And so, I emerge from the darkness!

Just kidding. I'm all right, no worries - despite being what I think was a smuggler for a few days back when everyone swashed and buckled, I managed to escape the noose.

But I've been sorting through new things I've recently come into possession of, and it's made me wonder - is it better or worse when we leave all our stuff to someone in the City?

I haven't left this place in two years and three months, but if I ever do - please just sell everything and throw a party. But wait a few weeks first?

Anyway. Onto the positive thinking, yes. I think I've had all the drinks to be had in the honour of all those who'd have appreciated the gesture, so let's move on while we haven't got a curse to deal with. Tell me, City, what is new with you?

[He seems to be on the same wavelength as her, which is good, because as soon as she spots him, she descends the few steps until she's at his level and meets him halfway into the hug. Squeezes tight.]

It's okay.

[studmuffin]

I know.

[ There's so much else that could go wrong. He does know. But that doesn't mean they don't need this too. ]

[Of course they need this. No matter how and for whom and in what degree, family is important for them both. Not having it here stings; not having Jamie here hurts, sometimes even physically (like a missing limb), and she can only imagine it must be similar to Stiles.]

I missed you.

[studmuffin]

I'm sorry, I guess I got caught up.

[ Everything feels so different with Scott, two lived lives and a whole ton of suspicion. But Mae is important to him and he let her down. ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

Yeah, me too. I'm just as guilty.

[studmuffin]

Next time we'll know to at least check in with each other, right?

action;

[brobeforehos]

We'd better, yeah.

[studmuffin]

[ He lets her go but he stays close, a small smile across his features. ]

So the pirate biz? Not for you?

action;

[brobeforehos]

I could've been so good.

[studmuffin]

I spent the entire curse lurking in the forest with Isaac, so y'know? It definitely wasn't awesome for me either.

action;

[brobeforehos]

Why were you stuck lurking?

action;

[studmuffin]

Well, walking the plank sounds like it'd suck.

action;

[brobeforehos]

Were you a pirate on dry land? Because, I know I'm your friend here, Stiles - but that's a bit lame.

action;

[studmuffin]

I was just me. Which is usually lame.
