Nalyssa looked briefly at Kenna and Winona as they spoke, then looked down at the ground. "Please, I deserve no special treatment because of my title. I just... I just need to get back to my castle."
"Very few outside of it's borders even know of it's existence. Undead are drawn there with hope of breaking the curse, but there is little to find but misery... I must return. What land is this? Mirrah? Lanafir? Please, tell me. I may have ruined my sister's feather, but I... I must..." Nalyssa said, tears welling up in her eyes as she mentioned her sister. She turned away from Winona, wanting to hide that she was crying.
<color=green>"This world is called Earth. Third planet from the star we call the Sun." Winona could easily tell that she was in pain. <color=green>"Hey there, I know it's not a good situation. But we can help you make your way around this world." She said putting her hand on her shoulder, giving a hopeful smile.
Sophia peered her head around the doorframe and looked into the room with the tv, apparently having heard some of the conversation to understand there was someone she hadn't heard before inside the room. "Uh, hello?" She said quietly as to not startle anyone as she slowly looked at the new arrival from behind her spectacles. "So, I apparently missed more things while I was out it seems." Sophia said awkwardly to the rest of the people within the room, feeling like there wasn't much to be worried about, but still Sophia wanted to air on the side of caution. The woman weeping helped to alleviate even more unease about the situation, Sophia looked more concern as the new arrival continued.
Nalyssa stepped away from Winona as she put her hand her shoulder. "This feather is all I have left of my sister, and I ruined it... I don't even know what I did..." she cried, mostly to herself, then turned back to face Winona as she registered what she heard. "I am on another world entirely? No, no no no, what have I done?"
Nalyssa wiped the tears from her face, and appeared slightly more at ease. "I am sorry for that outburst. But if this truly is another world, perhaps the feather is not damaged. I could not see Drangleic when I tried to use it, only places that I never even knew existed. Maybe if I can just get back to my world, I can use the feather to return to my castle, and... do what I must. Please forgive me for asking, but is there any way you could help me return?"
'Poor woman.' Sophia continued to watch from the sidelines, a little miffed she hadn't been noticed, but given the situation she wasn't hurt by it either. As the woman continued to vent about her situation, and mention her feather, Sophia looked down to it. 'I wonder what's wrong with that feather of her's then, is it enchanted or something and it's been altered? Or maybe it is like she says?' She thought as she tried to think of what things might have been the root of the problem. She however did take a moment to notice the fiery red hair Nalyssa had, with Sophia's eyes it would have been hard not to.
"We're trying to figure that out ourselves actually." Sophia quietly interjected at Nalyssa's request to go home. "My name is Sophia Aethis." Sophia added, thinking that might help in this situation.

"I'm sorry, but I think you misunderstand. Now that I am somewhat calm, I do not think Shanalotte's feather is damaged, and I cannot see Drangleic through it because Drangleic does not exist in this world, so if I could just get back... back to my world somehow..." Nalyssa explained to Winona before she turned to Sophia.
"So none of you are of this world, either? I know that I am in no place to ask, but please, let me join you. I need to return to my castle, to put an end to my journey."

'So that's it, huh. But what was that Drangleic she mentioned?' Sophia's head tilted slightly as she thought about what that word, remember it being mentioned at some point, but not being able to pin it currently.
When Nalyssa finally turned to face Sophia, it was clear the level of elegance and grace the woman radiated, even in her frazzled state. "Well, yes I don't see why not." Sophia answered back to Nalyssa, although sounding a bit conflicted as it wasn't quite her sole opinion to decide, and her being the least knowledgeable about this new woman didn't help either. "But, I don't even know your name so..?" Sophia started to say as she looked at the others standing by. "No one objects, right?" Sophia asked everyone else, moving a bit more from the door frame of the room. A keen eye would notice that Sophia had a bit of mud on her pants and a small patch on her tail.

"Oh, were you not present when I introduced myself? My apologies. I am Nalyssa, Queen of Drangleic." Nalyssa said to Sophia with a slight smile that looked somewhat forced. "And I thank you for allowing me to join you. I will try not to burden you. But if it is not too much to ask, may I know the names of those with which I shall be traveling?" She looked around the room with this last question, indicating it was meant for everyone.
