Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pendour met Scholomance's gaze evenly despite the look he was giving her. She was secure in the knowledge that she was probably going to be wrong in most of her initial assessments of things, and that wasn't something to be ashamed of. After all, she was trying to piece things together as they came up. It was truth that she hadn't seen anything too terrible yet, but the more they talked, the more she realized that was just from dumb luck.

Still, she was up for more information about space and the history or all this, which was the puzzle she was more happily trying to put together. Scholomance didn't seem like too much of an expert on it either, but she perked up when he started giving her those half remembered rumors and grabbed onto the new tidbits, committing what she could to memory.

"I was not expecting you to say that all this is because someone was having relationship problems," she said with a twitch in her lips. She pulled up her legs in the more proper way, knees to the side, but it was still cozier and looked like she was ready for some sleepover gossip. "History repeats itself, but it has its ways to keep you on your toes. That's really interesting. Well, interesting is..." she trailed off, lips pressing into a thin line.

"So much has been destroyed. Lives, stories, planets. That's more than I can even imagine existing. Even I'll admit it- that's just beyond terrible. Beyond words." Her voice cracked.

She took a deep breath. "But then there's the fact that there's so much out there, even now, and more if we look into the history of things. That's truly interesting, and it's beautiful, too. Then, if I could find out something useful or help, somehow, restore things, maybe. She closed her eyes. "I'd love to heal the universe." That had always been her dream, since she was little, but now there was so much more. "At least, as a knight I have a corner of it, and Destiny City counts, too."

She arched her back in a stretch and smiled. "So, there's some idealism to balance things. Are you ready for food?"

"True. I guess wars don't tend to start overnight," she murmured as she began the long journey of getting out of her nice, cozy position. She was far from an expert on military history, but she thought wars tended to be over resources and only nominally about things like honor. It was a shame that Scholomance was only guessing about the actual reasoning. It seemed worth looking into. "It's odd that what got passed down to us was the tabloid magazine version." She shook her head, but perked back up when he seemed to have more solid knowledge about restoring planets.

"Really? Just spending time there is all it takes? That's even easier than I thought, then," she said, but she stopped herself from going too far down the road of theorizing about space when he stood up. Right. After all this he definitely deserved some food.

Pendour was already halfway up but she took his hand anyway and didn't immediately let go once she had found her feet. Since it seemed she wouldn't have much time before things went downhill for her, she would appreciate the feeling of being a tea party princess with the other well dressed people as her friends for as long as it lasted.

"Oh, um, I can get you some alcohol, too. Sure," she said. It wasn't that strange of a request, really, although it wasn't what she was expecting. Scholomance hadn't been what she was expecting from a knight, either, but she decided she liked that about him. What if they ended up in a bar instead of a fast food restaurant? Wouldn't that be exciting?

She smiled. "Well, then, I'll follow you."
