Felih's ears droop as he is reminded of their situation, and looks around anxiously. The dark void around them, occasionally broken up by mounds and floating isles of stone and glowing purple aether and multicolored crystals, is silent and unwelcoming, with only the occasional deep, loud rumbles of sound.
He isn't sure if it is a beast, or the simple resonance of aether echoing in... well, a void. Either way, the sound disconcerts him every time it makes itself known, and he is visibly on edge.
Even Holly sticks close to his neck, her tiny hands gripping onto Felih's clothes.
"Dakki, then. At the very least, 'tis a relief to find another human about..." he says softly. "I am a Scholar- though versed in all manner of healing magics, I have found myself in the companionship of a faerie of my own. Holly is quite the talented little lady- and we work well in tandem. I suppose she must have known we would be a good match- I've heard the fae choose their partners. From what I've seen, it seems to ring true."
Holly only looks proud at the praise, her wings fluttering a moment before she relaxes and beams at Dakki. She idly starts to braid her red and green hair over her shoulder.
"It's a relief not to be alone..." And she means that. Means it with a passion that surprises her and gives her the slightest twinge in her chest. But there she goes, being silly again... she listens to Felih's explanation with a smile, focusing on that instead. "That's wonderful, that you two have found each other! Er... oh, and I'm a White Mage. Between the both of us, if there's any trouble, I'm sure we'll be able to handle it!"
Her optimism wavers slightly when Felih asks how she arrived here, however. She knows the answer, but it's not a very encouraging one. "I... I was fighting some sort of voidsent." One hand rises to absently fidget with the red trim of her white robes. "Everything seemed under control, and then there was this terrible sound and everything went dark and... and now I'm here." She stills, and looks to Felih hopefully. "How did you find yourself here?"
Felih's ears immediately pin down, sympathetic as some of his bravado fades. "...agreed. 'Tis a great relief to not be alone," he murmurs quietly, before he forces himself to perk up, trying to keep a brave face on for Dakki and Holly's sake. He feels better knowing someone else is around, and he relaxes, letting his tense and anxious tail finally sweep low to the ground in a more at-ease sway.
"The path of my own adventure followed was the same as yours," he says softly. "My companions and I were clearing out old ruins of voidsent, in the hopes that it could be reclaimed and restored, explored and salvaged- but all of a sudden, I was snatched up and torn away..."
He shudders. "The fiend had wicked claws. Lucky am I that it merely sought to fling me into a void and not rend me asunder. I worry more for the fate of my comrades."
