[That gets Gus right in his bile sac and he finds just the biggest smile for her.
Of course he knew it, it's such a strong part of the mix of emotions he's been feeling since he arrived in the right human realm. Whenever he's not feeling the ache of missing his home and his dad, he's with the friends he's bonded with more strongly than he even knew was possible. But it's nice to hear spoken out loud, especially from Eda.
He feels the same way he felt when Camilla took them in and tried to make them comfortable in the Noceda's home. Eda and Camilla are about as different as people can get, but the emotion is roughly the same.]
I hope so! I was just figuring things out in the right one! Did you know they just put giraffes out on display? In the open!? Mind-blowing!
Do they do that here? How long have you been here?
[He's starting small. What he wants to ask is...well, a million questions about the state of the Boiling Isles and Bonesburough and his dad and King and his school and his teachers and the Collector and he also has roughly infinite questions about this wrong realm, but it's all too much to get out at once and he's not even sure if he wants the answers besides.]
( eda closes her eyes for a prolonged moment, considering what she'd been told here. with this, she has a pretty clear idea where every one of them belonged on their respective timeline.
and she is the furthest back. yeah, she's not going to start letting her nerves get the better of her on this one again. she's not, she's not. she's not secretly dead and everyone else is just conspiring to hide it from her or something! ha ha!
but first thing's first. )
Don't worry, the Isles didn't become a mass grave site or something. Belos didn't win.
( however—
eda doesn't actually know this firsthand. )
Before we get into this, did anyone talk to you about how time is different here? You know, weird?
[A smoking pile of ash? A corpse moldering on the Head? Dead? Those thoughts sting his head in a bad way, a way that makes his eyes water and his throat go tight. He doesn't want to feel those things right now. He's earned the right to not feel that if he doesn't want to.
Time. Yeah, let's talk about that. Not typically the "safer" conversation option but he'll take anything.]
I mean...all this stuff is weird. Guess it makes sense that time would be too.

Whoa, slow down.
( because experience says this is just a trickle of an oncoming storm. )
I don't know. It's been like months at this point. Hunter's probably at like around a year or so?
( then a thought. )
Were you still in the other human realm before you got here?

Yeah, for months. Since the Day of Unity-
[Hard swallow, push down the lump in his throat.]
-me and the others were staying at Luz's mom's house. Are you...I mean, did-
[How does he even ask this...]
What...happened? After the portal closed?
