[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.]

[His smile softens a bit watching Hunter, squeezing his hand again.]

Hey. I'm glad you have someone who worries about you like that. That Darius guy. And Ori. And Viktor. And the rest of Mouse, and Donnie, and Raph, and I could go on.

[pyrighteous]

Y. Yeah. I’ve got so many people now…

[neonleon]

You do. You deserve all of that and more, Hunts, you're worth all the worry.

[pyrighteous]

W-well - I want to make them worry less!!

And he will, he just - he needs to see that I make good decisions now. That I've learned how to trust good people like you.

[neonleon]

[Leo smiles a little more.]

I'll do what I can to help that, then. He'll see it.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. He definitely will.

You should get more rest for now though.

[neonleon]

I'm resting plenty.

[Just gonna start carefully laying back against the pillow pile again.]

[pyrighteous]

I know. But you still need more, Leo. As much as you can get.

[neonleon]

[He hates making Hunter worryyyyyyyyyy hhhh]

...How long're you gonna be here?

[pyrighteous]

The whole time!

... With, uh. The occasional break. There's a lot of stuff within walking distance.

[neonleon]

Right.

[A beat.]

Cool. Cause. This is super cool but...

[He wants someone familiar.]

[pyrighteous]

... You're in a totally different world. Yeah.

The Boiling Isles can be a LOT.

[neonleon]

Probably. And kinda. Stuck in one room...

[He's glad Hunter's here.]

[pyrighteous]

Y. Yeah.

That's uh. Pretty boring, huh.

[neonleon]

I'd be lying if I said I'm not going a little crazy already.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter thinks for a moment, then brightens. ]

I’ll get you a scroll. And Penstagram!

[neonleon]

Uuhhh...

A scroll is like. Paper, right?

[pyrighteous]

Not this scroll.

[ Hunter waves his finger and summons his own scroll. ]

You use it to talk to people from across the Isles!

[ He has like. A hundred unread messages. ]

[neonleon]

[Leo leans in to look closer at that, recognition on his face.]

Oooh, like a phone. Got it.

[pyrighteous]

Exactly like a phone! Except you can’t drop this one on your face.

[ He lets go of it - and it hovers. ]

[neonleon]

[GASPS SO LOUD.]

Ohmigoshthat'ssocool.

[pyrighteous]

Right??

I’ll get you one. Luz will be SO excited to talk to you.

[neonleon]

Ooh, YEAH! I wanna meet the mysterious Luz, see what her deal is.

[pyrighteous]

She's great. Like - you're kind of a lot alike!

[neonleon]

Really? Then I SUPER gotta meet her now.

pDid he have competition. DID HE WIN.]
