"If you're sure?" he replied with a dubious tone, nodding once. "I have to go on patrol as soon as we arrive on Venus. It's for the best, anyways. I took the rotation around the academy so a group of us can clear it out before I take you there. I should ask where you'd like to land, actually," Declan mused as they made their way back up to the main deck.
"There's a few different places around the academy, but I want to land on a spot you'll enjoy looking out at while we're camped. So there's the The Cinders, The Endless Steps, and the Ishtar Cliffs. The Cinders are big steel gray rock formations and black-wood trees, and sulfur pools of gold and blue and green that look like gemstones scattered in the dark ground," he made a sprinkling motion with one hand.
"The Endless Steps are white stone monoliths and Vex ruins reaching out of a vast jungle, and the Ishtar Cliffs, on the Shattered Coast, are just outside the academy and look out across the sea at the volcanoes. They have blue flames," he added the last with a look, knowing Earth volcanoes weren't gaseous.
"We can visit every spot, of course, that's not an issue. But we shouldn't constantly relocate. It may disrupt the wildlife. Or draw unwanted attention," he pointed out, waving lightly to Ren and Ghost before floating over.
"Would you be alright with me holding you while we turn gravity back on?" he asked, holding his big hand out for the Allmate, his other hand gripping one of the ship frame beams as Ghost drifted over to the controls. Whether Aoba or Declan held the dog, a moment later the gravity was back on, their collective bodies all weighing down again. That was the strangest sensation of all, to the Titan. Being forced to recognize the great bulk of himself.
