Glad to see my bar didn't burn down while I was gone. How we all doing here? What exciting mysteries have we dug up in the mines? New additions? Subtractions?

[By the blue-greenish ambient light and the dark countertop he sits at, Cayde's probably at the bar he speaks of. He holds a mug of coffee in one hand, his other free to gesticulate.]

Aaand for those of you that might not have noticed your favorite Exo being absent- sorry Felwinter- well, I've been out at the other city this past...wait, how long's it been anyway? I counted enough sunrises to be at least a few weeks, give or take. I mean, did we ever figure out how Agrii weeks and months work around here? Or is everything just reeeally long?

Anyway, I digress- I...promised Kyle I'd make a report or something but it looks like the Graq connections have been made already. For those of you not in the know, they're some...squatty dog-bear-looking people that we ran across on a particular space adventure. That story gets complicated so you want details, you come find me.

Now- circling back, there's a lotta evidence out in that other city suggesting that these Graq lived there. Structures. Melted rock. Of course there's some other stuff that don't make sense but if it did then it'd all be too easy, right?

[He waves his free hand dismissively.]

I'm not one to info dump but if anyone wants to share or whatever, I'll probably be around for a while to catch up on things around here.

Saw the new additions to the tank. [He nods off to the side somewhere, flashing a smile.] That your doing, 'berto? Thanks.

Oh yeah, kid? Um- right. Can't just.... too many dang kids around these days- Helmet's kid? Drop by when you can, hole's ready for you to work your magic.

And Billy? Lemmee know when you're free, kid.

That it? All right then.

[He points at the camera, finger and thumb poised like a cocked gun.]

Cayde, out.

Now that he's sure Cayde won't freak out, he won't mind playful teasing or the Exo getting him wet on purpose. If it's the two of them, or if it happens in front of the other kids who already know what he is, Alberto is fine with it. He looks happy as a clam after the hair ruffling because it's something he's always enjoyed.

"There are! We should take advantage of the good weather before it starts to get cold. I don't know if the seasons here are like the ones on Earth."

He never questioned it until now, but different planets have different rules, right? Maybe summers last all years long in Agra 10, that would be awesome.

"You're not the first one to tell me that. I'm cautious, promise. And I don't like swimming in the lake, anyway. It's fresh water, and it'd make me feel sick if I breathed it for a long time."

He's a sea creature, lakes and rivers don't have nearly enough salt concentration in the water for him to live there properly. "Did they get hurt?"

[deal_me_in]

That's a good point. We were off-world for a good chunk of time that we might've missed if things shifted around here. Only seems like it got warmer and that's about the only real weather shift I've seen so far, not counting the last big storm that hit.

[His optics narrow slightly at the recollection, but he shakes his head.]

Oh yeah? Guess that makes sense. Well, we don't want you getting sick, that's for sure. I think they had a run in with some mildly poisonous fish-things. Caused paralysis wherever they stung you. Least they got back safely.
