PIRATE TEAM, ASSEMBLE /conch

[redmarksthespot]

[This is the five of you all getting the same terse phone call:] Come to the house. We have to talk.

[... after which the nice captain hangs up before you can object and sits and waits. :|]

[Where are all of you tiny people coming from]

Hey.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[squeezing, resting my cheek against your back]

Hi, Joe.

[blueondeck]

What's wrong?

[noteasybeinggreen]

It's just nice to see you.

[to see you here]

[blueondeck]

Marvelous called, so I came.

[noteasybeinggreen]

I'm glad.

[and I am very glad that your homo with captain was strong enough to bring you here when nothing else would]

[blueondeck]

[It's more I didn't want to deal with him being mad I didn't come really]

[noteasybeinggreen]

[fine that works too]

[just stay]

[stay]

[stayyyyyy]

Your room is how you left it. Only, um, cleaner.

[blueondeck]

I'm not using it for now. I'll sleep with Marvelous tonight and leave in the morning for training.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[...shoulders slump, just a little, but...]

He'd like that.

[blueondeck]

Later... maybe.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[then I will snuggle you more now]

[blueondeck]

Hakase.

[noteasybeinggreen]

What?

[blueondeck]

Next time you have to fight.

[noteasybeinggreen]

N-Next time?

[blueondeck]

Next time that happens, fight.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[I don't hate you at all for what happened]

[but I hate you a little, right now, for being so grim and matter of fact]

I did.

Not -- not very hard, but I did.

[blueondeck]

Keep it in mind. One time you might be the only one left. You'll be needed to fight harder.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[...I probably could've escaped you if I'd been more experienced and moved faster, but I'm completely screwed if all five of you go down under this]

[completely]

[screwed]

[sighs into the back of your shirt] I'll train harder.

[blueondeck]

Thank you.

[noteasybeinggreen]

Whatever you want.

[blueondeck]

I mean for trying before.

[noteasybeinggreen]

...oh.

I hated doing that. But you knew that already.


[I didn't hate you for it. But I hated having to raise my weapons to you even in self-defence.]

[blueondeck]

I did, but it wont be the last.
