JOURNEY OF TWILIGHT

[thecanopycrew]

The fairy ship goes by the stream in what will starts as a rocky river ride to a smoother, deeper stream further north. After a few hours, the stream opens into a large lake full of water lilies and reeds, creating a beautiful labyrinth. Here, the deep water is very clear, shimmering fish curiously following the ship.

The adventure begins!

That's a pity, Saber. I was quite fond of you. [ Gil seemed angry for a moment, but now he mostly seems hurt. He's trying to put on his best poker face, but it's not working very well. Nine year olds tend to not be great actors. ]

But we'll leave it at that. [ But he was still a king, and a king had his own code to follow, and that meant not getting too hung up on whether some random subject cared for him. That way was petty, and led to madness.

So off he goes, stomping below board. ]

[Unimportant huh… Orcelito glances between the two of them, studying their body language and tone during this final exchange. He’s only just met Gil, but he’s known Saber a few months, and if she says it will not disrupt their mission, it won’t. He believes he can trust her maturity. Gil, on the other hand… he’s not sure. So Orcelito decides to handle this from the most neutral standpoint he can.]

I realize this is no concern of mine and I won’t inquire further. I only ask that you do indeed wait until the mission is complete. As long as we are outside the Tree, we are vulnerable to attack. I want everyone to be on guard, and not against each other.

[Following this exchange, he retreats to the forward deck under the pretense of watching their surroundings. In truth, he needs space to think. And amid his pondering, he catches Saber’s message over the amber. It… gives him more to think about.]
