As far as I can tell, they're this world's primals.
[ She uses that explanation for everyone, regardless of whether or not they know what a primal even is. Her scathing tone when she says the words tends to communicate enough on its own, though. ]
There should be somewhere safe nearby, but the rest will have to wait anyway. I gave you the basics, at any rate.
[ Like not getting rid of the amulet that you'll die without, for one. That's kind of important. ]
[The mention of primals has him frowning.] Wonderful. [His tone strongly suggests he finds that information anything but. At least he seems familiar with the term, though?
To the rest, he sighs.]
Very well. Thank you for the assistance, my lady. [He still doesn't know her name and distracted by the thought of another world with its own set of primals, he simply falls back upon habits of speech.] If as a final favor you would point me in the direction least like to lead into a nest of large angry lizards, I would be much obliged.
If you want to keep your face intact, then stop calling me that.
[ Carbuncle squeaks cheerily at Merisia's remark. They both know good and well that most of her threats are empty and are only meant to drive people off. Most of the time.
With a sigh, she jabs her thumb behind her. ]
It's that way. I'm headed in that direction myself, in case you're too scared to go alone.
[Briefly Thancred considers pointing out that his face is already not quite in tact but he pushes the grim retort aside in favor of glancing at the carbuncle and then following the line of her gesture.]
I suppose I shall accompany you then, as I am positively terrified.
[His tone is as dry as the Sago'ii there.]
Lead on, then. [He pauses and then less dryly:] My name is Thancred, by the way, and the least violent way to avoid any further 'my ladies' would be to give me something else to call you by.
