[THAT'S THE SPIRIT. He steps forward to open the door first without any concern whatsoever, my god. But it reveals the soft pink cloud room, so maybe his lack of wariness is fine??]
Oh! How lovely... I've never seen such a place before.
[He doesn't even bother testing the solidity of the ground before walking in.]
waner, for her part, does stop dead in her tracks when it reveals the pink clouds, but then he's walking and ... not falling straight through them, so she'll follow after him.]
[IT'S FINE. SEE!! IT'S FINE. All is well in Heaven.]
A very good question! Though I suppose the cave is inside of the clouds, as well? [If all of Heaven was just blue skies and clouds at first... He'll pass his hand through one, seemingly amused by the way it goes through.]
I did wonder every now and then what the clouds felt like.
[BETTER LATE THAN NEVER OR SOMETHING... He's a little surprised by the handhold but he is not averse to touch even normally, so he will gladly accept it as they continue exploring.
Sooner or later, though, there's a little flicker of something in the clouds... Lucas blinks.]
[CAUTIOUSLY... and quietly... moving to approach it... And as they go, the rest of the clouds also begin to stir?? THIS IS CONCERNING and he kind of steps like he's moving to protect her, but fortunately his stupid twink self doesn't have to try. All that happens is a beautiful courtyard forms around them, full of vibrant flowers and a lovely little fountain and some birds.]
[With a little frown, but not all that concerned, he'll move toward the fountain fixture - but when he leans down and reaches to put his hand on the edge, he nearly FALLS since his hand just goes right through.]
Thank you... [STEADIED. He glances back at the fountain edge, frowning just a bit.] That would make sense, I suppose. They really do think of everything here, don't they?
...or at least they try to. [she tilts her head to one side, curious, watching the look on his face for a moment before her gaze drifts to the fountain.] Would you tell me about this place?
[A light little hum. They sure do try to... But he'll turn his attention back to her, nodding.]
Of course. It's the hospital I and my younger sister stayed at... so I suppose it is a bit of a comfort to me, since it reminds me of her. The courtyard itself is very lovely too, isn't it?
It is. It seems like a very relaxing place to spend one's time. [especially if the courtyard was solid and not made of clouds.] What brought you and your sister to the hospital?

Why are there clouds inside of a cave?

she hesitantly passes her fingertips through one.]
...I wonder if this is what all clouds feel like? Or if these ones are just a special case...
no subject
[Poll time on their heavenly chatlog...
He'll move further into the room after that, though, glancing about the place.]
It does seem very empty outside of the clouds, doesn't it?
no subject
[she does not yet realize that if you concentrate you can shape the clouds. she's just looking at them with confusion as she follows him.]
Though I suppose it would be diffciult to see if there was anything else here, through the clouds, until we got close enough to it.
no subject
Oh, that's a very good point... We'll have to keep watch, then. Wouldn't want to bump into anything...
[Extending a hand gently as he moves forward IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR CAUTION.]
no subject
No, we would not.
[what secrets are you hiding, pink clouds...]

—Did you see something? Over there...

[she gasps as he points it out, having noticed the flicker.]
...yes. There was something. Let's approach quietly.
no subject
Let's.
