It's been weird but I've made the difficult decision to just have my character not acknowledge the Au Ra immigration as an event. The reason I did this was because most Au Ra RPers that I've met aren't treating it that way, so I'd be imposing my own lore (even if I think it's justified) onto them if I were to act like "one Friday, a new race showed up."
I've met Au Ra who claim that they've lived in Eorzea for a long time, so my response to Au Ra has been a bit of a retcon. I also find the "oh wow a new race how interesting" RP to be uninteresting so I'm mostly having Lilia passively take notice of the race.
Of course she'll be ignorant of them and their preferences and their natures, and will form an opinion on them gradually the way she has been doing the other strange races (i.e. the ones not indigenous to her native Ul'dah). But as far as the "immigration" itself forming part of her racial opinion, I decided not to.
