She exhales with relief, nodding. "Like that, yes. Though far more expanded than a single building. It's a sprawling place all its own, much like a country here on Earth might be. There are skyscrapers, quiet neighborhoods, parks, and even an area of nature left entirely to its own with creatures I've never seen or heard of elsewhere." Such is life in the Nexus, though. Everyone experiences and encounters things they'd never see on their own worlds.
Her smile turns wistful as she touches the strand of her hairpin briefly. "Where I'm from was connected to the Nexus, once. I arrived there many years ago, and have met many people in my time. Eventually, I met Thor and found my here, to Asvera, after..." She breathes out slowly. "They needed help settling in a completely foreign land, and I was happy to offer my hands and knowledge that doesn't come from a world as advanced as Earth is. I won't take credit for all the things they've done and accomplished, but I wanted to help." And so she did, gladly.
"With time, they've accepted me as one of their own." Here she chuckles nervously, cheeks turning a lighter pink than they did before. "I suppose my relationship with Thor has helped with that as well, though we've been friends far longer than we've been in love. My living here is also fairly recent, especially in the scale of their lives, but it already feels as if I've never lived anywhere else."
