"So I have heard." G'raha says with a smile - he's seen it, too, but while he wants to tell Viktor the truth, he also doesn't want to drop it in such a casual way. At least, that's how he justifies the lie to himself, trying to stave off the guilt that lingers beneath the surface.
"Ah, yes, the call of adventure." He observes with a smile, wishing there was a non-weird way to ask more about Viktor's childhood, about his life before the stories. G'raha knows the man better than most who only know him by reputation, but there's still so much more he wants to learn. He might be in awe of the viera's accomplishments, but he likes the man behind them as well.
For a moment, when the question comes, G'raha almost describes the Crystarium - he'd been there so long it felt more home than even Allag, and this journey came so soon after returning that he's barely had time to reaquaint himself with the place he grew up.
"Allag is... beautiful, and bright. I hope perhaps you will have a chance to see it one day." He is proud of his home, even if he's more proud of the Crystarium, and he would like to take Viktor there - though that probably has more to do with how he feels about Viktor than how he feels about Allag.
"I confess, I spent much of my childhood reading stories of heroes and adventure, I always longed for an adventure of my own... unfortunately it is somewhat frowned upon for a prince to take up such a life." Not that it had entirely stopped him, though his time in the First was hardly the same as becoming a wandering adventurer in the manner of the Warrior of Light.
