(April 20th)

So....that was a bust. Some people are coming back after going home while others are waking from their dreams. Night is falling, so you better catch up with the vagabonds that stayed behind and get all who's come back together once again. There's plenty of shelter around, so just pick a building. Have a reunion.

[its That.]

[ and she's not all too excited about it. mostly tired, but also kind of grim as she looks up at him]

Everything.

[cabineyes]

[ ... ]

Took you long enough.

[ there goes his fresh start. or well it was ruined already. ]

[recurred]

[tired laughs and rubs at her face]

Really. That's all you have to say?

[cabineyes]

Hasn't there been enough of talking for one day?

I've got no explanation for you, lass. Think of it as you will.

[ it's all in the past. he's looking into the future now. the new me. ]

[recurred]

[watches him]

You think I'm going to hold it over you. I know you've changed, Hook, so stop acting like I'm about to rub your nose in it.

[cabineyes]

[ well you sure sounded like it for a second. ]

Maybe I have.

[ c-could it be. you really think so?. ]

[recurred]

Maybe you really haven't. [tired shrugs] But isn't that the risk I've always taken with you?

[cabineyes]

No one's forcing you.

[ you do this to yourself. ]

[ crosses his legs gayly and leans back. ]

[recurred]

[shrugs]

I want to.

[cabineyes]

After everything? Now that you remember I wouldn't blame you if you didn't.

[ boy you're really asking for it. ]

I must have said this before, but your faith in people is truly heart-warming.

[recurred]

And you always make sure never to be too clear with what you really want.

[its annoying. pulls herself up]

[cabineyes]

Perhaps I haven't figured it out myself.

[ pauses. ]

I thought I had, but maybe I was wrong.

[ all this time. he has started to realize it now. ]

[recurred]

[stops to look back at him. ur not talking about them anymore are you]

What are you gonna do, then?

[cabineyes]

Me? I'm going to return to Neverland to finish what I started. They need me.

[ after that who knows. somewhere deep inside of the less-rotten part of his soul he probably feels really good about being needed by someone. who would have thought. ]

[recurred]

[knocks at the good boot with her toe]

Look at you, taking responsibility. Helping people. When did that happen?

[cabineyes]

[ stay away from the boots. that previous knocking still hurts. ]

While I was away, of course. This hostile environment never allowed me to shine.

[recurred]

You could have tried harder.

[dont blame everything on dean.]

[cabineyes]

[ who said anything about dean. ]

Very amusing.

[recurred]

[he was a hostile hook environment and everyone knew and supported it]

Think this new, good Killian Jones is here to stay?

[cabineyes]

That, my lass, remains to be seen.

[ he'll try hard at least. (maybe for a week) ]
