[after people have started pulling their things out of the swamp, aerith is out roaming around to see how everyone else is faring. she's changed back into her usual outfit, hair pulled back into its braid and hands clasped behind her back as she walks on.
she spots astarion a little ways off, and while she isn't sure what to make of him yet that doesn't seem like a reason not to check in. so...she approaches.]
How goes finding an exit? [hello. this isn't even really sarcastic, she's genuinely curious how he's doing after yesterday.]

[ we love not looking like cultists. he's also sporting a new look, one that he seems much more comfortable in than the cult robes. ]
Well, if it was successful we wouldn't be having this little chat.

[his ruffle...]
You never know. Maybe you came back to bring someone with you because you found the way out.

[ ruffly ruffly. ]
They'd find a way back even if I went oh so very far that I couldn't find a way back through the fog.

[she takes a moment to read between those lines.]
So does that mean you do have people here you'd at least consider thinking about bringing back with you?
[she figures if he was alone he'd phrase it more as "every man for himself" rather than "they'll figure it out and i'll see them later."]

I'd be down a mage and a walking wall of muscle if I ran off, I suppose. It'd be a headache finding new ones so deep into the mess we're in.
Oh. There's three of you then. [she does not know quite enough to completely assume he means gale and karlach, but they are people who come to mind.] Guess you're not wrong about that. What is it they say? Don't fix what isn't broken. [doesn't entirely apply here, but close enough.] Were you all together before this, too?
Something like that. We had someone else with us, but she didn't show up here. So, I'm not sure how much proximity had anything to do with ending up here.
Probably not much. Only three of us showed up, too, out of the eight of us that were together. [...] Nine, I guess. [cid kind of counts, she supposes.]
[ yells over a railing I LOVE YOU CID WAIT FOR ME ]
Three, hm? Apparently it’s something of a magic number.
[ three ffviis, three bg3s… three hsrs… ]

I haven't heard of more than that, unless you have. [she's been trying to keep track but there are still 39 individual people she has to catch up with and that is a lot.]
No. The only group I am certain of is the one I would count myself in.
[ the clown crew. ]
[ the clown crew. ]
Which is...Gale and Karlach, right? [actually never mind gale mentioned, but it's nice to confirm.]
[ hm.
he leans on one leg, his arms folded. i have a specific pose in my head and it’s very sassy but i’m bad at describing it. ]
Yes, well. Neither of them would be very good at being subtle if this was a game of “don’t let people know who your allies are”.

[i believe you and i am imagining the sassiest pose.]
Think we lost a lot of chances of subtlety once those posters showed up in the first place. But Gale mentioned it earlier. [there's a tilt of her head.] Is that really so bad in a case like this?
[like it's gonna be real bad when murder starts but that's a later problem.]

[ thank you. ]
Ah yes, there we go. That doesn’t surprise me.
[ WHEN WILL YOU STOP YAPPING, GALE. ]
I like being able to tell or not tell people things at my whims, not some dire little hellhole’s.

Would it help if I said that's about all he mentioned? No other little secrets, all left up to your whims.
Yes, yes. I'll let him off.
[ he just keeps running into people who
know who he is.
and not because they read it on the profile. it's very funny. ]

Would it make it a little more fair if we did a trade? Name of my companions for knowing yours.
If it’ll make you feel better.
[ no that’s not it, astarion ]
[ no that’s not it, astarion ]
Not really what it's about, you know. [astarion please. but she nods anyway.] Cloud and Yuffie. If you haven't met them yet, they're...kind of hard to miss.
[one has a giant sword and one is just loud and everywhere.]

Oh.
The spiky haired man and the one who tried to imply I was an alcoholic.
[ GREAT START. ]

[yuffie why...]
Yup. [well!] They might be hard to get along with from the start, but they're good people.
[mostly.]

[why does that make her laugh actually. she's just waving a hand like nonono.]
I think they'd both be a little more annoyed if they thought I was trying to sell them to anybody. You wouldn't be any happier if you heard Karlach and Gale were doing the same thing, would you?
