*after having cleaned off the dust and dirt, Kaleidoscope started wandering around the Ark's surroundings, never really having had the time to explore before. She took her time, at a slow, leisurely pace... simply observing and exploring and learning about her new home. As much as she could learn through observation, that is. Sometimes, she merely sat and watched and listened, in a sort of meditative state for a half-hour or more, before moving on*
*after a couple hours, Kali finally returned to the Ark, making her way down the halls to the lounge. Getting a mug of mid-grade from the dispensers, she moved over to a computer console, searching for and then downloading information on her new beast-mode's form and other related facts (that - to her earlier embarrassment she found she was lacking) onto a datapad. Both in-hand, Kali moved over to one of the lounges sofas, carefully sitting down (it took some creative work to find a position to put her wings in, and sit at, where it wouldn't be uncomfortable). Sipping at the mid-grade, a small smile crossed her face as she began to read the information on the datapad*

Date: 2006-04-09 06:04 am (UTC)[s] Whether it helps or not... I'll still be here for you, Tracks...
*at Tracks' explanation, Kali's optics go wide, her colours shifting to startled yellows and greens, then fading into muter, paler shades before slowly drifting back to her regular blue*
[s] Oh, Primus... Tracks. I... I... I don't know what to say. Primus. I hope she'll be all right, but... ...Primus...
*she sat back a little, stunned... then watched Tracks with sympathetic optics, frowning deeply*
.o(You're hurting so much. The pain; I can understand, even if I can't relate. Oh Tracks...)
*frowning, she tightened her grip on his hand, leaning in a little towards him* [s] Tracks... I... I don't know what to say. I don't think there is anything I can say. It... I can only imagine the hurt you must be feeling. I wish there was some way I could help you. Help heal all this, but...
*she trailed off, shaking her head, frowning more. She reached forward with her other hand, to rest it on Tracks' other hand* [s] I can... only hope for her safety... Nothing I say would change her mind; that I know. I'm... not a part of this. It's her choice to make. But... right now... Primus... YOU are the one I'm worried about. The one I want to help. To comfort...
*still sad and unsettled, Kali curled her fingers around Tracks' hands* [q] I feel so helpless. I want to help you, Tracks. I want to help heal this hurt, but... I fear whatever I can offer might only be superficial, or temporary at best. I can... only offer my support, comfort, but... *she trailed off, shaking her head faintly* [q] That can... only patch things, temporarily... It won't solve, or completely heal everything, no matter how much I wish it would.
*She paused again, trembling faintly. She pulled back a little, glancing around cautiously, nervously... before letting go of Tracks' hands, opening her arms a little* [s] But... if all I can do is offer comfort, then... I offer it willingly and without hesitation. My offer for a more private venue still stands. We've been lucky no one seems to be around, yet, but...
...I'll be here for you, if you need me, Tracks. *her voice soft, her colouring fading to a very pale pink*

Date: 2006-04-10 05:32 am (UTC)[q] I... wouldn't want to take up your time with my problems. And while I would like to get away someplace where I wouldn't have to face up to anyone else...I don't want you to think that you need to go along with me. Misery does love company, but I don't want you to be miserable as well, especially when no amount of discussion can help this, when it's all completely out of our hands. It's just...this feeling of total helplessness. Like I've somehow failed my only kin. I do thank you for your concern and patience, Kali... With Blaster away, there aren't many here I feel I can confide in...

Date: 2006-04-10 05:39 am (UTC)*still frowning, she stood, offering her hand to Tracks* [s] You haven't failed, Tracks. This... all this... you're not at fault at all. I don't know all the details, but...
*she trailed off, shaking her head* [q] You can always confide in me, Tracks. I want to be there for you whenever you might need me. Shall we head somewhere a little more private, then? *her colouring took on a faint shade of pink again* [s] Y-your quarters, or mine?
