[ PONTAAAA ah, temenos looks glad to see him. he's keeping a safe distance from Emotions TM, but there is a very faint sense of !! and fondness when they spot each other. ]
Ponta, you look taller. [ he's made this joke so many times ] Are you adjusting alright? Welcome back.
[ Meanwhile there is not much of any emotion resonating off of Ponta. This is the week where everyone finds out that a lot of the seeming good mood he radiates really is entirely 'fake it 'til you make it' territory. ]
Thank you, thank you. It's as if I never died, really. Weird thing to be saying, but it's true? I don't even have remnant injuries or anything.
[ words spoken by someone who does not believe in miracles unless they are like, handcrafted.
anyway. ]
I can't say it surprised me, when we saw your name in the paper. I had wondered if perhaps that would be your team's solution, after our conversations.
It did... not all go as planned, but. Yeah, basically.
[ He didn't think Will would do it quite so painfully nor that he'd turn into the Riddler after, but life is full of little adventures!! ]
We were already pretty sure that bringing the dead back is possible, but just in case something goes wrong with that it seemed like a good idea to sacrifice someone who isn't like... load-bearing for his world's safety.
The best laid plans of foxes and rabbits. [ there's a little spark of amusement at that, kind of rueful. like. yeah. nothing ever goes to plan. murdergames in a nutshell. ]
An overall logical train of actions, in a very illogical place. [ there's a faint sense of approval, just light. ] At least you were spared the torment of many, many weeks in the office building, too: I'm glad to have you back, Ponta.
[ Ponta isn't sure if it was as logical as Temenos is interpreting it, rather than just being a whole lot of 'my one priority is not hurting the people a love', but hey... He'll take the approval. ]
Thanks. It's good to be back. Let's kick the moon's ass.
[ And after a brief pause: ]
Oh also, my real name is Citrus. I don't actually care if you call me that or stick to Ponta, but I felt like it'd be nice to let you know at this point. Trying to be more honest here.
