Lysithea took in the view of her moon once again, hoping to feel something…more when she looked at it. Right now there was just a dispassionate feeling that nobody could find them up here. It was a safe spot where nobody could come and interrupt. The one thing that it wasn’t…well.
It truly didn’t feel like a home...which.
Which she supposed was an issue.
Perhaps if she just…took some time to spend more time up here…that could get fixed but.
Shaking her head, Lysithea looked to Necromanteion and let out a long sigh. “Okay. Fists. Only fists. Nothing sharp just. I don’t know. I’ll try to punch you and you can move out of the way, or just. I’ll keep trying to punch you and you can keep moving out of the way. I like that better. That game will stop if I hit your or when I get tired of acting like I want to hit you…sound fair?”
She hesitated and then gave a small smile. “When we’re done we can eat snacks and just pretend life doesn’t exist for a little while which. Sounds pretty damn good to me.”
Maybe…this was a good thing. She hadn’t spent much time with Necro…hadn’t spent any time really but…
Now it felt like they were connected by something and…she kind of liked it.

"You know... The last time I was here was about a year ago? I'd gotten the crap kicked outta me then too. I'm starting to sense a trend." Necromanteion laughed lightly. "Maybe we really should keep me locked into the house."
Necro nodded. "So like... Tag? We trade off on whose dodging and whose throwing the punches every time someone connects." That sounded easy enough. And yet... Lysithea could still just as easily kick his a** throwing punches.
"Sounds like a plan to me." He said, taking a defensive stance before tilting his head. "....Are you okay? If you need to talk, I'm all ears. Seems only fair."

Lysithea hummed softly, trying to ignore the pang of pain that flitted through her chest when he mentioned being here before. Of course he was here before if they had helped him. Of course she had helped him. They had helped him. It.
She drew in a breath. “No, I’m not trading off, I’m just going to win and then we’re going to be done.” She curled her hands into fists and pointedly ignored the question about if she was okay or not…it was too complicated to think about. Far too much to go into detail with.
“Get ready, I’m coming now!”
And she kicked off from the ground, aiming a punch right for his left shoulder, a very determined expression on her face.
At least…at least he had never expressed concerns about her. Had never coddled her. And now he was even allowing for her to train him or…whatever this was.
…It was nice.

"Can't win if you don't tag me." Necro sing-songed, grinning like the oaf he was. If she didn't want to trade off, that was fine. But he wasn't about to make it easy on her. Necro just hoped Lys didn't think he wasn't taking this, or her seriously. He was. Necro appreciated that she was doing thing for him. That she was keeping his secret until he was ready to tell the others.
She suddenly launched at him and Necro yelped ducking out of the way. "You know, sometimes I forget how fast you actually are!" Necro yelped, running from from his friend.

“That’s true, I can’t win if I don’t tag you, but. I’m going to tag you so I will win, so just…accept that fact.” Lysithea laughed, pleased that she had managed to startle him, and she tried again, though this time reached a bit further, extending her hand to the fullest and attempting a slap.
Maybe it was just an intense game of tag. Maybe…if she could help him evade...
“Maybe you should take up running, Necro. Take up running so that if someone tries to stab you again you can just get the ******** out of there. Maybe this is just going to become a lesson in not getting hit and hauling a** so that you keep not getting hit, yeah?”
It made sense to her, and it brought a little light to her eyes.
“Don’t let me get you, silly boy.”

"Oh are you? Maybe I don't wanna be tagged. Maybe I wanna win. Accept THAT fact." Necro stuck his tongue out her in defiance before bolting away again. "My friend said the same thing! Got mad at me for not running away. I told him that I thought running was honestly more dangerous then just staying put!"
Well, guess he knew that answer now didn't he???
"I don't mind running though. I think back then I liked it?" Back when he was a youma. "Does this mean we should start going on runs?" He asked, a smug grin on his face as he looked back at her.
"Pft. I let you catch me once and turn me into a human. What are you going to turn me into this time if you catch me?"
Yeah... Scales was definitely right. He was a little b***h.

Lysithea wrinkled her nose. The idea of going on runs wasn’t…great but.
“Well, maybe that’s your problem. You’re ignoring the advice of people who want to keep you safe and help you and…no, I don’t want to go on runs with you but. Damnit, Necro. You’re kind of annoying.”
In a mostly good way but.
She wouldn't admit that fact. What she would do however, is absolutely throw her entire body at him, tackling the taller Page to the ground and pinning him down with a grin that spread across her face. “There we go. I ******** win. Now, I’m going to think about smugly getting off of you and going to a nice shady tree and sharing some of the snacks I brought with me. And then maybe sometime we can do this again, if you’re up for it.”
…Because. It had actually been really fun.

"Nu uh! I was following my friends advice! He said don't do anything stupid. Running mighta made things worse!" What could be worse then getting stabbed?
Well, besides death.
Necro squawked loudly when she tackled him, his body hitting the ground with a solid thud. "Yes yes. I am annoying. I'm a whole lottta things." The Page mumbled around a mouthful purple grass. "You don't hafta go on runs. Hell I don't know if I wanna go on em." But it was something to do... Something he could keep out of trouble with.
"Yes, yes. You win! I admit defeat!" Necro made a dramatic show of being defeated. Though he quickly abandoned the show at the mention of snacks. "But what kind of snacks? And I am totally down to do this again. But only if I get to be 'it' next time. Maybe on my wonder?" Though he wasn't sure how well tag would go in a dark and spooky temple...

Lysithea snorted and reached to help Necromanteion to his feet and then over to where she had stashed the bag full of snacks. “Sounds good to me. All of it, I mean. The us not taking up running and the game of intense tag on your Wonder, but…you’ll be supplying the snacks next time so butter up to Evan or find a really good mini mart, got it?”
She poked him in the side and sat down under the tree, opening her bag and passing out the snacks, feeling far more relaxed than she had when they had first arrived.
…Her homeworld was nice. And it was safe and perhaps…
Perhaps it did kind of feel like hers again.
And that was nice.
