[ isn't entirely there even when the plane comes to a complete stop; the noise ringing in his head is as painful as he remembers it being, making him sway a bit while pressing a hand to his forehead. the world before his eyes seems to double, triple, merge back into one, then double again, while the blueprint-world throbs in noisy emptiness. makes small whimpering noises when they're walking, barely hanging onto consciousness by focusing on that comforting, erratic heartbeat he knows is near.

gropes around for a smaller hand that he knows is around (but can't remember why it would be right this moment) while mumbling absentmindedly under his breath in german, as if he's welcoming himself back home. ]

[ releases him with another nod, pushing himself onto his feet. ]

I go too! I help!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ makes a sound of approval as he makes his way out the door, lifting a hand to scratch the back of his head. ]

I'd probably fall and break my back anyway if I did it alone.

[ trails along after him. takes a quick two steps forward to peer down at nathan's face in confusion after he hears the words in confusion. ]

Bag hurt Nathan?

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ lifts an arm. ]

Scrawny, remember?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ makes a noise of affirmation that he remembers the word, followed shortly by a mirroring nathan's action. ]

Is okay! I am help! Bag do not hurt Nathan.

[ puts down his arm and mumbles for his own comfort, knowing very well that caleb will hear it either way. ]

My hero.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ puffs out his chest a tad. ]

Super man!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ lifts a hand to pat caleb's shoulder. ]

Now if only you could fly on your own.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ shrinks a bit. ]

Erm. . . but fly hurt.

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

Probably wouldn't if you didn't have so much noise. [ pauses. ] I think.

[ stops in front of hilda's room, pausing in opening the door in favour of considering the comment & formulating an answer. ]

Is okay if not very fast. Same as walk and run, then is okay.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ gives him a considering gaze for a moment, mind wandering in thought. just shrugs after he's had his fill, giving a dramatic gesture towards his companion. ]

The mysterious Caleb, ladies and gentlemen.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ blinks down at. ]

Mis-stee-rrr. . . erm. . .

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ tries to not look amused but his lips betray him, twitching up slightly in the process. ]

... don't strain yourself, now.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ seems to be strangely deaf to the comment, focused entirely on his pronunciation attempts. after a couple more trials, manages the following: ]

Mis-stee-ree-oos!

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ ... can't help but smile fully at that, reaching up to ruffle his hair fondly. ]

Correct. Good boy.

1/2

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ perks up more than usual, fueled by both the praise & the petting. ]

Danke!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ leans forward in curiosity. ]

Mis-stee-ree-oos. Mean what?

[prideofpuppy.livejournal.com]

[ thinks about it for a moment, arms crossing over his chest. ]

Means like... [ a pause. ] Being actively secretive? To the point of someone questioning your motives but you don't tell them. Then someone thinks you're mysterious because of being secretive. Or uh. Something like that.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ blinks a little. ]

Is bad?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Not really. Depends on the person. [ taps foot on the ground, face scrunching up. ] It's sorta like... the great big unknown to people. Like walking in the dark with both eyes closed.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't answer for a moment before he finally shakes his head in seeming defeat. ]

Is hard word. Hard to understand. Mean is deep and not touch-real. Find word in book later. . .

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ pats his shoulder again. ]

Hey, at least you can say it. That's a plus, right?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Ja! Find word more easy!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head in amusement before looking at the door. ]

So, uh. Luggage?
