My, that went well! Happy breakfast montage and all of that. Birds and bees and rainbows, everything is nice, but then the pirate showed up. Nobody died, at least! Good job, guys.

Continue the great work and walk around the FARMS if you want. It's nice and you don't have the fog babies on your asses. Enjoy the sunset. You can take some time to talk about where you're going next too.

[ mission: keep being nice you dicks. ]

[ and the girls. ]

Nothing new. It's always like this.

[recurred]

[watches him for a moment]

I get that. Scruffy little troublemaker. Must be par course for a pirate.

[sips tea]

Except you seem to care a bit more than one should.

[cabineyes]

Pirates have hearts of gold. Didn't you know?

[ except mine's just full of shit. ]

[recurred]

I thought that was hookers.

[cabineyes]

Goes for both.

[ we're the same. ]

[recurred]

[well]

Fair enough..

[cabineyes]

I do care about a lot of people.

[ wipes his nose. ]

Even if they don't always feel the same.

[recurred]

[comes up with a tissue for him]

I know.

[really doesn't but it just came out like that]

[cabineyes]

[ you know nothing clara snow. ]

[ thank. ]

You'll find out.

[recurred]

[raises eyebrow at him]

[that was subtle, she'll give him credit]

Is that so?

[cabineyes]

[ i can be subtle when i want to. ]

It depends.

Have you talked to everyone yet?

[recurred]

About you?

Don't think you're so special.

[cabineyes]

No, that's not what I meant.

[ pls. ]

They must have missed you.

[recurred]

[expression dies off a little]

[looks away with a nod and goes back to her mug]

Yeah, I sure feel welcome.

[that was sarcasm. so dry her voice cracks]

[really it's been insanely lonely. never thought she could feel so alone in a group of people before it's like she's in a thick box of shatterproof glass]

[cabineyes]

...

[ oh wow. ]

[ that bad huh? ]

[ he missed most of this clara dissing. ]

[ didn't mean to trigger you. ]

[recurred]

They look at me and they see someone who shouldn't be there.

[yeah you didnt have to do much to dig this all up. she's had a rough day]

I look at them, at you. I see people I want to care about but I don't know why or where.

[cabineyes]

[ can guess who she's mainly talking about. not difficult to figure it out. ]

Give it some time.

I suppose most of us are still in disbelief over what happened. We thought we'd never see you again.

[cabineyes]

... See her again.

[ welp didn't mean to put it like that. ]

[recurred]

[eyes him]

I know, and I know that I'm not her. But it doesn't always feel that way and I think that's what makes this worse.
