[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.

[and BOOM Drift instantly cheers up. Pretends to, anyway. The smile's too goofy looking to be legit but HEY it was time for a better topic. He claps his hands together enthusiastically.]

Right, good idea! That's why we came out here, isn't it?

[knight_light]

[That sudden and goofy grin gets an amused look from Wing. It's almost weird to see that look on the bot's face, not to mention that silly clapping.]

It is. C'mon. [will head out for the habitation wing of the Hub.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[yeaaah get used to it Drift does this a lot]

So when you said a room, did you just mean one room, or one for each of us?

Tell me if you want an edit. ~slips in some HC

[knight_light]

[He will, but until he does it'll amuse him. Maybe even after he's used to it.]

[That question makes him pause...and then shrug.] Either is fine with me. Up to you.

[He's spent the last few weeks sharing a room with Drift. The bot sulked about it the whole time, but Wing had been put in charge of making sure Drift stayed not only in the city, but away from anyone else outside of the Circle of Light. Putting the runaway Decepticon in his room had just made sense. If this much more bubbly Drift wanted to share a room again, Wing had no reason to complain or object.]

IT'S ALL GOOD BRO

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Hm.

[Well hang on Drift pauses to think about this]

Well, when I have time to myself, I usually prefer to spend it alone...

[but then there was the whole being paranoid thing and he's thinking he'd rather have Wing close by? Damn he isn't sure.]

I don't think I'd mind sharing space with you, though. It wouldn't be the first time.

[knight_light]

[Wing smiled.] Just because we may choose to share a room, doesn't mean we have to spend all of our time together...not like before. [His smile turns a little wry at that, but only to cover his....guilt at having to keep Drift where he didn't want to be...having to hold him prisoner because Wing had decided to save his life.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Well right, obviously! I'm not planning on spending all of my time cooped up here.

[psh Drift got over that a long time ago, bro. He waves a hand dismissively.]

[knight_light]

[Wings nods.] Good, neither do I.

[And stop being paranoid that he's going to disappear again. He's...w-well he had no intention of dying either, but yyyyeah...okay, fine, be justifiably paranoid. Guh!]

[He steps into the habitation wing and looks around. Well....may as well start checking doors. He'll knock...if there's no answer he'll try the handle. If it's unlocked he'll peek in, if it looks uninhabited he'll step in to check it out. It'll take a try or two to find and open room. He steps in and looks away. It's a nice room, cozy without really feeling small.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[THANK YOU I WILL.

Drift hovers in the door way and looks the room over. He rather likes it, it's roomier than the last place he stayed, anyway, even with two of them there.]

The walls could use a little work, but it's not bad. What do you think?

[knight_light]

I like it, and it doesn't seem occupied. I think we can safely claim it.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

Sounds good to me. I don't really have anything to move over here, so... I guess that's it. Welcome home, right?

[knight_light]

[chuckles] Welcome home.

[he'll head for the door, clapping Drift's shoulder as he passes. Get used to it, Drift, he likes that you let him treat you like a friend now.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Drift pauses, still lingering in the doorway and staring into the empty room. All of this still felt surreal to him, like a weird dream, and if he he woke up right now Wing would be gone and he'd still be on his little shuttle leaving the Lost Light. But no, he was here, and Wing was here, and for the first time in a long time, Drift was actually pretty okay with how how his weird, unpredictable life was going.

He was so consumed with his own weird thoughts that he hadn't realized just how long he'd been standing there staring at the room after Wing had passed him. Whoops, huh.]

[knight_light]

[Wing's a little preoccupied with looking around some more and doesn't notice right away. By the time he does he figures he'll catch Drift again later, he promised to call TC when he was available to meet later, and it's "later", so...]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[ENJOY YOUR BOOZE, WING. Drift's going to wander off and do DRIFT THINGS for a while]
