The moment Aradia had received Lysunder's message, she was already getting herself ready to go. She had almost forgotten to reply back, which is what she certainly began to do as she tied her shoes.

i agree!
does this mean that youre feeling better now?
um you can also expect me by in about ten minutes at the latest

are we going to be doing something particularly challenging?

With that, she did in fact bolt out into the streets. Instead of actually zooming off through the air the winged troll took to the sky, but idled in the air, waiting for her questions to be answered.

i AM, uHHH,
pRACTICALLY FULL UP TO THE BRIM WITH CONFIDENCE AND ESTEEM,
iN WHICH i MEAN TO SAY THAT I AM INDEED FEELING GUTSY TODAY,
sO, uHH, dO YOUR WORST AT WHATEVER IT IS, tHAT WE NEED TO FEEL GUTSY FOR,
aLSO I WILL BE THERE WHENEVER IT IS YOU WANT US THERE,
aS FAST AS THESE LEGS CAN TAKE ME,

That message definitely brightened his day. Not that he was feeling particularly down, but he had this knack for worrying even when it wasn't always outwardly so. It didn't take him long to get ready (who needed pants? Not Tavros), the tiny, robot Tinkerbull fluttering along behind him as he darted outside.

1'M FEEL HORNFULS BETTER.
aND GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE BOTH OF YOU,
uH,
1'LL BE HERE, sO COME 1NS1DE WHEN YOU GET HERE.

He's got his triforce earrings on, so smaller horns as he sits inside the tree house, next to a small black leather case, legs crossed and a rather wide smile on his face.

awesome!
we wont keep you waiting for sure

This week seriously just got considerably better for Aradia, being able to spend time with two of her favorite trolls and all! Especially since she hadn't been able to for a bit of time. It doesn't take her long at all to make her way to the hive, and she moseys right on in.

i AM ON MY WAY, uHH,
aS WELL, rIGHT NOW,

Unfortunately, it takes Tavros a bit longer to get there, being the only one of the three of them lacking wings and all. He was able to manage running pretty decently now, finally getting a hang of where his center of balance was with a lower half that weighed so much more than the rest of his body. Another good thing about robot legs (besides the walking of course) is the fact that they don't get tired or achey, so he can keep running at the same pace the entire way out to Lysunder's hive.

He gives Aradia a smile and slight wave as she arrives, leaning his chin on a hand. He seems rather content, calm, a heck of a lot better than he had been and he's still pretty happy Aradia nor Tavros actually saw him like that. Lysunder feels pretty bad about not being there for them, whether they needed him or not.

"You ready for this Red?" Said with a smirk, slight show of his fangs as he looks her way, still waiting for Tavros.

Aradia responds with a small wave of her own. She is incredibly happy to know that he's back to his usual self, relieved that her efforts really did pay off. She takes a seat next to him, smiling right back at him.

Her eyes trail over to the object beside him. Huh. She examines the case, then looks back to him. "So! What are we going to be doing, anyways?"

Tavros came scrambling into the hive some time later, breathing heavily from the sprinting but grinning wide. Lysunder had been worrying him, and it made him feel so guilty that he hadn't really had any idea of how to help. Not only did they share the same symbol, but they shared the same blood. That should mean something right? Regardless of how they all came to exist. He should have done something more than type confusedly at him.

"Heeeeey! I hope I, uh... didn't keep you waiting, for very long!"

"Well, we're mostly just going to catch up, heh, since that really is something we should do, but there's a second part if either of you are interested."

Tavros doesn't arrive too much later and Summoner grins in his direction, standing and going to the kitchen to grab a water bottle from a cooler, chucking it out of the kitchen right at Tavros, better catch it, man.

"Aradia you thirsty?" Said as he grabs a water bottle for himself.

"And don't worry about it, kid, we weren't waiting long at all."

"I do agree, that is something we should really do," humming a tiny bit, Aradia quirks an eyebrow curiously. "I might be, but it depends on what it is."

When Tavros arrives, Aradia watches Summoner stand up, turning her attention to the smaller brown blood who finally made his appearance. Of course, he wasn't going to go without a welcome from his team member. Aradia waves to him and a quick greeting of "Hi Tavros!"

