[Eizen sighs and shakes his head.]

For a Reaper, I sure am lucky to have such thoughtful companions... Anyway, what have I missed?

[umbredna]

You love me.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Were you awake when Elios tried to keep us all frozen here like a freaky clingy boyfriend?

[cursedmate]

[...What.]

I don't believe so, no. Define frozen. [Because there were some cold snaps before the crystallization thing happened, which he supposes might tie into the whole situation.]

[umbredna]

Those cold snaps from a while back were from Elios being so full of love that he wanted to keep us all here, safe forever. Some of us even started acting like him.

[Like Edna!]

The island's stuck to the surface thanks to these weird...things that he made happen, too.

[cursedmate]

Then... The island's no longer traveling? It's completely stationary? [Iiinteresting. He's sure there's potential for exploration there, but it depends how dangerous the surface would be.]

[umbredna]

For now, yeah. The newcomers even showed up down on the surface this month.

[cursedmate]

[Aww hell yeah.]

Then... It's safe down there? The area is protected?

[umbredna]

No, there were giant lizards attacking them apparently.

[Don't even think about it young man.]

[cursedmate]

[Too late, he's already heading for the door!]

Heh. That almost sounds exciting.

[umbredna]

Eizen. Do not go punching the giant man-eating lizards.

[cursedmate]

[He chuckles and slams the door shut behind himself.]

Will it make you feel better if I stop by your house first?

[umbredna]

[You can just feel the exasperation.]

I don't know why I'm surprised. Exploring is literally in your name.

[Long drawn out sigh.]

I'll get a care package made up. Idiot.

[So yes, stop by.]

[cursedmate]

[Exploring is his name and his game, 'tis true. He's glad he has such an understanding sister. A warm breeze ruffles his hair as he walks.]

I don't know how I managed for so long without your help.

[umbredna]

Me either, to be honest. Do you want me to send Phoenix down there with you? He woke up the other day and can actually do things that aren't "look cute on my umbrella" and "be Aifread's chew toy".

[cursedmate]

Hang on... So he's returned to being a normal Normin? [On the one hand, props to Phoenix for holding out for as long as he has. Being a stuffed animal must be boring. On the other hand... HUH???]

[umbredna]

Yeah, it was weird. I had a conversation with Piphron about the normin and the next thing I knew Phoenix was doing backflips on my bed. He's acting like a stuffed animal now, of course, but I can send him down with you if you want.

[cursedmate]

[So part-time Normin, part-time toy. Huh... It's a good mix, he supposes.]

No, thanks. I'd say you need him more than I do, but... Honestly, it's because Phoenix's presence can be a little too much to deal with. [That is one loud Normin.]

[umbredna]

Eizen, if anyone knows how annoying the chew toy is, it's me. But he's still pretty useful.

[cursedmate]

Exactly. He's useful to you. The only things I need are my two fists.

[umbredna]

When I see proof of you casting a decent healing arte, I'll believe that.

[cursedmate]

There'll be no need for healing if they can't even graze me. [Flawless logic.]

[umbredna]

And now that you said that, you're going to come back bruised and battered to hell and back. Take Zaveid with you, he can cast a healing arte or two.

[cursedmate]

[Egghhhh...]

Zaveid doesn't need to get pulled down by the weight of my problems. [says the guy who has pulled down plenty of willing people with his curse already. The hypocrisy is strong with this one.]

[umbredna]

[....huh. Eizen only gets this hypocritical when he cares for people. Progress?

Regardless, Edna just flashes "HYPOCRITE" in big neon pink letters at her brother.]

[cursedmate]

[WOW.]

Alright, alright. I'll ask him.
