"Yeah, that makes sense."

"Bye! I'll let you know how it goes!"

And he's off.

And then a few days later, he finds Cam again.

"So! I've been talking to dad and Pervy Sage and the Nine Tails, and I think I wanna try letting the Nine Tails out somewhere less inhabited?"

"Like the moon? - This isn't gonna kill you or anything, right?"

"Probably won't? I mean I can't breathe on the moon I don't think, though the Nine Tails doesn't think he'll care about atmosphere. Him leaving my body entirely would kill me, but we should be able to mess with just the seal and who's where safely."

"I can fix the air part. Although I should make a dome if the fox might do anything startling enough to interrupt the air generation."

"It'd have to be pretty big - the fox could get taller than some mountains, though I think he can kind of pick his size?"

"I can make it big, although maybe I should just be making you a spacesuit if it's going to be that big."

"Oh yeah, something just for me's probably better... It'd have to be something that doesn't catch on fire if heated up some though..."

"How much is some?"

"Dunno the exact temperature. Enough to boil water and make paper but not dry cotton ignite?"

"Goodness. I don't think spacesuits are generally rated for that but I can see if any of them are made of materials likely to cope with being an oven. This doesn't hurt you or anything?"

"It's really uncomfortable at the higher ends? I haven't gotten far enough it started burning me though."

"Are you just going to... stay like that... or is it a short burst thing?"

"Dunno! We haven't tried this before. Might not even happen if he's not trying to channel his chakra directly through me?"

"- look, can he go through material objects?"

"He can when he's not fully solidified? It's more of a 'picking where to manifest' thing though."

"Like, if he's going to be sticking out of you, then he'll either interfere with a suit or he won't, and if he won't, then he won't interfere with a small dome, right?"

"I think probably he has to manifest near me or touching me, but 'me' can count as 'something I'm wearing'? But again haven't really tried... Still, if I die he'll be dispersed for a really long time, so I can warn him not to try startling stuff?"

"Maybe that and also I can put some solid air near you and that'll keep sublimating if you're super hot and cover for me if I lapse for a second."

"Alright! So how're we getting to the moon?"

"The shuttle'll get us there. Do you think a clone can be that far away without problems or do I have to pare down?"

"Huh, don't know that... I've never noticed a range limit but haven't been off this continent."

"Maybe I should test that solo first. I could come find you if I sent a clone up and then you were stranded when you were a hundred thousand miles away but it would certainly be inconvenient all around."

"Okay yeah. That makes sense."
