“Needs to heal.” At least that’s what he figured but he didn’t know about the people. That was complicated, people didn’t just appear out of thin air. But as long as his planet was okay again and he could get the plants and medicines back to what they had been he would be satisfied with that. Not being cut off from things anymore was a good first step.
It was true he did miss them, more than the people who had ignored him on his planet. Amel would have listened to him, wouldn’t have just ignored him and said he was rambling and bringing up crazy things. They’d been one of the few people who listened to the quiet senshi. Grumbling a bit he wasn’t sure really about going out much to places with lots of people even if it might mean he wouldn’t trip over the bottom of his pants anymore.
Frowning more as he felt a bit distressed at them not knowing, he poked them again, though his finger lingered for a moment before pulling it back. “Yes cute, with nice orichalcum decorations.” They were a difference but he thought they looked neat after he’d been told they didn’t hurt the other. Then his face turned pink and he dunked beneath the water and rubbed at it more, feeling even more awkward at being figured out. Only reaching out of the water for the shampoo and conditioner he tried to keep his face turned as he quickly washed his hair, the water coming away grey from all the smoke that had been stuck to him from everything.
Thinking for a moment, he snuck a look at them. “Maybe… but I like your things.” It was easier that way since he didn’t really know much about stores and things here. The mauvian had helped him with some things but he’d been sticking around the house here and was content wandering and gathering plants. Turning so that his back was facing them more, he reached to try and poke at where he normally had spots. “Stars there too?” He couldn’t see there but he was still curious.

“Orichalcum…decorations…” Trialing off it took a moment to click but then he was pointing to his lip rings. “These?” It was the only decorations he could think of, aside from the ones in his ears. “Thank you…” Flustered, and not sure exactly how to respond, he wasn’t sure anyone had complimented them…at least not recently, they were a bit of an old fashioned piercing it seemed. One you didn’t see much, though it was coming around again but in a different group of people.
“Yes, but if you keep tripping on my pants, you’ll get hurt. You can keep borrowing my shirts but the pants need a change. They’ll just cause you harm.” He wasn’t going to deny them all his clothing, that would be far too jarring and cause too much emotional damage to the other…not something he wanted to do. But he did need to keep them safe from his pants, because he was a lot taller than the other.
“How about if you look for new pants, I’ll go with you, I’ll take you to Chaldene…and you can try and show me around.” He might as well aim to make a deal so he could help the other not trip and die, or become seriously injured, and in return, he’d reward him with a space trip to a homeworld which seemed to mean a lot to them. “You can even bring back some plants if you want - whatever plants you want.”

Nodding he then pointed to the ones in their ear as well. They were unique and he hadn’t really seen such a thing before. “Those too.” At least they didn’t seem to hate what he said, though there was still a bit of awkwardness with the words he used versus what they used. He’d figured some of it out but he still slid back to what was apparently really outdated wording sometimes.
He was going to try arguing but at the mention of going to Chaldene, he perked up and leaned out of the bath. “Really?!” It was a bit louder than he normally was, the excitement evident in his voice as he looked at them. “When can we go?” He’d let them bring him to wherever was needed to get new pants but he was more excited about going to a place he missed.

“Ahh, of course.” He’d had his piercings so long he didn’t really give them much thought anymore, and people didn’t tend to point them out much less compliment them, but it made sense really. They likely hadn’t been a thing up on Sasha’s home world nor on Chaldene so they stood out to the other. “I got pierced….years ago - when they were popular. They dropped in popularity, some time ago, and you don’t see them so much…at least not on most people.” Some people had them though, mostly those into piercings or part of small little sub cultures and such.
“Yes, we’ll go up to Chaldene when you want - not tonight though.” It was a bit too late to go heading up there, he wasn’t interested in going right this moment when he’d rather be getting to bed soon. “So long as we get you some pants…before or after the trip.” Because he wouldn’t push too much, he wasn’t looking to force things but rather to keep the other safe. “You are going to guide me there though…I don’t know Chaldene well and it is...long and tedious getting anywhere.” And he always had to paddle back to the starting point so he could leave the boat for himself for the next time.

“I like them.” Maybe he’d ask about getting some of his own at some point too. But the mention that they weren’t common made it more unique and he liked the sound of that more because he was used to blending in with all the greenery on his homeworld and he liked the idea of something to make him stand out more just like the black clothing Ian had given him to wear.
“Tomorrow then, after pants. I can help guide… if wisps are gone?” Which was something that still felt odd to know. He’d never seen that planet without the helpful little wisps that guided them along the waterways.
With that said he finished up with his washing and sat back on the edge of the tub as he looked at whatever tube of cream they’d pulled out. Rubbing the bruise on his side, it still stung but it wasn’t too bad compared to the thorns he’d climbed through to leave his planet. “Bed soon? Early rise?” Pulling a towel onto his lap, he bounced slightly with excitement for the next day. Even if they didn’t know Chaldene, he wanted so terribly to see what state it was in. Even if it wasn’t as he remembered, he still wanted to know and he had Ian in case it upset him.

"I've never seen a wisp on my planet...so I don't think they are there anymore, maybe in time." If they were helpful, guides as the other said, he wouldn't mind them returning...it might make things easier and might even encourage him to visit more. He wouldn't feel like he'd get lost and stranded on his planet. For now if Sasha could help him, and it sounded like they certainly would, he was willing to go up to his planet and see what was going on there.
Ian didn't spend a lot of money, he had no real reason to, but he made good money working for Xander and doing side jobs as well. The money he made, but didn't spend, went into his bank account so the dark haired male had more than enough money to get Sasha some proper pants...even having them taken up, by a seamstress, if need be.
"Yes, bed soon so we can get up early and get you pants and than we can bring food up to Chaldene..." Because he was not going up there without food and water to drink, and fruit for the other - lots of fruit. "Why don't you get dried off now, and then we can tuck in for bed."
