[Look, no one ever TOLD him they were twins and he was a bit preoccupied the only time she was in Ishgard...!]

Hm.

[If he had the extent of the team he had before, this would be a trifling matter. But he doesn't have them at the moment.]

Move as soon as you feel the pressure clear.

[He starts trying to shift the rock back.]

[songofthedawn]

Got it!

[G'rhyf stays as still as they can, resisting the urge to twist around and watch for any progress. It takes a bit, but eventually through the convenience of plot grit and determination the boulder starts to shift just enough to widen the gap. They're quick to take advantage, wriggling and flopping backward until they get free and very nearly fall right on top of Estinien in their haste. Thankfully, they just hit the ground with a thud instead.]

Ouf--!

[On the other side of the passage a bag is thrown through the now wider gap by psychic energy, and a little Ralts comes crawling through soon after. Thank goodness this is all over with...!]

[stardiving]

You could have done that with the rock.

[He says not unkindly, looking down at the Ralts as if this is not as all weird. But he remembers the months he spent here before so it's really not.]

Are you alright?

[He asks with no recognition in his expression whatsoever.]

[songofthedawn]

He tried--it was too heavy for him to even budge.

[G'rhyf pushes themself up with a groan and rubs their head before peering up at Estinien--up until now there hadn't been any hint that something might be amiss, but that flat look he's giving them...]

...uh, I think so. Is something wrong?

[da fuq bro]

[stardiving]

Aside from being back here and dealing with this nonsense again?

[He tilts his head, questioning. There's something off here...]

[songofthedawn]

'Again'? You mean you've been here before?

[They do not remember hearing anything about Estinien falling off the face of Etheirys before...though in all fairness, it's not like it's all that easy to keep constant track of him in the first place.]

When did this happen?

[stardiving]

[He thinks he might know what's going on here. He's experienced that before, too, thanks to this place--what was that other Warrior's name? Zinnia? No...]

First, I was here for near a year and a half.

[He shifts, awkward, as he tries to think of the best way to broach this. He's not exactly subtle but he also finds that he doesn't wish to cause undue harm, especially if they're to spend longer here than the other warrior had. Finally he just sighs and decides to be blunt about it.]

You are the Warrior of Light, are you not? You seem familiar with me, though I don't know you.

[songofthedawn]

[They mirror Estinien's awkward shuffle, though they frown more out of confusion and a mounting suspicion of 'something is wrong again'. And sure enough--]

I--yes, I am? [Is he from before they had come to assist Ishgard? But--no, he's not acting right for that, none of that razor edge that had clung to him until Nidhogg was finally put down for good.] You don't remember any of--when we'd worked together?

[stardiving]

[He grumbles and shakes his head. Of course it's this again. How many different variations of their world could there possibly be, and why is it only one person different between them? It makes no sense at all.]

I do remember, just not with you.

[He shrugs.]

It's an odd thing to say, I know, but this place defies most reason. The Warrior I am familiar with is a dark-haired Hyur man.
