The viera looked down at Wesley (a natural thing, for she towered over most Hume men) with a rather blank expression. Like Nadeline, he too was lost. She felt some pity; Humes were so easily misguided. She closed her eyes, as if she was carefully choosing her words. "[b]To do as you must, to be bound by duty, that is the life of a soldier. My allegiance lies solely to two things: the General to whom I was assigned to, and to the House of Roselia. In a cruel sense, my actions here were for the benefit of Nadeline only. And yet one can argue that I have let my emotions--however muted they may be--get in the way.[/b]" She spoke slowly, though she did open her eyes."[b]Helping the princess of Rozarria is my duty, nothing more, nothing less. Even now, once I leave I will return to said duty and fulfill my orders. But as of this moment, I did not help the princess of Rozarria, did I? Nadeline is not the one comatose. I did not lend my aid to any Rozarrian--I lent my aid to an Arcadian. You tell me, young prince, why do you think I did this?[/b]"

Jaakuna. It was Jaakuna. He was speaking, smiling, acting. He wasn't asleep, he was fully awake, even calling out to her. Emiri is in disbelief at this point, though she remembers Aloa's words as she makes her way to him. She wondered if this was Jaakuna's desire--a peaceful solitude. Not that she blamed him, after everything that had happened. And yet, even as she walked, she knew this peace was a false one. The skies never stayed clear, after all. Rain would always come to cover the blue sky, and yet in this place, it was not so. This was not reality. It struck her as odd that she had to remind herself of that. She needed to be careful, lest she, too, be drawn in by his subconscious. 

As she reached him, she paused before him. He looked so happy, as if there was not a worry in the world. It was so hard to believe, really. Taking in a deep breath, she sat down next to him, pressing her dress down as she made it smooth. Emiri looked at him, though found herself at a loss for words. She then decided she may as well ask the obvious question. "[b]Where am I?[/b]"
