[Well at least I am looking less chewed on by nature than usual?]

Ah . . . hey, Aerta.

[thevineintervention]

It's been a while.

[hydralize]

Yeah . . . How've you been?

[thevineintervention]

Oh, hear, mostly.


And you?

[hydralize]

I'm just tired.

[thevineintervention]

You look tired.

[hydralize]

No shit.

[thevineintervention]

Have you nowhere to rest, Nova of Hydra?

[hydralize]

Ah?
