"It feels like we've been here all our lives." Zelda's party was a small affair; something between a group of people unfortunate enough to get roped into another world's politics. This was an actual party. New friends, new neighbors: a new life where Ales could start over. No worries about facing the consequences of his actions back home. Needless to say, he enjoyed this peaceful life. He wasn't the leader of an army, but the chance to fly a real airship and conduct his own funded research was preferable.

As stupid as most of the other Heroes could be, they all weren't that bad. They didn't mind his love for science and they were all focused on saving the world rather than lazing about. Ales could get used to living here forever.

"We may as well break off of Aqures Ixen and start our own village of Heroes at this rate next year. At least, as long as the Calamity remains frozen." It was worrisome how it stopped moving out of nowhere with no explanation. With no reason behind it, the smallest thing could trigger it again.

He shakes his head. This is a party, not the time to ruin the moody by worrying about the fate of the world. "How kind of this village to let all of us to gather here today."
