My home is Ishgard. [ The emphasis speaks of love and warmth; belonging and family. ] A nation which loathed me for who and what I am, but for however cold it was and can still be in all ways, there is a warmth within.

[ Era offers him a wane smile. ] I never had a father, you know. Then the father of my dearest friend took me in despite what it would mean for his reputation, to have an outsider — an Auri woman, in particular — as his ward...

Eventually he told me I was like the daughter he never had, and it was an odd thing. [ She lifts a hand to rest lightly over her heart, contemplative. ] Even after I let his beloved son die, still he cherishes me as a child of his own.

[ A quick, rueful shake of her head. ]

But that is a different sort of home, I think. Can a person have more than one?
