She felt... bad. She had her nodes with her, as she always did, but she was going to meet someone rather sensitive to magic. As she held onto Tesla while she walked, she hoped this wouldn't be an issue for this breeding, though she wasn't entirely certain what Nerius was bringing as well... That wasn't the point, the point was magic. Would it hit him like a brick wall again? Jack chewed on the inside of her cheek as she walked toward the Breeding Center and then stepped inside to do her portion of the paperwork. It only made sense to get this part done and then she could wait and see what happened. Honestly she must be a beacon of sorts to people with a strange way of sensing magic, considering she had seven nodes at this point, far more than anyone else she had heard of. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as she thought it might...

This may not have been one of his better ideas. Not the orbaru themselves, breeding the little critters was harmless enough, the potential issue was who was bringing the second 'bu. Or rather, what she was likely to bring in addition to the orbaru. Jack seemed like a perfectly nice woman, but his last encounter with her and her six nodes had resulted in him being passed out in the snow. There was no guarantee she'd be bringing them of course, but it was hard for him to imagine someone leaving their nodes alone unattended.
Nerius was still about a block away from the breeding center when he realized that Jack had already arrived, and yes, had brought her nodes. The orbaru he'd brought was oblivious to all this, and booped curiously from the carrier she was in. It wasn't as bad as last time, with his slower approach, but he could feel the pressure building in his head by the time he entered the building. It was easy enough to find her, just follow the beacon of magic, and he waved awkwardly.

This prooobably wasn't the best idea, but she had done it nonetheless. Maybe she should get something to lessen the effects of the nodes, that might work right? She chewed on her lip, Tesla still in her arms as she filled out paperwork and then waited for the other person to show up with his Orbaru as well. He was bringing the female, obviously, and she couldn't wait to see what he was bringing. Sighing a little, she pushed a hand through her hair and then saw him enter into the Breeding Center, already looking a little... peaked. Wincing, she waved, it probably didn't help that she had one more node than last time they had met...
"Hey there, how've you been?" she asked, moving over to him slowly so as to help acclimate him to the sensation a little easily. There wasn't much she could do to help, except to, really, have left them at home, but that was something she couldn't do.

His people skills may not have been the best, but Nerius didn't miss the little wince. Was it already that obvious that the intensity of the magic was bothering him? Seeing Jack was heading over to him, Viper's carrier down on a nearby table, it looked like she already had the paperwork started, but he'd need to fill out some information on his before the would be assigned a room. Though he was gentle when he set down the carrier, it still resulted in a lot of booping from within.
"Well enough," he answered, it was always hard for him to tell in human culture if they were simply asking as a greeting, or genuinely wanted an answer. He really had been fine though, so it didn't really matter this time, though he supposed he'd best ask in return, "How about you?" Nerius was rather awkward at socializing, and it probably showed, though as usual he did his best to hide it behind politeness.

The woman chuckled for a moment as the carrier booped, and then she nodded, Tesla in her arms, though the Orbaru strained to be let go to go investigate. He wasn't successful, of course, but he still tried as hard as he could. "That's good! I've been alright too I suppose, busy though," she told him, tilting her head. She wasn't sure what to talk about with him, there had to be something... There was a hint of something coming from him, however, something familiar. She had long since learned how to tune out her own nodes, did that mean he had one? Maybe she should ask, but that seemed to be a rather personal question at the moment, they didn't know each other all that well, at least not yet. The woman looked down at her feet and shifted from side to side before finally looking up and saying, "Oh! This is Tesla, who did you bring?"

Now wasn't that a familiar feeling. "There's never a shortage of things to do here, it seems," he agreed, 'busy' had been his default state since arriving at the Labs. Well, other than during his illness, but that hadn't been by choice.
There was a bit of a silence that followed, not an awkward one per say, but Nerius did feel a little awkward. Though, that may have been his usual feeling for this sort of casual conversation. Then again, given the woman's shifting, he may have not been the only one feeling that way.
Jack at least had a way of dragging the conversation out of awkwardsville, by mentioning the orbaru. "He has pretty markings," Nerius had never seen orbaru with dramatic lightning bolts like that. "Ah, this is Viper," he introduced the orbaru. She didn't react in the slightest to her name, but had noticed the other orbaru. She hopped up to the side of her carrier, trying for a better look, her large green eye taking up the entirety of one of the air holes.

"Always something to do," she agreed, glancing down at Tesla as she spoke. She smiled a little, unsure of where to go from here, should she mention the fact that he felt a little like he had a node? Or should she let him offer that himself? Shaking her head, she decided to let Tesla do most of the talking and he booped right on queue.
"Thanks, he's the son of one of those Battle Orbaru the Contest Hall gives out with one of it's contests, though... I can't quite remember which one it is off the top of my head," the woman frowned a little and then laughed with a shrug. It didn't matter much, they always announced what they were giving at the beginning of the show, when people could work toward it. "What all have you been up to lately, though?" she asked, trying to keep the conversation going, if only a little.

