[ For someone who seemed positively tickled at the idea of investigating the strange things going on, Lux doesn't look particularly happy once the search parties make their way back to Union. ]

I hope everyone got back safely. Things--ah--got a bit intense while we were down there, and I don't think I really understand what happened. We all saw some things, things that some of us weren't prepared for.

[ That was an understatement, considering her tone of voice. ]

The Gods were testing us. They wanted us to see those things. Past humanity's hubris. They wanted to see how we would react.

I don't--

[ She paused for a moment, then smiled a bit hesitantly. ]

We should remember this, and how we reacted. Whether or not we thought it was the right thing to do in hindsight, this is the impression we've left, for better or for worse.

I hope we did the right thing.

Hey, how does a trip out to the island house sound?

[ Curled up with Jungler on the couch, Lux looks up. ]

Huh?

The island. Wanna go?

[ She perked up a bit. ]

Sure. But what brought that on?

It seems like a good time to go.

[ She rests her hand and her cheek on his hand. ]

Are you able to get away from work for something like that? How long did you want to go for?

I think we can take a week, I'll have Banzu watch the shop or something. He's probably not doing anything important.

I suppose I could ask Merrill or Estelle to take care of any paperwork I have. I doubt my supervisor would mind if I ask for a short leave after all that, as long as I get some work done while I'm gone.

[ She smiles a bit. ]

Did you have anything in mind?

Swimming, sleeping in, not having responsibilities, and that's pretty much it really.

Action

[ladyofluminosity]

I don't know if I could justify skirting my responsibilities that much...

[ She doesn't sound too sure about that, like she's trying to come up with a reason for being a good adult. ]

It'll be fine, you just take care of your stuff and warn people you'll be gone. It's a vacation for Savior's sake!

Action

[ladyofluminosity]

Well, if you think so.

[ Yes, please twist her arm. You can't say that she didn't try to be the responsible adult here. ]

I should start packing then, huh?

Re: Action

[indy_wannabe]

I'd say that's a pretty good idea.
