THIS WORLD SUCKS!!!

[For someone that's been forced to write in a diary for the past seven years, Luke's handwriting sure does look like cheagle scratch. It doesn't help that he's fed up and annoyed, which only serves to make his already crappy handwriting that much worse.]

I used to love the ocean, but I can't stand it any more! All we ever do is sail over here, get attacked by giant moths, sail over here, lose some crew members in a fog, sail over here, pick up some brats. It's so damn boring, and now we're going back to that stupid island we started out from again!? Even though everyone said we should get off of there as soon as possible?!

I hate this! I want something different to do!

[...just be glad this is written, and you don't actually have to hear his bratty ranting.]

[Hubert yelps a little when Luke answers the door yelling like he's trying to punch the air with his voice. Any remaining courage he had to say what he needed to say has promptly fled the scene. Now Hubert's just standing there with his arms held close to his chest, staring wide-eyed at Luke looking like he might cry.

(ohgodohgodohgodohgod does Ephinea even have any sort of notion of a divine deity this was such a bad idea)]

[...o-oh crap, the whiny one, and it looked like he was going to start crying any second.]

H-hey, sorry, thought you were someone else.

[Don't start crying, don't start crying...]

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

...o-oh.

[That...doesn't actually make anything better.]

S-sorry...

[gdit Hubert, you have nothing to apologize for!!! While he doesn't start crying, he does sniffle a little.]

[action]

[sacred_flamer]

[...he's really not sure which brat is worse. Luke let out a disgruntled noise, putting a hand to his head.]

What do you want anyway?

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

U-um...

[fidget fidget]

I saw your journal post, and...

[Does that explain anything? Hubert hopes it does.]

[action]

[sacred_flamer]

[...not really, no.]

And...?

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

U-um...













I'm really sorry if me and Asbel are bothering you.

[action]

[sacred_flamer]

[...okay, he has pretty good hearing, but...]

What?

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

[In a slightly louder tone:]

We don't have anywhere else to go, but...we'll try to stay out of your way from now on...

[...not that Luke and the bitties had that much previous interaction, probably.]

[Luke stared at him, before he pressed a hand to his forehead, grumbling under his breath.]

Man, don't you have a spine? Stop groveling like that, geeze...

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

[Luke, you won't like what happens when Hubert gets a spine.]

S-sorry...

[Yup. Now he's apologizing for apologizing.]

[action]

[sacred_flamer]

Ugh...

[Luke pressed a hand against his forehead.]

Look, you're not a... brat. You're just... not used to what I'm used to.

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

So...you don't have any younger brothers or sisters, or anything like that?

[action]

[sacred_flamer]

No, I don't; and other than Guy and Natalia, no one outside the mansion that I really got to know. Well, until recently anyway.

[action]

[bitty_blue_brother]

[Hmm...Hubert thinks he can see the situation a bit more clearly, now.]

That sounds kind of lonely.
