throné is here! she's got a cute dress on, and from under it are snake scales, crawling up across her face. right now they're a matte black. she's got a latte (thank you margaret for introducing her to these) and she's reading. but when she sees them, she pauses, putting her book down.
for a second, the scales ripple bright colors, danger colors, and then they settle down back into black. a beat.]
... Hello. [...] How are you doing, after all of that?
[ their gaze is on throné, so they see the threat ripple across her scales. but they don't react besides a slow, single blink of the glow inside their helmet before inputting an order for the robot server to go fetch. ]
I'm alright. The other four had it far worse than I did, and Io was able to repair my wetware without issue after I spent some time in the pods. [ a pause of consideration. two street cats sort of gauging one another again after finding a flicker of tension. ] Still, I would have subjected myself to far worse to make sure that they were brought back.
You're welcome. [ simple. like they know what this costs for throné, considering the stiffness. but they don't seem to mind as they accept their strong, dark tea from the robot and. sits. ]
... I know what it's like, to lose people. [ it's not. stiff, but it is a bit slow, like it's also costing them a little here even if they're also genuine. ] If I can help it, I do what I can to ensure that no one else has to suffer with it, least of all with those most important to them.
[ they give this the due respect it deserves, nodding and saying no more to that. they understand. and, honestly, adrastea would have been fine with throné's ire for what happened to her important person. ]
You mentioned. Ask away, I'll see what I can give you.
[ that gives them a pause. her pause. you got the unmask after this thread happened. ]
He and I talked about them in particular, yes. It's... a conundrum for us. We've been spending the week so far slowly leaving a haze, and it hasn't fully cleared up yet.
The storms are one of the things that hasn't cleared up. I can explain what they are, at least, and know that they happen. But any in particular that happened during our tour aren't something that I remember currently.

... Thank you. [she says, a little stiffly, but it's genuine.] For bringing him back.
[all four of them but. you know the one that matters most.]

He's good. You're lucky to have one another.

... Yes. [she agrees, finally, and she's a little less tense.] I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have him.
[a beat. the snake scales recede a little, and settle.]
I did have a question for you, though.

I assume you've been asked about the storms? Temenos has told me a little about these.
