     IC: Del - Celrys's Workshop, Tajun

    "Nominal," Del asserted, but quickly reassessed. "Optimal. Thank you, Skyra Daring. Del I always look at the glass as half full, ya know?" Again the driver's words, and returning the thumbs-up, had seemed the right thing. Mileage may vary.

    As before the Ferrumite regarded the device Celrys presented to them, now with a measure of analytical curiosity, reaching out slowly and taking the stethoscope awkwardly between thumbs and forefingers.

    "you put the buds in your ears," Del repeated in word and act, sliding the apparatus under their helmet and nestling the buds in. They bore a little of Celrys's body warmth.

    "against the left side of the chest." Again to the letter, they gently placed the disc. The glass was cold and it radiated out—

    Thu-thum, thu-thum, thu-thum, thu—

    Del pulled the disc away with a start, trying to throw it away but stopped by the buds in their ears, the stethoscope clattering against their breast. The sound had filled their ears, their skull, startled the Glatorian.

    Wide-eyed seconds passed and curiosity reasserted itself. With a hint of caution, they again took the disk and pressed it to their chest.

    Thu-thumthu-thumthu-thum thu-thum thu-thum, thu-thum, thu-thum, thu-thum,

    The thudding was faster but gradually slowed and steadied and stayed steady.

    "What is..." Del struggled for the words, finding no suitable substitute for the sound, "...buh-buh buh-buh buh-buh?"

    The obviousness of the impending simile would elude Del, and perhaps Skyra.

    "Hanging in there?" They queried, looking up at Skyra. The intonation did not betray if they were asking for the meaning of the phrase, or a status update in kind from the driver.

    "Always! I always look at the glass as half full ya know? Even if we all end up with the plague we gotta have a positive outlook!" Skyra gives a thumbs up.

    I raised my eyebrow when the newcomer mentioned recognizing me. "Well, I do get around, so it's definitely possible you've seen me before." I was staring at him again, this time trying to see if I recognized him at all, but I was drawing a blank. "I've been to Ta-koro more than a few times so...hmmm..." 

    As I was trying to think, Praggos started demanding that I be nice and get the man a drink. I gave the doctor a look. "You know what, I will get this man a drink, but not because you told me too! Just wanted to make sure you know that." 

    With that I walked away to find a cup.

    For the past few minutes I'd been watching Krayn fish out a man that had been desperately swimming towards us. As far as evenings go this one was one of the more entertaining ones I could remember having in some time. I'd been sitting next to Destiny up on her perch, observing everything. 

    Of course, now said man was on the deck, and it was no longer interesting to merely watch. "Alright..." I forced myself up, yawning slightly as I stretched. Then I jumped down to the deck myself. 

    I walked past Praggos as I got a good look at Krayn's 'catch'. "Hmmm..." I inspected him thoroughly, circling the man before turning my head towards Krayn with a sigh.

    "Krayn we can't eat this, throw em back in."

    Drakkar smiles. "You have a much more open mind than most. Tell me, what spiritual woes plague you?" While his question was to Zelvin, it could be answered by Ushadra as well, if she so choose to.  Drakkar didn't pick favorites for such matters, he would help all who asked for it.

    After all, the more he could enlighten, the better.

    "Has this happened before? The singing?"

    Celrys' voice was barely more than a whisper, as if to avoid disrupting the Ferrumite's reverie. There was a tenderness to his expression, along with a strange sense of melancholy.

    IC: Skyra Daring - Celrys' Workshop, Tajun -

    Skyra shook her head. "No, not really anyway. Del tried to copy my singing on the drive here, but I wouldn't have called it singing exactly."

    Skyra took the ice pack without question, pressing it gently against Del's head as she leaned in towards them. "What?"

    She leaned in a bit more, not close enough to touch Del but perhaps a bit too close. "Did you say something Del?" 

    It was hard to notice, but she saw their lips twitching and the slightest of sounds coming out of them. It was hard to make out exactly what was being said but they were definitely words

    "Holy fuck." Skyra said, somewhat quietly as she realized what she was hearing. "You're singing."

