The stars look very different today

Arthur has been spending as much time as he can on the Watchtower, which, is not really all that much. Re-arranging things in his kingdom and moving forward in his life, are things that seem to take up time and certainly take up time before being a hero. He does miss it, though, the adventure, the camraderie.

The food up here has something to say for it as well. In Atlantis, almost nothing crunches unless it involves bones.

Sitting in the mess, he's looking out over all of that blue, finishing off what must be his third glass of water.

"Heh." Superman sits down, smirking a little. "Don't let Bruce know I said this, but sometimes thinking's overrated." Clark eases into his habitual half-grin, his worry eased just by being around his old friend once more.

"I can understand." Superman continues, looking a little uncomfortable bringing this up. "After Doomsday, well..."

Arthur nods, "I can understand that." He takes a drink from the glass of water again. "Thinking isn't overrated. Brooding certainly is."

"So no luck, then?" Superman gets closer to the point, if only because Arthur isn't leaving him with a ton of subtler options.

"Mmmm? With what?"

Arthur hasn't entirely broguht himself back into the thought patterns of the now, having allowed himself to drift off into flights, or perhaps swims of fancy.

Superman shrugs, a little. "Getting your life back on track, I guess. Finding out where you were for a year-and why you can't remember it. That sort of thing."

"Ah. My appologies. I've...."

Arthur shakes his head and smiles at his friend, "I've been able to determine that the Lady of the Lake grabbed me for her own purposes but..." The blonde monarch shrugs, "She isn't interested in sharing what for, other than she thought it best for everyone."

"Are they ever?" Superman sighs, rubbing the back of his head and giving Aquaman a hearty pat on the shoulder. "Well, if she won't tell you, there's probably some kind of reason. All you can do is be ready for it to come up again. And you will be, Arthur-I believe in you."

Superman's eyes narrow, then, as peril appears before his super-vision! "Great Scott, do you see that Aquaman?! Interstellar Whalers...chasing a baby Sun Eater!" Indeed, if Arthur has a way of looking out right around Venus, he'll be able to see and sense the terrified form of a baby Sun Eater, desperately running from three star sloops, their solar sails painted with a familiar symbol...

The sign...of the Scavenger!

If Arthur had such an ability, he would currently share Superman's level of unrest. As it is, it is meerly slight levels of annoyance for the time being at the mention of it.

"Well, we must do something about it." Arthur stands, "Let me get my suit." Since there is no water in space, it seems best that he get the space suit designed for him so he doesn't risk dehydration so greatly.

"Right, I'll prep a ship. You fight better in the pressure of space than I do, Aquaman-I want you to take the lead on seizing those Star Sloops!"

That said, Superman rushes off-to put his space pants on!

"I'll meet you there!"

Arthur dashes to get into the specially made suit and the to the hangar bay where Superman will be waiting for him soon enough.
