[ well. siffrin beat him to asking, so ace gives him a quick smile before he turns back to squint at the view ]
It's not, but most islands aren't really built for tourist attractions. Most of the world is covered by the sea, and everyone lives on islands. [ hmm ] You ever been to the ocean?
[ Listening quietly, looking possibly even more curious at the mention of the world mostly being of the sea. Living on islands. If anything is familiar, it's that. ]
..I have. My home was an island out at sea. I grew up learning how to boat and swim about the same time I learned to walk.
[ Laughing a little at his reaction. The excitement is a fresh breath of air actually. ]
I was rowing a boat all by myself as a child. [ Like what child DIDN'T know how to do that. ] Though it's been a long while since I've gone out to sea. Most of my years in travels was mostly on land and on foot. Minus the time I went on boat to visit the country Ka Bue.
Well, including myself there's five of us. Odile is the oldest of the group, claims to be a researcher of some kind. Most of the group is young so she felt like it was her duty to tag along and help them out. She cares a lot more than she shows.
[ Said with amusement, and so much warmth and affection. They love their family. ] Then there's me, then Isabeau - he used to be a Defender, people that would help out with any problem no matter how little it was. He's a good guy, loud and friendly, someone you could count on to get you smile.
[ .. AHEM. This is getting embarrassing actually. ] Then there's Mirabelle, she's a Housemaiden of the Change belief. She's sweet, gentle, gets anxious pretty easily but she's wonderful. Then there's our little preteen Bonnie, they help get us by with their amazing cooking and makes sure we're taken care of snacks wise too.
[ ace is grinning the entire time siffrin explains, because it is honestly very adorable how much sif clearly cares about every individual they're describing. he is listening with rapt attention to the descriptions!! ]
Sounds like you've found yourself a really good group. [ why is a preteen cooking for them. that's fine. ] They seem great. So you guys just explore together now?

That makes sense.
[ While Siffrin is used to letting silence fill, just naturally quiet as they are, they should.. probably say something. ]
What's your world like? You said something like this isn't really common...

I think you're the only one I've met in these places who's actually said something like that!

..Don't know. Probably because.. I didn't have a destination in mind. I was just.. wandering. Going anywhere.
