[ Era had thought initially that the upcoming conflict in Gyr Abania was to be her most pressing concern in the near future. She hadn't counted on apocalyptic circumstances and another world. She knew of different worlds of course, though never in her wildest flights of fancy would she have imagined she would need reside in one for a time.
She had full well assumed she would bear this burden on her own, much as she had in the past. The Scions had always been supportive, but they had almost always stayed back while she battled at the forefront as was expected from the Warrior of Light. Era would never begrudge them for staying out of the way - they hadn't the Echo to protect them after all - and would sooner cut off her horns than allow Alphinaud and Alisaie to join her at the front lines. Her young Elezen companions (the younger siblings she could never recall having) were growing stronger with each passing day, coming into their own and out of Louisoix's shadow. They were smart, talented, and had a long way to go before Era would allow them to act as soldiers.
Perhaps it was overprotective of her. She trusted them implicitly, but... They were still so young. And the other Scions had their own duties calling to them.
So no, Era had expected to be alone.
To be proven wrong is a most welcome surprise. ]
Aymeric?
[ Even Peki seems pleased that her friend is here, offering an affectionate wark of greeting to the older man. It takes Era a moment to process this sudden change in her plans (such a welcome change it is!). She had been planning to use a simple Physick to heal the wound, but Aymeric is Aymeric. He has never looked at her and seen an indestructible Warrior of Light. There has never been any need to save face in front of her dear friend.
Sheepishly, Era holds out her arm for Aymeric to inspect. Her inventory is filled to the brim with her gear and supplies, including Potions and rolls of linens for bandages should he need any. She doesn't dare try to rise from where she has fallen to retrieve it herself, lest the vertigo return and she do something unsightly such as vomit on the Lord Commander. While they have not had the opportunity to be travel companions before, Era is certain her friend must know that what is hers is his as well. ]
The Mothercrystal is a much better guide between realms.
