No time like the present, indeed.
Encke was minutely amused that at some point, the obvious way to cheer him up had become space. Skoll had invited him to her homeworld, too, and he had easily agreed to go. He still had gone to his homeworld fairly regularly despite his mental state, even if he just laid in the king's bed and stared at the canopy above. Pendour had offered, and while Basiluzzo still refused to take him up there--something about how it wasn't ready yet--he had mentioned a few things about it.
And now there they were, standing in the dirt need these main structures, Nectaris excited to show it off, and Encke, albeit subdued, following with some of the candy that she had given him in hand.
He liked the crunchy cookie ones, especially.
"It is pretty cool! I wonder what was grown here?" Besides for the obvious concept of
plants, he supposed. He assumed from what he knew of geology and biology the makeup of the plants would probably be relatively similar to Earth, especially since the prevailing knowledge of the moon said it came from a collision of some sort with Earth, and The Moon was just a piece of the Earth's lava primordial state.
Similar chemistry likely meant similar soil, which likely meant it would be easy to get these greenhouses back started if she wanted--
"I mean, I don't think everyone takes years and years to find that connection, right?" He had, but his situation was more complicated. When he had first powered up, he spent a lot of his day-to-day walking through hallucinations. As time went on, it was negotiating with his nightmares and his desire for normalcy. In the middle of that, he found time to go to his homeworld and attempt to fix it and bond with it.
It was one of the few things that felt like his own throughout all of it.
"You mostly just need to find what part of your homeworld sings to you, I think, and get in sync with that. I've heard a lot of stories of how people transcend by this point. I think Keiko was just bonding with some of her world's creatures, for instance."
Did this wonder have any creatures?
