unfortunately this is not that weird for him. this is the first time he's ever seen it reform in reverse, kind of, but people sprouting horrifying body horror additions is just another day in the life of an octopath traveler. he is tense when it first starts, worried, ready to take some kind of action (just in case it happens the way it happens at home) but temenos, perhaps to his credit, he keeps his perfectly calm and placid expression firmly in place when his eyes open. the vibe of Hm. Interesting!
thankfully, though, the revive takes fine. owner laughs, and - he can't help it, letting out a ragged one of his own, shoulders sagging in relief. ]
Bravo, Owner. It seems you've saved us all. Have you considered gardening?
[ is this the time for jokes
but it is genuine, as temenos looks at the stupid flower and his bloodied arm and then back towards where todomatsu and kazuki and the ship are. his other hand goes back to staunch the bleeding on his stomach, and he just kind of gives up. ]
Try not to move, hmm? I only...have enough left to heal once, and I don't know what shape everyone else is in.
[ here comes the craft... it's a soft, whirring sound that announces its arrival, a little banged up on the outside but still good to fly. the gangplank begins to lower, extend, and then adrastea's unhelmeted head pokes out. her eyes aren't bleeding anymore, fortunately, but the wetware is still having trouble focusing - one of the eyes is dimmer than the other, while the other's intake where the pupil would be has dilated so wide it takes up the entire eye while it sparks a little. ]
... gods, alright. Neither of you is going to die if I pick you up, are you?
[ she at least waits until the ship has touched down, this time, to get out. but she will come to assist you two losers. ]
Kazuki and Todomatsu are on board. Let's get you all in one place and out of here before something else happens.
[ thankfully he is not out of it enough to not be able to realize this is adrastea. he will lift a hand in greeting when she arrives, and will thankfully not fucking die when she helps him onto the craft. his one good arm does clutch onto the bones rather tightly though, so it will be the awkward shuffle of helping him with that in the way.
in his actual hand, though, is the heartseed. owner releases his grip enough to show it off to her. ]
[ ghk. temenos is up, too, using his staff like a crutch - his other arm is around his middle, holding the last remains of a vine in a Hole so it doesn't come unplugged. this is fine. everything is fine! adrastea gets a tired smile, and when they get to the craft, he lifts his staff up and murmurs: ]
I deliver unto you a miracle. [ one more time. it's the very last bit of his magic, before they leave this godforsaken planet - one more heal. it's not very strong i would never steal your injuries from you but it is enough to ease some of the pain and get everyone stabilized enough to not fucking die. 1hp remaining as a team. we did it.
with that, he's dropping into a chair, eyes closed. goodbye. ]
[ she just kind of looks at the bones that owner has refused to let go of, decides that she doesn't care enough to ask right now, and instead helps get him on board the ship to his seat with the other two. ]
Mission accomplished. This was a mess, but at least we got that taken care of - the energy blast from whatever you did messed up some of the ship controls and my wetware, but cleared up the spatial disruption.
[ down he goes... and then adrastea fetches temenos, helping grandpa hobble up the gangplank while pressing a gloved hand over his to help stem the bleeding. ]
You really went running off like this. [ still, she stops when he does the group heal, and then - up he gets, into his seat, for his well-earned nap. ] We don't have a complete recharge for a full jump, but it's enough. We'll leave the planet's radius and then I'll activate the lightspeed jump.
Rest, for now. I'll get you back.
[ congratulations on your successful mission! this is, believe it or not, a golden ending. you only get your trauma, your injuries (healed enough that you don't die on the way back, to your preference), any non-weapon gear that you managed to keep your hands on, your fancy fits (as recked as they are), and your newfound bonds after having failed a stealth mission, but... well, you succeeded at what needed to be done, and you didn't succumb to the Hanging Gardens.
up until the beginning of trial, you'll find yourselves having brief coughing fits and spells of exhaustion as the pollen and spores work their way out of your systems. minor hallucinations will also come and go, both auditory and visual, but they're not unpleasant ones and instead leave you feeling overall warm for having experienced them.
