[here they are... in the city... specifically, near the blimps. it appears that they can go up in one? nahida is weighing her options. should she, should she not...
when she spots gerard, she waves.]
Hello, Gerard! Have you ever ridden one of these before?

Hello, Gerard! Have you ever ridden one of these before?
I haven't seen anyone falling from any of them, and I've been watching them for a little while now.
...so, I think it would be fun to give it a try. Let's go!

Hmm... not exactly like this. There are some things that are similar, though.
[imagines a giant anemo slime balloon flying through the sky... going haywire when some childe main shoots an arrow off the high point of one of the cliffs by the chasm to see how far it will go...]
Do they have things like this in Greenleigh?

This place isn't much like Sumeru, either.
[nahida doesn't seem nervous as they go up - more intrigued than anything else. she goes up on her tiptoes so she can see out the window and look out at the city as they rise.]
What sorts of places have you been to?

[ he does too, but then shrinks back a bit, like he's scared of heights. ]
All sorts of different kingdoms, at first, and then the places between the kingdoms, outside of our own world. Then back to the world we thought we knew, changed yet again. And now, somewhere new entirely.
Yourself?

[nooooo the frog is scared of heights...]
I see... you must have seen so many different things and met so many different types of people...
[her voice sounds a little... wistful?]
...I'm afraid this is the furthest I've ever been from Sumeru. But I've heard so much about the other nations in Teyvat from one of my friends who is traveling throughout the world.

[well this is depressing.
nahida, as expected, looks pretty down in the dumps! but when she spots gerard, she looks up and tries not to look so sad. (she kind of fails at it though.)]
Gerard, hello...

Gerard, hello...
I knew him better than I knew some of the other people here...
[she sighs.]
...I didn't think this would happen so fast. I thought it might happen eventually, but that people would see how quickly we could earn points with other missions first...
[she sighs.]

It does seem to be a mistake, that they would try this without waiting to see what would happen.
[ hrm. ]
I know it is probably cold comfort, but everyone I've spoken to has expressed the same. That they did not think it would happen quite so soon.

It was unwise. We will catch them tomorrow.
[she says it firmly, like there's no room for argument, because she's trying to convince herself of it.]
...everyone is saying that, but someone wasn't willing to wait. I... I want to know why.

[that was so much.
anyway, after the trial, nahida's going to go for a walk to try and clear her thoughts and will come across gerard somewhere when she does so. when she sees him, she waves.]
...thank you for your hard work today.

...to me, letting most of you do it would have felt the same way.
[since she knows she's older than most of the people here. not all of them! but... most of them.]
This form can be a little inconvenient sometimes. I don't want people to worry when I do these things, but it's not like there's much I can do about the way I look...

[frogs...]
That's true...
[...she sighs.]
...all of that was a lot. Are you going to be okay? And Ylfa?

I didn't either.
[a beat.]
Is this what they mean about not seeing the forest for the trees...?

[ you know what, that's so spot on that it sort of shocks a laugh out of him. not like a mean laugh, just a very, very dry holy shit laugh. ]
Yes. I think that is exactly what they mean by that.
... I knew it was them even last night. I felt it. But I didn't want to believe it.

He mentioned to me... that he had asked about what would happen to his connection to Rin if one of them died. But, he also mentioned that he had been told it wouldn't be severed...
