guy, even if he is a little blunt. You can trust him.

Faize... listen. It's not an easy story to hear, so it might be best if you don't know about it. As long as we're stuck in this place, it's not something we should be worrying about.

[faizedout]

He seems like a noble Eldarian. No matter what I think, he is my brethren, and I will trust him for that.

... I see. You're right. There's no point worrying about here, since there is nothing I can do about it at present.

[noteatingcrowes]

Yeah, that's exactly right.

So you're here, and Arumat's here, and you mentioned Sarah - another one of Edge's friends, right? Anyone else you know?

[faizedout]

Yes. Sarah is a Featherfolk we met on Roak. She helped us find a cure for Reimi's stone sickness while we were traveling there. Those are the only two I have heard from during my stay here.

[noteatingcrowes]

Roak? Stone sickness? Sounds like I missed a lot while I was off doing my own thing.
