misstrust | Sora Catch-all;

[he makes a face.]

I can still apologize anyway, can't I? This whole thing sucks, Dorothy. [he's really out here defending her choices but it happens when you're biased.]

[ Dorothy laughs, quietly. ]

Yes, well-- I can't say I'm enjoying it either.

Yeah...[there's a half-smile.] Is there anything I can do for you at all? I don't mind hanging out for a while.

[being in jail seems lonely so he's here for company.]

What would you like to do?

[ Dorothy's here either way and will deal either way. ]

Didn't think about it much to be honest. I got about as far as "spend time with a friend" and figured I'd make up the rest as I went. [which is such a lame thing to say, and he knows that, but it's about as honest as he can get with an answer to a question like that.]

... Well, then. I'll happily welcome your company for a little while longer.

Okay. [there's a grin as he leans back on his hands.]

Ange told me a while ago she hadn't really seen anything like the pirate port or the ocean before. Is it the same for you, too? [hopefully dorothy got to enjoy the beach before everything went to hell.]

It is. Especially the ocean this week... it was very beautiful to witness.

[ She made Wolf carry her down the beach. ]

[she's so valid.]

It was. I've been trying to spend as much time over there as I can before it disappears. I think it's been my favorite place so far. [he looks a little fond then.] I've been hoping other people have been able to find something good about it, too. So it's nice to hear.

...our friends on the other side get to see a similar place too, I think.

I'm glad to hear that. I was wondering what it looked like over there.

... Though I suppose I'll find that out myself soon enough.

[ By dying horribly! ]

I forget which one of them told me, but it was in one of their letters. They can see us on this side, too.

[...but yeah, hm. bad.]

With all of these cursed sleeping items around, maybe tomorrow will be just as painless. [falling asleep and not waking up...it'd be easier, wouldn't it? maybe he can wish for that.]

... I wonder how that would work. Would I be asleep on the other side until someone woke me up?

[ Hm. ]

Hm...maybe. But that would mean somebody over there would have to kiss you to wake you up. [...] I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

That depends entirely on the kisser.

[ She shrugs. ]

But that's fine. It's not like I also haven't died before, by now.

[...just tilting his head.]

Really? I never would have thought...[dorothy seems way too together to have died, in his opinion.]

Mm, during the adventure here... we had to hang ourselves to leave.

Oh. That. [that makes more sense, and it wasn't quite what he was thinking. still...] ...whatever happens tomorrow, it can't be as bad as that was.

... I hope so.

[ meanwhile, Kia cackling in execution knowledge ]

[...he shakes his head. also i hate you.]

Never mind that. I didn't come here to focus on tomorrow. [because it's depressing and dorothy doesn't need to think about it more than necessary.]

Neither did I. I still have tonight to get through.

[ What fun! ]

Yeah...there's still that. [which sucks.]

But this is almost over. We'll be able to fix the cycle and get everybody home. That's something to look forward to, isn't it?

I'd like to think so, at any rate.

[ She shakes her head. ]

We'll just have to keep it in mind. [even if the end's coming, they can't lose sight of that.]

What're you hoping to do when you get back? Any plans?

... Well, it's a little complicated, but basically help out a princess.

A princess? [he immediately sounds interested.] Is she in trouble?
