He was really hungry, and he said I smelled really stressed out. But really, considering the circumstances, I think it was totally valid.

[thinks for a moment before continuing]

I mean, getting really bad vibes from the Pillar, and then finding out your brother's gone off with the Foreman is valid reason to be upset.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Your brother?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... twin brother. Ichiru. He was on Ophiuchus.

I guess I forgot to mention him.

Zero doesn't talk about himself much.

I'm sorry. Even if it's not a bad place . . . it's hard when people can't stay here.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

I don't want you to be hearing all of my problems, that would be too much.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

For me . . . hearing things is always better than not hearing anything at all. Even if it's just to listen.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Well, maybe next time.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

I think . . . Zero would need more than to be relaxed, for something like that.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

...? If you say so...


How's Pavo doing?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Amethyst came back two days ago, when Even joined us. But Sunny didn't come back from hunting that night.

I can still feel him, sometimes. But he's far away.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll be back soon, especially if you can sense him.

And yourself?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

. . . Carly won. It's good, but . . . it's a little sad, when I remember I won't see her again.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... what about when you win?

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

She wanted to stay with Mr. Kirk, and Orion.

Our home isn't hers anymore.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Oh.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

And Mr. Kirk's time . . . it's a long time after ours.

So it really was goodbye.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... that must be really hard.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

A little. But . . . she's happy now.

It was a good wish.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Well, what would you wish for? If you know...

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ah, that . . .

. . . I don't know.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

That's okay.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Do you know? What you want to wish for.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

... maybe. I have an idea.

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What is it?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[looks like he's mentally debating something.]

Probably... to be human again.
