[Space, is it? For many reasons, Chiron finds this ... amusing.
But he's still going to explore the area to his heart's content, not particular to any one area yet (well, until he later finds the garden) but just enjoying the scenery as he trots along, until he finds himself at the bridge staring into the deep expanse of nothingness.
He'll remain there until he's joined, and glances over his shoulder with a smile]
[Ange still seems a bit tired (who wouldn't after their weekend), but she smiles a bit as she joins him, quietly wrapping her arms around herself as she looks out at the stars.]
I suppose so... either option is rather boggling for me to consider, to be honest, so I suppose it does not make much of a difference what the truth is.
[She shakes her head a little, rubbing the back of her head.]
Actually, Mister Archer, do you mind if I ask you something...?
[So, how 'bout those changes? What really matters most to Ange is that she is no longer blind, but she was also pretty thrilled to get a new change of clothes. So despite everything, she's feeling about as optimistic as she can be.
Of course, some people had a worse Sunday than she did.
Her usual Mondays involve wandering around to take in the new sights, so she's bound to stumble across Chiron eventually! Where is he Lurking after his own horrible weekend?]
[He is absolutely exploring the Wild Wild West theme because for once, he has no clue what is going on with this setting.
But he will be by the horses. Surprise, Chiron is perfectly at ease around them, and while many tend to be bemused by his presence, they all listen to his commands well enough.
... Also the tiny baby T-Rex that trails after her father, happily terrorizing the other equines by nipping at their heels]
I know I have taught you all as well as time permits, but...
[He supposes that's his own folly to deal with -- he will forever look at these interactions as a teacher wishing his students a safe journey, and expect to be left behind]
Regardless, the week has been treating me well so far. I hope the same for you.
[Ange is quiet for a moment as she considers that, before she nods firmly.]
You have. But... while you have been our teacher and have taught us all so many things... I am certain I am not the only one who also considers you a friend.
And friends... cannot just leave, so...! I am afraid that is that. You must stay with us. [FIRM NOD.
A beat.
The rest of his statement process and she looks a little embarrassed.]
T-that is to say, I am doing all right as well, um...
... I will not deny that I did not have much in the way of friendships when I was alive.

You'll have to forgive me for any mistakes I make along the way.

Ah, hello Miss Ange.

... It is amazing, isn't it?
no subject
[Again, another smile, like he's deeply amused by some twist of fate]
Though I'm uncertain if we are truly in space, or this is some impressive simulation of it.
no subject
[She tilts her head contemplatively at that.]
Like... we are not truly seeing this in reality?
no subject
[They've certainly been stolen into a different world by a Realm that's a bit temperamental]

Actually, Mister Archer, do you mind if I ask you something...?
no subject
[Turning his full attention to her with an encouraging nod]
Please, speak your mind.
no subject
Um, how serious do you think those new rules that were added are...?

[...]
I do not have any idea how to just... "share a memory" with someone, in truth.
no subject
... In that case, would you like me to start?
no subject
[That is a definite yes.]
no subject
I will tell you about my student, Achilles? You are from Earth, so perhaps you have heard of him.

More importantly, though... she leans against the fence, peering out as Chiron happily bonds with the horses. Huh...
She waits a moment, and then lifts a hand to wave.]
... Mister Archer!
no subject
[Inclining his head in her direction, and the baby T-Rex immediately wheels around, staring out between Chiron's front legs]
no subject
Oh... thank you, that is very kind of you to say. It was nice to get a proper change of clothing again, but, um--
[Regardless!!]
I came... to see how you are doing today. Though I... suppose you have probably been asked that many times as of late.
no subject
[But he says this in mild amusement, not at all bothered that she came to see him]
I am in good spirits, overall... and somewhat surprised by the amount of concern I have earned over this past weekend.
no subject
You are truly surprised...?
It is... just an honest assessment of how many people you have touched the hearts of in our time together here, isn't it?
no subject

no subject
That is that, you say? Well, you make a very compelling argument, I must admit.
no subject
Also kind of pleased.]
W-well...! I am very glad to hear that. It was, um, the best argument I could come up with. [Not too eloquent over here.
More softly:]
And... I truly do mean it, as well.
