1. Set in Praxus DomeIt wasn't exactly a choice Keiki had made himself, to go out on patrol with April Ryan. It was more that he had gathered his continued presence in the base was causing discomfort - or, as he had been told more directly, he was just a little bit depressing to be around. There wasn't anything preventing him from leaving, of

Because really after everything that had happened, a Kirin was nothing out of the ordinary April thought to herself as she watched the tall man walk towards him. April had never heard of a Kirin before, but it seemed very much like a Draic Kin in theory, except a horned creature instead of a dragon. She definitly had an easier time with Keiki than she did with the cybertronians. He made sense.

Unlike the rest of the world they had found themselves in. April shook her head trying to concentrate on the surroundings, she felt wary and though she was fine with Keiki as a Kirin as a person he sort of, brought down the mood. A lot. More than Lightning had even, and April felt a pang of fear, her friend was still a cat. A very angry cat who was sat back at headquarters and would probably hiss at April for going out scouting without her.

"Me neither," she responded, "Hope so, deadly rain was getting a little tedious after all!"

His response was a slight slip in his blank expression, as he allowed some of his impatience at the entire situation through. Really, it was improbable that a solution or chance to leave would arrive this soon, but he had let himself feel just enough anticipation that finding nothing was still a disappointment.

That wasn't Ms. Ryan's fault, of course. He nodded, belatedly, at her comment; even more belatedly realised it had been a joke; and finally he offered a smile so faint it might as well not have been there at all.

"We should return to the others."

April sighed, this was why she missed Lightning, no one else seemed to even realise she was being sarcastic, never mind got it. "I guess we should," she said trying to stay friendly, it was hard when the person you were talking to showed no emotion what so ever.

"What's the chance the others have found some real food, like I dunno... a burger bar transported." She grinned, she was just making conversation, she didn't even know if his world had such things, "I mean if the jedi temple can be brought here through the rifts, why can't decent food!"

A burger bar. The En Taiho had mentioned something about burgers, once, but Keiki hadn't been particularly interested. Placing meat between slices of bread and salad didn't stop it being meat. He wrinkled his nose at the thought, and gestured gracefully for her to precede him.

"The chances are not high," he said, doleful. After all, he could see the towering forests in the distance; it was a given that he wouldn't starve, but he could hardly say the same for the rest of his companions. "Foodstuffs will spoil quickly. Additionally, what one world thinks of as food could be poison to the inhabitants of another."

[Romeo and Piccolo were by the pool, Romeo chasing Piccolo who was in a mischevious mood] Piccolo come back here! [He came across the man eating salad who looked sad, Piccolo went to investigate trying to climb up the mans leg. Romeo went over.] Sorry sir! He's in a naughty mood today!

[needsmoartact]

[and so the meal is halted as the ferret scrambles up his leg. After a couple of failed attempts to achieve the summit of Keiki's lap, the kirin reaches down to lift Piccolo by the scruff of his neck and deposit him on his knees himself.

A tiny creature of the other world, apparently. Let's just stare down at it with an unreadable expression. And forget to say anything.]

[spiritsup]

[Romeo paled a little at the silence, was the man mad? He inched a little closer, wanting to get Piccolo out of the mans grasp scared that the man would hurt his friend.] I'm sorry sir I really am! Please don't hurt him he's only a ferret and even though he's naughty sometimes he's good really and he's my friend!

[needsmoartact]

[small child why are you upset. I am holding your friend in a way that won't hurt him. And he started it. See, here he is.]

Such apologies are unnecessary.
