Does anything rhyme with silver? [somebody's finally trying his hand at writing poetry]

Also if anybody's seen the SS Huntress's welding torch, please let me know! It is a wreck in here, honestly. ...wait, maybe we don't have a welding torch.



[ACTION]

[Sorey can be found half-buried in the guts of engineering, muttering words to himself as he tries to fit them into his rhyming scheme. Occasionally he'll crawl back out of the maintenance panel to write something in a grease-smudged notebook that contains...truly dire but very enthusiastic poetry.]

[Sorey lowers his hands to his stomach, ignoring the grease on his fingers. He holds Mikleo's gaze as he considers that.

They had a dream before all of this, of course; they wanted to explore the world together, wanted to find every single ruin, wanted to solve the mystery that is the history of their world. They wanted to do that together.

But after what happened with Dezel, Sorey is beginning to wonder if that's possible. After their clash with Heldalf, after learning that Maotelus himself must be a hellion, corrupting the entire earth...he wonders.

There might not be a goal after this one.]

We could always dust off the classics, [he says instead, unwilling to voice his thoughts just yet. When they're not facing down the ticking of a clock it's easier to think that way, to believe that they'll have decades and decades more to realize as many dreams as they can come up with.] Explore all the ruins of the world, right? There's got to be entire civilizations we still don't know anything about.

I have no objections.

[Honestly, he'd be overjoyed if that became their endgame. That sort of freedom wouldn't come unless Sorey's duty was fulfilled, and that would mean that they'd survived against Heldalf and all of his cohorts, against the malevolence of the world, against whatever Maotelus became.

Sorey doesn't have to say it; Mikleo knows their odds of survival, and he's committed to stick with the journey despite them. Even so... he's just as content as Sorey to leave them unspoken.]

It would keep us busy for a long, long time, that's for sure.
