[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.]

Oh man, I wanna take you. It's always busy and loud and colorful and bright. Always something interesting to see, you can find almost anything there. I can't wait for you to see it.
no subject
It'll be really soon. I guess the train there doesn't take too long.
no subject
I'll be ready when you and Camila are. Until thennnnn- Enjoying this.
no subject
[ But Hunter doesn't understand human trains at all. ]
Good. Um - I don't want it to feel like I'm delaying you or anything. Though obviously I do want you to get time here too so you can ... uh. Decide what you want to do.
[ And clearly, Hunter loves his home and doesn't really want to permanently move to New York. ]
no subject
He leans in to nuzzle at Hunter's temple.]
I know you wouldn't try to delay me, I get it. We'll go when everything's ready. Annnnnd until then I can learn the games you guys play here.

Yes! I wanna see. [Already leaving the balcony to head to the door. Someone's excited.]
no subject
W-wait! They'll run if I don't come out there with you.
no subject
I also have no idea where it is. [But he's still bouncing on his feet a lil.]
no subject
[ But he hurries out back tot he garden, where there's a riot of branches and plants and forest. And sure enough ... there's a cute lil house with all sorts of animals hanging out. A little water feature for the aquatic palismen. Roosts for the birds and bats. Most of them are earth creatures actually? Some with a twist, like the goose with a bell on it. But.
They come flocking to Hunter as he grabs a bucket with treats for them. ]
no subject
Ooooh my gosh they're all adorable.
no subject
Go on.
no subject
For real? I can?
[He slowly smiles and crouches down before just... He wants to do this right, so he takes a second to think instead of just acting, carefully taking a few treats and holds out his good hand.] Here.
no subject
Just like that ...
no subject
Just like that?
no subject
[ Like this pine marten, which is bravely taking the snacks and redistributing them from the stranger to the rest of their crew. ]
no subject
...So how will I know which one?
no subject
no subject
[Leo watches them a little longer, really thinking.]
Okay- So which one of you adorable little guys. Or girls. Or- critters, I guess? Anyway, which one of you wants to be my palisman?
[He watches eagerly as they all watch him... then turn away to munch on their treat.]
no subject
You have to be a LITTLE more specific than that. Like - usually palismen only come to people who know what they want to do with their life. It's a whole thing.
And if you want to borrow one just for the day, you have to be specific there too.
no subject
[He looks from Hunter back at the palismen. And- really he thinks about it. Really thinks about it, watching them and feeding them slow treats. Like. Three each so far.]
Look... I wanna look out for him? [He jerks one thumb back at Hunter behind him.] I love him, and I'm gonna marry him. So I gotta keep an eye on him, and I'm gonna need all the help I can get. So if one of you thinks you could help me with keeping him safe? I'd be all for it.
