"Probably a good idea." Said Rio, glancing over at Skye's still quivering form. "Best to leave him alone for awhile."
An RP with @TiramisuGrenouille !!!
"Will do," Megan said, heading into the kitchen. I bet that's somewhat how Tobias feels…. Except Steve stuck around after he came back. She pulled some measly leftovers out of the fridge and put it in the microwave.
Rio watched her carefully, before studying Skye for a moment. even I dont know the full story. I knew that their mom left for some reason, and i know Skye was a street rat.. but idk much after that..
(Because…. you know…. you type idk while writing a story, lol)
Megan finished cooking them and distributed the food on two plates, leaving one out just in case. Just in case… She sat over in the living room to avoid disturbing Skye. Best to leave him be…
Rio took one and joined Her, "so i was thinking Id go check out Marceos lair agin tomorrow." He said softly.
(Im on my phone and i keep getting interrupted for one. Two I know Skyes backstory. Rio does not.)
(Lol jus sayin)
"Well, we should. It's time that we start thinking about having you guys go back to where you belong." Megan scratched her head a little. It has been quite some time…
"That'd be nice" said Rio, "Though I'm not at all looking forward to having to explain what happened to my brother…"
Megan sighed. "But all in all, you should go back before too long." It'd be horrible if they were stuck here in this awkward society to them….
"Yeah, that'd be nice" Said Rio, absentminded unscrewing a canteen he always kept at his side.
Megan sighed absentmindedly and stood up. "Well…" She said quietly, rubbing her arm. "I'll go and take my shower and probably go to bed. I have another early day tomorrow…."
"Night Megan" said Rio.
Skye sighed as he shook himself, trying to shake off the bewilderment of the day.
(Time skippy, or do you want a chance for Skye and Rio to have one of those weird talks where it reveals some stuff but not too much as to give something away???)
(Time skippy is probably easier, specially since Skye is gonna be really tight lipped for awhile.)
(Ooag…. Alright. Totally cool.)
Megan was up and running that morning, having her usual coffee and just chilling at the kitchen counter. ….It's still so different without having to wake him up in the morning… She sighed. Nonetheless…. It's good for him that he gets to know Steve better.
Rio came in a few minutes after Megan had gotten her coffee, "Morning"
"Morning…" She said, a bit somber. Megan took another drink before tilting her head down, closing her eyes and taking a deep sigh. It's for the best of them…
"So, I guess today we make a real effort at getting me and Skye home right?"
"I suppose…. Unless you aren't up for it yet." Skye still might need time to recover from that incident yesterday…. Megan took another sip of coffee.
"I'm up for it," said Rio, not sure if Skye is, but he can deal with it."
"Well that's fine." She got up. "But you're all gonna have to wait for me to come home after work." That is, if you need me in the first place. Megan shuffled on upstairs and got dressed, coming back down with her bag and stuff.
"First is scouting the place out, and maybe figuring out what Marceo's up to." said Rio, "Something I can do alone, Skye will let me know when you get back and then we can regroup here and head out again if we need you. Not that either of us is ungrateful for all your help, but I'd rather not put a nice lady like you in any more danger."
"That's…. Very true." She headed for the door. "Well, I'll see you when I come back. Hopefully by then, Skye will be feeling a tad better."
"i hope so too.." said Rio, watching her leave.
Megan arrived at work, and Steve was already waiting for her in that one room where she repaired Tobias multiple times. "Glad you could make it." Said Steve. "I was thinking about making a sibling or some kind of cousin for Tobias. Just by the mood he has, it's telling me that… He's getting quite lonely…."
Megan frowned. "It's unfortunate… But true at the same time." However…. Maybe we should just make him a distant relative to avoid that kind of questioning…
Rio sighed as he went past the sad looking lump of purple fur in the yard. "I'll see you later ok?" he said to Skye, "Please don't do anything stupid while I'm gone." he quickly warped up to the rooftops, and ran off towards Marceo's Lair.
Steve sighed. "I know…. It's somewhat awful… However….. Maybe…" He put a hand to his chin. "What if it wasn't human…. But rather some kind of pet???"
Megan nodded. "That sounds much better than trying to explain to him where his sibling came from." And we wouldn't really have to take care of it since Tobias could do it himself….
It didn't take long for Rio to make it to Marceo's lair. watching for a few moments he was surprised to see Marceo coming out of it, Hmm… lair snooping.. or bad guy stalking?? he took a moment to debate it before making up his mind and warping to a better vantage point on the street.
"So….." Steve sat down in a chair. "What kind of animal do we want this pet to be?"
"Small." Megan blurted bluntly. "Er…. Not too big like a dog." I can't stand them all too much anyways….
"Maybe like a rabbit size? Or a mouse size?"
She flushed. "We are not building a mouse for Tobias!" The last thing I need is for it to get out of its cage…
"Or are we thinking a feathery friend rather than a furry friend?"
Megan stayed silent to think. I have a sense that he'd do better with birds… And have more of an interaction with them…
Rio carefully stayed out of sight as he followed Marceo down the street, Wonder what he's up to?
"So…. Bird or mammal?"
"I think a bird would be good. Maybe a parrot? A small parrot?" Megan sat down with him.
"It sounds like a good idea. I'll get some kind of blueprint drawn out before tomorrow and we cab really start looking into things then. Alright?"
"Sounds good to me."
