[Action -- Since Ovelia really hasn't done anything in...well, forever.]

[regal-innocence.livejournal.com]

[Ever since she had arrived in Figaro, Ovelia had been restless. It was true that she hadn't attended the meeting before, with Ramza and the others (it probably would have been in her best interests to), but her feet had often wandered, sending her in various places throughout the castle. No matter how much she looked at it, it was fascinating; everything seemed much more vibrant...much more alive than where she was in Zeltennia.

She stopped in mid-step, glancing out the window to blink into the afternoon sunshine.]

Sorry--wrong icon. ><

[She lets out a small squeak, realizing that she had been drifting off in her own thoughts, even when someone was right in front of her!

She faces Terra in an instant, giving an immediate smile of apology:]

I am sorry. I...

[Embarrassed, she glances down towards her feet.]

I was merely thinking. I did not mean to act so strange.

[Terra shakes her head, smiling back.]

It's alright.

...you were thinking of home?

[regal-innocence.livejournal.com]

[She nods, a bit meek.]

...Yes.

[There's a pause--a hesitation, almost a nervousness in her tone. Maybe she shouldn't talk so much, but it's been so long since she's really had another girl to talk to...and maybe, since Terra was like her, she'd understand.

She didn't know much of her own world...maybe she was in a similar situation?

Courage welling up, Ovelia decided to try.]

Though it is strange...a part of me does not quite consider it home. It is where I was born, it is where I was reared and educated...

But my attachments are few. It is as though being away has lifted something from my shoulders.

[Edited, and carefully worded, but not a lie.

But it's hard to really feel comfortable in a world where half the continent wants you dead.]

[Terra nods, slowly. Since Ovelia shares that much, Terra opens up to her in turn.]

The place where I lived most of my live...it's not home to me, either. It's simply where I was raised. I have no desire to see it again.

I hope that you do find a place to call home, in Gaia.
