[ Sirius stares for a moment in clear confusion when he's addressed. ]
I can only understand half this conversation at best, you know. [ His tone is dry and faintly amused ] You'll have to fill me in on the details.
[ He feels more at ease now, more whole in a sense. It's a feeling he'd almost forgotten, that sense of resonating with his environment. They'd joked that it was like getting your sea legs, back on planet, though it had been a while since he'd seen the ocean.
(The Omni Cube had played fast and loose with his body, and when Altair had torn it from him it had taken part of his soul with it too. Even with it restored, everything in its proper place, it was a relic that he knew would kill him in the end, pumping its own power through his veins to substitute. An artifact of impossible power that could preserve its owner, as long it was fed, and as long as you didn't mind becoming little more than a vessel of its power in the end as it remade you in its image.
Even after its destruction, he'd felt...off, though his own scans and others' had declared him to be in perfect physical health...what was left of him, anyway. Strange that it would take an incident like this to fix it.) ]
