[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.]

[No idea what that means]

Got it, purple hair and a dad attitude. I'll keep an eye out.

[So he can definitely pretend to be asleep.]

[pyrighteous]

Yeah.

I think he'll like you. He just uh - might be protective. He knew the Guard before me.

[neonleon]

...He knew Ori?

[Oh well that's a whole different layer to think about. Leo cannot fuck this up, then.]

I think protective's probably an understatement then.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah ... I tried to explain about Ori, but I'm not sure he fully understood. I wish he'd come with me, but he wanted to stay with Viktor.

[neonleon]

Well. If we can get a solid way to travel dimensions, maybe he can go see Ori himself.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah ... I promised Viktor I'd go see him too. So. That's on the list.

[neonleon]

Then we're definitely gonna figure it out together. Just gotta get to New York and go from there.

[pyrighteous]

Exactly! but - AFTER you heal up.

[neonleon]

Right.

Yeah, of course. And Darius is gonna give me the stink eye after I heal up right?

[He wouldn't give a shovel talk to a turtle who was just almost dead right???]

[pyrighteous]

Uh.

I mean, I hope so?

[neonleon]

Then I also hope so.

[He's eaten about what he can manage and starts setting things aside.]

...I probably said this already, but I missed you.

[pyrighteous]

[ He takes the plates from Leo. ]

I - I missed you too. I'm sorry it took so long.

[neonleon]

Hey, it's fine. No one can just build an interndimensional doorway that can take you exactly where you wanna go for the first time in a day.

[pyrighteous]

... Yeah. It was - it was a little tricky, even with help and all the prep we did.

[neonleon]

Glad you did it though.

[He reaches for Hunter's hand with his bad, bandaged up one being closer to him and all.]

So. You still got me. That's the important part.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter takes it and squeezes gently. ]

Y-yeah. Everything else ... we can figure it out.

[neonleon]

Exactly.

We got plenty of time now.

[pyrighteous]

After you rest.

[ nudges him!! ]

[neonleon]

Right. Yeah.

Of course, after I rest. Why would I try to do any of that before I rest, I gotta rest first.

[pyrighteous]

...

Leo.

[neonleon]

Hunter?

[pyrighteous]

Please look me in the eye and tell me you will DEFINITELY rest first.

[neonleon]

[Just. Lookkkkkkkks at Hunter, like he's considering. Before sighing a little. He looks Hunter in the eye seriously.]

I promise I'll wait until I'm more rested before doing anything.

[pyrighteous]

[ a soft sigh. but a smile. ]

That's good enough.

[neonleon]

Okay, but in return, that Darius guy has to wait until I'm more rested to try and give me the talk.
