And it's not right.



P'rihnn is honestly not sure what happened. One moment he had been fighting Zenos - or rather, Elidibus in Zenos' skin - and the next he was here. He vaguely remembers being hit by a powerful headache and seeing Elidibus approach him as if for a decisive blow, but the voice that had called him didn't seem quite the same as before. Was this how it had been for the others? For the Scions? Did his body lie on the ground in the Ghimlyt Dark, soul torn away? And for this?

He looks around his surroundings, frown growing deeper and deeper as he realises he hasn't the slightest clue where he is. There is no place he knows with such dense, purple foliage... and the light shining down on him is strangely oppressive, though he can't say why.

Fortunately he can see a nearby structure, and what looks like it might be a path. He can vaguely make out something beyond the trees, too, so... that way, then. After checking to make sure he still has his chakrams, just in case, P'rihnn makes his way to the wooden structure, looking around him to see if he can spy someone he can question.

Felih is hauled off by P'rihnn, but even now he can't help but glance back over his shoulder at the mysterious crystalline figure behind the barrier. Ears low, gaze heartbroken and tired, before he gives in and follows the other Miqo'te out of the Tower.

He feels a bit guilty for the thought, but he's almost glad P'rihnn ended up getting pulled along with him to this world. Having to go through all this alone would crush him...

He follows where P'rihnn leads, staying close, shaken and feeling drained and exhausted. This was real, then. He was on another world, far from home and loved ones, trying to stop a threat he knows so little about. P'rihnn's company is his only solace. Even if the other man is a stranger, at the very least, he is a Warrior of Light who understands what he's been through.

"...I suppose we should start poking around, then," he murmurs.

"No, I- I'll get to work. I'm fine," Felih insists, with a small shake of his head. "The more information we have, the more likely this is going to end well, and... the sooner we can get home, presumably," he says, before taking a deep breath and straightening up, trying to perk himself up so he doesn't look so miserable to the city's inhabitants. He needs to be his usual cheery self if he's going to be able to chit-chat.

"Let's get to work, then," he says. "There's plenty of folk out and about to talk to."

And off they go. Felih spends quite a lot of time making playful banter with the curious (and slightly wary) denizens of the Crystarium, trying to win and charm them over, though he often finds himself having to apologize or smooth over P'rihnn's behavior. The other man is terribly rough in every sense- mannerisms, words, speech... It makes Felih's blood pressure rise from fretting about the man making enemies where they don't need any.

By the time they finally retired for the... night? (It's hard to tell, with the sky being so endlessly bright.) Felih is glad to finally just have a place to sit and rest and bathe.

"...you could do with being a bit more gentle and kind with folk," Felih eventually says, from where he's soaking in the bathtub and washing himself clean behind the privacy screen.

"We could get more information if you weren't putting people off," Felih pouts, his tail swishing in the water before he rinses himself off and stands, draining the tub before using some conjury to dry himself off, leaving his hair silky and his tail fluffy. He does wrap himself with a towel for modesty's sake, and finally frees up the bath for P'rihnn to use.

"Rough is fine so long as you keep it to the bedroom. Otherwise, just try to make nice?" Felih teases, with a wry smile. "Or at least just try not to openly antagonize folk so much. Besides, charm can be learned, too. I bet you just never gave it a real shot."

"...P'rihnn, don't splash water all over the place, I'm trying to keep it clean," Felih whines, with another deep sigh as he goes and sits, still just in a towel, now taking his turn to eat some food. He needs some food in him, and the fish and vegetables are especially welcome- though the instant Felih sees fruit, he's starting to pick it all clean.

"...I don't know what to think. He won't be open with us, the people are just as wary of him as they are admiring of him, and no one truly seems to know much of him at all- especially where he came from and how! He's been here for a century at least- and he says the tower's been like this a thousand years..."

"Not to mention, there's not much he told us about your predicament, or why it is that you remember your Scions falling soulless while I remember my companions being hale and whole at home." His ears droop.

"...I'm sorry. Supposedly you were dragged along because of me."

"Yes, but now we have to mop it up!" Felih says back, fluffy tail twitching and swishing as he finishes up his dinner. He's fine with the silence, still trying to get used to his new adventuring companion. But the more he has to think on the Exarch, the more unnerved and anxious he feels.

"...I think he knows. But I think he chose not to say so," he says with a sigh. "Admitting your arrival was a mistake was probably already difficult enough, I gather. He's probably trying to sort out if he knows how to fix it."

"The people trust him. He's been a protector, a source of guidance and knowledge, but they're still wary since they don't know anything of him as a person. I suppose I feel just as wary because of it."

Felih blinks curiously over in P'rihnn's general direction for a bit, even if he can't actually see the man.

