It wouldn't for most, save those native to this star. Even before the recent near-calamity it wasn't much to write home about.

[...Comparatively speaking. And that's not even getting into the part where his fellows had a hand in that near-calamity. But he doesn't address it. Just as he doesn't address the fact that she seems to be most distinctly unhappy. With what she's heard or with the idea of having been brought to another world, he can't say, but either way he doesn't really have any sort of gift for empathy.]

As for making your way back... it's unlikely at best. Even the inhabitants of this star can only manage to travel through the lifestream for relatively short distances and that only by having a sort of aetherial beacon to serve as a guidepost at their destination. To travel longer distance - and without that same signpost - would be tantamount to willingly losing oneself in the currents.

[Pause.]

Although there may be some precedent in your case. Still, I shouldn't like to try it, personally.

[And never mind the fact that he travels through both shadows and the aetherial rift itself, all without so much as the slightest problem. But whatever the latest arrival to the First might be, she's certainly no Ascian, though he can't deny there's something almost familiar about her. Something he has yet to quite manage to put his finger on.]

And yes, I should imagine so. Assuming the soldiers were looking for you, at least.
