”There he is,” Oberon pointed out when he finally caught sight of the man in the cloak. In his hand he had a container and gallon jug of water. “Wow, I’m surprised no one else is here,” he observed as he and Perdita made their way up the hill. He’d been experimenting with the crystal they’d been given, using his own energy to fuel it, rather than trying to obtain energy from others. It only seemed fair. After all, not all senshi and knights behaved similarly to the Negaverse. Oberon had no interest in draining the energy of others.

“Sup?” he called as they approached, not wanting to startle the man, despite him probably being able to sense them coming, but to also give him a chance to tell them to back off if he wanted. “We got your crystals the other night. I’m Oberon,” he introduced, coming to a stop and glancing towards Perdita to see if she would introduce herself as well, or if she’d rather her name not be revealed.

“Brought water for you… although I’m sure others have also. Water is kinda essential for us earthlings, so… And I’ve also got the best thing you can possibly eat,” he said, holding up the container he carried. “It’s still hot, so I recommend you eat it soon. If you even eat. Do you eat? Have you been in stasis all this time? Frozen in carbonite? Nevermind. Anyway, it’s my mom’s lasagna. And if you’re not going to eat it, tell me so I can keep it for myself.”

It was a huge sacrifice he was making, giving up his lasagna.
