Llama 22, Evening, Voice

[fivemilesdeep]

[Ryo gets on the ICPs the evening of the visit to the Nexus with a warning - better to share what he's learned than to let someone get hurt, even if the implications are...a little embarrassing.]

Be careful with the nectar pods if you eat them - the glowing liquid doesn't come off without a few good washes, and evidently it attracts one of the really big fish out there. Don't get any on you if you don't want to get...well, eaten.

Though if anyone wants to try to snare one of those fish, I...have bait you can use.

[Guess who painted glow in the dark designs on his hoodie because he was having fun. Guess who was lucky enough to get a warning before anything had the chance to snap him up. Guess.]

I do plan on going out and gathering more of the plants tomorrow to help with our food stores, if anyone with an arms band or another means of storage wants to join me.

[The sentence got away from him, sure, but the enthusiasm certainly came through, and that's what's important.]

Well, good. I'm happy for you.

[And he genuinely, audibly is - this world is an undeniable Good Thing for at least one person aboard the train, and that's worth a bit of happiness.]

[jingyeets]

Oh. Ah... er, thank you?

( He really just does not know what to say to that. A longer pause, and... )

Did you... want to go flying or something?

[fivemilesdeep]

Uh-

[There's a silence on his end after the offer. He hadn't been asking for it, but the idea of flying through the sky on a dragon is incredible, and he needs a few moments to attempt to wrap his brain around it.]

I- yes? I mean, if- if you want to?

[jingyeets]

I'm flying either way.

( Said in a very, I made the offer, isn't this a if you want to situation? )

Tomorrow'd be easier, ah? Unless there's time before we're supposed to sleep here or we don't do the whole suddenly in bed thing like every other Void-traveling day.

[fivemilesdeep]

[He doesn't want to impose, okay]

[...on the dragon that has just offered to take him flying.]

[Yeah, this is all still very mind-blowing to him, but evidently it's happening and surprise has started to give way to excitement.]

Tomorrow, then. I don't know if we have mandatory sleep hours while we're here, but it's probably better not to risk it.

[jingyeets]

I'd complain about the sleeping thing more if it wasn't less time than's required by clan precepts.

( Who has laws regarding proper sleeping times? The Lans are very fond of their schedules. Even if he tends to buck up against them, he does still generally go to bed on time and wake up at the same time every day—which now means he wakes up with them coming out of obligatory down-time, and sometimes even is awake when they go into it. Sometimes. )

Tomorrow after wake-up, then. The fish are lazier, like they're just waking up too.

[fivemilesdeep]

[He's intrigued by clan precepts - the clans in Jingji's world have to be different than the clans in his world - but he lets it go for now. There will be time for more questions later; right now, he's just excited.]

I'll be there. Thank you - I'm looking forward to it.
