[ For a few moments, Ori simply blinks at Aerith silently though she remains smiling at the other woman. It’s taking her a moment, it seems, to truly realize what it is that Aerith has just asked.
Although the tiefling has never experienced the kind of loneliness that comes with being the last of any kind… She’s grappled with a different sort of loneliness throughout her life. And here, where she sees many fellow dreamwalkers meet friends of theirs from the same world. She even fell in love with two men who hailed from the same place… But she’s never met someone that she was sure came from her world, too. A different sort of loneliness, to be sure, and Ori would never pretend to know how any one person feels completely, but she can empathize; she is no stranger to that feeling of longing and wanting to belong.
Naturally, she knows based on what she’s seen of Aerith’s magic, that they’re not from the same place. But even if their magic is inherently different, perhaps there are more similarities in what they can do beyond the healing effects of their spells. ]
I… Of course I won’t mind. You can speak with plants, too, Aerith?
