i'll save you an echo from the hall

Gaia was surprised at how genuinely sorry he sounded, also felt a disappointment in how not well she hid her emotions. She could feel the light tension in the air as he tried to draw more near, she half expected to feel him surround her, much like Solo would do.. He really was gone forever wasn't he? 'it hurts so bad,' but even as he started humming she felt herself relax a bit, forced herself to continue and think of anything but Solo. She could go back home and cry for him all the more when she left this stranger's presence. Surely he didn't want to sit and watch her cry. Still, with her features softening at his tune she could go on, and the pair would shift their conversation elsewhere.

She would listen to his description, the soft sands and the salty air. Sounded like a paradise. Her smile was a little more obvious now, he'd distracted her enough that she could find an emotion that did not happen to be sadness. "It sounds beautiful," She'd manage to tell him as he asked of her home. Obviously he had seen more than she ever would, but as far as land coverage went Gaia really hadn't been many places at all. Olympus and Ebony and not a whole lot in between. This was one of her first real outings in a very long time. "Partially we live on a plain, it's been littered with thousands of different size boulders. It's a challenge not stubbing my toe there sometimes."
"There is also a nice lush lake with a sandy beach and lots of plant life. They tell me lightning bugs linger there every night, making the place look like the home of stars." Not that she'd ever seen such a display.
