Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, oh dear." Fylk sighed. "I'm very sorry. To the both of you."

Maybe he has been in the sky too long. He had mistaken a scooter for modern art. Then again, this could also be said of of modern art. He had never really had an eye for what they called moderns. The classics, those were what he knew.

"Repairs? You mean to tell me that you don't have a ship board mechanic? I mean, I can help with money, but......?"

He shrugged. Already his mind was racing for a possible solution. C.Tree based engines he could fix. Scooters? Not so much.

Meushi's eyes widen. "Beat me?" She couldn't help but smirk. "We'll see about that..." She looked back at the other man. "Well...I have to go to Aekea to get my ship fixed if things happen...." She frown and then lend against her ship. "THink think think think..." She tapped her chin and looked up at the mother tree. "I hear the lab at the top has some good mechanics....or we could try the University...." She looked at Miana. "ANd I don't think I have anything in my ship...." She frown and then raised a brow. "We could jsut take a chance with one of the ship repairs here....What do you pretty boys think?"

"I'm not familiar with the territory, so I don't know of any good mechanics. I'm willing to try the University first. Surely there would be someone there who might be able to do something with it." Miana replied. "If there is anyone here who would even have the parts for it at all I could do most of the work myself."
Miana wasn't a very skilled mechanic, but he did at least know how to fix that junk heap of his. Lord knows he'd had to do it enough times.

"I know a couple of good mechanics in Aekea as well, but I didn't really want to go all the way back landside y'know?" Aekea was a good ways away from Durem, but why risk running into relatives? He scratched at his scar absentmindedly as he thought about it.

He looked at her incredulously.
"What do you mean?? I flew the scooter." He replied. "Just because it's not running now doesn't mean it doesn't usually."

The scooter in question had a lot of miles on it, both in the air and on the ground. Maybe it was time to retire it, but he just couldn't bring himself to it. He liked the thing and as long as he could repair it when it broke down he didn't see the need to try and build a new one. As far as he knew it was one of a kind, and he still wasn't sure about how his friend had gotten the Casimir tree to cooperate with the scooter to begin with.

"Wait, you mean to tell me that small...thing has a full blow Casmiri Tree in it?" Fylk said, running a hand through this blue hair. That just...it just wasn't possible. There was a certain amount of space needed for the growth of a C.Tree. That's why they were air SHIPS, not small little....well, scooters. Hurried he took the watch from his pocket and flipped it open. The gears spun, and clicked, and hummed.

Slowly, softly, it began to glow. Sure enough, there was the presence of a tree. But...how.

"Maybe it would be best for some to look at it."

Meushi's mouth dropped. "GET OUT! THIS THING IS AN AIR SHIP!?" She pushed Miana out of the way as she began to look over his scooter. It looked like a banged up scooter, but then again, her ship LOOKED like a odd space ship that looked like a.....man's bits and pieces. "It's so tiny..." She touched his scooter looking for his tree. "Oh, I wonder if our's are the same. Mine started out as vine growing up a wall in a bigger ship I use to work for..." She looked at her ship. "Mine grows pickles..." She said as an after thought. Suddenly she felt very bad...VERY VERY bad about hitting his scooter. Of course he shouldn't have parked it right behind her ship but hurting a Casimir tree always bothered her in more ways then one. She was filled with sudden guilt. "Maybe we should take it to an one of the docks that works on airships...you know..if they don't have the parts...I could run around the port and look for them for ya..." She rubbed her arm awkwardly.

"Nah, we can stick to the original plan." Miana said, brushing off her worried composure. "It's a weird little thing, they probably wouldn't know much what to do with it." Miana eyed his scooter with affection and patted it on the side.

Miana looked at the blue haired man suspiciously again.
"What did you say your name was??" He asked, not taking his hands off his scooter just in case the guy was planning on trying something.

"Well, Captain Soul, my name is Miana Altrifos. And much though I appreciate your concern, this is my scooter and my Casimir tree. I would thank you to defer such suggestions to me and not my friend." Miana said invoking that aristocratic tone again.

Miana wasn't really sure that this man meant harm, but why take the chance? Many people were interested in the scooter's Casimir engine, so much so that it was often they tried to buy or steal it. It had probably made him paranoid.
