New York air wasn't clean enough we could see the stars very clearly before the invasion, but- after- [He waggles a hand, trying to give himself a moment to find the words. He internalized it as his normal for so long, its strange to bring back up.] The skies turned red, and you couldn't see the sun or moon. It became hard to tell when it was night or day sometimes.
I heard worse happened in other places. Sunk islands, fires that wouldn't go out, really wasn't great.
I had a whole plan on how to clean things up enough we could live on earth again, but, y'know, never happened.
[Yeah, he'd heard the story, or enough of it to get a picture. A world turned to dust, empty of all life except the aliens and their playthings. He can't imagine why it would be desirable, why that would be a victory condition for any sentient being. Then again, evil is not a thing he inherently understands, so he likely never will get it. He has no desire to think deeply on the wishes of monsters.]
Maybe those thoughts can be carried through somehow to the new world you'll call home. Improving the status of any world is a worthy cause.
Eh, they won't need an old war horse spouting anything at them in that version of New York. [He offers back with a shrug.]
Casey has big ideas about living in a cabin in the woods. I'm hopeful, but... I wouldn't be surprised if I end up back underground again. [He doesn't doubt Casey's plans, but Leonardo knows people. He understands he won't be accepted by humans all too easily. He takes it casually, relaxed still as he blows a petal out of his eyes.]
Casey and Hunter are human enough to get the perks, y'know?
