OPEN unexpected yet expected

[kole.]

Kole had almost forgotten about Xanti. Not for a lack of care, of course; alright, maybe; but truth be told, Kole didn't remember any particular interactions with the cheetahcore before. Kole had never had a habit of just dropping by with medical staff of any of the groups he'd joined before, he didn't need healing; perks of vampirism; and he'd never had any sort of interest in being a doctor. Kole was better at breaking people than fixing them, in his opinion.

So, when he heard Xanti's voice while he was out planting one day, it was a momentary lapse in memory that stopped him in his tracks. He knew he'd heard the voice before, but who it belonged to was lost to him. Wasn't until he got a little closer and actually spotted the doctor xemself that Kole remembered. Oh shit, that's right, Xanti was one of the doctors here. Duh.

"Xantiiii," Kole drawled, pretending that he hadn't just forgotten that this guy existed in the first place. He felt a little guilty about that, in hindsight. Oops. "Glad to see you're back, buddy. Meteor'll be happy with the supplies, and I'm glad I don't have to go out lookin' for 'em myself anymore. Which reminds me..." he plonked his ass down on the sand, "Meteor's Pharoah now. Few casualties in the eruption, old man Prometheus was one of 'em, 'parently. Along with, uhh, Ryouki, Siri... Couple missin', too, but I guess they're dead. Not great, y'know?"
