[It's a different experience, her venturing into his crystal rather than the reverse, though it's similarly disorienting and sudden. One moment he's in their room, the next he's effortlessly drawn into an endless sea of undulating shades of blue, peppered with stars and shining lights. It strongly resembles the interior of his magic armory, or the core of the Crystal itself when he'd met Bahamut, and for a moment he feels disappointed that it's just this again, this miserable emptiness that brought him so much grief back home, as well as nearly killed him twice here... but then he starts to notice the fragments of colour and architecture cutting through the otherwise stagnant realm.

The first one he sees looks almost like an island, fragmented and crumbling at the edges, but there's such an obvious familiarity to the architecture that he feels immediately drawn to it. Arcs of obsidian stone and polished marble, accents of gold marking out nostalgic shapes and patterns. It's unmistakably Lucian. It's still distant, segments drawing together as if forming as he focuses on it, but he suspects it'll become fully recognizable soon.

His voice is quiet as he speaks, finally breaking the uneasy silence that the visual had formed in him.]
