[Jester listens with a sinking feeling in her stomach. It's just as she'd feared; life outside of the Nameless Isle goes on just as it had before she came here, but she'll never really get to enjoy any of it, because she knows better. She knows that Fjord might love her, but he's not in love with her like he is Molly. Fjord wants to be with Molly, wants to go off and sail the seas with him, and even though he already said Jester could come with, she doesn't know if she'd rather do that or just be on her own.]
Oh. Okay. That's cool.
[Her voice gets tight and high and she's obviously upset and she hates when she's so transparent about it, when it's so much that she can't just smile through it and shrug it off. Jester sucks in a huge breath and disappears under the surface of the water for a few seconds, because she can't deal with her own overwhelming disappointment right now and Beau shouldn't have to either. When she resurfaces, she pushes the water away from her face.]
It's fine. [She gives Beau a quick smile, already back to pushing her feelings down for later, later.] Thanks for filling me in.
whoops sorry i went off
