He looked at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the world around him. "It's amazing up here," he breathed. "You're not scared of heights, are you?"

( Yey :D. We should go to Trieste soon, so Leah can show Cicada their home )
(Sounds good, MORE ANGST!)
"Just some bad experience with heights. My brothers and I used to play a game where we would jump from rooftop to rooftop." Leah explained, looking towards Anjou. "I didn't time my jump. . . and it didn't go so well."
Daso gazed back at her, a sympathetic wince on his face. "Hm. Sounds painful." His eyes became pensive. "You hardly talk about your brothers. What were they like?"
Ryan brought Joanna back to the ship. He decided that he would stay on the deck as long as possible before they started sailing. If I'm gonna be here for a while, I should learn to not get seasick….
She sighed and looked towards the water. "Their names were George and Cameron. George was 15 and Cam was 18." Leah faltered when she said her brother's nickname. She turned back towards Daso, fixing her gaze on him. "They looked just like me. They taught me to sail and they could always make me laugh no matter what. I-" She shook her head and looked at him.
"They sound lovely," Daso said gently, his tone compassionate. "And quite brave to be jumping from building to building."
Morrigan checked the time, gripping a shotgun in both hands so tight that her fingernails cut deep gouges in the soft pads of her palms. It was 2:15, and all was silent on The Andromeda but for the muted sound of waves crashing up against the hull so that her strained, shaky breathing seemed louder than the alarms that blared through the sector of Anjou during emergency drills. She listened hard, and after she was sure that everyone was asleep, she lifted the gun and pressed it against her forehead, squeezing her eyes shut. Her wings drooped, spilling over the back of the chair, but her head was held high as she said a final goodbye to her crew mates. I’m sorry, guys. I tried., she thought sadly. Tears formed in the corners of Morrigan’s eyes, slipping out and trickling down her cheeks, bitter, hot, and full of regret. The tiniest of whimpers escaped from her lips and she lay one finger over the trigger.
(Don’t worry this was about a year ago, she stopped herself)
(whelp…)
(When you try your best but you don't succeed)
(oml…)
( Aw, Morrigan. I'm so sad now. )
"They were trouble makers and always dragged me along with them." Leah laughed softly, remembering all the trouble they would get into together. "George flirted with every girl he met. Reminds me of someone. . ." Leah said, casting a sideways glance at Daso.
( O my lord. )
(No Morrigan…)
(no one talk to Ryan right now I'm trying to write his backstory so I might not respond)
(She survived, at least. The one thing that stopped her was the fact that she’d never picked up the letter from her mother [who was actually more abusive than her father but she denies it] that she picked up with Lucian just now)
( is it just me, or is the website not working )
"I wish I could've met them both," Daso said with a smile. "Who knows? Maybe George and I would flirt with each other and you'd never have to worry about me flirting with you."
(Idk it’s working for me)
(When you try your best but you don't succeed)
(Wait…. is that a line from "Fix you" ???)
(Fine for me.)
"Then I'd be jealous." Leah grinned, nudging Daso playfully and continuing up the mast. She dropped down onto a wooden beam, reaching the rigging and quickly securing a two half hitch knot.
Daso scrambled after her, laughing. He reached a beam and sat back. "So, what do I do? I can tie a knot, thanks to navy training, but I don't know which knots to tie."
Ryan took out the notepad and pencil he had gotten from his sisters before he left. He tapped the pencil on the paper for a few seconds before suddenly jerking his head up. Oh no…I forgot to find Naomi…it's fine. She won't remember me after six years anyway. He began writing.
Dear Ella, Allie, and Fynn,
I just got back to the ship. We haven't left yet, but I already miss you guys. I don't know when we're departing or where we're going next, but I'll be sure to write to you then.
Ryan didn't plan on sending this letter. This was something for him to keep. Something to keep him calm right now.
Leah placed her hands on her hips as she looked around, balancing on the edge of the beam. "Two half hitches over there and a sheet bend there." She replied, motioning towards the areas.
Leah walked towards one of the ropes, kneeling down and looping the rope into a knot quickly. She hummed a folk song as she worked, constantly blowing her hair out of her face.
Leah's hums reached Kameo's ears and it hit him back to memory lane. His mom, singing as she danced around the living room, making sure father wasn't here yet. He didn't like the dancing. Or the singing. He especially didn't like that Kameo liked the singing and dancing.
"Why are you making my son into a girl?!"
(I have to go now guys bye!)
