it's quiet
i like the sound of the sea, it reminds me of home
now there are lots of people in the house it's not as if i have to spend every night on lookout with someone in case we're attacked

paintball is balloons filled with paint fired from the cannons :|
it makes a mess

[leetle]

aww
that sounds like it would be nice
i guess you don't mind being alone like i do





can i shoot one

[halforc]

i'm not alone, i know where you all are
and sometimes it's nice to have a breather from people, as much as you love them

when i was cleaning them out i kept one loaded for you

[leetle]

yeah i guess so!
kind of like when i'm sketching or something at the end of the day
just not TOO far away from everyone, you know?

YESSSSS
you're the best
<3

[halforc]

yeah, like that

i know ;)

[leetle]

ugh i take it back if you're going to be gross about it

[halforc]

what if i'm the best there ever was
what if being The Best ... is my DESTINY???

[leetle]

hahahaha
you're so annoying

[halforc]

i'm just kidding B:
the best is probably that person you said you like, right?
how are things going with them?
(i'm allowed to ask as The Former Best)

[leetle]

i know, silly

[hmm HMM this sure got away from her fast!!]

fjord, you're still the best
that person is really cool and nice but i don't think it's like...a thing or anything

[halforc]

what does that mean, "not a thing"?
in the cafe you said they were super cool and good-looking or something

[leetle]

yes but so are lots of people
that doesn't mean i'm dating them or anything
why, are you totally jealous???

[halforc]

i'm not jealous because apparently they suck and i don't get jealous over sucky people
B:
because they suck!

[leetle]

that doesn't sound like a hard no, though...

[halforc]

i just want to make sure you're safe with whoever you like
in that way

[leetle]

[Deep breath in, deep breath out.]

don't worry, fjord. the person i do like makes me feel really really safe.

[halforc]

okay

[leetle]

["okay"? What kind of answer is that! Jester fumes a little, warring with herself, and then decides that she's just...over this whole stupid noble thing she's decided to do.]

oh my gods fjord are you serious

[halforc]

what? of course i'm serious, there are weirdos on the island

[leetle]

i'm just really confused right now because under normal circumstances you're like REALLY smart
maybe i should just stop beating around the bush about this huh

[halforc]

under NORMAL circumstances?
has something happened with that person? you can tell me

[leetle]

uggggh no it has nothing to do with them and everything to do with [it takes her a full minute to work up the nerve—] you
you're the person i actually like

[halforc]

[ There's a pause of a minute or so between messages as he sits up in bed, blinking at her message. She means in that way, she must if that's what she's annoyed he hasn't realised, and it's confusing on a lot of levels. She's been entirely herself, just as confident as Fjord remembers, so he didn't feel possessive or any huge degree of jealousy when she branched out (a little) just ... convinced her old crush was well and truly over. She's been so happy for him and he's told her so much.

... Oh gods, so much. ]

but you hooked up with that person the first week you arrrived

[leetle]

[In the interim between sending her message and receiving his, Jester takes a moment to take a deep breath and then scream into her pillow. When she gets Fjord's message, she's immediately typing back despite how trembly she is all of a sudden.]

because i was sad
because i thought that you suddenly didn't want me anymore
you know i come from a later time than you
i just...didn't want to mention how things were for us because you seemed so happy
and who was i to barge in here and demand things be exactly the same way for us!!!!!!

[halforc]

[ whARHFJFL ]

what do you mean, "the way things are for us?
