you can't spell "alone" without "leon" ([personal profile] discard) wrote in [community profile] estoria 2015-11-27 04:48 am (UTC)

[It is familiar enough--the only shred of familiarity in an otherwise entirely unfamiliar situation. The train is entirely alien to him (the inside just as much as the outside, but how's that any surprise?) and when the robotic voice warns them to hold on, Leon isn't sure they should listen, even--

Except when the train goes, he is definitely grabbing to the nearest pole or handhold because yeah okay it was right.

And, well... watching the colony fly by at a speed like this is fascinating, it really is, but it's not good either. While the train is smoother travel than by boat or by dragon flying ship, it still shakes and shifts with its movements along its track, and that combined with the moving scenario means that exactly what they expected to happen comes true.

The motion sickness creeps up slowly, as it always does, and Leon grits his teeth and shifts his gaze slightly so he's looking at the inside of the train instead of the outside whizzing by, but the damage has been done, really. He feels terrible, not that he'll ever admit something like that, and all he can do is try to take the subtlest slow, deep breath to try to settle his rebelling body to deal with it without alerting Stahn.

Hopefully this trip isn't long. Leon can handle dealing with it. But on top of everything else, it's just an additional thing serving to make him utterly miserable.]
