[Estelle was staring at one brochure in particular, but her concentration is broken when she's spoken to. She looks over, then down at Niah, then back up.]
Y, yes... This is...
I think it's the winter lodge...

I think it's the winter lodge...
[She nods, and allows him to see.
There's a photo of a lodge surrounded with snow, snowy mountains, and some pictures of a cozy interior decorated for Christmas with a twinkling tree and all. The brochure proudly boasts about the skiing and snowmobiling, and the large gondola!]
I never thought I'd see this again...

Th, the same thing that happened everywhere else... People started killing each other, and dying suddenly...
There was a demon that lived there... "Krampus." He wanted us all gone from there.

[She nods! Then she looks at the brochures, and there's a look of recognition in her eyes.]
Wait, I've heard of that one... [She's looking at Cittàgazze.] Kaeya told me about it.
[And her gaze turns to Niah.] Does that mean your companion here is...?

[She gives Niah a smile!]
... Oh, and if you were there... Did you know Yuri?
... Oh, and if you were there... Did you know Yuri?
Yes! From home -- we traveled together for some time. He's one of my closest friends!
[Her eyes light up immediately.]
You don't mind?
