"Just be sure to let me know how your meeting goes, we can trade notes!" Sarah hadn't had much people to whom she could talk about the twins to or speculate on certain antics, after all. So whilst she didn't suspect a date, it didn't matter one way or the other for her purposes. What did matter was those first impressions and any fun tales he'd come back with. To which, she anticipated quite a bit!

Speaking of notes, she nodded when Caius mentioned tutoring himself on language through archives. She thought that was wonderful but was not at all surprised he didn't encounter the term. Her working theory was that such 'flowery' language was more reserved for colloquial banter among nobles, especially women of court. Depending on the Kingdom there might not even be room for such. It was something that Kingdoms in peace time could indulge.

Caius was indeed onto something but made a very tactful safe. For his part in that, Sarah seemed relieved but not entirely convinced. This was because people who had died showed up in this world, just as much as those who weren't. There didn't seem to be an explanation for either, nor was there information on the possibility of returning. For Sarah's part, she presumed she'd be unable to...given the memories floating about her subconscious mind. What she needed was a distraction and it came, playfully, at Caius expense. She picked up rather quickly on the friendly fire, though awkwardly, as she resisted with all her might not to laugh. Her right hand coming up to her mouth as she used the back of her hand to conceal her lips for a moment.

"...At least you were in...capable hands...ahem~" once she'd moved her hand she was smiling widely, her eyes were sparkling and it seemed even though she was trying to be polite, laughter was evident in her eyes at least. Fortunately, she could remain kind by elaborating on her metaphor of love~!

"I would say your family is your anchor. They will keep you at the docks if things are too chaotic in a relationship. Imagine a Father or Brother coming to catch you after that Tornado..." Sarah couldn't help herself.

"Your friends become the compass. They provide advice, try to reassure you when you have doubts, that helps for trying to navigate your relationship. Very much like a...moral compass, I believe is the phrase I heard?" in which Sarah could use one or the other, if not both to solve the puzzle pieces of memory in her mind. Unfortunately, she couldn't find the words to eloquently phrase her predicament for the moment.

"I haven't actually met the entire family myself. The idea of meeting someone with a very similar name to me, is exciting~" Sarah admits, as she had heard a fair bit about the "big LITTLE sis". "So you are familiar with Claire's twin sister?" Sarah admits, given he'd called her by name. Prior, Sarah had omitted her name but referred to her in kind. The twins had done a lot for her and the orphanage in tandem. Sarah had mentioned earlier that one could tell the twins apart but there was a bit more to it.

"There is something...mystifying when you speak with Lumina for a prolonged period of time. I know about some being mature for their age but...That's not quite apt to say about her. It's better to say...mmm, let me think..." in her mind it felt as if the word was just eluding her, even though it was quite clear due to her interactions with Lumina. "Speaking with her, is no different to speaking with friends around my own age." at last, she'd grasp the concept in a clear and concise way, relative to her life experiences.

Needless to say, having met two of the three Farron sisters, she agreed wholeheartedly with Caius' assessment, the family was amazing. The opportunity to meet such people, Outlanders, Claire called them, secretly excited Sarah the most. It was like encounters with mythical heroes from far off lands! A different kind of romanticism but also very enjoyable.

On the subject of dates, things had expanded wonderfully. That this was both their first dates made this feel magical to Sarah. She couldn't help but look about for a moment, taking in the atmosphere, noting a few patrons at their own tables. The setting was just right, down to Caius' parroting of courtship. "Courtship, yes." she'd reply, coyly this time but she found his enunciation of the word adorable. Until now, he had this air of maturity, a...Fatherly aura. In this moment, as he had told her about his first date and his charming yet boyish reaction? Now, it felt like a date and with someone her age at that! Sarah stifled her giggle, as it wasn't meant to be laughing at him but more with him. As adorable as she found him though, she thought it'd be offensive either way.

The timing of the tender then was godsend, it allowed her to compose herself with a royal flourish. "I'd like some honey hops then, no alcohol please. As for an appetizer...Hmm." going through the menu with the guidance Caius provided, she'd come to a decision. A platter of roasted veggies with some choice dips, with a side of crisp potato wedges. Finger foods, essentially and the kind she'd certainly not get to eat back home. "This should be fun, a night of firsts." Sarah remarked with some contained excitement.

