        `     @augurys          uneventful,   yet  I  sold  quite  a  lot.   i  enjoyed  the  sights,   too. 

〝 who said i'd treat it like a toy﹖  i just wanna see it up close is all＂

       "       its  not  a  toy.     "

〝 that's pretty neat if you ask me﹗  ooo,  do you think i could hold it﹖＂

      "      .. alright,  its  not  going  to  cause  any  harm,  I  guess.   uh ..  tell me about yourself then..?       "   
                             `       @dracocrest 

i suppose. nothing in particular.. but why not get to know a fellow passenger?

      "     did  you ..  want  to  talk  about  something?     "

@waterlagoon ⠀ ꪶཷ         "     that's  the  last  thing  I  want  to  do.       "      he  agreed,    shrugging  his  shoulders   in   dismissal.    "    I  can  hold  my  own,   worry  about  yourself. 

you can come,  i don't mind.   just don't..  slow me down on the way.⠀ ⠀∗⠀it's a bit blunt,  but they mean no harm.   he only prefers to work alone after all.⠀∗⠀⠀ you should be wary,  the mara curse hasn't hindered.

@waterlagoon⠀  ꪶཷ             "      it's  basically  our  only  shtick   ; being  helpful.   I'll  hang  back  if  you  need  me  too.       "  

you didn’t /mean/ that really, did you?      ⋆  expression hopeful, the girl questions. but soon she smiles again, and gives his shoulder a pat.  ⋆      well, whatever! it’s okay. i’ll just have to take even better photos in the future!

@phasedice     ꪶཷ            he  tenses,   cheeks  flushing  pink  with  sudden  regret   lulling  over  widening   eyes.     he  turns   his  head  away,   eyes  cast  out  to  the  galaxy.      "     no.    it  was ..  a   poorly  executed  joke.     "  he  quickly  muttered  an  apology.    

what?! no, i—      ⋆  she appears shocked by those words. and march frowns, brows furrowing.. it looked fine to her.  ⋆      is it really that bad?
