============

You were completely out of it during the trip to the docks, just exhausted. Right when you had fallen into your brisk nap, you were woken up by Jay shrilling that there was no time for sleeping, Zane scolding him to be quiet. He eventually retreated at your bloodshot scleras and pissed-off face. He stayed far away from you(preferable to his insults) and is the first to board the late Gordon's sailboat. You didn't even have a chance to take a step on the deck, Jay making a fuss.

"Jay, let them on." Pixal's words clipped him, briskly. Jay grumbled, hugging a thick book to his chest. Cole floated by and whispered something in Zane's ear. They went into the cabin with Jay. Cole looked at you, expecting you to follow and relaxed when you didn't.

'Figures.' Now you were left with Lloyd and Nya.

Whatever they were chatting about went quietly, but you did catch one thing: "...I'll watch your back, Lloyd."

"I'll watch out for you too. You're NOT alone here, Nya..."

'I shouldn't be here.' You walked aboard, leaving them to wash their worries with genuine reassurances. You knocked on the door to the cabin. It's locked. "What's taking so long?" No answer. 'I don't mind destroying another door.' You placed your palm on the wood. Should you? A face appeared, squished under your hand. "Oh." Cole's pissed-off words are muffled before he flitted away to one of the masts with a scowl. The door swung open, and just by being there, you startled the coward.

"Geez, back off!"

"Get out of the way first." You shoved him and entered. That ticked him off; he grabbed your shoulder, and you sighed. "What do you want?"

"I heard your conversation with Kai-"

"Oh, wow, you heard all that before the djinn got him?"

"Let me finish! You were alone in the woods- so you must have met Nadakhan. And made a wish!" You brought your hood to your eyes, the wish haunting you. He didn't need to know that. Not that he even had the right.

"I'm not even a part of the team, so why would a random djinn talk to me when there haven't been any more disappearances?" You played off his disdain for you being here, complaining that you have a point. "And you're the last person to be asking about wishes. We're standing on one."

"Hey! I didn't know that would happen- I didn't want this!" Jay's hand crushed on your tense shoulder. Zane walked around the corner.

"What is happening here, Jay?" Zane stiffly smiled, eyes devoid of any cheeriness.

"Pester me another time. I'm fucking tired." You shrugged off his hand, Zane letting you through. The door closed, but metal thuds trailed after you.

"Did that incident in the woods have something to do with Nadakhan?"

"Who knows." The room swayed with the tides.

"You made a wish... Didn't you?"

'It didn't feel like one.' You exhaled through your nose, barely even a breath. One out-of-place move and you'll be under scrutiny once again. "You heard what I told Jay."
