Well, he'll also take in a slow deep breath. Not nearly as open and dramatic as Rondo's, but still. And you know, it is nice. It's a new smell, humid but fresh -- so wonderfully absent of ash, blood, dust and rot. ]
...I haven't, actually. I've seen it, but never been right up to the waters. Why don't you take the lead?
[ the smile on his face is warmer, now, more easy and genuine, and he'll do just that! it's not a very far walk from wherever they landed - the ocean sounds closer and closer with each step. ]
I've not really been, either - I grew up inland, and the Knights don't get to go down to the Coastlands very often, since we aren't really needed there. [ so they can experience it together! down we go. hands swinging.

[ He's being hand-swung . . . it's kind of weird. For Daan. This may as well be the first time he has ever experienced hand-swinging but who is he to interrupt Rondo's fun time. ]
Hmm... I've been all over Europa, but usually all I ever saw were woods, meadows, passing cities. Stayed in Rondon for over a decade. Pretty modern metropolis. [ Modern for 1942. ] It has a tendency to be pretty foggy and rainy all the time though.
anyway it's not wildly energetic handswinging. just kind of low key! enjoy the moment daan... enjoy the fun....
he nods, though, along with that. ] That's about what it was like for me, too. My hometown is in a place that's all dry bluffs... and then in Flamesgrace, it's almost always snowing. Sometimes, it'll be stacked almost up to your knees, in the winter. So being able to come out somewhere like this - it feels kind of special, doesn't it? Or at least, a little bit like a break.
Plus, I'm really looking forward to eating something that's not whatever they serve at the refectory. There's actual fruit and vegetables here!
[ It makes sense in its own way. Fire would be a good commodity in a palace that always snows. ]
I don't really like snow much. Not really a cold fan. Eh, but I don't like the heat either...
[ ...
A break. He wonders if that's right, but he's not going to dampen someone else's mood by saying that out loud -- especially when it's someone sensitive like Rondo. Stay chipper, lil guy. ]
Yeah. I'll eat what I can get to keep from starving, but I'm definitely looking forward to something new.
Mmmhm. It's a little ironic, right? But it's named for the Sacred Flame - the First Flame was delivered to Flamesgrace by Aelfric, and is housed in the Cave of Origin there. It's the seat of the Church, so...Flame's Grace. Flamesgrace. But you'd think we'd have a volcano or something!
[ what a different world that would be. the word flamesgrace does not look like a word to me anymore.
anyway! there's a little bit of a softness to his smile on it being a break. it's something, a moment of brightness, and it feels a lot like one after being in that miserable, dingy cave. rondo folds his hands behind his back as he finally lets go and follow's daan's gaze... ]
...oh! [ he. does not know any better. ] Is that... normal? Huh. [ well

I'm not sure? I guess it could be.
