...It is the most peaceful place I can remember clearly.
[He holds out his hand.]
Come.
[And a portal will appear behind him.]
Come.
[And a portal will appear behind him.]
[He takes him to Amaurot. Well, one that looks like the city created in the Tempest. It has a few flourishes added from Lahabrea's memories to make it look more accurate, but it still has that underwater sheen and hollow green glow.
He starts to walk the streets to see if Elidibus will follow.]
Try as we might, we can't live alone, can we?

[he does in fact follow]
We certainly cannot.

When I arrived there was only one other Scion from home. He is no longer here, though his 'double' appears to be.
Thus, I thought to carve out my own space, my own way, finding those individuals that intrigued me for both their personality and their abilities. So imagine my surprise when I found one whose memory claimed he could control time.

Emet-Selch, you owe me no explanations. Especially not when it comes to your relationship with Five.
Don't I?
I don't wish to hide things from you.

I will not stop you from telling me whatever you wish, but you do not have to.
You aught do demand it. It is your right for all that we have lived through together. And that aside, for the friendship we have.
[The disgruntled look he gives is a sure 'no' to that question.]
I demanded he stay with me. You can thank him for the room upgrade.

'Tis fortunate indeed that the two of you were placed together, at least.
[Pretend these were all white haired icons.]
Do you feel left out because of it?
Do you feel left out because of it?
Should we both come over then once every few days?
[He gives a bow.]
That's more like it.
[He takes his hand again as he starts to walk through the streets.]
Do you remember Amaurot? Any detail, even small, the two of us might have missed? Lahabrea's insight greatly increased the realism of this place. Remembers features where no existed.

[shakes his head]
I have some memories from that time, but I'm afraid details of the city itself elude me.

No matter. We will make new memories to go with the old. Something which I neglected earlier.
What is it they say? Better late than never?
[He runs his fingers through Elidibus's hair.]
My gentle friend.... we put so much upon you. Too much. Desperation drove us, and you responded with strength and sacrifice, and every day I have wondered if only I were more clever, if there might have been any other way. One that didn't ask so much, so cruelly.
[His voice is soft and a little cracked as he pulls Elidibus closer.]
You saved us. You did truly. You did all we asked and more.
This time we have the opportunity to try to save each other. To find a way to save the world without sacrifice. To summon Zodiark without the power of lives, including your own.
I have always asked more of you than has ever been fair. And now I ask you to return to us. Just yourself. To find out who that is once more. To let us be your support as it always should have been.

[clings to him, trying to keep himself from shaking]
I... I will try. I will try.
I... I will try. I will try.
[He runs his hand through his hair, holding him tight in his arms.]
That is all I ask. It will take time. But I do not wish you to reject this chance. I would see you reach out to something new.

[taking a few deep breaths, attempting to gather himself, but when he speaks again his voice is still a little uneven]
'Tis no easy task you give me, Speaker.