Listening to his remark about love and the kind described in books was quite profound. She could feel his skepticism but noted his openness to the possibility of it. That time had been against him in his pursuit. Something she understood by proximity. "Zephon does seem to be a world of opportunity." with a hum, she muses on something before continuing.

"Regarding the love in books, it certainly exists. There is the temptation to look at them in the way a Bard might engage in showmanship. Certainly, aspects are embellished at times, so when I asked my tutors about it, this is what they explained to me." Sarah begins, setting the stage as she pauses, to clear her throat and make a show of it~

"I was given opportunities to have real lovers make accounts of their own stories. What I learned was no matter how fast or slow, there's a moment where the two realize they're in love and that's where the whirlwind comes from."

At first, Sarah tilted her head. Familiar and Mount were pretty ordinary terms. When Caius elaborated, choosing to define and expand the term companion, Sarah slowly understood. Calling Vordun a mount, even if she wasn't trying to demean them, didn't do their relationship justice. It implied a lack of sentience and more importantly, sapience in their relationship. She was used to people having a good bond with their horse, a traditional mount but horses weren't as clever or emotionally intelligent. Companion then, gave a stance of equality, a partnership, in which she grasped. Leaving Sarah to nod in understanding, followed by a look of intrigue regarding Torensten's biome.

In spite of her expertise, it was relieving to see Caius smiling again after her quick thinking to change the subject. Letting Caius take the lead both in getting a table and then in speaking about their new topic of discussion, allowed her to expand on what she'd learned of Caius. The unexpected twist, that he'd so little experience dating wise and if she read into it more? Not very pleasant ones, surprised her to no end! Her expression shifted a few times, from astonished to...resisting pity, then to understanding. Said understanding was more to do with Claire's intentions.

"To answer your question, by chance. I had been taken in by the couple who run the orphanage, Claire happens to frequent said orphanage to help out. She also goes to the University with one of the children, a former resident." her statement made Sarah think about how the world could be "small" like that.

"Honestly, Claire's ability to adapt and thrive here, is astounding. I can't help but feel like she belongs in Zephon. As someone old enough to be here senior, it's a bit embarrassing. Perhaps, that's due in no small part to my upbringing. So, as to how she affects my life, I can attest to feeling grounded too. Along with another word I'd like to offer, hope." Sarah had thought about this for quite awhile through her encounters. Without the kindness of strangers, she'd be lost and likely to end up far worse off. An orphanage itself wasn't likely a setting one would think for a Princess to be. Nor for them to find their way in such, not without hope.

Sarah was filled with the hope that she could help people in this world, to treat them and love them as she did those of Cornelia. When she thought of it that way, she could accept her fate and make something of it, instead of wallow in despair. It also gave her the courage to try and piece together the strange influx of memories that was bothering her night after night.

"Oh, if it helps, I've never been on a date either. Fortunately, I'm having a lot of fun, I'd be amicable to doing this more often."

"The Pale Coast, that's quite a name, it invokes imagery when spoken." to which, Sarah was already imagining it. "I'd be delighted to join you. Given your preparation, I suspect fishing is more your element~?" after all, he did seem a bit out of water. Yet his manners and efficacy were top notch, leaving her to guess more about him.

The explanation of Kingsglaive confirmed Sarah's suspicions, leaving her to with a satisfied smile. "Yes, Cornelia has knights with a regiment that would fit your position. I can see why Claire decided to pair us together now, ah that girl..." she placed a hand to her cup her cheek, a faint blush coming forth as her expression softened.

As their conversation continued, she notes the sparks with mild awe. "I quite like the freedom, even if I haven't lost that air about me yet. I suppose one can't change over night." though she'd at least like to subdue it enough to prevent the wrong impression by this world's ruling class. As well as those who reported to them. Such attention would bring unwanted circumstances, especially to her current caretakers.

"Seems we have something in common then. I too have a younger sister. For some reason, I'm left with a deep impression that she's alright. Though I can't put my finger on why." Serah admits as they journey onwards. "Is Emily here in Zephon with you?" given some of Claire's family was with her, it wouldn't surprise her in the least.
