Out and About

[devwocean]

Characters: Orphaner Dualscar and open
Location: Pretty much anywhere you want, including his hive.
Time: During the day
Style: Any
Status: Open

[Dualscar's been mostly staying home for the last couple of days since the Grand Highblood arrived, but he can't stay in forever - for several reasons.

1. He's not a wiggler.

2. The Condesce is there and he doesn't want her to think he's a wiggler.

3. They need groceries.

So he ventures out for the first time in a while, striding purposefully through the streets with an eye out for anything big, purple, and hairy.

Not that he's scared, though. Oh no. Definitely not.]

[Don't think she didn't catch that! Truthfully she really didn't, but she sliiightly caught it She continued to keep herself at least a foot off the ground, staying wary of the older troll.]

I see that you're one of the adults who decided to stay down here during this time.

[devwocean]

...Wwhat do you mean, decided?

[0_0]

Uh.

[Oh no. Maybe she shouldn't give out this information.]

Nothing.

[Smooth.]

[devwocean]

[Suddenly something makes sense that didn't before]

Most a the trolls wwent up in the elevvator, didn't they. Wwhat are you still doin' down here, then?

[Whoops. Well, it's not like it wasn't really obvious at this point.]

I'm making sure that no one was left behind, no one that shouldn't be here right now.

[devwocean]

[He nods] Probably best. The wwigglers don't need to be here.

I agree. Especially when one of the trolls wandering about is incredibly dangerous.

[A small sigh escapes her lips.]

I should have gone back up a couple of days ago, truthfully. I'm already putting myself at a huge risk by even being out here!

[devwocean]

I'm sure he wwouldn't mind finding out wwhat your wwings look like crushed, or some equally daft thing.

[He glances away, discussion of this uncomfortable to him]

Wwhy don't you just get along, then? I think anyone wwho is still here, wwants to be here, or just isn't invvited.

[When he turns away, she shudders. This is really uncomfortable for her as well.]

He could have the last time I drew close to him. But, I can't right this moment. There's still someone who hasn't checked in with the group, and I really need to find him, or try to. I'm not going to be spending the entire time down here, I just... need to make sure that he's not here.

[devwocean]

[He glances at her, frowning]

Wwho hasn't checked in?

[0_0]

[She crosses her arms, sighing quietly.]

The Helmsman's descendant.

[devwocean]

[Oh, there's a complicated attempt to hide his facial expression. Another yellow-blood?]

Can't say I'vve met that one. Is he as powwerful as his ancestor?
