I imagine you talk to her about very different things nowadays than when you first met her. It was like that for me too. I wanted to know why she thought of me as family and that's when she explained she didn't have more than a dozen people aligned to her.
[He hadn't expected his own question to be answered without further probing, but it's a pleasant surprise. More than that, the answer itself is news to him.]
I'd had the sense there weren't many of us. [Still, his tone suggests he hadn't thought the number was that low. The next thought slips out without him meaning to, thanks to the amulets' continued malfunctioning.]
[ He feels really strange... like he misjudged Kylo almost as badly as others have judged him. This person would consider the fact that Aiada might be lonely? He'd never have guessed, private or public thoughts. ]
Where do you normally find her in-person? I didn't get to see her full form. I'm not sure I'd be allowed either, but if there's someplace I could look for the puffballs too... rather than waiting for her to come to me for another 3 years... I could try to go see her myself more often.
I haven't met her larger form more than once. She was resting on a hill at the time, after the island no longer needed her to remain afloat. Perhaps she's tired of staying in one place for so long.
[Kylo can relate. He supposes there was some benefit to that whole love-fueled Elios rampage. ... it's not that great compared to how much he hated being forced to feel a certain way, though.]
Call to her through the crystals and I'm sure she'll answer.
I doubt you'll find her there much anymore, now that the island is rooted. But you'll likely have to leave the city to meet her directly.
[Instead of saying you're welcome like a normal person, a noncommittal noise comes through instead. That's... about as much as Arden is gonna get as far as a parting remark.]

She must be lonely...

[ He's a little stunned by the other aspect. ]
She was... carrying the island at one point?

[He'll send an image of her for reference.]
Wrapping up older threads due to his canon update
I... guess that would make it harder to meet us one-on-one like she did with me...
Uhm, thanks I guess.
