Um. About my brother's cat.

[Once that unpleasantness is over, Don will go sit up on the roof for a few hours, in the rain and in view of the river, meditating. He made contact with Sona last week at the hot springs, and is now trying to learn what she has to teach.]

[Later, inside, he'll open his journal and put a question to the village at large.]

I've heard some people are trying to build ships. Are any of them likely to be seaworthy by the end of the summer?

[ She... doesn't want to bring up the swimming subject again. She's never conversed with a turtle before, and although she's curious... welp. ]

Acquiring ship, for what use? If inconvenient to answer, I will understand. It is my first time talking to a turtle. A little like starstruck.

[Don rubs his ear, then stretches his wings. Is the translation magic failing or what?]

Well, so I can swim further from shore than I could easily get to by myself.

[ It isn't, is the thing. ]

To get to desert? I heard of underwater ruins. Things of interest there? Please affirm.

I've heard of the ruins. I never saw them when they were - not underwater. I mean, I've never seen them at all. Maybe I could dive to them.

Perhaps not important. I decline curiosity as to the deserted area, only inquiring what you search for.

Half curiosity, half conversation topic. Gathering information about surrounding area and interesting individuals. There is too much to take in at once.

[Wait a minute.]

Are you new here?

... Affirmative. New to Luceti, new to wings, new to... turtles capable of speech. So much unknown, perhaps I am too inquisitive.

[Ah, okay.]

Sorry; can we start over? I'm Donatello. I'm not from a world full of turtles. I've been here a year and a half, almost. There wasn't an ocean when I got here but now that there is, I want to see it. It's easier to do it on a boat than by swimming. Does that make more sense?

[ Oh.............. well that answers everything, actually... ]

I affirm. Understanding, perfect. Exploration planned for the future, impressive endeavor. Much discovery to be made, gained knowledge can be used for referencing. I am in agreement.

Donatello. My name is Vorona. To be in your acquaintance, it is pleasure.

Um... yes. [And also it's fun.]

Welcome to Luceti, Vorona.

Kidnapped and subject to experimentation. Quite a welcome.

[ It's supposed to be a joke, but with her deadpan expression... ]

[He's mostly gotten past that, but he remembers what it's like to be a New Feather.]

It's not so bad, most of the time. A lot of the experiments are pretty harmless.

Harmless experiments, have read about. Gender switching, personality alterations. Odd and unnecessary. I must question need for the experiments, but there is no answer. Only frustration.

A lot of people have spent a lot of time thinking about it. We'd all love an answer.

... Understood. No use thinking, use time to discover and explore.

Much to do here. At least, not lacking.

What I've found out? If you think of it as a prison, it is one. If you think of it as an adventure, it's that. Mindset matters a lot here.

[ For a moment, her tone rises just a small step above neutral. Supposedly it indicates excitement; it's just her face that seems slow on the uptake. ]

I affirm. Many people, many characters. I am exhilarated. First impression, although kidnapped. Luceti, I like. Hope not to be disappointed. [ Even if her motives are less than innocent about it. ]

I'm glad. Good luck, Vorona.

[ The smallest smile. ]

And with your ships. Donatello, wish you best of fortune as guidance.
