When Jaakuna mentioned her family, Emiri was surprised, so to speak. So that was what he and her mother were talking about. She supposed Justine wouldn't have any objections to them marrying, though when he wished her a happy birthday, she was completely silent for a moment. She seemed surprised. No, it couldn't be. She furrowed her brow, half listening to Jaakuna go on about Archadia, half thinking about the date. Not that she would doubt her own mother not knowing when she gave birth to her, but she could hardly believe how much time had passed. "[b]I forgot my own birthday.[/b]" She mused out loud, though when asked about if she would return to Rozarria, she shook her head lightly.

"[b]No...I don't think I will come back here. Not to live, anyway. I don't feel like this is my home anymore[/b]" She told him, lifting her free arm above the water. She reached out for the air, as if trying to grasp something. "[b]Even if I could...I don't know if I could ever settle down now that I know what freedom is like. I've been all over Ivalice, but there's still so much to see, so much I don't know about. Or maybe I'm just running away again. I don't know.[/b]" She lowered her arm back into the water. "[b]But...if it's okay, I'd like to stay with you. If you'll have me.[/b]"
