Mystery Adventure

Finally the goat spoke. “… I know. And I’m sorry you’ve been put into this situation.” He didn’t wanna give up like this but… it was just so hard not to. What would happen to Scorpio if his brother didn’t manage to whip him back into shape? It wasn’t his brother’s fault that he’d lost his spark.

Capricorn actually hesitated a moment as he took the small island in. Was his brother trying to recreate the Warrior Trials? Or at least a feel of them? He was certainly lacking physically at the moment to even hope to survive the real thing. Though even if he were in peak condition he wasn't sure he his conviction was strong enough to last as it once had. ... The goat shook his head to try and clear such thoughts. This was not the trials. This was not life or death... at least not yet. Taking a breath, he shed his coat and passed it off to Scorpio as instructed before stepping out into the ash and towards the fire.

He didn’t have any trouble with the balance but he sat down anyway so he could curl up with his back to the wind rather than it coming straight into his face as Scorpio flew them to… where ever it was they were going. He briefly thought about trying to form a small fire in his hand to help keep him warmer but thought better of it. It would just get blown away in the wind and if he held it too close he’d just set his coat on fire.

Capricorn only sighed as he got his coat and wrapped himself in it. Again, no question or complaint as he followed. He hoped they weren’t going some where particularly cold seeming Scorpio told him to grab his coat.

The goat startled awake. At first he was confused by the scorpion’s actions but then he saw the armor and did not question. Instead he quietly got up and got dressed… He probably could have been faster about it, but he was ready now… for whatever it was Scorpio seemed to have planned.

The fact Cap even nibbled it once was enough to have the bug’s hopes high. His tail tip wags as he grins. “It’s called ‘chocolate’, it’s a popular sugary treat on earth! Lotta their scientists say it helps with sad feelings, so ah got yeh some. Different kinds, too! Hot chocolate, bar chocolate, dipping chocolate… yeh can dip fruits innit! They pretty tasty then.” Scorps sits on the bed next to Cap and nudges his side. “It ain’t a fix all, but ah hope it’s helping, brother.”

The goat gave a faint, weak smile, and even though faint smiles were not uncommon for him once before, it currently did not reach his eyes as much as it should. "Thank you again, brother. I do not know how much it will help my mood, but it is indeed sweet and taste pleasant."

As expected, he did not protest or resist being lead to bed and simply waited there quietly as his brother left his side to fetch whatever it was he wished him to have. His hand brushed over the soft, warm blankets for but a brief moment before Scorpio returned. "...?" Capricorn was not entirely sure what to make of the brown rectangle, but eventually he took it as Scorpio wished. His nostrils flared slightly with a sniff as he took in the unfamiliar scent before nibbling on the brown thing. It was strange, but it was sweet, so he continued nibbling.

He had not been in the room long, but he could still see the changes from what it was when he'd left, even if they were not much. The goat turned his low gaze to the bug. "Thank you brother, but you did not need to go to the trouble," Capricorn said in regards to the room.

As soon as Cap was through the teleporter, Scorpio was hugging him tightly.  “M’sorry m’sorry yeh jus’ got here t’be sent away like that ah didn’t mean t’ ah fergot th’season was comin’!” A good whiff of the goat let him know it was Cap, and not some machine like Shade had obviously teased about sending. Still, maybe a grooming later just to make sure! He pulls away, wringing his claws nervously as he looks Capricorn over. “How yeh feelin’? Was Shade good t’yeh?”

The goat nearly stumbled back on his hooves when the bug sprung and latched on him. Though it hadn't been quite enough to completely lose his footing, not to mention his brother's arms kept him up. Then the other let go and was looking him over. "Much the same as when I arrived and when I left a month ago," Capricorn answered. "And no worse than Apollo. Though he was only demanding when it came to scheduled activities of my care, along with the occasional... oddness."

When Capricorn soon appeared from the teleporter, he looked much the same as when he first arrived. Perhaps a little cleaner and a little less gaunt, but he was still lean and his appearance no where near the standard he once kept. Not to mentioned he still looked as tired and somber as before.

At The Telporters Again

"Yes I am, do you have a name other then Goat?" Maker he was a dour one. Shade circled around the small alien as he looked him over. "Anyways Scorpio told me you eat plants, there are plenty of them on the island, stay out of most of the bots ways and you should be left alone. If you want a fight it is easy enough to instigate one."

"My name is Capricorn," he answered. So it would seem that he was going to be left to his own devices once more and fending for himself. Much like when he'd been living out of his ship, alone in the forest. Except he didn't have his ship anymore, or his armor, or anything else he had once owned. Apollo had taken it all. All except his sword that is. A single momento of his past while all the rest was to be destroyed. Not like he had his sword with him though. Oh well.
