[The day is turning to night, and so the Fountain is not as busy as it will be in a few bells. There are some racers doing some laps in the early evening but it's not quite the swarm of people who were here when Rhea'li was here last.
He's in a slightly different outfit to last time they met, but nevertheless the holographic belts catch in the evening light.
[ Azem is dressed in their usual bright colors and crazy patterned loose-fitted clothing. They've recently discovered the joys of pants that look like skirts with deep pockets. It's made carrying things around significantly easier, they've found. ]
Thank you. I wish I could say it was by choice. [ They chuckle as they run a hand through it. ]
Oh, no no. [ They shake their head with a laugh. ] Just a little fire mishap.
Anyroad! Your gift. [ They dig around in their pocket before pulling out a smooth gleaming stone with veins of what appears to be blue crystal running through it that almost seem to give off a bit of light. ]
Rhea'li blinks at the stone for a moment. It isn't the first time he's come into possession of a rock (fine, crystal) from an Ancient, but this one presumably doesn't have the echo of memories resonating within them. Wordlessly plucking the stone from Azem's hand Rhea'li doesn't immediately reply, instead holding it up to the light and turning it this way and that to examine it thoroughly. He marvels at the way light dances off the crystal, a small smile curving his lips when he lowers his hand.]
[ As for the question, Azem is quiet for a moment as their gaze drops to their wrist where a bracelet that resembles a watch can be seen. However, instead of the face having a timepiece on it it has a moon that is lit up. They can't help but smile as they lift their gaze back to Rhea'li. ]
I am still saddened to learn what the future holds but things are well.
[ Azem tilts their head, giving him a curious look before grinning. ]
Certainly. I haven't been back here since Hades and I played a few games at the... [ They trail off, brow furrowing as they try to remember what the place is called. ] The arcade I believe.

He nods in Azem's direction returning the smile.]
Azem. The new hairstyle looks good on you.

[Surely there isn't a Jandelaine-like hairdresser forcing makeovers on people, including Azem?]

'Tis a pretty one, aye. Thank you.
[He tucks the stone into his many pockets.]
Where did you find it?

You're welcome. I thought mayhap it would make a nice piece of jewelry or something to simply decorate one's space. I'm glad you like it.
I found it near one of the waterways. Sadly it was the only one around.

How do you feel?

Shall we make things more well then? The Entertainment district is full of places to have a good time.
