[THE BAR IT IS!! Luke is not much of a drinker but he's wandering all over since he was only on this side of the ship for like four days. He takes a seat too, glancing around like he expects to be hit by maraca-wielding illusions again.]
It seems like it. [He holds out a hand, flexing his fingers.] I'm not sure if there's any difference between us and Viktor, though.
...Perhaps death is a cause of temporary insanity.
[ thinking about the daddy messages on the HERMES and the. crystal rat pigs. maybe that's the only explanation there will ever be.
more seriously though, he nods, gaze flicking over luke's motion briefly - much less dry. ] Let me know if you need anything. I am no apothecary, but if it becomes painful, now that my abilities have returned to me, I can help.
Oh--well, I don't know if she's asked him. I just figured she would. [Since it's obvious Throné cares deeply for Viktor, and if Temenos has his powers back, and if Viktor is their ailing Victorian child...] I asked him about it myself after you and I talked, but he's so stubborn.
[He has no idea what you're talking about. What eyebrow raise. Do you even have eyebrows]
Can't, or won't? [What if HE forces it!!! Just knock that twink out for a few minutes and get him while he's down!!!! No he won't do that. (Probably.) But it seems good to know the answer for sure, if only to add it to what little he got to learn about Temenos while he was alive.]
anyway, there's a slight, wry smile. ] A bit of both.
I don't think Throné has asked me, truth be told, because I imagine it would upset him immensely if it were done without his permission. Scholars like to solve their own problems, no matter how simple a solution is presented.

anyway. ]
Well, I suppose you did take an extra step in between, considering. [ the
guinea pigs ] How are you feeling? Honestly.
no subject
[And this could not have been accomplished in any way besides guinea pigs, obviously.
But he lifts a hand, rubbing absently at his chest.]
I'm okay. I'll meet up with Io later to be sure, though.

[Light, playful!! Y'ALL WEREN'T DEAD WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE FOR HANGMAN.
He tilts his head slightly, then nods.]
Thanks. [Hmm.] Has Throné convinced Viktor to let you heal him yet?
no subject
...She has not even spoken to me of it yet. It's been a busy week. Can you extrapolate?

[ temenos says with a sigh. he is somehow, not even remotely surprised by this. ] A lesson that I'm sure you know just as well.
[ mr hides it. this is like a little pointed with an eyebrow raise, but. ]
I can't force it, and neither can she.

MAKES SUCH A PUT-UPON EXPRESSION AND SIGHS TIREDLY]
You can say that again.

I think it's a form of enrichment for them. [ smh ] A lot of brains, but so often lacking wisdom.
