#HAUYNE
“Wait Zenos? You’re the. One Hauyne. Mentioned!”

They get up putting the paper and pen down and approach Zenos

“Hauyne said. I should. Meet you.”

They turn their head towards Zenos confused

“Wait Hauyne. Is your. Mother?”

“Glad to hear it. Hauyne, would you like a game with Goomink?” Vanta offers.
November 5, 2026 at 2:08 PM
Hauyne...?

"Oh. Uh... I'm Lua."
November 1, 2026 at 6:49 PM
Kai manages to find Hauyne first, “So, how are you feeling now? You seem satisfied.”
November 3, 2026 at 11:00 PM
“Let’s head out then.” She waits for Hauyne to transform back before leaving the Hyperspace first.
November 4, 2026 at 12:21 AM
“Onward! To new home!” Goomink exclaims, “Vanta show the way!”

The Interceptor sighs, “Don’t have anything better to do, Hauyne, you up?”
November 4, 2026 at 4:55 PM
“Yes I. Am alright. Hauyne.”

They sigh and look down, they are fine, right? They wouldn’t lie to Hauyne unless it was important and so they attempt to change the topic and stares back at the fire while keeping an eye on Hauyne

“I met. With Lua. A few. Days ago. He seemed. Sad, why?

Just as she's about to investigate a small silhouette, she notices Hauyne, "Ah, done already? And I thought I was pretty fast."
November 4, 2026 at 12:57 AM
"...!" They hear Hauyne refer to them, and reveal themselves. Dull purple eyes meet her mask, and they realize their dilemma: Hauyne can't read what's on their tablet. So, the next best thing is...

* Hey guys! *

They play a pre-recorded clip of a flowery voice to greet Hauyne.

"Mhm! Water nice! Refreshing for Goomink!"

"That settles it then. Hauyne, Kai, Astrid, I'll see you in a bit. Gonna give Goomink a nice soak." Vanta leaves, taking Goomink with her.

Stepping back into reality, Kai gives a big stretch, “Phew…” Her eyes flicker purple.

Now that Hauyne thinks about it, why does Kai’s eyes flicker purple?
November 5, 2026 at 2:13 AM
“Wait Renegade?”

They look down

“They’re mean?”

They are actually genuine and stare at Hauyne look a lost puppy
November 3, 2026 at 2:05 AM
“…” She just stares, astounded, “Yeah, I’ll just go the other direction…” And off she goes to do her own thing as Hauyne tears up the area.
November 3, 2026 at 11:08 PM
They take the collar and clip back around their neck

“Testing testing. Testing.”

Seems it’s sorta of fixed being able to say two words without a pause now

“Thank you. Hauyne.”

They smile under the mask but stare at the iron valiant

“I have. A question. Hauyne.”
November 2, 2026 at 4:28 PM
"Hey, I have an idea. Me and Kai, you and Lua, Hauyne and Crescent. All three of us have a day out together, a triple date." She continues to nom on cheesecake.
November 6, 2026 at 3:47 AM
“Okay.”

They put the cape gently down and sit down

“I’m. Echo. Hauyne. Gave. Name.”
November 1, 2026 at 6:04 PM
She whistles softly... she's really acting like a bird now.

~Call me Hauyne.~

What do they expect? Goomink is a whole other breed and league above even his own species.
November 4, 2026 at 5:33 AM
“Sorry. Didn’t. Mean. Overreact.”

The interceptor feels the hand on their shoulder and hugs Hauyne for a bit before letting go

“Thank. You.”

The interceptor gives a little thumbs up to reassure Hauyne

“I’m. Okay.”
November 1, 2026 at 5:41 AM
They shrug

“Welcome. Too. Try.”

They take it off, as a metallic clink is heard as they grab the collar and hands it to Hauyne

“…”
November 2, 2026 at 3:57 PM
“Dang and. Hauyne said. You would. Be nice. Guess I’ll. Tell her. You weren’t.”

They chuckle and walk back to their spot smirking underneath their helmet picking up their Pen and Paper and started drawing the city skyline again
November 5, 2026 at 3:11 AM
"...Heh, thought you'd never ask." Kai proceeds to find a game to play as Astrid changes the settings in Vivarium.

Looks like the day hasn't winded down for Hauyne yet, and Kai's ready to help her friend with that.
November 6, 2026 at 2:02 AM
"Eh... Give me a day or two, I'll get rested up and then I'll get them sorted in."

Code for: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

The small silhouette is now behind Hauyne, though it's not malicious at all.
November 4, 2026 at 3:12 AM
* No no no! *

The flowery voice again, as Azimuth frowns. How the hell is she going to communicate effectively with Hauyne? Maybe a Pokemon could help?
November 2, 2026 at 3:13 AM
“Damn, even I’m having a hard time trying to keep track of what’s going on…”

Kai continues to let Hauyne do her thing, mildly fascinated on the capabilities of the Eidolon race that her friend is part of.
