"Forgiving of misspoken words? I think I can be but I am not to sure. I am not to sure though..." Terra could not help herself but speak up and respond to him. There is a chance that she had dealt with misspoken words in teh past especially with King Edgar. Yet she did not want to say it for certain one way or another. Rubbing the side of her head she could not help but feel a little bad about not being able to give him a straight answer.


Yet after all of that she was quiet for a bit. More because she had to wait to see what Caius would say to everything else that she had said. It was not long after though that he began to speak. Hearing about Caius's world made her internally frown. As it sadly seems that destruction widespread across worlds seem to be a common thing. That thought was still depressive to her psyche. Yet there had to be some worlds where things turned out well after the adventures ended.

Turning her gaze to match his looking out over the ocean as he continued to speak. Listening to him speak about his early adventures and how it seemed that Celes had put him on the right path. Her smile returned to her face wide as before. She just listened to his entire story word for word as he shared it with her. Terra could not help herself as she just listened in and nodded along understanding the story. Hearing about how the Dragonblades were first starting created for him to find a purpose and then it turned into a family. This made sense to her and she could not help but understand this sentiment.

"My friends started off quite similar to the Dragonblades. United in but only a singular purpose and then we became more through our travels. We became.. well in my own mind we became a family by the end of it. My closest and dearest friends. The few people that I would push myself to the breaking point and would give my life for. So we are similar Sir Caius. I take my strength from those memories that I carry. To see their faces once more..." Terra could not help herself as she spoke on all of his words. They were similar people it seemed except it seemed that she had a few extra things about her. Yet with it all she only seemed to enjoy being around this man and wanting to be in the place alongside Celes.

Terra reached over and placed a hand onto his shoulder and lightly patted him on the same shoulder. "So we are to work together to make this world a better place? Especially if we cannot return home. Make this world a better place to live and maybe find a family to live alongside?" She let her words hang in the ether around them as she felt that was the right thing to do in the moment.

It seemed that her words had had an impact upon Caius. As Caisu seemed to be dumbfounded with her speaking of the ancient spells she had heard others speak about in passing and that she had tried to use. The only time that she could even attempt to use it it nearly burned her up even with her blasting it far away from her. Despite her words to stay calm she had paid attention to the fact that his arm had moved toward what she could only assume was a knife or sword behind his back. That was something that she had expected so it honestly didn't bother her at all.

As she was back to her normal state she could not help but give a gentle smile toward Caius and turn her gaze toward the sea. Listening to Caius speak up and understand her thoughts made her smile stay. With that she kept her gaze away and out at the ocean. Listening to him speak she could not help but nod a few times before speaking up. “I would be honored to walk along the person that has kept my friend sane and calm through these many years. For that you will always have my gratitude Caius. As for speaking about the Returners… I would be honored to speak about our friends. Each one of them are great people and are important to us both.”

Speaking Terra turned back to him with her gentle smile plainly visible upon her face. Despite that she could not help but think about the words that she was going to say. There were so many different things that she could speak upon first but the first thing she felt would have to be explaining what she was to the man and what had fully happened. Closing her eyes she took in a deep breath and then opened them slowly as she exhaled.

“I guess I can start off this conversation with explaining to you what I am and what happened to us in those final days. Sir Caius I am something called an Esperkin. In our world there were once beings of immense magical power called the Espers. They could wield magic in all its forms and strengths to fight or defend others. I… am the only living one remaining as Kefka captured or killed all of them. Yet I am not a pure blooded one instead I am the result of an Esper falling in love with my human mother. My father Maduin was a stoic fighter and guided us as we fought back against Kefka in his blighted hellscape.” Terra spoke slowly and with a purpose as she walked beside Caius. Her words were quiet enough so that just the two of them could hear it.

”The Returners made it all the way to the pinnacle of his power. We fought the avatars of magic on our planet and we destroyed them. Then we fought and killed the man who held the reins of a god through our efforts, but at the cost of all magic upon our world. All of our allies who had been blessed by the Espers magic knowledge lost their connection to those spells. Yet I… I felt it more intrinsically than anyone else. Being basically a being of pure magic I felt it rip and tear at my very soul and then it was gone. It was that way for months before I wandered through a dense fog to this world and my magic returned to me. Modified by this planet but restored to its full power and then some.” She finished speaking and sighed as she finally caught her breath. There was much more to speak about but this would work for now.

It seemed that the last of her words had taken Yuffie a few minutes to at least come up with a response toward. Which was something that she had not expected. Yet it was interesting for her. Listening to the way that Yuffie explained that the big baddy was beaten by her kicking their butt made her smile and shake her head. Listening through it all as Yuffie continued along. Explaining how she had a group of people that beat the big bad that had threatened her world. Yet she has said that she had seen her bad guy here on Zephon.

This made Terra’s blood run cold for a moment. A slight cold chill ran down her spine as she could not help but think that the fact Yuffie said her enemy was here could mean only one thing. That one fact made Terra shiver a little as thinking of Kefka being out there almost brought up a panic attack in her. Despite that she listened to that it seemed she had been taken at the moment of victory. Terra nodded as she waited for Yuffie to take a breath. Yet she did not speak as instead she let the air just cool off between them instead of adding to the noise before speaking up. ”I do wonder how things are back home though. So I can sympathize with wanting a few minutes longer before being brought here.”

She trailed off right as Yuffie decided to continue speaking about how she would put in a good word for her with Caius. That was a name she had seen on a few posters across town and on a memorial about a “Kraken” attack. Watching her move and speak about the materia before making the fire appear. She smiled as she lifts up her own right hand and snaps her finger and a flame sprung from her hand once more.

“So it grows alongside your own experience? That sounds amazing for those that are adventurers. I know that my powers grew as we travelled around our world. Yet that is because of my nature. Well that alongside the ‘Magicite’ that would give us knowledge if we carried them as we fought.” She could not help but explain things a little to Yuffie. As it was something that she enjoyed doing.

As Caius remained quiet Terra couldn't help but feel that she had said something wrong or at least said something that might have made him recoil a little from her. Yet despite this she decided that she was not going to go anywhere and instead she was going to focus on introducing herself to Caius and possibly hearing about Celes and how she was. Though as he spoke up and introduced himself she could not help but smile as it was a much more traditional introduction and one that she was used to hearing. She even gave him a slight bow of her head in acknowledgement of his words. Listening to him speak about how Celes was on something of a vacation made her nod a little more vigorous then before. It was good to hear she was attempting to do something calming and not just work all the time.

“She does deserve happiness… As for meeting her. I have not had the courage to speak with her in the several years I have been here on Zephon. I have heard of her exploits but even after what I did here in Torenstein I did not approach her. If we are to meet up then we will. There is nothing else to it after all.” Terra responded as she couldn't help but speak what was on her mind. As she would not approach Celes instead she was going to let her lead her life as she had no idea where Celes was nor if this was the same Celes that had been there at her side when her Esperkin powers slipped from her on the Falcon.

With a sigh she lifted a hand and ran it through her hair to push a stray lock out of her vision in front of her right eye. As she did she spoke up. ”You asked if there is anything that I want… That is simple. I want to join the Dragonblades and help the people of this realm just as I defended the people back in my world. I have done it once and I want to do it once more.”
