Aile stormed back from her Sentience Test and headed straight to her room, locking the door and starting to argue with the various Livemetals

Rockman was...well, he wasn't sure where he was at the moment. He hadn't been paying attention in his wanderings. But he was in Aile's world so felt the irritation through the link. He sent his concern back her way as he tried to backtrack his steps.

Aile sent feelings of comfort down the link, trying to convey she didn't really need Rockman to come over right then.

Rockman stopped, confused. He sent a questioning feeling back, then,

Aile?

Was he close enough to send words?

[not_rockman]

Mrrrrf.

So he was, but Aile had no interest in using real ones at the moment.

[not_rockman]

...'kay.

Rockman showed up not a minute later. Forget finding his way back; he just teleported. He knocked but didn't wait for her to answer before coming in. And he'd hug her if she'd let him.

[not_rockman]

She let him, and hugged him back. "Sorry."

[megadidit]

"No need to be sorry. I just want to make sure you're okay and that you stay that way."

[not_rockman]

Aile nodded and dragged him over the computer, bringing up a name site. "Says here my name means 'wing...' What's the opposite of wing, you think?"

[megadidit]

Rockman blinked. "Ummmm, fin?"

[not_rockman]

Aile typed for a minute, then shook her head. "Nothing good there, either."

[megadidit]

"This is hard. What if we just....spelled your name backwards? Would that count as opposite?"
