[ once the trains start running, of course apollo takes the first one he can find and ventures off to one of the biomes. he's still not fully in vacation mode, but he's at least changed out of his suit and into jeans, a t-shirt, and a jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. may as well take advantage while they can? it's still weird to think about though.
it's why he finds himself standing in the middle of the luna market, boggling at the potions available and watching the mole proprietors with the most alarmed expression.
Maybe that guy was right and this really is all a dream.
he seems to realize he's not alone though, so that's... mildly reassuring. ]
[ maybe we shouldn't resort to violence?? but also no lie, he does feel safer with her having a weapon just in case. he's busy trying to remember if moles have sharp teeth or not. ]
They look real... and they're not getting closer so maybe they're fine?
I'm pretty sure they're also mostly blind. So if we don't make any sudden moves, maybe they won't even notice. [ this is not true. the moles can see, and they have been noticed, judging by the way they seem to hone in on the two of them and wave merrily. happy lil squeaks... ]
... no. But moles usually aren't several feet tall either, so I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore. Why do they look so friendly and still feel so threatening... ?
You can still probably fight small bears. [ probably? ] What if we show them we're non-threatening... ? Don't give them a reason to stop being friendly and attack first.

[ that's the paranoia, apollo. ]

[ kiruko is also full of paranoia. ]
At this size, they're almost like... small bears.

but fine, fine... there's a firm nod and he begins to creep forward toward the moles. they chitter louder, seemingly excited for their appearance. ]
At least they sound welcoming? [ this is muttered under his breath, but also... help. ]
no subject
[ at least kiruko isn't a big enough jerk to leave him, and as promised, isn't far behind. ]

What if they're just people in costumes? [ the blue badger exists. it's possible. ]

[ as they approach though, the moles seem eager and offer both of them two potion bottles. ]
Uh. [ a glance back at kiruko. zero trust, but what if... ]
no subject
[ that's not quite right but ok ]

Might be just a drink? It doesn't look like it's dangerous. [ but that does not mean it isn't and they know it. ]
