[The best way to figure out the ups and downs of a puzzling situation is to explore! Right? Luke thinks so, and he's wandering up and down the streets of Luministi Greens East to get an idea of the lay of the land, so to speak, in his new neighborhood. It's weird to think about so he's trying not to; walking felt more familiar, prompting him to leave his bicycle at home.

"Home", rather.

After a while of sorting things out (the layout is nothing complicated, but he wants to sit down with a map anyway and start getting things all noted down in his notebook) he starts fiddling with the CAT again. The video function is pretty useful!]

The food they left out for us was sort of disappointing, wasn't it? I've got something less unimpressive, if anyone wants to hear a puzzle.

[Bit of a hard landing for someone with a limp, but he manages. Turning around and seeing blue butterfly wings is all its own surprise.]

Wow! ...Thanks! That was unbelievable!

[Her smile widens at his excitement.] I know, it's impressive, isn't it! I have lots of special powers and upgrades. That's just how cool I am.

[She twirls to show off her wings.]

They must be real...

...So you're a butterfly?

[action]

[notsot8rri8le]

Nope. Though I'm pretty enough to be one, that's for sure. Right? [She pauses. In her mind, this is his cue to agree.]

[He does take a minute to blush pretty brightly. How do you call a grey, horned, butterfly-girl who punches you pretty, exactly?]

It must be great to be able to just fly any time you want to.

[Don't think she neglected to notice that he hadn't answered her question! Well........ she's satisfied enough with his blush.]

It's generally great to be me.

Thanks for the lift. I'll have to go collect my bike tomorrow.

[Okay she may have hit him and has weird ideas about littering but she's not so bad. Luke smiles.]

[notsot8rri8le]

You're welcome. [See, she has manners. ::::)] I doubt anyone will steal it. But if they do, I'll give you mine!

[Useless device is useless!]

[luke_triton]

Really?

[Luke really doesn't know what to do with this girl. It's not helping that she's taller than him, either.]

I don't think anyone will steal it either. We've all got one, don't we?

[Wait.

Wait just a second. Luke's smile fades into a perfect curious-intrigued expression and one hand folds around the strap of his bag. While he looks Vriska in the eye.

The left eye, specifically.]

[notsot8rri8le]

Sure. It's not like I'm going to use it. Plus I can't be carrying you around everywhere and you walk funny.

[She blinks.]

What????????

[action]

[luke_triton]

I don't always walk funny-

[Nope, captivated by this interesting thing again. Luke is puzzled.]

It looks...kind of like a flower? [And clearly a bit impressed.]

[notsot8rri8le]

What looks kind of like a flower????????

[luke_triton]

Your eye. It's different from the other one.