However, whenever she was asked the question, she holds up her hands in preparation to catch a bottle herself. "Sure! I wouldn't mind something to drink."

"Hey, Aradia! What's, uh.....?"

Tavros blinked confusedly at the flying bottle for a moment before scrambling to catch it. Which ended up him fumbling around with it in the air for a moment before it finally falls, but he snags it real quick and stands up straight again with a silly grin. Ha ha ha!

"Uhhh... thanks?"

"Sure thing!" And she'll get her own water bottle, a hand tossing it to her as he walks back into the room. Summoner seems to be in a rather pleasant mood, despite what he plans to tell them. Well, it's not really unpleasant, it's just hard for him. But the two of them mean a lot to him and he figures it might be a good idea to let them know and to hear their opinions.

"Okay, so, a few things." A pause, sitting down again and opening his bottle. He takes a drink, ending it with a sigh before looking back at the both of them again.

"Sorry I was uh, M.I.A. for a bit there, that wasn't right of me, and I hope the two of you were all right during that time?"

Unlike Tavros, Aradia has less difficulty to catch the bottle. She quickly opens it, taking a generous drink. Ahh, hydration. She was certainly okay with everything right now.

"It wasn't, but it's perfectly understandable." She pauses only to give a reassuring nod, "I was alright, I had a lot of distractions from John leaving."

She glances over to Tavros with a grin. He was just one example of the many who were distractions.

Tav smiled back over at Aradia as he moved to sit and be a part of their small group, finally pulling open the cap to his water bottle. His lower body makes faint robotic whirring sounds as he settles himself on the floor, folding his legs. "I, uh... I've been okay too."

Besides everything that happened with Karkat and trying to figure out how to handle certain emotions of the red variety, that is. "We were, worried about you. I, uh... missed you, and I'm sure that... A-Aradia did to."

"Good to hear from both of you, and yeah," a small smile, closing his eyes briefly.

"It's good to see the both of you, you shouldn't have worried though, I uh, was just going through some things. They in part have to do with what I want to tell you both. But first!" Eyes open again, looking to either of them before putting a hand to either of his ears, fingers lightly grabbing either ring through the skin there.

"Do either of you want to get a tag?" A snicker, raising a brow. It might be odd to them, sure, but Summoner's been known to get piercings to mark occasions. It was a thing to mark yourself up as you rose up in ranks, a lot of the cavalreapers had plenty of tattoos after all. Summoner's always been more towards piercings though, it always makes him think of when animals are tagged on their ears. Granted, piercings weren't something looked up to in the military really, but Summoner could careless about that. It's what he chose besides tattoos.

"You can opt out, heh, I'm not making ya. But I'll probably be doing something myself anyway."

"Of course! Though, I still would have appreciated even a little message or something to know that you were still alive." She couldn't help but tease him a little bit, considering how the week had actually panned out. She watched as he moved his hands up to his piercings, looking really curious to what he was doing.

Oh! ... Hm. "I've never really considered getting one, truthfully..."

Which was especially true, Aradia wasn't much for jewelry, to be honest. However... what's to say trying something new was ever a bad thing. She wasn't done speaking, and quickly added on. "But I would love to get one! I think it'd be really neat."

"Uhhh.."

Tavros blinked curiously at the rings in Lysunder's ears, chewing his lip. The thought had never actually crossed his mind to do anything like that himself, and he has no idea about any special meanings they might have. They do look really cool though!

He sits up a bit straighter when Aradia agrees. Now he had to do it, he couldn't be the only one not to get one! Especially when it's the two of them doing it. "I, uh... I will too! They made you look, really awesome!"

"Hmmm..." Smiles, lifting a brow. He moves a hand to the black case and lays it on the table, opening it. A few different sized needles and a range of other various metal hand held tools. The piercing case he picked up knew and sterilized not too much earlier.

A glance to it, taking out a clamp like implement.

"You guys sure?"

Of course, when the Summoner begins taking out the instruments, Aradia looks a bit hesitant. She really does want to, but she's still so unsure if she does.

