[She's gotten a little bit of that vibe, tbh. But that's not a bad thing--she'd much rather hear that other worlds weren't constantly in danger and chaos!
She shakes her head at the question.] It's unheard of. Until I myself was pulled to the First and learned what had happened, all we knew was that those of us close to the Warrior of Light were being targeted by a strange voice from afar.
At any time we could be afflicted by a sudden, blinding pain that I now know to be our souls separating from our bodies. We would hear his voice calling out. And when the pain subsided... [Alisaie averts her eyes.] One of our number would have collapsed, their body still breathing while their soul disappeared from our realm.
[She's not. Trying to be dramatic about it. But she's still got a lot of complex feelings about that period of time that she's never really stopped to sort through.]
At any rate, no, Alphinaud and I are no strangers to being caught up in a battle that by all rights is not our own. [The corner of her mouth quirks, despite herself.] You might say it's our family legacy.
Please, don't be. [This time, the quirk morphs into a smile.] My grandsire believed that, were we but capable of aid, we had a responsibility to help those in need. It is a philosophy my brother and I share.
Our journey to the First was a strange one, and I know how scared our friends at home must have been before they received word of our health. But if anything I did made a difference to that world, I cannot regret the circumstances that brought me there.
[So. Yeah. U good Susato nothing you do will faze her. ...probably.]

That's awful. I'm sorry you and your brother had to live through that.
