Moving On

<ooc. Sorry for skipping back a moment. I delayed posting this for too long>

"Well, see you guys! It's been great!  I'll give your love to Weebaradlibanongadingdong."
Even despite his shock Phil gave a quiet little noise of appreciation at the silly name.

And with a big happy grin, and a four-armed wave, Efof was gone.

Jamie wasn't watching Efof leave.  He was sat in the shuttle, facing a window.  Outside, he could see nothing but Jungle, but to him, his house was stood there proudly on the hill.

The house and home that he had lived in for ten years.  It was almost enough to make him cry.  Leaving the Jungle, getting back to what he had been searching for all this time, and it was finally happening.

Efof had waved, and the shuttle had powered up.

"STOP!" he called, and darted towards the door.

"What's up with him?" Jade asked, seeing a look that could only be described as Horror on his face.

Jamie ran outside, and stopped Efof as he began to walk away.

"Efof, hold on.  I've got something for you." Jamie said.

"But we only just met." Efof replied, not expecting to receive anything like a gift from someone he had only just met.

"So? You only just met Weebaradlibanongadingdong." He replied, pronouncing it perfectly that meant even Phil couldn't snigger at it.  Little did he know that everyone was watching, wondering what had posessed Jamie to run out of the ship so quickly.

"Efof.  I want you to have my house." Jamie said.  "It's well built - because I made it, and it would please me to know that it was being looked after."

"... I was going to live there anyway." Efof admitted, with a wide smile.

"Oh, well fine.  Forget I said anything!" Jamie said, ready to storm off.

"Hey, I was joking!" Efof admitted, all 4 arms stopping Jamie from storming off.

"What?  Oh." 10 years of virtually no social contact with humanity had ruined his sense of humour, he could only accept what Efof had said as truth.

"Thankyou.  I'll look after it."

And with that, Jamie returned to the shuttle to set off to his new home.

"That was very good of you." Seymour said.  "Under other circumstances, I could have lived there too."

"It was the only thing I could do.  I've lived here for years..." He said.  He was still staring out of the window as the ship entered low orbit.

"[Farewell, my Jungle Paradise.]" He said in Ssalan.
