Who: Heat, Sera, Cielo (maybe Serph and/or Gale later?)
When: Soon after Heat's arrival
Where: The Embryon base
Status: closed

Sera waited just outside the base with some clothes, a ball of nerves about the reunion. She was sincerely happy that Heat was safe and that he'd made it to Vatheon, but she could never forget the time spent in the Embryon's temporary base camp.

He'd taken her aside, just the two of them, and then...

It was just a kiss, but it felt wrong to Sera. She'd ran out of the room to the safety of her other comrades, in a state of stress and confusion over what had happened. She loved Heat, just as she loved her other comrades, but...not in the way he'd interpreted it.

Was this good or bad? Either way, she would be happy. Heat was one of the tribe.

Everything changed in an instant and Cielo was on his feet immediately when he hears the mug tip over.

Uh...what was he supposed to do? Heat would never hurt Sera (...intentionally...), but she's clearly frightened here. Alright, he didn't care if this earned him a punch from Heat, he had to do something.

"Er...well, now that you're here, Heat, do you want a tour of the base?"

Even though there really isn't much to look at in the first place.

Dammit. He'd done it again... Heat had an unnatural talent for making things worse instead of better; especially where Sera was concerned. He took a half step forward, eyebrows furrowing in annoyance -- he opened his mouth in an attempt to say something... anything -- just as Cielo rushed over.

Whiping his head to the side, staring at the now-broken mug, the corners of his mouth dipping into a deep scowl. He placed his hands on his hips again as he spoke, his tone sharp, "You should have done that in the first place." It would have saved him from this situation after all...

Sera stepped backwards cautiously, a bit of fear in her eyes. She didn't like it when Heat was angry. She found a bit of courage once Cielo moved in, standing up a litle straighter but still uncertain.

"We can show Heat around town, too." If the base tour didn't end on a bad note, that is.

Phew. That was about the best result he could hope for. Well, better follow up on that. Cielo makes his way to the base's door and opens it. After you two!

"There's lots to see in this place."

Heat entered first, a bit of a sour look still on his face, though he turned his attention towards the construction of the base once he was inside. His hands found their way to his hips as he swept his eyes from once side of it to another, even taking a moment to look up at the roof above them.

"Not bad, I guess."

"It's not as big as your base in Junkyard, but I think that's okay." After all, the tribe was down to five right now if she was included. Sera began to feel a little more at ease as she showed Heat around the house with Cielo, still hoping he might loosen up and not be so intimidating and angry.

"It's also away from most people," Cielo added. "The closest people are the ones who live in the forest and they like to keep to themselves." Which made them the perfect neighbors. Much better than the Vanguards, at any rate. All things considered, this building was pretty much perfect for a base.

Heat continued forward, his silence for the moment was a good enough indication that he seemed to approve. Sera had a point too, there was no sense in them having a sizeable base while their tribe seemed so few in number.

"Show me the War Room."