Well, at least the orbaru were there to keep any silences from getting too long, or awkward, and Viper booped excitedly in response. She still didn't have the best view, but she could hear him, and the venom orbaru tried to climb up the inside of the carrier for a better view. It didn't work, and all that she managed to accomplish was to make the carrier wobble a little.
Nerius nodded in response, "I obtained one of my pachee from the Contest Hall, I suppose it's not surprising they offer orbaru too." He hadn't known that ahead of time, but it did make sense. "I've been with sarane a lot lately, with the tournament, and a new hatchling." With his softer figure, and fancier clothing, he hardly looked the sort to wrestle dragons, but that thought hadn't occurred to him. "I spend a lot of time in the mines or mansion, searching for crystals or other magical items. I study magical items as a job, actually." Perhaps not surprising, a lot of his time was spent on things involving magic.

Tesla booped a little and then jumped out of her arms, hovering for a moment before dropping to the ground with a thud. He whined for a moment and then shrugged and pawed at the carrier, wanting to meet the female with a smile on his face.
"Oh that sounds great!" Jack said with a smile as she listened to Nerius speak of magic. She wouldn't put forth that she was an Understudy unless he asked, she supposed, but for now she needed to gauge how everything was going at the moment, right? Giving a little shrug, she motioned toward the hallway, "Looks like they have a room for us, you ready to go?" Jack smiled brightly and touched the node pouch at her hip with a little smile on her face to make sure it was still there. She didn't distrust anyone in the area, just herself, she was worried it wasn't tied on correctly quite often.

Nerius had a moment of concern as the orbaru escaped Jack's arms, but those tiny wings produced more power than Nerius would have thought, and as far as he could tell, Tesla landed harmlessly. Viper, well, probably would have leapt out of someone's arms without considering a hard landing at all, and was only excited by the male dropping in. She booped excitedly, and pawed back at the carrier, interrupting the conversation making it wobble enough that Nerius had to quickly put a hand on top to keep it from falling over.
"I am, yes," Nerius was happy to hear a room was ready, given the rather excited orbaru, "It looks like they're getting impatient." Viper's excitement didn't make it any easier for him to pick up the carrier, though at least she quit trying to climb all over the place once the carrier started moving. "After you," she seemed to know where they were going, perhaps due to filling out the paperwork ahead of him.

Tesla looked over at the woman as she started to move with a chuckle at Nerius' words. She did indeed know where to go, she'd been here far too many times to count it seemed, and she smiled as she walked down the hallway, only checking behind her a few times as she made sure everyone followed. Things would be fine, and she couldn't wait to see what kind of offspring Tesla and Viper would make, would they have markings like Tesla only in Viper's colors or something? Who knew, and that was what she enjoyed about breedings lately.
Jack opened the door when she reached it first and then gestured for the three of them to enter before her, "After you now, Nerius!" A laugh escaped her for a moment and then she tilted her head a little, wondering what was going to happen in the room. Things would be fine, she knew it.

Nerius followed after Jack, awkwardly holding the carrier. It was a bit bigger than it needed to be, he'd grabbed the wrong size by mistake, and Viper was getting excited again, and was moving around. Or trying to at least, her hops in the moving carrier might not have been very productive, but it was great for making it wobble all over the place.
The walk wasn't too far, at at least he didn't have to manage the door as well. "Thanks," he gratefully told Jack, still trying to keep from dropping the carrier and the booping orbaru. "She's not used to travel," he explained, stepping through the door. It wasn't the first reaction a newbie could have, but it wasn't ideal either. He set the carrier down once he was out of the way, and not blocking the door for Jack, but decided not to open the carrier until she'd shut the door, he wouldn't put it past the energetic orbaru to run off.

The woman settled Tesla down in the room after she stepped inside and surveyed it. It was a typical Orbaru room with plenty of toys for them to play with. Tesla went right to the ball pit and dove in, fluttering his little wings for the moment. She smiled at that and then sat down on a nearby chair, wondering what to do for the moment. Her hand absently went to her node pouch and she rubbed the little marbles inside for good luck. While she didn't know what was going to happen, she was pretty sure they would get some good babies from the pair, which she was excited for, definitely.
"Any idea what you'd like from them?" Jack finally asked, tilting her head a little with a smile on her face. There wasn't much she was worried about when it came to them, there wasn't much she hoped for either, it had been Nerius' idea to breed them, but she was certainly excited to see what they would get!

Once the door was shut, Nerius opened the carrier, Viper stared at him, surprised at the sudden appearance, before scampering out of the carrier like a rocket. After going a few feet, she skidded to a stop, looking around; where had the other orbaru gone? Nerius had seen Tesla dive for the ball pit, but she couldn't exactly ask him. She was able to boop loudly though, maybe the sound would draw the other 'bu's attention?
Nerius moved the carrier out of the way, then sat down in the other chair. "I'd like one of his breed, it's one of the more interesting variants." And not one he had, either, though his orbaru collection was rather limited. "Purple or green lightning bolts would look nice as well, I think." He added after a moment. The blue looked nice as well, but he expected some of Viper's colors would probably mix in and show up somewhere.
