Minfillia's eyebrows shot up a little high at the sound of a fellow person in the kitchen. They quickly furrowed seeing Iriste up and around. "You! should be resting! Why are you up so early?" Minfillia chided in a soft tone, setting the kettle down before she could worry over her coffee for the morning.

There’s a CURIOUS smile on Aerith’s features as she approaches the newcomer. This world is full of surprises; there are always new people around. Some are coming from the same word, and some don’t know each other at all. It’s special. Aerith is friendly by nature, so of course, she’s always more than happy to talk with these new people. 

Retired life was interesting. Mainly because it was more of the same, just with less pressure as she was no longer bearing the weight of 'Azem' on her shoulders. One could argue (and did) that she never took it seriously anyway. Venat had. Yet her occasional clashes with the former Convocation members hadn't won her any favors. the woman spent little time thinking or reminiscing on it as she found herself swept from one adventure to another.

What she did often find herself pondering was what her student and the current Azem was up to. What were her adventures like? What did she think of the world? What was her favorite sight? Had she met any new and interesting people in her travels? Such questions came to her when she was alone and wanting for something to do.

The woman jumped at the opportunity to invite Astraea for a cup of tea at their favorite cafe in Amaurot the first time their paths crossed. Rare that it was for them to do so, but Venat may have heard a whisper or two of warning from certain individuals, allowing her to free up her schedule in advance.

"Azem," she greeted genially as Astraea walked in at the appointed time. Her sky-colored eyes sparkled with happiness as they landed on the other woman. Her heart swelled with pride that she could scarcely contain. Somehow, she would manage, if only to prevent any embarrassment.

They’re Girlfriends, Your Honor 

“E’mrys,” she began, oddly serious and somber before clearing her throat. “I have been meaning to ask you if you would be interested in joining the Free Company. I would like it if you did. I do consider you as part of Zenith, so it would make me happy and honored if you would be part of it officially.”

The question left him stunned, eyes wide and ears stuck at rapt attention. E'mrys had only the best impression of the Free Company Romeo was a part of thanks in no small part to his beloved's stories of it. And of course there was his friendship with Iriste herself to further that good impression. Despite that, however, he had never been confident enough to ask if he might join the group.

So to be invited?

It was quite the surprise indeed.

"Truly?"

“Where the hell am I?” he remembered opening up a book called ‘final fantasy’ but then everything after that??? A blur. After that flash of light the only thing he COULD remember was feeling the gentle breeze as he stood within the wilderness., nothing but grasslands and the wall of a rather large society that’s probably a day’s trip from his location. Granted Yusuke had been oblivious that his entrance within this world might have garnered some attention as his body showed up after a rather brilliant flash of light. “Well, not gonna find my way back just bitchin’ about the problem.” He tucks his hands into the pockets of his jacket and strolls forward to begin his adventure.
