He's staring up at the sky and his brows furrow. He was in a lot of pain. But he wanted to keep himself distracted, so he stands up and decides to make his way back out.
[Exit back to the Aether Cliffs.]

It was nice here, but Ruse decided for a change of pace. To go and check out the other areas and their hearts.
It was time to go wander around a bit more, searching for information not present in his home. He could always come back later, and he had every intention of doing just that--after all, his Goddess was here. Imuiel would not leave this place for too long.
Exit to the Ruins.

This place was different. She'd been here, briefly but had not lingered to taken any notice of her surroundings. Now she soaked them, relived by the dim, gray environment. Relieved to be somewhere new somewhere a little more.. Peaceful. The word seemed wrong, but nothing better came. It would do, for now.
She wandered, unsure of where to go, Worried about Amity, the one person she'd actually managed to form some semblance of a connection to in this place. He'd disappeared, again, without a word.
She wasn't sure why, but that thought made her smile, breath huffing out in a soft, amused sound.

He hadn't been here long but he knew, with crushing certainty, that he would inevitably find someone he knew here. It was just the way things kept happening. He thought with dim hope that it might be Aima, because things had happened to him that maybe she would have some insight on. Things that had maybe happened to her too.
It wasn't Aima. It was Coyote.
He stood silently for a minute as he watched her back, before ghosting up and falling into step beside her with as little comment as he'd left her.
He was armed now. And his face seemed more... real. It seemed very tired, but it seemed like tired was a thing that Amity was supposed to be.

He returned the the start- to where he'd begun. It was nice... to return.
Coyote glanced side at him, then did a double take, she'd narrowing as she took him in. He seemed different now, more solid, more... Just more.
"You look tired." There was something to her voice that suggested there was more to her as well. She too has a weapon, a simple hatchet sling from her belt. It wasn't as impressive as what Amity was sporting, but at least it was something. She pursed her lips, a tiny flare of envy crossing her features as she eyed the fire power bolstered at his waist. "Nice guns."
A beat, and then she continued. "Where'd you want of to?"

He didn't answer. It was a complicated question to answer anyway.
"Everything got really..." he hesitated. There wasn't a word. And not having the right word frustrated him more than it should have. It felt wrong, to not have the right word.
He stopped, and he grabbed her elbow, ungently, so that he could turn to look her full in the face. And he did that intently, carefully, like she was a strange and possibly dangerous creature that he needed notes for later.
"Are you still--do you still do everything you do for them?" He fought to keep his voice level, and succeeded.

Honestly 'really' wasn't too bad a word, all things considered. The longer they were there, abd the more they did, the more real they were becoming. Less oblivious. She still didn't knew what was going on, but she felt more real, more whole. It was something.
When he grabbed her elbow she jerked, almost tore it out of his grasp, but she stopped herself. Pale eyes flicked from his hand up to his face, and the look she gave him was questioning, unsure. She hadn't expected him to touch her, it was unexpected. As was his question.
She shifted, free hand coming up to scratch at her cheek. An oddly familiar gesture. "I do everything I do for me." Every blessing she'd received so far had given a little more. If she kept at it, kept doing what they wanted, she would eventually be whole.
It was a pretty thought.

He watched her intently, searching her face, and then he let her go and looked away. Arms wrapped around himself, like he was cold.
"Good," he said. He didn't believe her.
He hesitated, clearly on the brink of saying something, and finally: "Have you--do you remember any music?"
He wasn't snapping at her. He wasn't insulting her, or sneering. Just exhausted, lonely, tentative questions. He'd looked fragile from the very beginning just by virtue of being so stretched-out and stiff-jointed, but whatever was stirring around and waking up was making it worse.

She rubbed at her arm where he'd grabbed it, watching him intently as he closed around himself. It was very apparent that he'd been through a lot, Hell, so had she.
"Music?" Frowning, she tried to think back to any music, but nothing stood out in her mind. Thee was more there to reflect on, but not music. "Not that, no." Curls danced around her cheeks as she shook her head.
Her lips pressed together, and she glanced towards him again. "There's other stuff though. Voices, words, flashes of instances." The frown deepened momentarily before disappearing altogether. "Does the word Contranym mean anything to you?" Or tiny little bricks forming a wobbly tower.. The last was just too weird, so she left it out. "it popped into my head when you showed up, but I have no idea what it is or means."
There were few words rolling around her head that seemed foreign, but still had a familiar taste to them. "I keep getting flashes of things, feelings, or even bits and pieces of memory." She sounded distinctly unsettled. "Like an island. I thought maybe it was a part of this place, cause of the fog, but now I'm not sure. That doesn't seem right."

"Auto-antonym. It's a word that's its own opposite," he said automatically, unthinkingly. "Like how you can cleave to cling to something or cleave to split apart from it. Or like pitch. Pitch is interesting because--"
He paused. That felt... familiar. And in the split second that it felt familiar, in the instant that he felt like he was repeating himself, she'd seemed familiar too. The familiarity was fleeting and brief and slippery, but it smelled like tomato soup and tasted like cigarettes and felt like dull terror.
He didn't finish explaining why "pitch" was interesting.
"I keep... getting that too," he said. "The flashes." Unthinkingly, his hand snaked up to his chest, fingers brushing over the place where, reassuringly, his core still was. "I want a cigarette," he said, and it felt like remembering a word you'd been trying to think of for hours, now. He didn't actually even feel compelled to do anything about it. Just saying the words brought instant relief.
