[he considers it]

Hmmm, I like the sound of that.

[he nods] Alright.

[geonomy]

Ooh, good point... If we could find anything like papaya, that'd be stellar.

[Papaya's his favorite fruit, after all! But... man, this means Clay's gonna have to figure out how to slip veggies into sweets for Trucy, huh.]

Oh yeah, Apollo told me about Nine Tails Vale! [He grins, his expression cheeky] Something about someone calling him a "horned yokai"?

[geonomy]

[He grins, leaning over a bit to bump Allen's shoulder with his own]

Stellar! We could go to our ships - I really doubt anyone's on their ships right now.

[Except maybe Apollo but he's a weenie ok]

Or our place, if you want that!

[nerdeology]

It's a very strange thing to see... malevolence can do that to animals, too, but I don't really sense any.

[Oh goddammit and now he's circled back around again. What the hell.]

Rather... it feels different. I'm not sure what to think about it.

[save_the_souls]

Nnngh, we could but...

We've been stuck in the ships for weeks, you know? Maybe there's a clearing nearby.

[geonomy]

That works too!

[He was mostly wondering just how private Allen wanted this, or if it'd be easier if they did this on level ground. But he can definitely understand getting sick of the ship's walls for a while, especially with Allen being on bedrest so much in the first week or so.

So Clay stands, then moves to hold out the crutches for Allen. Yes, Allen can do it himself, but might as well make it a little easier on him.]

We'll just find some place away from everyone else.

[save_the_souls]

Yeah...

[Nice to know bout malevolence though]

I remember about a year and a half ago, we came by another planet that reminds me of this one. I'll have to reread Beverly's reports on it, jog my memory.

[magicpanchira]

Papaya is delicious! I like mangoes, too... and pineapple. Most tropical fruits, really!

[ He certainly is, because there's no way she's going to be caught dead eating anything green and gross. ]

Haha, yeah! My friend, Jinxie, thinks he's a yokai because of his hair! Poor Polly, but man, seeing her reaction to him was priceless! We've all tried to tell her that while Polly is loud and scary, he's no demon... I think someday she'll finally come around!

[save_the_souls]

[Even if he can do it himself, he still appreciates Clay doing it for him. He'll pull himself up and take the crutches that are offered, smiling at him]

Thanks Cowboy. That'd be great.

[One of the ice cubes bobs and turns in the water, pushed by a slight breeze, but it's not particularly noticeable until Dezel goes for a long distance hairruffle. It's definitely his wind, surprisingly warm and definitely tousling Mikleo's hair. Fucking rude, really.]

There's something off about this planet. I'm still trying to figure it out.

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo ducks instinctively, for all the good it does. With a quiet sigh he lifts his hands to fix his tousled hair, glancing over towards the source of the wind- and the voice.]

You too? It's been bothering me since we arrived here.

[He sounds a little annoyed, but not especially. He'd been hoping he and Dezel would find each other here eventually.]

[exothermia]

[A shapeshifter. His gaze flicks over her briefly as she takes on her humanoid form. If he's surprised, he doesn't show it. It doesn't have the same scale-quality that Mystique employs when shifting - and changing into animals is a rarer talent. The older Mystique could turn into a wolf, he knows.]

So it would seem. Did I interrupt something important? [The last is a bit dry; there's an entire planet here, and staking a claim on some small meadow seems a bit pointless.]

[exothermia]

There doesn't appear to be anything in the way of civilisation here.

[exothermia]

[Even if he had, Erik wouldn't have seen it. He can feel the past brushing at the corners of his mind as always, though it leaves off the clawing pain for today. Nina's giggles as he tried to keep a straight face when birds started pecking through his hair.

Glancing over at Charles, he lets out a breath and simply inclines his head.]

And here I thought I was a professor in the subject.

[axiomed]

Even professors need a little guidance now and then. See how much my students have taught me over the years.

[exothermia]

I don't know what lessons you've learned, Charles. [He moves away from the subject of Nina, warding off the tightness that would otherwise descend on his heart.] Unless you mean how to operate the VCR in the media room.

[exothermia]

[He just sighs, and sips at his drink. This is just banter; no one's going to win it.]

[axiomed]

[ He splutters lightly. ]

I know how to operate the VCR!

[exothermia]

Yes. Because the students taught you.

[axiomed]

That is patently false.

[exothermia]

[He hums genially, at once both accepting and irritating about it.]

[axiomed]

[ He huffs. ]

I didn't need my students to teach me about technology.

[exothermia]

It was a joke, Charles.

[axiomed]

[ Charles gives him a baleful look. ]

[exothermia]

But it seems I struck a nerve.
