Levi clicked off his cassette player and took off his headphones as he noticed Lucian running up alongside him. He ran silently for a while more, letting Lucian finish his thought. [color=82ca9d]“... Yeah… intense is definitely a word for it.”[/color] He chuckled slightly under his breath. [color=82ca9d]“But hey, could be worse. We’re not all dead… yet. Depends on whether or not the concussed man back there accidentally fries his ship’s reactor as to if we stay that way, though.”[/color] He paused again, turning slightly as the beach did.

His feet kept kicking up the sand behind him, as he minded his pace a little more now that someone was running with him. He just stayed silent for the most part, not really knowing how to phrase his thoughts in a way that would make sense, without coming across as potentially demeaning. So, he opted to focus on running while the gears in his head whirred. He noted the cool breeze off the ocean, and the beautiful color contrast between the trees, the ocean, and the beach.

[color=82ca9d]“... Magic being real is interesting. Not good or bad necessarily just... interesting. Not sure how I feel about other worlds, though.”[/color] He finally said, his legs starting to feel the burn as he kept going. That wasn’t much of a concern for him, they ran for maybe five miles before he had spoken again, and a full lap around this island was maybe twelve to fourteen. The only reason he was feeling it now was because he’d already ran a full lap earlier that morning. [color=82ca9d]“I guess… I’m just a little worried about the others. You know them, they don’t always think things through. And around here, sure, that’s fine. Worst care they end up in swimming in the ocean, or in a sparring match they weren’t ready for. But out there, who knows what’s waiting?”[/color] He exhaled hard. Or, at least, harder than he already had been. That definitely wasn’t everything going through his mind, but it seemed he wasn’t comfortable sharing any other thoughts right now. It wasn’t because he didn’t feel he could share his thoughts with Lucian, moreso because he couldn’t find the right words to do so.

[color=82ca9d]“So, how about you? What’s your take on this whole mess?”[/color] He offered Lucian a small smile.
