it's a seal! they're cute, right? we haven't run into any here but i don't think it would be impossible to find something similar.

[oneandmikleonly]

an iniidae equivalent would probably glow more

[imsorey]

i wouldn't mind seeing a glowing seal. want to go find one?

[oneandmikleonly]

sure, where were you thinking of looking

[imsorey]

an island is our best bet

since they don't look like they can sleep in water

we could check out a few nearby? ones we haven't been to yet.

[oneandmikleonly]

is this a date

[imsorey]

oh

yeah it can be a date

it sounds like a date right?

[oneandmikleonly]

i think as long as we both agree it is one? that should be how it works, it's logical

[imsorey]

agreed! besides, there can't be anything more romantic than going exploring with the person you like

[oneandmikleonly]

sorey i think that implies we've been romancing each other since we were, oh, seven

scandalous ＼(º □ º )/

[imsorey]

(〃＞＿＜;〃) come on, that's not what i meant!

[oneandmikleonly]

i'm teasing you

in case that didn't convey properly through text

[imsorey]

i was letting you get away with it

so you want to go or what? i'll meet you by the exit

[oneandmikleonly]

[a telepathic laugh drifts into his head]

Race you there.

[imsorey]

[that is the fastest way to get him up and running]

No crying when you lose!

[oneandmikleonly]

Pot, kettle!

[hopefully they don't knock anyone over]

[imsorey]

[Sorey is a good person who would never intentionally knock anyone over

unintentionally, though, that probably happened.

he's out of breath when he actually does make it to the exit though; he had to run from the other side of the base]

[oneandmikleonly]

[mikleo was closer, so he's already there and not as winded, but he does look a little disconcerted]

I forgot--to ask where you were...

[imsorey]

[he takes a minute to catch his breath before responding, waving a hand and putting his stuff into his locker so it won't get ruined by going out into the water with him]

Other side. I should have known you'd beat me to it.

[oneandmikleonly]

Hmmm...we can have a more even race once we're in the water.

[they're both prepped and ready to go soon enough; they're not carrying much or taking a vehicle, but they do have their weapons and a small bag of provisions in case they get stranded out for a bit. even if they don't -- well, what's a date without dinner involved somewhere?]

[imsorey]

To the first island we can find?

[food is very important! but Sorey is more focused on the adventure--the race to find something, their usual game after all of the weirdness]

[oneandmikleonly]

Once we spot something. It wouldn't do to go full tilt the entire way.

[imsorey]

Fair enough. Don't want to tire out before we even get there.

[oneandmikleonly]

[it's a pretty leisurely trip once they've decided that; they're happy enough to take their time and go relatively slowly enough to take in the familiar sights and sounds as well. the ocean is beautiful, when alien drones aren't constantly trying to kidnap you in it. there are plenty of things to worry about in it in short order, too, but -- not today.]

[imsorey]

[There's plenty that they could talk about with regards to recent events, but it can wait while they explore. Sorey keeps it light and deliberately steers away from those topics, keeping to the fish and biomes that they pass through. he's not sure if they'll really find a seal, but it's obvious that it is on his mind, and he keeps his eyes peeled for one.]
