"About time," Ronin grunted as Cole and I approached the awaiting Destiny's Bounty. "What did you do, have a barbie movie marathon?"
"No, but that does sound enticing," I hummed, beginning the climb up the rope ladder to board the ship. Ronin scoffed, following up after Cole. Once we were safely on board and the rope ladder had been pulled up, Nya steered the Bounty into the sky. I hoped that this trip wouldn't end with me falling over the side. I'd rather not make that a habit.
The Bounty rumbled through the air, making my hair flutter. The sky was incredibly blue. I almost felt jealous that the weather was so merry. At least storm clouds would reflect our situation - having a perfect day just felt cheap without Lloyd. "Something bothering you?" Ronin asked as he leant against the rail. I sighed, turning around and planting my elbows on the guard, staring out at the scenery as we ascended. "What isn't, these days?" I grumbled, dropping my head onto my arm. "I just want to fast forward life until we get Lloyd back. I have no idea how long it'll be until we even get to see him again. And I can't help but worry if his body is being taken care of. Is he sleeping? Eating? Is he-"
"I think you need to stop worrying about it," the mercenary declared, pulling an apple out of his pouch and taking a large bite. "There's no use wasting energy worrying over things you can't control. Just ride the waves, sweetheart." "It's not the simple," I mumbled, my hands tightening over my arms as I stared at the forest below us. "Every waking moment, I'm thinking about him. I can't just stop." "It can be, and it is," Ronin corrected. "If you let it. Tell me, what would you do if he broke up with you? Would you still act like this? Like a total simp?" I snorted. "I am not a simp." "Ah, but that's something only a simp would say," Ronin mentioned, pointing a finger at me with raised eyebrows. My amused smile fell as I glanced back out.
"I don't know what I'd do," I hummed, my thumb rubbing circles on my arm. It wasn't a thought I'd particularly like to entertain. "I think I'd probably just. Stop wanting to exist." Ronin scoffed. "I'm serious," I straightened, turning my frown to him. "This prophecy needs me near him. It controls my body so I can get closer to him all the time. To do that if we broke up would be agony." Ronin paused, brown eyes hovering on me questioningly. "You're in a prophecy?" My gaze flickered to the sky. "Yeah." "Huh," he hummed, tossing his apple core over the side of the Bounty. "It's you. Well, this is just one of the many." I glanced over at him. "Pardon me?"