    "F###!" Skyra, normally well balanced, had taken a tumble when Del had suddenly fallen. Though unlike Del, Skyra practically leaped back to her feet, already starting to help Del back up even as Celrys yelled at her to get them onto the chair. Skyra was more lean and agile than strong, but she had enough adrenaline now that she was able to get Del onto the chair rather quickly. She hadn't expected to play nurse today but here she was. 

    She stepped back a bit as Celrys put the ice on Del's head. She was too worried about them to say her usual banter and quips. 

    "Del? Can you hear me? Stay with us, if you see a light don't follow it!" Even with Celrys' assurance of no obvious damage she was still concerned.

    Skyra had moved before Celrys had even finished speaking to her, giving Del her shoulder to lean on. "It's alright...Del, I got you." Skyra wasn't sure whether or not to call them Del or Nemoni, so she simply stuck with the name Del had given her in the first place. That could come later. 

    "Alright Del, let's follow Celrys...he's gonna help you get better." Skyra started to move forward with Del on her shoulder, taking it as slow as Del needed. Del was also kind of heavy, something which Skyra kept to herself for the moment.

    Skyra sighed before looking at Karak. "Karak it's fine, metal man is trying to help Del." While trying to reassure Karak she listened to Celrys' findings. 

    "Wait what!? Plague!? Nemoni!? Holy S***!" Skyra had stood up, looking shocked for a moment before promptly sitting down.

    "Her name is Nemoni, and they have the Ferrum Plague, got it..." Skyra nodded her head thoughtfully. 

    ...

    ...

    "...now what?"

    "Father... is?"

    "Well uh...a father is..." Skyra was struggling a bit, so she was glad when Celrys barged in and started talking about his pretty aquarium

    "Yeah yeah it's cool, you literally talk about it every time I'm here." Skyra rolled her eyes a little as she sat down, though she had a smile on her face as usual. If she was bothered by Celrys' appearance she certainly didn't show it, acted familiar with him more than anything. Like many others she had her own implants installed in the very workshop they were currently in. 

    She patted the seat next to her for Del to sit down. She wasn't sure he'd know to do so otherwise. 

    "So...this is Del." She pointed at Del. "And he is here too...well I'll just let him tell you." Skyra figured it was best to let Del do the talking.

    "Alright, thanks!" Skyra said cheerfully, seemingly oblivious to the Agori's annoyance. She let herself in, gesturing for Karak and Del to enter as well. 

    Skyra found a seat and sat herself down. "So, I'll get straight to the point. Del here..." She pointed at Del. "...is Celrys' son or something like that. I was paid to get him here and meet Celrys." Skyra figured she better get down to business now that they were inside.

    At Del's question, Skyra laughed, probably louder than she should have. "No you doofus, an arena is a place you go to fight, for money and stuff." Skyra didn't explain further as she lead the two towards Celrys' workshop, still snickering while she did.

    It didn't take long before they reached the workshop, it was indeed close like Skyra had promised. The jungle Glatorian went up to the door and rapped on it quite incessantly. 

    "Hey Celrys you in? It's Skyra Daring! I have someone with me that really wants to see you, so open the f### up already!"

    "Absofreakinlutely!" The car was parked into an open parking spot, with room next to the buggy for Karak to park as well. Skyra then leaped over the side of her buggy in a smooth manner and landed on the ground feet first. The driver then stretched a bit.

    "I parked close to his workshop. It's not far." Skyra waited for Del and Karak to exit the vehicles before leading the way.

    Skyra stopped the buggy as they arrived at the gates of Tajun. She looked back to see Karak raising a finger. Ah, he was probably not too familiar with the city. As a driver, Skyra had to know everywhere, and everything about everywhere, and how to get to everywhere, and yeah. 

    She beckoned Karak to follow her as she slowly started to drive further into the city. Skyra knew the best places to park naturally. She let her car go into autopilot for a moment as she looked at Del. 

    "Alright Del, we're here in Tajun. As soon as we're all parked and settled in you want to go looking for Celrys yeah? I know where his workshop is, we'll be there in no time." She gave him a thumbs up.