"Is that so...? So he sounded younger, and stronger, to you? The voice I heard always seemed so faint... like whispers trying to cross the void," he murmurs. "Growing stronger with each call, until I found my way here."

"I wonder if- well... if we truly both are Warriors of Light, then- then we exist, perhaps, on different reflections of the same shard, but where each of us was the respective reflection's Warrior... and things are developing differently in your own?"

Being well-mastered in the arcane arts and many aetherical studies, such topics and ideas are fun exercises for him, but he never expected to have to apply such wild, fantastical ideas to real life. "If that logic follows, then perhaps your own version of the 'Exarch' was trying to summon you- but yours must be someone stronger. Perhaps, in the crossing of rifts, we caught each other and I ended up dragging you here...?"

"If my conjecture is right, I can only wonder why it is that your Exarch and mine are so different... yours, presumably stronger, and mine... feeble, and weak," Felih murmurs quietly, anxiously. Such thoughts of different reflections, of timelines and alternate universes, of infinite possibilities and the ever-looming terror that Felih will be the one to doom it all.

At least P'rihnn can distract him with talk of the Scions. He's already concerned enough as it is, listening as he goes and gets into nightclothes, before his tail bristles and puffs up.

"He took the twins?!" The way his voice sharpens is already sign enough of how distressed the mere thought makes him. "It's bad enough to steal away the other Scions- but the twins!"

"Ah- Gaius...! Then, it must have happened at that time, for you..." Felih murmurs. "I was worried sick! That optimistic fool- going off to Garlemald on his own, even though I objected! We had a horrid fight- but hells, I was so relieved when Gaius returned him to us later on. Turns out he had stumbled upon the wreckage of the ship..."

He bites his lip. "I- no, I understand. We need to get you where you should be. You to yours, me here in mine. We have our own battles to fight," he says, walking over to the bathing area with a sigh, pouting as he has to use more conjury to clean up the mess of water P'rihnn has splashed everywhere.

"You're making a slipping hazard," comes the sigh.

Felih gives P'rihnn a look when the other flicks water at him, and stands up to go tidy up the mess of water he's dripped and splashed everywhere. It's extra conjury, but he'd rather keep things tidy than just leave them as is.

"It's dirty water, and we have to keep our chambers clean," Felih insists, the healer's tail swishing irritably. "Don't you know how important cleanliness is?"

But he sighs a little, finishing up the chore, before he gives a lazy stretch and pulls the curtains shut to keep out the endless light so they could at least get some sleep. Were it not for the clocks, he'd have no sense of time, in this strange world...

"I suppose. I just wonder what changed to make him different," he murmurs, "But we'll just have to keep at it for now. Where do we even begin, in this place? Sin Eaters seem to be the main concern, being light-tainted monsters akin to voidsent..."

"You're ridiculous," Felih sighs as he sees P'rihnn's attempt to try and splash him again. Still, seeing him flop and sprawl over the bed makes him pout, and he goes over to join him, making a point to push him over a little.

"Make room. Looks like we need to share," he huffs, before staring up at the ceiling.

"I want to know more about him. Why and how he came here, how he's come to know of us- how he decided we were the best way to handle this crisis. How he even drew us here..." he murmurs, before rolling onto his side and curling up a little. "Remember that some of the guards mentioned the Eaters following 'leaders' of a sort? The Wardens? Mayhap we should go after them first."

"Yes... with folk keeping such close eyes on Sin Eater movements, it ought to be much easier to track down those things," Felih says with a sigh. "Much easier than information about the Exarch. But perhaps we'll get lucky, along the way. Surely, there must be folk across the realm who have treated with him, or something..."

He still idly thwacks P'rihnn's leg with his fluffy tail, just to annoy him back for the endless sassing. At least the dark in the room is making it easier for him to let his tired body drift off...

"...nn. Should I set a carbuncle to guard?" he muses. "Or I could summon Holly again, too." Felih is apparently quite the paranoid sort.

"...I just don't know how much I trust any of this," Felih murmurs quietly, but P'rihnn's attempt to cheer him up does coax a smile onto his lips, even if it's weak.

"Though, I suppose you're right. Two Warriors of Light are better than one," he replies, relaxing just a little. Still, he does manifest a carbuncle- a huge golden topaz one easily the size of a coeurl, which gives a big stretch before it yips and goes to dutifully stand guard at the door to their chambers.

"Let's try to get some rest, and hopefully tomorrow we can... try hunting down more information about these Wardens."

(Unfortunately for P'rihnn, he will soon discover Felih is quite a cuddler in his sleep. Curling up close and cozy- or attempting to, anyway, subconscious as the motions are.)
