Given that you didn't wake the first time I attempted to rouse you, I'd say I did.
[Okay, you're awake, she can dump him back to the ground no she'll lower him a little more gently than that, considering he was just unconscious and she doesn't want to knock him out again... but she's not as concerned now.]
What did you see beyond the walls before you passed out? Anything?
[If you expected bedside manner you're talking to the wrong twin.]
[ Alisaie is too nice? She should just drop him and also he prefers a straight to the point person so she'd probably be his favorite twin. He does slowly pick himself back up on his feet with a short groan. ]
No. Nothing at all. [ He is so angry and disappointed. ] As you try to go further, the pressure increases to the point you lose consciousness.
Whatever is holding us here must not want us to venture off yet.
I suspect a barrier would have precluded its own challenges. [Notably, the aether or technology to power it... so far she's seen a definitive lack of either.]
Perhaps once the fog clears we'll be able to see what lies beyond the city limits. For now, I think you're right. We may be better served by trying to solve the mysteries that lie within the city instead.

So it would seem. The question is, do they not want us to venture off so that they can spy on us, or is it truly unsafe out there?
[Look once you've seen the wasteland that the Flood brought, you kind of understand why you might not want to venture somewhere.]
Either way, we cannot know for sure now.

[ It’s strange and magical. The First is something, so that’s fair enough. ]
A barrier could have erected instead of this. [ A sigh. ] We’re left to our own devices for now.

[ He isn't sure when it'll clear despite how it's most likely tomorrow HAHA. But he looks back to the walled city before takes steps to return. ]
Have you had any solved? [ He might as well fish for info, too. ] So far the children have been useful sometimes, useless other times.
[ But his tone doesn't make it sound like he hates them. ]
