Across the universe

another lombax?

As the young lombax slowly began to wake up, he would notice that he was no longer in his ship. he carefully tried to sit up, but would feel a sharp pain in his side as he would wince in pain.  he finally got to sit up as he looked around at his surroundings, trying to figure out where he was. before he could do anything else, Ratchet entered the room and noticed he was awake. 

"oh, hey!" he smiles warmly as he walked over to the other lombax. "its good to see your finally awake. you had a pretty nasty crash out there." the other lombax looked up at him, his eyes wide as they almost lit up. "you... your a lombax" he spoke softly, a look of amazement on his face. ratchet sat down next to him, keeping a soft smile on his face. "yeah, i am" he spoke cheerfully. "i mean were pretty rare around here, but some of us are still around. whats your name?"

the young lombax thought for a second, then looked back up at Ratchet. "I-I'm Cayde" he said softly, not knowing what else to say. "That's a pretty neat name, Cayde." he held out his hand, waiting for Cayde to take it. Cayde slowly took his hand, shaking it slowly as he was still trying to process everything. Ratchet looked at him a bit concerned, placing a hand on  shoulder. "Your not from around here, are you?" Cayde quickly shook his, looking down at the floor. "I'm from the Vygon Galaxy." ratchet looked at him in disbelief, being shocked at how far he was from. 

"Vygon is light years from Solana!" he had a shocking tone in his voice. "how long were you flying for?" Cayde looked up at him, a slight blush on his face. "Three years..." he said softly. "all without light speed or a warp drive." Ratchet looked away, still having a shocked and surprised look on his face. "But.. why though?" he looked at Cayde, now looking extremely concerned. "what were you looking for?" Cayde looked away for a second, tears slowly forming in his eyes. "The rest of our kind.." he spoke, trying to hold back his tears.

 Ratchet noticed he was trying to hold back tears, as he would quickly pull Cayde into a hug. "I know that feeling, buddy" he rubs Cayde's back softly for comfort. "I tried to do the same thing. but in a very dangerous way." Cayde look up at him as Ratchet would let go of him. "your clothes were ruined in the crash. "Ratchet carefully helps Cayde up off the bed. "come on, lets go get you some new ones." Cayde smiles softly, following ratchet out of the room as he helps him walk out.
