Princess Yue hasn't been seen for several days, and while doubtless that she had garnered enough affection from the other foreigners that you would likely seek her out. I believe our princess is in another world.

May those who choose to remain so content with our situation be so until you or someone you know vanishes.

Were you two well acquainted?

[wholenewstory]

Not...very. But - wanted to know her.

Do you know how...?

She certainly had that approachable quality to her that defied someone of her station.

No, I didn't know her personally; she died well before my time. We are from the same world, however.

[Her face falls, a little - but maybe it's better that she doesn't know. She'll just hope it wasn't painful, or horrifying, or - ]

Must have been - strange, meeting her here.

[amonfire]

No stranger than coming here, really.

[Cass inclines her head. True enough.] Not - what I expected.

In all fairness, I don't believe anything that transpires here is anything one would have the foresight to expect.
