[PRP] Sun Struck Meeting (Meechi x Floren)

[Unaru]

Archaeological searches under the blazing sun yield a more interesting find.

Today was a day for discovery! Planning excursions to the desert always put the young jadeblooded rebel in an energetic mood. They were also rather pleasant for Mother, who much preferred journeys of discovery over those of exuberant destruction of royalist property. If the young boy didn't respect her as much as he did, he would have probably gotten himself into some more seriously sticky situations by now.
Meechi had taken out his all terrain four wheel jalopy to navigate the sands. The mechanical monstrosity was VERY clearly made by a child and not very subtle at all. Meechi still hadn't quite figured out how to get it too go much faster than Mother's flying speed, so that was just fine for his lusus.
The two started traversing the dunes near Chittentown, the desert was a vast sea of nothingness, so the virgin mother grub urged him to not veer too far into the wastelands. Her charge agreed, every now and then after a big sand storm he would get lucky and run across an old broken piece of pottery, or other useless trinket from times long since past. Anything that might even have a remote chance of being connected to the jadebloods of old gave the little rebel a reason to get excited.
Taking a different route than usual the two began to notice a hive in the distance.
"I wonder if it's a ruin!" the boy yelled, making a beeline for the structure. Mother knew better of course, but during daylight hours the potential for danger was much lower (barring the occasional shambling corpse that she made sure to avoid if they ever spotted one). As they drew closer, Meechi's excitement dulled, the hive looked very much modern, perhaps in use, probably nothing too interesting. None the less he slowed down as they neared to give it a solid once over.
From within the hive itself, it would not be hard to spot the little jadeblood and his mother grub curiously perusing the abode's perimeter.

The occupant of this particular hive was busy in the tunnels below, tending to a few animals he'd taken in when Meechi and his lusus arrived. His inspection was not immediately noticed, at least not until Skoli began to act strangely. Floren noted that his lusus seemed to be following something as he moved through the tunnels, occasionally pressing up against the wall of one as if wanting to follow something, but restraining himself lest he cause damage to the structural integrity of Floren's hive above.

Well, that was certainly interesting. He finished up what he was doing, washed his hands quickly, and then trotted up the stairs to see if he could figure out what was going on. Was it daylight already? He hadn't thought he'd spent that much time below, but Skoli did tend to "follow" the corpses that wandered around when the sun was up.

No, it was still night. He slowed as he approached the front of his hive, just in case it wasn't a friendly visitor. Said visitor passed by one of the front windows as he approached - another troll, around his age... nothing to be worried about. Caution moved to relaxation, but then immediately into.. he couldn't name it- all at once his pulse sped up, hair raising on his neck and arms as the virgin mothergrub lusus that was following the other troll around floated on by.

He moved quickly to the front door, not really thinking about what might happen if this other troll wasn't friendly, and pulled it open. "Can I help you?" Floren raised his voice so that the other could hear him clearly. The question was a fall back he used on pretty much anyone that wandered by his hive - he was still too focused on actually seeing a real mothergrub to think of anything else to say.
