[That's a weird question. He hums in thought and seems to be in the process of putting down whatever project he's screwing around with.]

You mean about the griffins and stuff? Not really...I mean I had a nightmare a while ago that you and Ruby were carried away and Roxas and I couldn't find you but that was months ago. Why?

[immobileyes]

You had a nightmare like-- um, no, never mind.

... I had a dream, not that long ago. About the griffins. They were flying around, and the collars they had weren't working anymore... they were happy.

[ But she's not sure why she dreamed it at all. ]

[zerotohiro]

[He'll talk about his weird nightmares later, they weren't the same griffins...just the idea. But he seems to be considering what she says because there's a curious pause.]

Happy griffins? Like somebody removed the collars for them? [This is different...] You think that means it's true? [Can people have predicting dreams here, we just don't know.]

[immobileyes]

I... don't know. I don't think we'd know for sure unless we went back there.

[ And that wasn't her favorite place to be. Medusae and cold don't mix. ]

[zerotohiro]

...I was thinking about going back into the jungle with a friend. The mountains wouldn't be too far I don't think, but I don't really remember how we got there either. If they're free...did it seem like they would leave the mountains at all?

[immobileyes]

I... don't think so. The mountain's the home, so... when I remember, they were just flying around it.

[zerotohiro]

...maybe we should go talk to Caeli. It's weird that you'd dream of something like that now when we haven't heard from those guys in a long time.

[immobileyes]

... I guess so. But he's sort of hard to talk to.

[ It's literally like talking to a cloud. ]

[zerotohiro]

He's easier than Maris. [Because screw that guy tbh.] It's worth a shot though, what else do we have to lose at this point?

[immobileyes]

... Yeah. But you'll come with me, though?

[zerotohiro]

[He looks surprised by the question.] Of course I will. We're in this together aren't we? Besides, it might be better if we both go since we're both his.

[immobileyes]

Yeah...

[ Hnnngh. ] O-okay... maybe he won't get mad, then. [ She's never actually seen Caeli get mad, but she's not too happy with the cloud after the whole elemental drop-off on a mountain thing. ]

[zerotohiro]

Right. [He nods confidently.] And if he gets mad...he's a cloud. We can probably just blow him away.

[Hiro please don't murder the air god...] We should really think about what questions to specifically ask, too. Caeli likes to talk in circles from what I remember.

[immobileyes]

... Like, what happened to the griffins? They're not being controlled anymore... from what I could tell, so we could ask about that too.

[zerotohiro]

He told us a long time ago that they used to be his. We should see how he regained them if they're even under him anymore. Let's go to his shrine soon and see if he's even there. I haven't had much luck the last couple of times I went.

[Occidi wasn't too happy with them...]

[immobileyes]

Okay...! Just let me know when you want to go.

... But I think I need a nap. [ sometimes she's actually 140. ]

[zerotohiro]

...really? [Mary why this.]

[immobileyes]

I'm really tired!

[ shut up, Hiro!! ]

[zerotohiro]

[Wow!!! But he laughs a little anyway because that's valid enough for him.]

Fine, go take a nap. We'll go in a couple of days, okay?

[immobileyes]

Okay! I'll be ready, I promise!

[ Probably. ]
