[ It's weird being without your lifelong other half, okay. ]

Yeah.

[ The question does make him think for a moment about his friends as a whole — how great all of them are and how weird it is being without most of them (even if he is okay with the lack of fighting going on in his head). And he ... does miss them, as a result. It's hard not to — he'd traveled with them for so long, and in Mikleo's case been with him his whole life. And of course, Rose is just as much his friend, too. But he comes up with an answer! ]

They're all amazing! And they're really different from each other, too. Just as different as all the people you can meet here. Edna likes to tease a lot, while Lailah can be pretty silly sometimes. Meanwhile, Gramps is really wise and powerful, and I can always trust Mikleo to be there for me ... [ Ah, he's not sure if he's rambling too much about his friends. He knows a lot more than just that, though — an entire village worth plus some, actually. ]

But I know a lot of them, since I grew up with them. I wish I could introduce you to them all.
