Lucian’s thumb was against her wrist and Morrigan was pretty sure he could feel her pulse quicken. “I don’t deserve help. I allow myself only small portions.”

Leah opened her mouth to say something, but it wouldn't come out. The truth was, she had no idea what to say. The silence hung between them.
( 'Jonah.' xD )
(;P)
"OKAY WAIT! WAIT! If you give those back, I'll get you some proper fighting knives."
Cicada stopped, "Promise?"
It was unnervingly silent. The only things he could hear were the screams of the two girls, yelling about knives or whatever.
“Of course you deserve help, why would you say that you don’t?” Lucian asked softly. Of course he noticed her pulse quicken. He was trained to track that sort of thing. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
Joanna paused to catch her breath. "Yes. I promise. Besides that small one wouldn't do much."
"I stole more than one ya know," Cicada pulled out a much larger knife, "And I like these ones. So bye!"
Cicada sprinted off again.
“I’m not a good person, Lucian. The quicker you realize that, the safer you’ll be.”, she whispered.
(Brb, 15 minutes max)
"OH COME ON. IF YOUR GOING TO BE ON THIS SHIP, DON'T STEAL FROM CREWMATES!"
Leah tried to imagine what it would be like if her siblings came back and died again. She wouldn't be able to bear it. "I'm sorry Kameo. . . I'm so sorry that he's gone." She finally said, speaking up.
"NOT MY STYLE JON!" Cicada laughed maniacally.
"UGH! I'M NOT GETTING YOU KNIVES THEN!" Joanna threw a gesture in her direction and walked back to the kitchen.
Cicada heard the footsteps march away from her. She slowed to a stop and caught her breath. She would leave the knives on the kitchen door in the morning. Cicada didn't need new knives, she liked her twin daggers. She looked at her hand and saw a thin line of blood. "Great," she muttered to herself, "I wonder if Lucian just leaves bandages lying around?"
Cicada walked back towards the infirmary to find out.

"I know." he brushed his hair back. "I am too." he choked back a sob.
(I’m back for one sec then I’m gone for another 15. @Opia?)
She nodded slowly, looking up at him. "What do you want to do for him. . . a funeral, maybe?"
(I have to go bye!)
(Sorry, this site was acting up and I had to retype my thing!)
Lucian exhaled softly, looking down at their hands. “You continue to say that about yourself,” he started in a slow tone, “Everyone here, we care about you. If you weren’t good like you say, we wouldn’t care as much. But we all do, I do. And it’s hell to see you beat yourself up mentally over thoughts like that.” He paused, thinking of more to say. He wasn’t sure if the words were really coming from him, or the therapist side of him. He really hoped that it was the first option. He hesitantly brought her hand up, pressing his lips to her knuckles gently below lowering her hand back down. “Do you understand?”
(Bye)
Her heart skipped one, two, three beats and her breath caught. “I—I understand.” Her voice wavered. “I— ever since my brother died……………… It’s my job to make sure I don’t hurt anyone else.”
She nodded slowly, looking up at him. "What do you want to do for him. . . a funeral, maybe?"
"A long time ago, he told me that when he died he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered along the Tarakona mountain range." Kameo closed his eyes, holding back tears, "I never thought his death would be so soon."
(AH NERD! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US!)
Lucian nodded and kept her gaze. “I know, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what you went through… I’m always here to talk to you about it, if you’d like,” he said.
Leah nodded, brushing back a strand of hair behind her ear. She bit her lip so she wouldn't cry too. "Tarakona mountains. . . " She paused, thinking of where they were. "Of course we can stop there."
( God, just kiss. xD )
( God, just kiss. xD )
(Shhhhhh)
( God, just kiss. xD )
(Shhhhhh)
( Of course, surprises. I'll be quiet now )
Joanna decided to go find Kam and Ace. She grabbed the bag of caramels and set off to find them.