Leaning back just a hair, she smiles a tiny bit. "... Those aren't going to hurt, right?"

His eyes went rather wide when he sees the pointy, stabbity looking implements in the box. He swallowed and chewed his lip nervously. There was no way he could back out now, he didn't want Lysunder to think he wasn't brave!

"Uh... y-yeah. Totally f-fine! Haha.."

A light chuckle, looking at the both of them as he puts the tool down and gets up again. A small smile to himself as he looks from Tav to Aradia, and back to Tavros again. Lysunder puts a hand up to his lips and laughs to himself, standing up, going back to the kitchen

Not long after he walks back out with what looks to be two wads of towel. He hands them each to them, they're pretty dang cold too. He just wrapped ice up in some small towels, nothing fancy.

"Numb up, nymphs. Best not feel those ears. And uh, we'll get through the talking while you do that."

His tone gets a little nervous at that second part, but he's facing away from them, moving to sit down. Lysunder sighs, shrugging his shoulders and leans back.

"So."

Well, she wasn't going to back out now! There's no way she was really going to do so.

Aradia watches the adult walk away again, only to return with the towels. After the explanation, she begins to try to pull her hair back to apply the towel. It seemed as if her hair was going to be a bit of a nuisance to her. Sigh. Darn her and having such a collection of hair.

Luckily for her, she keeps at bit of string on her at all times, setting the towel down to tie back her hair. After doing so, she tentatively applied it to her ear. ~~God why is ice so cold~~

"So... ?"

Tav clearly doesn't have, nor will he really understand the woes of having long, beautifully cascading hair, so he just holds the ice up to his ear and sits there with his shoulders slumped, brows furrowing because ice is cold and it starts to hurt a bit after not too long.

He actually got this look of determined concentration as he tried to keep the ice in place as long as he could. At least until Lysunder sat facing away from them. Then he just looks confused. He stared at Summoner's back for a moment, then over at Aradia, then back at Summoner again.

"Uhhh... what's up?"

Yeah, short hair forever, man, even is Summoner very much enjoys longer hair on others. For him though? No thanks, he has enough on him that get in the way ~~horns, wings~~. Summoner sits back, no ice for himself, just a smile, hands going up behind his head. He's forcing himself not to be nervous. It's important for them to know, Aradia and Tavros were the two young trolls he was closest too, and he kind of wanted to know their take on Darkleer.

He leans back, facing them, keeping that smile on.

"I'm kinda in red with someone. I'd like to know you're opinions."

Edited 2012-02-28 19:40 (UTC)

This is exciting, no wait. This is really exciting to hear something like that from Lysunder! Aradia leans forward just a bit, wings twitching in anticipation. She normally wasn't too interested in the business of relationships to other trolls, but Lysunder was certainly one of the exceptions.

"Well, I'm certainly listening."

"Woaaah! Really?"

Tavros grinned big and silly, eyes going wide. He generally thought along the same lines as Aradia when it came to everyone else's quadrants, a stark contrast to the troll he's rather flushed for himself. He couldn't help but care about this though, he looked up to Lysunder and honestly believed he could do no wrong.

"Who is it?"

A sigh, leaning back. His eyes wander over to them and he can feel his face heat up a little thinking about it.

"Well, I just, I wanted to tell you to get your opinions because, I think that they would be good to have and are important."

Maybe he's trying to push off telling them who yet. It's hard to say his name, it keeps catching in his throat.

If it was that, then Aradia would be the first to ask.

"That's perfectly alright. Just... who is it?"

Really, Aradia is pretty excited to know, wishing that he'd get it over with. Suspense is something she can only take so much of.

"Yeah!" Tavros just smiled and nodded, scooting a little bit closer. The ice is still in his hand, it's purpose forgotten.

"We, uh... can't have any opinions, if you do not tell us who it is."

"Ah.. heh."

Stare.

"Darkleer."

Do you see the icon? That's matching her look right now, not even gonna lie. In her state of excitement, she almost drops the ice, but is quick to catching it.

"Whoa, no way! Are you serious, Lysunder?"
