[ what the fuck ]

Let's uh. Talk in person.

Where?

My room.

[leaves him on read and goes to knock]

[ Maybe this is during the performance while everyone is being mauled

He pulls the door open and ushers him inside ]

Hey.

[he looks normal because it wasn’t a current photo and the vines are safely restrained]

Heyyy.

[ Drags him into his room. The bed looks barely slept in, but there are vision items scattered around, and two ring boxes on the desk for some reason ]

Show me.

[takes off his coat

takes off his second coat

takes off his third coat]

[takes off his fourth coat]

[ oh my god ]

Bro...

[this is just how Forge lives]

You texted when I was in the workshop, okay?

[takes off his fifth very thin coat and reveals he is in a plain black t-shirt. the vines are in fact laced down tight against his arm with a bunch of jury-rigged cloth straps. they wiggle in Aloe’s direction a little even so]

...

[ Touches one ]

[it throws a little loop around his finger and puts out a couple of purple buds]

[ omg ]

OH

They like to do that a lot…

[ He is clearly enamored, but his brow creases in concern as he looks up at Eriks again ]

Do they bother you?

[his smile is crooked]

It bothers me that I can’t control them.

[ There's a pause, but then he moves away to pull something out of one of his drawers.

When he holds it out, it's clearly some kind of arm binder, with embroidery up the length of it. ]

Try this?

Are you sure—? You don’t need it?

I do want it back, when you don't need it anymore. It's special to me.

But I've got the feathers under control enough now -- I think you'll benefit more from it right this moment. Especially while you tinker with dangerous stuff.

[exhales and accepts it]

Thanks, bro. I’ll keep it in good shape.

Good. I'll kick your ass if you lose it.

[ He sprawls on his bed, staring at the ceiling ]

... Do you know what you're gonna do once we dock?

[he sits on the edge]

I was gonna finish up a couple things. It’ll all go a lot faster with full shop resources and tools.

Other than that, probably check out the site where Lea and I were found and see if there were any clues left there.

You?

...

I need you to... not do that.

Um…

[ Lets out a breath ]

You've heard of the Cordionna, right?
