*I am Mewtwo, Mother is the Firstborn, known as Mew, and I am of her but different.* His expression softened into a small smile, which is genuine if awkward. *I made this lake my home, and the Pokemon guard it in my stead. The dangers presented are enough to deter most, but I am pleased to have you here. Are you hungry? We have much to discuss.* He released the clipping and it settled onto one of the shelves in this little room of its own accord.
"Hey, if we're family, is there any chance we could impose a bit?" Stag asked suddenly. "Hmmm?" "There's quite a few of us half-Pokemon now, and we don't really have a place to go. Some of us already know what it's like to be used, first as Pokemon then as humans, and it'd be nice to have a place to call our own."

With Mewtwo's changing of the subject, Terra does listen to him with a less intense gaze. A hint of curiosity showing as he explained how he was made from Mew as well. The mention of food and there was a boost in attentiveness as she sat up straight.
With the bringing up of allowing the others to come live here, she would nod along with Stag's request. "That was one of the reasons we were here. Kind of," Terra states. Not their original plan, but the other's request made sense as well.

*Drawing my family together into a village, somewhere safe. To have... Peers, even if none can truly be equal.* A three fingered hand pushed against the Pokemon's bald pate and it closed its eyes before gliding out of the room. *It could be less lonely. You don't look at me as a monster, or a thing to be owned.*
Stag held her piece for the moment but followed, a table that seemed to grow from the floor dominated the next room, set with a variety of fruits.

She let the silence stay while Mewtwo considered the question. Not really having a response to his musings. Once he had left the room, she glances around for the hammer. Placing the head against the floor Terra pulls herself up to her feet.
Before Stag could follow after their host, she'd feel the other's hand take a firm hold on her upper arm. Terra just wanted to be sure she at least wouldn't stumble on her first steps. There is an impressed look at the table coming from the floor. With maybe just a hint of disappointment with only fruits as a selection, but food was food. Eyes scanning along the different choices. "This, is quite a lot." She observes without much thought to it.

Stag seemed sheepish at the contact at first, as though she had forgotten Terra's leg in light of everything else that day. Dull thump of the hammer along, with Stag on the other side helped mobility not be so troublesome.
*My apologies if it is too much, fruit spoils quickly and I do not have company often.*. There was awkwardness in its tone, as though gauging social structure for the first time.
"We're going to have to get you to a center for that leg, but getting down the cliffs with it is going to suck.". Stag comments.

Between the hammer and Stag, Terra handled herself with as much confidence as she can.
"Its just, surprising," Terra replies to Mewtwo. There was a lot that she hadn't seen before. So she took a moment to choose a couple small pieces to taste test.
The mention of climbing back down did produce a small frown while Terra chewed on one of her choices, finding the sour taste enjoyable. "Yeah... Its not going to be a fun climb down," she agrees with a sigh, leaning more against the hammer to free up Stag's arm enough to pick some food for herself.

Terra recognized all the usual suspects, but the fruit with fur and another that looked like it was covered in bark. Flavors ranging from toothachingly sweet to face puckeringly sour with bitters in between. At the mention of a center, Mewtwo began to laugh in a deep, rich tone, the first vocalization he had made in their time together.
*Apologies, the entire reason I came to this lake was its healing waters.*. His tone was bemused. *The Pokemon defended it before I came, and still do with my presence. A soak in the water for a time and your leg will be as good as new.*
Stag slowed her chewing on one of the furry fruits with their green innards. "You going to be okay for that? I know you don't really care for water..."

For the soft fruits, the sour and bitter tastes were more appealing. She stopped midbite into the second piece she had once the other's laugh reached her ears. It was a new sound compared to the voice that she was 'used to' in her head.
Terra watched Mewtwo with an attentive curiosity as he explained that the water could fix her. Focus on him, slightly wary about the truth in his statement. Though he had no reason to lie to them about such a thing. Swallowing the mouthful of fruit. Of course it was the water, her chest puffs up to let out a drawn out sigh.
"Its certainly not my favorite thing," she admits but gives a slow shrug. "If it'll fix my leg, I guess I'm willing to try it," she adds, fighting the urge to grimace. The idea is not a thrilling scenario.

