[Hello Haven.  Have a familiar face for at least some of you.  Wing has left the temple.  It's clear he's got a lot on his mind; this city, what the Acolytes told him, that he's even alive, is a lot to take in.  He decides to start with what he knows he'll need.]

Hello.  If anyone could tell me of a decent place to stay, I'd really appreciate it.

Seem? You are a completely different person. [That smile says he approves, though.]

It's good to see you like this, Drift. [He really means that. He'll even clap Drift's shoulder.]

[action]

[Drift's at a bit of a loss for words, but he can't help a small grin of his own.]

What, you mean not scowling?

[he was kidding, of course]

[action]

[knight_light]

[He may have been kidding, but it was true.]

The ready smiles. The look. Enlightenment. You'll have to tell me about these auras. [if nothing else he's curious.]

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I will. I guess I have a lot to catch you up on, actually. Once I've got my head in order, anyway.

[action]

[knight_light]

Looking forward to that.

Where are you staying? [Just because he was in the temple didn't mean he was staying there.] I was thinking of moving to this Hub place...apparently I helped design it. [sigh, feels so strange to be told he's been here before, he almost feels guilty that he can't remember people who clearly know him.]

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I've just been staying here at the temple. I've only been here a short time, so I haven't really gotten around to deciding on living arrangements.

It's really strange though, isn't it? People saying that you've been here before, I mean. People were telling me the same thing when I first arrived.

[action]

[knight_light]

It's very strange. I can't imagine when or how I could have been here before, but I feel bad that I don't remember these people who clearly know me.

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Some of them were pretty upset. I know it isn't something I could have helped, but I still feel... I guess guilty about it?

[action]

[knight_light]

Guilty...that's exactly it.

[He sighs.] I guess all we can really do is try to get to know these people...again. If they'll let us. [he hopes so. He's looking forward to meeting with Thundercracker later, he's one that seemed upset about Wing not knowing him.]

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I don't think that will be too difficult. So far, most of the people I've talked to have been okay about it.

[action]

[knight_light]

That's good. [There was one he was concerned about. Apparently he'd hurt the person quite a bit by not saying goodbye...]

So how long have you been here?

[action]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Not long. Couple of weeks? I'd just left the last ship I was on, and then suddenly I was here.

[action forever]

[knight_light]

[he gives Drift a lopsided grin.] How about giving me a tour then?

[SUCH ACTION]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Ah- I can, but I'm still learning my way around myself. I haven't... actually gotten out that much. I can show you the Hub and the library...

[knight_light]

Weeks here, and you've not explored much? Well, we should fix that. Starting with the Hub and library sounds good.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

It's not that I didn't want to, I just... I've had other things on my mind.

But you're right, we should have a look around.

[knight_light]

[he claps Drift's shoulder.] C'mon, let's see what our new home is like.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[you know, the shoulder clapping was kind of WAY NICER than the continuous ass kickings. Drift could get used to this]

Where to first? Any preference?

[knight_light]

[Well, Drift wasn't in need of ass kickings anymore, so shoulder claps are just better now.]

[He shrugs and motions around the steps outside of the temple.] Anywhere. This is as much as I've seen of this place so far. This and a bit in there. [he thumbs back at the temple.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

You mentioned that you were thinking of moving to the Hub. We can go see what that's like? All I've seen of it so far is the bar.

[knight_light]

[He nods.] Someplace more central sounded like a better option to me.

[he motions for Drift to lead the way.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[And Drift does indeed lead the way, just walking for the time being]

See, I thought that at first, but I figured I'd have more privacy if I just stayed at the temple. That and it's probably quieter. I think I'd have an easier time meditating there.

[knight_light]

We'll find out. It feels a little strange being in some demigod's temple who's not even here right now. Though I was told I was welcome. [he shrugs]

Besides, I've been told this Hub place was my idea, supposedly. If I designed the place I'd probably like staying.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Honestly? That's probably the least strange thing about all of this.

[Drift cocks his head inquisitively. He can't recall if anyone had told him that bit] You designed it? I mean... I guess you wouldn't remember, but now I'm definitely curious.

[knight_light]

So I've been told. [shrugs] Or at least that the place was my idea. I've at least got to check it out, right?
