[reverentresistance]

Good evening.

[Ky smiles at the Vine, polite and distant.]

Is there anything I can do around here that would be productive?

Besides petting the cats or building simply for the sake of building...

[As a police officer she was used to being far more busy. Not that she wished for more crime, but she did need a better way to occupy herself than just going through the library. The contents of which were...questionable. She'd gone exploring, but in the places where she felt she might learn something from her senses tingled with the threat of unnecessary danger. That hadn't stopped her, but she wanted something more.]

Alternatively, does anyone wish to talk about the world they come from? Or what they do there?

[As a temporary distraction it might mean something, and perhaps she would learn a useful fact or two.]

[The smile, formal as it had been, drops off of her face, and she ends that message to filter a different one to Dizzy.]

Dizzy. I want to apologize. In person if you're alright with it -- I can meet you somewhere.

[imperial_ray]

.... Sol's not forcing you into this, is she?

[ported]

I can tell you some things about where I'm from.

Well, if you have questions to ask.

[reverentresistance]

No.

She decided to talk to me, but I owe you for my behavior, not for anything related to her.

[reverentresistance]

I didn't have any specific questions to ask, but I'm sure I can come up with some if you wouldn't prefer to simply speak freely about it.

[imperial_ray]

... Good. I didn't want her to hurt you or anything...

[reverentresistance]

She didn't.

So, can I see you or would you prefer I not?

[dancing_edge]

Well... I sleep till the early afternoon, eat as much as I can, chase things for awhile, then go back to sleep again. Tao thinks that is a pretty darn good life!

[ported]

Well, I think where I'm from is pretty normal but I've taken trips to different places. Like Hell.

[imperial_ray]

... I owe you an apology too. So... we should see each other.

[reverentresistance]

What drives you, then? Nothing?

[reverentresistance]

You've been to Hell?

[Ky takes an obvious moment to process that.]

I'm so sorry.

[ported]

What are you sorry for?

[dancing_edge]

I like to be with my friends, eat good food, nap in the sun, and protect the rest of the Kaka from evil thingies. That's enough for Tao.

[reverentresistance]

Yes.

Do you want to meet somewhere outside? Or in private..?

[reverentresistance]

Hell would be...

It's not the sort of place that would be pleasant, even for those who deserved it. That's sort of the point.

[reverentresistance]

How can you protect them if you spend so much time lazing around?

[imperial_ray]

Could you... come by my room? If you don't want to bother with Sol, I can let you in through the window.

[dancing_edge]

Right now Tao is exploring the world and training to become a better guardian.

[reverentresistance]

No, I can come by. If she's in I can deal with her.

*It's not as though Sol will have much to say to Ky, after all.*

[reverentresistance]

How much time per day do you spend on those things?

[imperial_ray]

Mm. In that case, the door will be unlocked, but you should knock to let me know it's you and not her.

[ported]

It's not as bad as some people make it out to be....but I guess it is pretty bad.

[dancing_edge]

All the time that Tao is not eating or sleeping!

[reverentresistance]

Alright.

-Ky fortunately does not encounter Sol on her way to see Dizzy, and she's very soon heading to the room Dizzy shares with Sol. She knocks politely, and adds, softly-

It's me.

[reverentresistance]

How could it not be?

I suppose I'm just surprised...how did you come back?
