So the trio headed back toward the purple station, Therion taking the lead at first though eventually Raz took over in his excitement to get going. They all boarded, and soon enough the cat-pulled train got going. Therion was quiet for most of the trip, content to just people watch and ignore whatever comments Raz and Jesse made. However he did pipe up when Raz directly addressed him (by the wrong name). He bristled slightly. [color=BC8DBF]"[i]Therion.[/i] That was when I was enchanted, or brain-washed, or whatever that thing does to people,"[/color] he said, which was the truth. [color=BC8DBF]"I wasn't scared,"[/color] he followed with, which was a lie. Therion crossed his arms and scowled, dropping himself onto one of the open seats on the subway car's benches. [color=BC8DBF]"Can't blame a guy for thinking it was a spell that ran on mana."[/color] It was really his only frame of reference for weird stuff like that. In fact he still didn't know what a "psychic" was, just that they were technically different from mages. And, now, that their powers didn't rely on mana - which was good to know for the future. When they pulled into the station, the place they arrived to was not at all what Therion had expected. When he thought of "Queen's Station" he pictured a magnificent building, with marble pillars and richly colored drapery looked after by more than a few decorated guardsmen. The doors would take them outside to some kind of castle town in a queendom. Instead, they got a dim, overgrown and sort of somber place that seemed like it was almost underground. There was a certain charm to it, as if it may have been the illustrious place Therion pictured years and years ago, but he couldn't be sure. As he, Jesse, and Raz ascended the spiral staircase and they were able to get a glimpse of the few people in the station, a sudden realization came to his mind. When Raz was listed off everything he was seeing he'd even made mention of a lot of bugs. The thief just barely stopped himself from slapping his own forehead. [color=BC8DBF]"Queen as in an insect queen,"[/color] he said, the tone of his voice very unamused. So the probably really were underground, in some kind of gigantic nest. That was frankly a disgusting thought, but Therion could bear with it thanks to the place looking more like an abandoned man-made structure than a hole in the ground. He left all of the note taking to the others, deciding to start ascending again. He only glanced back when Raz asked about the Moogles before trailing off into what might as well have been gibberish to Therion. ...now that he thought about it though, he had no clue how calling the Moogles actually worked. he'd seen that dark haired kid do it in the desert, and Vandham had given them a very brief rundown of the process, but was it [i]really[/i] as simple as he'd made it sound? If Therion called out to one and nothing showed up he was going to feel really dumb. Deciding to ignore Raz's nonsense question, he cleared his throat before speaking. [color=BC8DBF]"Moogle,"[/color] he said, and after a few seconds one of the creatures popped up in front of them. It glanced around the area, slightly confused at first, but then it brought a little hand up to it's head and tapped it's noggin a few times. "You must be with the recon team," it reasoned. "Sorry, but could you find a better place to call? We Moogles can hear you just fine, but back at the base they won't be able to pick up our return signal." It looked overhead at the hanging moss, and out over the canyon where the area above them couldn't be seen given the combination of vegetation and shadows. "Try going up?" it suggested. It stuck around for any questions the crew might have before disappearing, leaving the three to themselves once more. [right][sub][@Zoey Boey][@TruthHurts22][/sub][/right]
