The OceaNyx, Somewhere At Sea, Sunday

There had been a brief moment at port to restock their increasingly-full pantry, but otherwise, the OceaNyx had been at sea (or at uninhabited bay) for the past few days, allowing its inhabitants to find some kind of peace. It had been helpful, at least for Lucifer, whose strong emotions towards both of his partners - anger, for Duke, worry, for Octavia - had finally settled back down. Allowing him to be in the moment.

Admittedly, 'the moment' involved a lot of cooking in the ship's incredibly tiny kitchen - how he'd managed to wrench that many cookies out of that oven was anyone's guess - but still.

It was a nice day. The climate was certainly growing warmer, as they moved further south. And so Lucifer eventually exited the kitchen to find a spot on some cushions near the back, enjoying the sight of the wind in the ship's sails, the way it bent slightly sideways as it made speed, the sound of the bow cutting through the water.

Why couldn't it be like this all the time?

Octavia gave a shrug.

Like, yes.
okteiviakom: ([neu] good hair day)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Octavia shook her head.

"Being there was physical enough."
okteiviakom: ([neu] not again)

"I mean, I got tossed out of an imploding lighthouse, but..."

That was just Haven.
okteiviakom: ([neu] got cut)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Octavia shrugged.

"Not really."
okteiviakom: ([neu] big breath)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"I had to cut my finger for Duke's trouble," Octavia added, after a pause, like an afterthought. "But even that's healed."
okteiviakom: ([neu blodreina] mmmmhmmmmmm)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mmh."

Well, what was there to say to that?
okteiviakom: ([spec] hands)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia let him.

Her fingers brushed against his.
okteiviakom: ([neu blodreina] mmmmhmmmmmm)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia hummed again. Gave his fingers a little squeeze.

"I made sure it wasn't going to be too bad."
okteiviakom: ([neu] messes ahead)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-04-30 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia shrugged one shoulder. Barely, as was her way.

"Just doing my best to... not make things worse." Sometimes in the smallest ways possible.
okteiviakom: ([neu] good hair day)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-05-01 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Someone should," Octavia muttered.
okteiviakom: ([neu] not again)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-05-01 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Someone should notice," Octavia clarified.

Softer and quieter.
okteiviakom: ([spec linc] head kisses)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-05-01 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't really have anything else I can do," Octavia admitted. It felt like admitting something, anyway. "So I have to cling even harder to the small stuff."

She swallowed.

"And it doesn't always feel like enough."

Understatement, as they'd already seen.
okteiviakom: ([neu] this face is unfair)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2024-05-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia squeezed his hand back.

"Mochof," she said, for all of it. Even though he was saying she'd done something. Continued to do something.
