[ Even hours after Eirlys first awoke and took sight of a different world, it's still unbelievable. But the people and their faces, the landmarks and the technology, the words about magic she caught briefly in a paragraph written in a book--it told her this was a different world from the one she was used to. She's read it in stories: people crossing worlds and finding themselves in extraordinary situations, but she had never thought it would happen to her.
When asked to pick a weapon out of so many, she had picked a book, like one of those she used back home. She holds it to her chest, tracing the edge with a finger as she walks, head turning to catch the number on the doors. 205, 206, 207... ]
There's someone else staying in our room. [ The round bluebird she had picked as a carrier chirps as he flies behind her. ] Oh, I haven't met them yet. This is it, 208!
[ She stops in front of the door and knocks. It's quiet. Maybe there's nobody inside, or maybe they're asleep? ]
...I-I'm coming in!
[ ...It's empty. Her roommate isn't back yet, it seems. Eirlys closes the door, a little disappointed and walks over to the window. ]
They might be out exploring. [ She peers out into the snow, into the lights in the distance. Caissa is big, she was told. Maybe bigger than Prontera ever was. Even in this unfamiliar place where she doesn't know anyone, it makes her heart soar. Being a hero might be impossible, but if she could help the people here... ] ...Mm, I want to go take a look around too!
[ The bluebird perches on her shoulder as she turns around and starts for the door. She should give it a name, maybe. Something cute. Running through words in her head, she wonders if Lumaria and Iseul are well. If being summoned here means she disappeared from her home... ]
Ah... Oh!
[ It's only when the book hits the ground that Eirlys realises she's dropped it. Focus, she has to focus. Bending down to pick it up, she doesn't hear the door open. ]