Mewtwo seemed to sense some underlying apprehension about water, and broached the point slowly. *When you are prepared, the room to the left is the 'Bath-room', it has a shallow space for soaking.*. A pause holds while Stag continues to eat her fill and the artificial creature seems lost in thought.
*What is it like, being seen as one of them, walking among them but seeing the world through different eyes? Not being completely alien?*

With the knowledge of it being a shallow space as well as more enclosed rather than open space had her shoulders relax slightly. Still not thrilled, but put just a little more at ease with knowing what to expect now.
His question has her pause after a bite, considering the fruit in her hand. "At first, it felt, wrong? I hated being one of them." Terra mused aloud slowly, there's some thought heard in the tone. "It's been strange," she admits. "Lots of things they do is still weird to me." There's another measurable length of silence, glancing from her food up momentarily between Stag and Mewtwo. "And... Asides from the ones that were behind doing this to us, most of the humans have been nice," she comments while turning the fruit in her hand absently.

*Your mind grew faster than your knowledge did, and it left you feeling wrong and unfulfilled.* There were notes of sympathy in its tone, expression distant. *Exemplary humans become cornerstones for good or ill... those that disrupt making the largest waves and drawing the most attention.* The experiment tosses its head and gently floats free of the ground. *Please excuse me, I need some air. Help yourself to anything you need, and stay as long as you like.*
A pause to see if Terra or Stag has anything further to say, before Mewtwo departs down a wide, smooth arched hallway out into the forest.

Listening to Mewtwo's words she doesn't really know what to make of it, but she does give a nod in response to the excusing itself. Terra's eyes watch as it takes leave.
A slow breath leaving her as a sigh, unknowing that she had been holding it in. The girl finishes the fruit in her hand, before making her way over to on of the windows carefully. Feet moving with thought so that she wouldn't put too much weight on the bad knee. She leans against the wall while looking outside. Quiet for a while before commenting "That was sort of... uncomfortable," she finally chooses a word, referring to having to think about how things had been since the change.

"Yeah.". Stag agreed quietly. "I get it though, he? Is up here all by himself and doesn't have anyone to talk to about it. It would drive anyone from back home feral." The large girl finished the last of her fruit and stood. "You want to see about getting that soak out of the way?"

"I guess so..." she replies in a trailed off manner in response about Mewtwo being up here alone, asides from the wild pokemon in the area. With Stag's question, Terra turns her body away from the window. There was still a small hint of reluctance in her face while she answers. "Yeah... probably best to get this done soon instead of later," she replies nodding, using the hammer to make her way over to the other.

The soaking room is easy enough to find, though it is immediately clear Mewtwo doesn't often have guests; though the pool with its view of the lake has a shallow slatted bowl submerged in the water, neither stairs nor ladder exist to exit it.
"You uh... You want me to stay up here so I can haul you out when you've had enough?" Stag eyes the water with a mixed expression. A little water wasn't a bad thing, but that was a lot more than she would have wanted to deal with either. She wasn't a skater.

There's a grimace that comes to her face at the sight of the lack of stairs and ladders. A look given over the surface of the water and out, taking in what all could be observed.
"That sounds like... probably a good idea," Terra admits with a slow nod. It takes a little bit to get herself mentally prepared. Stepping to the edge, she eases down to sit on it. A slow breath in, then carefully lifting herself up with her arms she slips into the water. A chill running up her spine as she does so.

The water seeped into everything, and the bowl like contours slid Terra easily along the floor of the pool towards deeper water until Stag hefted her back up by her underarms. "Got an idea..."
A moment or two later, Stag had her legs wrapped around Terra's chest, keeping the other girl mostly elevated above the water. "How does it feel, besides wet?"

Terra's face shifted some in it's expression as the sensation of the water processed. Though the slipping down further had her good leg trying to get some sort of purchase to prevent herself from going too deep. A small grunt escaping at being lifted up some. Head leaning backwards to gaze upwards giving Stag a questioning look. There's a period of silence as her brain went through recognizing what was happening. "I... It's...ah. it's fine." She decides on, finally completing a sentence. Arms moving to rest against the legs supporting her body. Eyes focusing on the water in front of her for a bit.

"Better you than me." Stag offered a small, slightly smug smile and got comfortable. "Maybe move it a little bit now and then, when the pain stops we haul you out and find you a towel or something? Pinsir breathe through their skin, so I hated water something bad. Worse if you fly, wet wings don't have the same snap I guess, and you just roll around in it." She shuddered and rested a large hand on Terra's shoulder, just letting the quiet lap of the water take over as she considered the far shore.

Terra listened to Stag explain her hatred of water, a slow sound of understanding came from her. Occasionally slowly shifting the injured leg underneath the water. "I can get that. I would sink like a rock in something deep like this," she comments.
She lets them slip back into a silence for a while longer before speaking up again. "So, the plan when we get back down there, is to tell your hive about the other area up here yeah?" Terra asks looking up to the other. Knee working slowly into more bending. Careful movements to test the healing waters.
