Husband wants to go to a place northwest of here called the Glass Mountains, which he says is a cluster of buttes known for their selenite crystals. He thinks we need to look at different types of places to find different types of plants and minerals. There are many things we found in Eorzea that we have not yet seen in Earth; he hopes that finding similar places will give us similar nodes.

Though I also wonder if he wants to jump off of them. He enjoyed jumping from high places in Eorzea, ever since the first time he died and found himself back in Ul'dah. He noted that every area we visited had tall things one could jump off of, like the Observatorium in Coerthas, Zenith in the Churning Mists, the observatory in Lakeland, and the Peering Stones in the Fringes. I would sometimes join him for the jumping...falling for such a distance was an interesting feeling, but I did not pursue it as he did.

"Is a butte a kind of mountain, then?"

"Yeah, it's flat on top with sheer sides."

"Like the Peering Stones?"

"No, that's only got one sheer side, so it's more of a mesa."

"Does that mean you will not be jumping from the buttes?"

In Eorzea we had a sense of what we could jump from and survive. The Peering Stones was such a place, so of course Husband jumped from it. And he died. The fall did not kill him. The antlion at the bottom of the fall did.

I enjoy reminding him of this.

"We don't know yet whether we respawn."

"This is a way you could find out, Husband."

"...I love you too."
