I. BEARING FRUIT [Veyle dreams. She dreams that darkness finally took Elyos, that her father had his wish, and that she was gone along with everything else. In the end, it's almost a relief.
But not quite. She awakes with a start and a gasp for air, and a strange amethyst-like stone suspended above her that looks... almost like it could be a fragment of her own dragonstone. She's afraid of it for a moment, but it also doesn't seem right to leave it, so she gingerly takes it.
Is it the right thing to do? Maybe it would stay buried down here, with her. But she can hear movement or a voice, muffled nearby. Another survivor, maybe...? She tentatively pushes the dirt aside and pulls herself up and out of the earth, clutching the Shard to her chest. She's a slight girl dressed in a (slightly dirty) white dress, barefoot, with broken chains around her ankles. She locks eyes with another survivor, newly arrived like her or not, and the selfish relief passes into a realisation of the gravity of what happened. This person lost their home, too. She seems to be in a state of shock, or else on the verge of bursting into tears.]
I-I didn't... I never meant... [Then she blurts it out quickly, like a confession:] I think... this is my fault.
II. TWO CITIES - HIGHSTORM [Though Veyle is instinctively afraid of large gatherings, Kathova nonetheless manages to coax her into attending the meeting at Highstorm. She acquires a new white dress and some small heels (though no one in the manor yet has been able to coax her to take off the chains around her ankles). While changing helps her feel a little better -- and fit in a little more for the occasion -- she's still too spooked to approach anyone for information.
Eventually, it's hunger that lures her over to the buffet table, and she piles a few meats and cheeses onto her plate to nibble on between the important business of... lurking. She's reaching for some crackers when she realises someone has the same idea as her, and she withdraws her hand, trying to sound a little less nervous than she feels.]
Oh, sorry! You can have them.
III. TWO CITIES - MERIDIAN [Veyle also attends the gathering in Springstar. Though she's leaning towards Zenith and the kindness Yima had showed her, she wondered what it was about Meridian that meant people there just... hadn't given up. Shouldn't they? It seems so much easier not to fight what had already come to pass. The heavy military presence here makes this place more daunting than Highstorm, but so far, no one has been unkind to her, though that's perhaps because she hasn't harmonised yet.
Also unlike Highstorm, she has more confidence to approach strangers this time, only wringing her hands slightly as she stops beside someone and speaks up to get their attention. They might be Meridian, Zenith or neither; she has no real way of telling.]
Hello... Um, can I ask you a few questions?
