((Gonna give this arc a bit more thought, i'll pick it back up tomorrow or something. I will pick it back up though))

yeah, m-make sure to hold on-n tight.

*guns the motor and zooms off*

great, hop on-n. *pats the seat behind him on his jetbike*

((I sent a thing to Rachel.))

((Alright I'm just gonna set up a starting post and get to it tomorrow))

> What Rachel said before got you thinking.

What you had said about never feeling relaxed away from home, you really meant it. But Oasis isn't your home, though it is your place of work and home to your friends. Which is why you stay.

Your home is the forest, but with half of it burned, you decided to leave and seek ways to truly practice your skills when you had finished your training.

But Rachel said she could help it. Help is what it needs. So you decided to ask Rachel if she would join you on a trip to your true home.

Because it's about time you visited your lusus.

...m-maybe. it's pretty far, but if you're willin-ng to go...

n-no n-need to apologize, you didn-n't burn it down-n. i m-miss it, though, obviously.

yeah. sort of. a lot of it was burn-ned down-n.

a forested area, lush, rivers, waterfalls, ponds... the desert was quite a chan-nge in-n scen-nery.

i wasn-n't taken-n from-m m-my hive. i was scooped from-m the san-nds of the desert. m-my hive had burn-ned down-n lon-ng ago.

yeah, sure.

yeah?

*fails to suppress a small laugh* n-nice to m-meet you, rachel.

yeah...

*when she leaves, head in hands*

...

...

...sorry.

i guess... i guess i've becom-me too m-much of a wan-nderer.
