[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.]

[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.]

[pyrighteous]

She's like a sister to me! Even after I almost murdered her girlfriend that one time.

[ does that answer your question, ]

Oh, memories.

[neonleon]

[Oh thank god.]

...Was this during your before-times?

[pyrighteous]

Oh, yeah. I was still fully brainwashed by Belos at the time.

[neonleon]

Okay. Long as the. Trying to murder people is over.

[pyrighteous]

I-it's over! Promise! I haven't attempted murder in over a year now!

[neonleon]

Good.

[Just instantly relieved and smiles up at him, still just. Awed and holding that leaf bouquet.]

Everything else okay?

[pyrighteous]

... Everything else is fine. I'll show you all the amazing parts of the Boiling Isles once you're feeling better.

[neonleon]

And I'm looking forward to seeing it.

But I mean... After the temple and all. You're all right?

[pyrighteous]

...

I mean - it wasn't pleasant but -

[neonleon]

...But you're all right now?

[Look he worries so much.]

[pyrighteous]

I ...

[ he PROBABLY got possessed in endgame because that's his life. if he didn't it's because a bunch of people he loved got possessed. ]

I-I'm okay. I'm alive, I wasn't badly hurt. And if ANYTHING is left of Belos, it's trapped in that place now.

[neonleon]

[Leo kind of stares at Hunter before laying his head back to stare at the ceiling.]

Let him rot there.
