And then another, followed by shouting and the sounds of commotion in the distance. His ears perked up, and he craned his neck up towards the door of his room. "What is all that racket ?" He asked softly, not really sure if he wanted to find out. Sometimes it was best just to let the other crew members be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driz 1,552 January 13, 2017 Share January 13, 2017 @, @@Hazard Time Trinket clasped her hands together. "Then it's settled! Let's go fetch Skyhop and Clockwork so we can finally treat ourselves to lunch!" She picked the food package back up and peeked inside it: to her dismay, only a single dumpling had been spared. Perhaps she should have brought more than just a few, considering how starved everyone was. Now she wouldn't have enough to share with the rest of the crew members. For a brief moment, she considered hiding the fact that she ever brought those snacks to the ship in the first place, as to not disappoint those who weren't there in time. Nevertheless, they were hopefully going to eat fairly soon, and all would be well. She signaled to Raze and Bronze, making her way back up towards the Vega's living quarters.

Her mind was a mess: emergency plans were being thought out on the fly nonstop, and discarded likewise. All she was able to do was stutter helplessly - after all, she had already been found out. "L...Listen!" She finally managed to exclaim. "It's not as easy as it looks, alright? You don't know my parents! You don't know how strict they are! I am not gonna risk losing my job-- losing you guys, just because my family thinks they can decide what's best for me!" At that point, her eyes were beginning to well up with tears. "I don't need to stop running, Raze! I am done with my past life! I don't need my parents anymore! I don't... I... I don't..." She slowly worked her way to a stop, otherwise she would have ended up crying for real. It hurt for her to say those things out loud: deep inside, she cared for her family just as much as she cared for her crew. However, she assumed that juggling the two would be impossible.
