But most people don't particularly enjoy being in prison and a lot of them will do whatever it takes to break out. I'd rather not leave that mess in someone else's hands.
[ vi is correct, as she always is. hee straightens one of the crooked masts on his ship but only manages to tilt it the other way, probably because he's busy looking at vi. ]
You really think he would forget about you that easily? You leave a strong impression.
I'll take that as a compliment. [ wryly, but she's not mad. ] I don't think he'd forget. I just - I just don't want him to blame himself and think I hate him or whatever. It's how his stupid brain works.
Yeah. He gets in his head about doing the right thing, and if he doesn't manage it, he kicks his own ass harder than anybody I've ever met.
Even that Talis guy has nothing on him, it's crazy. [ but she likes it, really, because even if she doesn't follow the rules, she appreciates someone with a strong moral code. ]

Before... [ head tilt. ] You can't take a vacation or anything?

[ teasing, just a little. she forms what looks like a little... creature with her clay. kind of dog-like. ]
I guess vacation isn't exactly enticing anyway, considering that's how we both ended up here.
no subject
Thanks for reminding me. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go on a vacation without thinking of that experience.
[ thanks for nothing, key nueve!!!! anyway. he gestures at her little clay animal. ]
What's that supposed to be?
no subject
[ makes a little tch sound. as for the animal, she picks it up fully and rotates it with a frown. ]
A goat, but it's not going well. [ clearly, because it looks like a dog ]
no subject
Planning on giving it to someone? Or just making it for fun?
no subject
[ sisi insists he is a cow but vi thinks he's a goat because he's as stubborn as one ]
He could use a reminder that I'm still around. [ and she misses him... which is what she isn't saying. ]

[ which is both good and bad. ]

no subject
Hate himself? [ nvm he doesn't care about his ship anymore. ] What, for not being able to stop you from coming over here?
no subject
He did the first time. In Key Neuve. He blamed himself for not being able to bring me back with him too.
no subject
Is he like that with everyone?

no subject
[ just kidding, though strohl sure seems like he could use one some days. ]
But it's good that you have a friend like him looking out for you. Not everyone has someone like that.
no subject
[ fair though, really ]
... Yeah, well. [ she puts the little goat charm down. ] Wish I could be there more for him. Can't really do anything over here.
no subject
[ dryly. but no, he's kidding. ]
I'm sure he appreciates your letters, and that you're thinking of him. Who knows, maybe he'll end up over here sooner or later.
