[ Thoma's enthusiasm and happiness has always been a contagious force of nature on their own, and this time is no different. As he continues to recount his memories from home, she smiles more and more. She can somewhat imagine the elation that must have accompanied the news of Inazuma's borders being open again, its people finally free to come and go as they please and free from a stifling oppression, having seen what that sort of isolation did to the people of Duskvale in her own realm.

Still, she can't guess at where Thoma is headed, so she listens to him carefully, even as she peers down at the small, red charm in her hand. And with every word, her heart and soul are moved, filled with no small measure of gratefulness, awe, and complete adoration for the incredible man before her. ]

Oh, Thoma...

[ He's so endlessly thoughtful and kind, and for just a second Ori almost slips back into an old habit, to think herself undeserving of such a gesture. But instead her fingers close around this small, but utterly precious gift, and she closes her eyes and holds it to her chest. She wants to remember this moment and his words forever. ]

I... Thank you, my sweet sun. This is an incredible gift, and I promise to keep it forever. I... I'll find my way to Inazuma, to you, [ with her free hand, she reaches over to cup his cheek, ] and then we'll find Diluc in Mondstadt. And then we can give this back to your mother together, and thank her for keeping you safe and leading us back to each other.
