Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

...yeah. I'm sorry I didn't do more of that in the first place.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

I'll always be around to listen next time too, you know. You aren't nearly scary enough to chase me away.

[ making a face again ]

I hope not, 'cause I meant it about needing you. But it's also...

[ there are things you can simply get away with saying to cinth that you cannot to snow, and "i was too weak but i won't be now" is one of them ]

...I'm here to listen to you too, you know? Whatever you're dealing with. Don't think I've been too reliable on that front, but I'm working on it.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

Hmmm...

[THINKINGFACE.]

I guess there was something that bothered me a little recently...

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

[ whoa instant success ]

There was?

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

Mmhm.

You and Cinth snuck out the other day, didn't you? What happened?

[Look. You knew this was coming.]

[audacity]

[ HE ACTUALLY FORGOT

his expression journey very "we what?" and then "oh yeah that" ]

Oh. We just talked out in the hallway a little bit. Nothing huge.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

Go on.

[Continues staring, expectant.]

[audacity]

We...

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

...also hugged?

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

You don't want to talk about it, huh...

[And right after they JUST discussed this.]

...Well, I guess that's alright.

1/3

[audacity]

[ Oh No ]

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

[ that

does not seem alright ]

3/4

[audacity]

I mean. We just talked about some of the stuff going on lately. And like...

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

Uh, good news, I found out that nothing's really keeping us on the boat? Besides, you know. Being on the open sea. But nothing too spooky.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

...

Is that good news?

[He is picking up on how ominous it is Aster did not bring it up on his own.]

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

[ it could be good news

sighs after a moment ]

Okay, okay, just...don't freak out.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

I won't, I won't.

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

I jumped off the ship yesterday. Earlier, before I talked to Cinth.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

[Look at him doing so good at not freaking out, even if he obviously tenses.]

...And what happened?

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

I landed in the water.

[ see? it's fine. ]

Had someone around to fish me out. So, I don't recommend it, but like...there's no Blessing or anything keeping us onboard. As far as I can tell, anyway.

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

[Just going to wait and see if Aster wants to explain any more than that on his own.]

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

[ nope! ]

Re: day 217ish

[bondsofsuffering]

...

When I don't know what's going on, I just worry more imagining things, you know.

Re: day 217ish

[audacity]

[ HE REALLY DOUBTS THAT IN THIS CASE ]

I mean, it was...a really stupid idea, I know. I won't be trying it again. But I wanted to be see just how stuck we really are. If there were some easy way out, and we'd just been waiting around, getting tortured in performances...it was making me crazy to think about.
