[After an evening of wandering around and searching for people, as well as answers about this place, Fran arrived at her suite wondering about something she'd been feeling ever since she arrived - and is still feeling, really.

So, why not ask the other people trapped here?

The video feed turns on, revealing a rabbit-eared woman. Her expression is neutral, though her ears twitch ever-so-slightly before she speaks.]

I am curious. Is anyone familiar with the nature of the... [Mist? No, not quite. But definitely something like it.] Magicks on this beast? Is it the tortoise that is the source, or something different? [Yeah, yeah, turtle, but it reminds her of the monsters back home, so she's calling it a tortoise.]

I am able to sense it as I can the mist, but... they are not so similar that I cannot feel a difference.

[Oh. She's forgetting something, isn't she?]

I am Fran, if anyone wishes to know.

It is... a strange sensation to be as sensitive to this as I am the mist. If anyone has an answer, I will be grateful - so long as it is more useful than the one the kedan offered. [It doesn't quite occur to her that only someone from Ivalice would understand what she means when she mentions the mist, but oh well.]

Any abilities or powers, magical or otherwise, are reliant upon the life force of this large reptile. It has been speculated that our very lives are also dependent upon it, but there is nothing conclusive as of yet.

[Crisp, dry, and to the point.]

This mist that was on the world you formerly inhabited must have served a similar purpose if your sensitivities are still functional.

[Not even batting an eyelash at her appearance. Different species are rampant where he comes from.]

Would that be a racial component or one that you developed over time?

[To the point is something Fran can appreciate.]

It is not just myself. Sensitivity to mist is something all viera possess. Others are unable to feel or notice, unless they are in areas where it is visible.

[He figured as much, but it didn't hurt to ask.]

It may not be visible to us, but the head of the reptile gives off an overwhelming feeling. Yourself, on the other hand, may be able to see it. I have never been there.

[A place he has no intention of going. Ever.]

Hm... I see. Thank you for informing me. [And now she knows there's a place she should avoid. Because being overwhelmed with something that is similar to mist? Rarely good for a viera.]

I believe your compatriot can go into further detail as to the nature of our new surroundings. He is rather resourceful.

[Better record that, because he’s probably never going to say that about anyone again.]

He is. [~~It's why she keeps him.~~] He has already informed me of quite a lot, and I am sure there will be even more to tell me. [Chatterbox that he is.]

[ah, one of his suitemates. He perhaps should be courteous, though he was grateful that Khan hadn't resorted to asking about viera.]

I see you've found my partner, then, so introductions are no longer necessary.

She'll be staying with us awhile, I hope that won't inconvenience you.

[and if it does, he doesn't really care. Whoops.]

We are all inconvenienced by our sudden arrival.

[Especially when he felt that he was coming so close to freeing his crew.]

No, it won't. I will leave any education on our current situation to you since you know each other.

[Less explanation hassle for him.]
