[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.]

Hopefully I don't mess that up.

[He does finish his food before sitting back and rubbing at his bandaged arm a bit.]

Food was great, btw.

[pyrighteous]

“Thank you, Leo. There will be more available for later if you need it.”

I’ll take care of him if he needs it, yeah.

[neonleon]

I'll have to cook for you both when I can.

[And not like. Drop everything with his bad hand.] What else should I know?

[pyrighteous]

About here? Uh - well, it’s all a palistrom tree, so you might need to be careful with magic. It can react sometimes!

[neonleon]

[He nods to that.]

Got it, so. Holding off on that until we know for sure what it does.

[pyrighteous]

Probably for the best.

In - uh, in my case? It helps boost me. I’m still not very good at standard magic.

[neonleon]

I wondered about that back at the temple. Glad it helps.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah ... it's been better now with my new power sources but.

[neonleon]

But it's still good to have the boost. I get that.

[pyrighteous]

It makes practicing SO much easier. I have to struggle anywhere but here.

[neonleon]

I bet.

[He leans his shoulder against Hunter's for a second before going back to finish his food.]

What else?

[pyrighteous]

Uh - I mean, that's kind of the most important part? The workshop is here, of course. And the palisman grove is out back.

[neonleon]

Okay okay...

[Munches on a chunk of the meat in the eyetalian soup. Not even fazed a little.]

Well. I can tell you, I'm not allergic to anything, I've got first aid experience and healing magic. And if you guys need anything big moved, let me know, I got ya.

[pyrighteous]

[ Dell laughs gently. ]

"You look like you should rest first. That's your first priority here. Hunter and I will take care of the rest."

[neonleon]

I knoooow I'm just -

Offering I'm not just here to mooch.

[pyrighteous]

[ Dell sort of tilts his head. ]

"Do you always feel like you have to earn your place in the world, Leo?"

[neonleon]

[LASER GUIDED????

He looks a little off guard by that before looking back down at his bowl.]

..Sorta? Just been my brothers and our pops for so long, we work together for everything.

[pyrighteous]

"That's admirable, of course. I'll enlist your help with chores once you're feeling better."

[neonleon]

Cool. Just- Long as I can help.

[pyrighteous]

"Hunter needed time at first too, you know. To rest and recuperate. Give yourself at least a week."

[neonleon]

...Just to be sure, are we talking a week like a human week or is that different here?

[pyrighteous]

[ Dell laughs. ]

"It's the same thing. Just seven days."

[neonleon]

Okay- Have to check. That temple place messed up how time works, taking some getting used to.

[pyrighteous]

"You've said that..."

[ The smile deepens into concern. ]

"It seems that place did a number of things to the both of you."

[neonleon]

[Leo trails his fingertip around the side of the bowl idly now, just something for his hand to do. It still feels weird not able to... feel the bowl with this hand.]

...We did our best.
