Lyle Norg skidded onto the scene, running a hand through his hair and glancing every which way. He was obviously searching for something, and frantically. His wide brown eyes landed on Kaylee, and he cupped his hands around his mouth, calling over to her.

"Hey! Have you seen...uh..." He paused, looking to the side as if trying to figure out how exactly he could describe who he was looking for. Glancing back at Kaylee, Lyle made his way over and started again. "I'm looking for my friend, Brainy. Brainiac 5? Short," He indicated the height with his hand, "Blond hair, green skin...Kinda acting nutty?" He waggled his hand back and forth between them, as if to illustrate Brainy's current mental instability.

Kaylee did not think there could possibly be enough blond, green skinned boys around for the young man to be looking for a separate one than she'd met. Still she eyed him curiously for a moment before smiling. "Been wonderin' if he had anyone takin' care of him. Went off that way just a little bit ago." One hand raised to indicate which direction 'that way' was. "Though I'm afraid I can't speak to how long he mighta stayed goin' that way."

She hesitated, friendly expression softening into one of obvious concern. "He ain't sick or hurt or nothin', is he? Didn't know if there were folk I should wave, an' he didn't seem too bad off, just...strange."

Lyle sighed, looking around in the indicated direction. "It'd be easier to take care of him if he stayed in one place long enough for me to catch him."

He glanced at her in slight surprise at her concerned questioning, then smiled warmly, reassuringly. "Yeah, don't worry. He isn't normally like that, its some natural process that his people go through." Lyle didn't want to talk about the alignment without Brainy's permission. He had to get going-didn't want to lose what little trail he had on the short Coluan, but he felt the girl had the right to know everything was okay. "Sorry about bothering you, Miss. Thanks for the information."

"Truth to say, he seemed a bit edgy 'bout bein' caught," Kaylee noted, her tone faintly apologetic. "Took off runnin' when I asked if there was anyone might be lookin' for him."

The mechanic's smile displayed obvious relief. For all that she didn't know either young men, native compassion was enough to drive her to genuine concern. "Ain't no bother," she assured. "Hope you catch up with him all right."

With a sincere nod, and a look of thanks, Lyle took off again after Brainy.

As an after thought, he called over his shoulder. "Name's Lyle by the way, Lyle Norg! It was nice to meet you!" Before the girl could respond, though, he seemed to fade, and then all together vanish, truly living up to his code-name of Invisible Kid.
