Who: Candy and Onyxx.
What: Candy rescues Onyxx from the desert on Wild West Day.
When: Monday.
Where: The American desert.

Candy had flown the glyph (which she was proud enough to have made period; it was twice the size of the last one she'd made) at breakneck speed to the desert areas. She was trying to sit in a ladylike fashion, not used to wearing fluffy skirts, while at the same time looking for Onyxx.

She saw the words before she saw him, swooping down in a blind panic before really seeing him. Monster, no, but it certainly was different from how he'd been before. She smiled, shaking her head. He had it wrong; she still had butterflies in her stomach, even when he was made of rock. If anything, she just hoped the glyph could hold their combined weight.

"Onyxx!" She scrambled out of the glyph, trying not to flash him, and ran over. She grinned up at him, studying him. "Are you okay?"

Candy didn't want to giggle at how cute he was; she didn't want to risk him taking it the wrong way and getting offended. But she had to hide a smile behind her hand when he put his on his hips. It was ... sweet. A visceral reminder that Onyxx was under all of that.

"I don't mind. And honestly, I was sort of focused on seeing you. But if we think about it, deserts are in the south. I'll try and fly more northeast. It's what, one o'clock?" She squinted, looking up at the sun. "It paid to have brothers in the Boy Scouts."

	He was glad she knew what time it was. His watch had broken when he changed form. "Y'know, I'd make an ensign Zulu joke, but you're way too hot to be George Takei and I'm not melodramatic enough to be Shatner." He gestured towards the glyph, which he knew Candy was proud of. "That's definitely impressive enough to be the Enterprise, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know, I'm almost done with the first book of Lumeric's Six? I can make inanimate objects dance now. Not really useful, but still. It makes me laugh." She shrugged and waited for him to climb into the glyph. "I could be Uhura?" She grinned, nudging him a little bit with her hip. "You're not the only geek around here."

	Onyxx clambered into the glyph, being careful not to hit Candy as he did. "See, we would be perfect in a scifi universe," he laughed. "Although I'm not going to go bald and Data gets the emotion chip right away because he's a little creepy without it." Once he was situated, he glanced over at her. "Lumeric's Six? What's that?"

"We would!" She was laughing and grinning, and took the chance to pat his leg. She hoped he felt more comfortable around her, hoped he realized that there wasn't a reason to fear her rejection based on appearances alone.

She thought up and the glyph moved steadily upward. It responded to her every will almost as she thought it, and she wiggled her toes in delight. "Lumeric's Six is an anthology of magical textbooks. Sort of a how-to of Abaratian magic. A bookstore here had a copy. I know, I was surprised too."

He hesitated for a moment and then reached out and gently, very gently rested a finger on Candy's hand. One finger covered it almost completely. "Huh. Wonder if I could find my old helmet lying around." The helmet was a metal thing, more like a huge faceplate than a real helmet, with four slits cut into it for his eyes. He wouldn't need it if he got back to normal, but maybe he could rework it to use as part of a superhero suit...

	Slim fingers wrapped around his large one, and she settled back, working to find a way she could rest against him comfortably. "Maybe. Things seem to come through as well as people." She shrugged and forgot to tell the glyph to move, enjoying hovering in the air with him. "I ... kind of forgot what we were looking for," she said sheepishly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Onyxx chuckled and adjusted so she could get comfortable. One arm, fairly smooth, snaked around her waist. "We're looking for a town," he reminded her softly, "but we can take our time." He smiled, the rock on his face shifting just slightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't see him smiling, but Candy could hear it well enough in his voice. "Right." She moved the glyph mentally, turned it around and swung it in the direction where she assumed a town would lie. Candy swallowed and stroked his arm a bit. "I - I just want to say I hope you know I'm not going anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent)
