[ Emerald certainly doesn't have the full story. Less going forward since Cinder was no longer telling her and Mercury things. Salem didn't care to inform them. But she knows a fair amount- at least for the general maiden, Salem is unkillable, Grimm are totally manipulable and customizable, and so on. ]
No wonder Nora likes you so much.
[ If she was a former street rat, Emerald can absolutely see wanting to latch onto someone who could actually make the constant fear of not knowing where your next meal was coming from go away. Nightmares about survival, shelter, water and food insecurity, Grimm, other people- be they fellow homeless competing for resources, police, bandits, or even just normal judgmental jerks-- those things still plague Emerald to this day, just with the added flavor of Salem being a hundred times worse. Ren sounds like some kind of zen-generator. ]
[That was what brought them together - his Semblance saving the both of them during the Grimm attack on Kuroyuri.]
I'm sure she has other reasons... but that probably started it.
They've been friends this long, it would be strange if that was the only reason she was still at his side.
At least until Prismatica had different plans.
It was getting late, and most of his day had been used up in this failed attempt at helping with the suits. As nice as it was to be able to just talk with Emerald he didn't want to just hang around there forever.]
I think I'm going to head out. You can message me if you ever need anything, though.
I can't promise anything, but I won't fault you for asking.
[ Probably. She doubts he could ask for anything too weird. He seems like a sensitive guy. So she gives him a brief wave and nods, before going off to get out of this suit hellhole. ]
