I know I'm not.

... They shouldn't have said anything like that to you, either.

[children of the sea. she likes that, actually, she likes it a lot. there's an acceptance there that she wants. longs for it.

he pets, and she purrs quietly.]


I think I would've liked him, too. [she answers, voice a little raw.] He sounds like someone worth knowing.

[god.]

Yeah, of course he did. [that's not sarcastic or anything, it's just like - yeah, of course he'd do that for you. that's what you do for people you care about. you wage war for them, in both small and mighty ways.]

Ace, how did you... [she starts, and then. hesitates. she's not sure if she wants to know the answer to this question.]

[honestly he is saving her from nightmares here, so. that's fine.

a pause, and then:]
Okay.

[she doesn't really know what else to say to that. she'll just imagine it instead.]

I'm trying not to. It's like when you tell someone not to think about a pink elephant and that's the first thing you do.

[a little sniff. she's a cat, so it sounds kind of weird, but.] It's not like I haven't seen people die before. I have, a lot.

[it's different, she thinks, when it's someone she cares about.

she's quiet again, and then:]


Nico - Nico told me if I wanted to, I could go to his world. After all of this is over. If we don't fuck up. [...] But I thought about...

[she stops. she just stops there.]

I know. [she does know that.]

I wanted to. I wanted to do all the pirate stuff too.

[idk where we are but nimona is attached to ace for the next foreseeable future.

she's a little healed up, by this point. she's not bandaged or anything, but there's still blood everywhere, and purple sludge that never got wiped away. she has long claw marks dragged up her arms and legs, as well as her torso - and in the middle of her chest is that stab wound, where it almost went through her heart. otherwise, she's covered in burns. it doesn't look like fire necessarily did this - it looks more like a burn from light, like something sliced through her. a ring of light being thrown.

she doesn't say anything at first.]

[she just rests her head against his shoulder or his chest depending on how he's holding her.]

You're alive. [so it's okay. she lets him wipe off the gunk and blood - the blood is just blood, but the gunk is sticky and horrible and heavy.] ... I think I went to the world Temenos is from.
