[You know?

That weird temple wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. Not by far now that he's back in this dimension. He floats a bit aimlessly, body broken, shell cracked and falling apart, some bones and insides shattered. His head aches in a way that he can't think.

All he can really do is hope Prime doesn't find him immediately right now. The light off his ring catches his eye and he looks at it, not fully registering that it's lit up.

A promise.]

[Okay book club is BORING but he's not saying that. That self awareness thing he's trying out.]

Flyer derby sounds cool, what's that?

[pyrighteous]

It’s a game where two teams fly around on staves and steal flags from each other. Magic is allowed and violence is encouraged!

[neonleon]

I am a fan of violent team games...

How often does your team win?

[pyrighteous]

About half the time? That’s pretty good.

[neonleon]

Okay, I gotta get in on this and up that win rate.

[pyrighteous]

—- you wanna join?

[ DELIGHT ]

[neonleon]

Yeah? Why not, it sounds fun and I wanna win.

[pyrighteous]

You’d be AMAZING at it. Especially with your teleports and stuff.

[neonleon]

-- Oh man.

You said the magic you got at the temple carried over right?

[pyrighteous]

Uh huh! You saw me turn into a palisman. I also have the other skill shares from Mouse.

[ a beat. ]

That’s - uh - a little bit of a secret for right now.

[neonleon]

Of course, of course.

[He smiles and decides to just focus. The Snail boon telekinetically raising his soup spoon to his mouth to sip at it with a grin.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter lights up immediately at that. ]

-- You kept yours too!

[neonleon]

Looks like it~

[He sounds so pleased by it, taking the spoon in his hand again.]

Can't imagine that wouldn't be useful on the field.

[pyrighteous]

Oh yeah! Plus you look like a demon, so no one will think twice about you using magic without a circle.

Or you can also explain, I think people would be cool with it. But. You don't HAVE to.

[neonleon]

[Doing some quick math in his head here-]

Wwwwwoooould it cause you problems if I did?

[pyrighteous]

No! No, I really don't think so. I mean, access to the Human Realm is basically normal to know about, so adding on other worlds is just going to be like "this might as well be true."

[neonleon]

Cool.

[He'll probably not gonna say anything for a while. He keeps munching at the soup and then the eggs. It's definitely different from Earth eggs, but it's not bad.]

But I definitely wanna join in.

[pyrighteous]

Good. I'm - I'm so glad, Leo.

You uh - might also get a ton of questions from Darius.

[neonleon]

...


Wwhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

[pyrighteous]

He - um - w-well he's bbbasically adopted me, and of course he's protective, and I came back taller and more scarred from an alien snake temple with a ring on my finger?

1/2

[neonleon]

[neonleon]

Good point.

[pyrighteous]

Yeahhhhh.

I mean I told him about our relationship! So he knows! He's just - going to um -

[ shovel talk, ]

[neonleon]

[Shovel talk.]

Nah, I get that. Thanks for the head's up. I'll, uh. Try not to make it worse.

[pyrighteous]

You won't! You're amazing!!

Buuuut Darius is just going to make sure of that!
