More flowers?

[ Rhy can't help his curiosity despite his darker mood, and in an attempt to lighten it, goes along with whatever Kyle wants for now. He has an inkling that perhaps the other man is trying to make him (maybe both of them) feel better. A distraction.

Rhy holds out his hand as bidden. ]

[ushiri]

Close.

[ He draws out his own fist and sets something in Rhy's palm: it looks like a translucent, pale green stone the size of a grape, but if he closes his palm around it he'll find that it's soft like a fruit. ]

My Domain has fruit like this - I had one pop into my hand one afternoon when I got hungry. [ So, that's new. ] They're sweet. It'll disappear in an hour if you don't eat it.

[ Which is a shame, because he thinks they're pretty too. But if Rhy does eat it, he'll find that he won't be hungry for the rest of the day.

With that done, and everything unpacked, he starts to step away. ]

[ Rhy's eyes widen. He lifts the fruit up between the fingers of his opposite hand, turning it to catch the light. It is, in fact, very pretty. ]

Wait, you pulled this from the Horizon?

[ His voice has dropped, just between the two of them in case anyone approaches for the crates. ]

[ushiri]

[ Both eyebrows raise in confusion. ]

Well, I don't know if they specifically come from there. They just look similar. [ Would that be odd? He hadn't thought about it all that hard. The fact that he was pulling gem-like grapes out of thin air was strange enough at the time. His brow furrows and he's frowning now, almost regretting mentioning it. ]

Why?

[londonbound]

I've just never heard of such a thing being possible. That place stands apart from the physical realm-- or so I thought. I'm no expert, though. I'm hardly even a magician.

[ Rhy shrugs, and pops the Very Fancy Grape into his mouth. ]

Oh. It's quite good, thank you, Kyle.

[ushiri]

[ Kahlil's roommate makes coffee mugs and useable hair dryers appear out of thin air. He thinks that's more impressive than strange grapes. But it's something to consider, since he has no other answer for where this new power came from other than Jack's strange powers rubbing off on him out of nowhere...

Having the Singularity be responsible is slightly less alarming.

He nods when Rhy thanks him, offering a small smile. ]

I should get back to work.

[ And with that he's off. ]
