For Kaleeth, it was not entirely encouraging to hear that Aurana had attempted to convince her parents to give her more freedom before. It would make it less surprising if she trie dto stand up for herself again. But, that did not mean it was hopeless by any means. There was no guarantee that her previous tries were particularly confident, and she might not have had many good arguments to give to them. With her brother supporting her, she might be able to have more success against them. 

"We want to try to help you talk to them." Kaleeth explained. "It will probably be more effective if most of the arguments come from you, with your brother supporting you. I'm also hoping that just knowing he's alive might make it easier for them to accept that it isn't as dangerous as they think for you to be independent."

Meesei had a feeling that the subject of Lunise's mother was at least somewhat touchy. Or at the very least, charged with some emotion. It was understandable, considering that she had left their entire plane of existence over a century ago. Particularly if they had been close, they would have lost a part of their family. Meesei was not sure if she should stay on the topic, or try to move on to something else, but the silence in the air made it seem like a good idea to at least try to keep the conversation moving. 

"In truth, I can see the appeal of both worlds. There is no feeling quite like that of discovery. This world contains more mysteries than any one person could even hope to approach. I remember as a hatchling seeing the Ayleid ruins we sometimes passed around our village; I could feel the energy of their unique kinds of magic, even from the outside. They were unstable, flooded, filled with crocodiles, but that did not make them much less appealing for me." Meesei said, a smile slowly growing across her expression as she thought back to her childhood. "In another life, I might have been a wandering scholar or explorer, delving into dangerous ruins to uncover their secrets. But, my...responsibilities have kept me busy. And it is always an honor to serve my people."

Meesei gave a quick chuckle. "Although, I can relate to you on the paperwork. I do not have to contend with bureaucracy, but the need for reports is universal. And maps, I have become exceptional at drawing them."
