Meanwhile on the less violent fish ship....

[save_the_souls]

Who: The Blue Fish Crew & Any Visitors
Broadcast: MAYBE
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Beginning of July

[So in the past month, Aang & Katara may or may not have become an item, Sokka finished off all of puberty in under a week, Allen remained stuck in the puberty still, Toph won strangest pilot award briefly before she had to give it up to a pony, Hawke sassed everything and finally itemized with Anders, Beverly acquired a Starfleet issued puppy, and it turned out the cook is a flipping disney princess. Quite a time for the Blue Fish crew!]

[Well, it's time to check in with them again: AKA IT'S A MINGLE EVERYONE]

Hm?

[ He leans forward a little bit, looking up- as if he's trying to keep eye contact with the guy. For someone whose so dark and imposing, he sure was bashful.... ]

...It's alright. You don't have to be so hard on yourself. It always seems like everyone knows more, but that's not always true.

Though...I get the feeling you have a lot more to offer than you think you do.

[ allen keeps saying things that riku doesn't understand, and riku just stares at him confusedly.

don't have to be hard on himself? if he isn't, no one else will be! riku, have more to offer? all he's done is mess up, he's got nothing to contribute except 'don't do this'. he idly shakes his head, before he does it more firmly. ]

I barely know anything. Anyway--this isn't about me.

I need to talk to Kairi. [ he rubs his other arm, before turning. ] Sorry. I didn't mean to waste your time. Like I said--I'll tell you if I find anything out.

[ He tilts his head before pulling away. This guy seems to beat himself up almost as much as Miranda, that's rather depressing to see. ]

[But it's not like he knows Riku all that well, so he'll oblige and pull away, shaking his head one more time]

It's not your fault. If anything, I'm the one who wasted your time. So, sorry about that, but thank you for taking the time anyway.

[limitstorm]

You didn't waste my time, I was just...

[ his voice fails him, and he scratches his cheek. ]

Nevermind. Thanks. [ he just gives him a quick bow of his head, before he trails off. gotta go get the bff ]

[save_the_souls]

Mm.

[He'll step aside and let him go, watching him leave as he does. It's only when he's sure Riku's not looking does he let his expression cross into a concerned frown. His cursed eye flickers on as well, reacting to the wisps of darkness ebbing off that boy. Same as before.]

[...]

[Finally, when Riku's gone. He turns leave and go about his own business.]
