[Lyle's just standing at a point somewhere near, but not too near, to where the Doctor and Oliver's shelter is. He's gazing up at the sky - or the black hole in the sky, rather - and just looking really... tired.

Dully:] You really wouldn't have thought that something so deadly would look so weirdly... beautiful.

Did it work?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Actually, it did.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Imagine that....

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

It's something, isn't it?

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Can't argue with that.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[It's getting tiring standing now, so he settles himself on the ground after a quick hole check]

... Actually, I am curious about something.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[He looks over at him.]

And what's that?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Here goes...]

... What did you get up to, since we last saw each other? I mean, Tieria told you about - so you know that I already know about some of it, but...

[Let's take a little time to take a long stroll down memory lane and sort everything out. Hm...]

I finished off school and enlisted in the army as a sniper. I served out my term until I was free to go and not long after that Celestial Being found and recruited me. I spent a few years getting trained through them and then... I guess you can fill in the blanks from there.

[Nods]

Explains why you were so much better than me.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

I don't know about that. It took a bit of practice for me to get as good I am, maybe you just need to keep at it too.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles and points to the black hole over their heads as an answer]

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[Looks up and starts laughing with him.] I meant if you ever get out of this sodding mess and get back home.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Practice makes perfect?

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

That's what I said.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Well, if I ever make it back to the other side, I'll let you know how that goes.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

I look forward to hearing your success story.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Grins at him]

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[Grins back and holds up a hand. Don't leave me hanging, bro.]

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Brotherly high-five? Why the hell not. :D]

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

[No reason you shouldn't.]

Think you could ever beat me?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

I'd settle for equalling you.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

You might, one of these days.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

[mr-dynames.livejournal.com]

Have a little faith in yourself, would you?

[Aaaaand let's reach around behind the 'younger' brother and pull him in a headlock for a little quality bonding over a noogie.]
