Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hydor couldn't help it. He snorted.

"If they see the appeal in following a leader who wants nothing but the eventual drain of, the break of natural cycles of, and death of the universe, then I can't ******** help them." And they deserved their death, but he wasn't about to reinforce that to an alien. Discussions of death and what should be done with the Negaverse seemed best reserved for people he was assured were on his side, even if they weren't "organized" on that side.

There was a part of Hydor who wished for a bit more order, if just so they could have a more organized database of what the Negaverse was like, what the Negaverse was pursuing, where the Negaverse was in the city -- but that didn't necessarily require following anyone. That just needed a few people to work together and make something. Maybe the Mauvians.

"Resolving your own issues would probably be a good way down that path, yeah." Hydor shrugged. "Probably also no longer aligning with Chaos, but at least you're not doing that. And yeah, be more careful around the wildlife. Some of them may not be wildlife at all."

Some of them might be ******** youma, and he was pretty sure for them, a starseed snack was a starseed snack, even if it was from some Velencian alien from another planet.

Their miracles.

He was going to presume either the way they were still living in spite of all of this bullshit, or something to do with their homeworlds considering Velenia was long lost. Hydor wasn't sure if his homeworld qualified as a miracle -- it sure qualified as something, and there was a part of him that wanted to surface what was under the waves, but he certainly hadn't seen much miraculous there yet other than the fact that there was anything that hadn't capsized.

Maybe the bugs?

"Can't promise I know either, but," he shrugged, "maybe I'll show you sometime."

It was enough of an indicator that he at least didn't assume that she was hostile, even underneath his general gruff exterior.

"Be safe out there." Hydor lifted a hand and gave a half-wave, half-salute. "You had the phrase right, by the way. Hopefully, we see each other again without those ******** reindeer."

He turned to walk away, resuming his evening patrol.
