Wolfe went over and stared at the sandcastles. He looked confused.
|
Raven's eyes were closed. He looked like he was snoozing.
|
Wolfe paused for a moment before flatting the castles and turning back to the boat, it looked like the tide had gone out. He started to push the boat through the sand.
|
Raven slowly got up as Wolfe started pushing the boat out with a yawn. He was about to shout something to him when he noticed that his sand castles were gone. "Huh?!" he exclaimed in surprise.
|
Wolfe didn't reply, still pushing the boat back into the water.
|
Raven kept glanced back and forth between Wolfe and where his sand castles used to be. "... You killed my castles," he accused Wolfe.
|
"We're leaving," Wolfe stated blankly. He seemed to have retreated quite a bit back into his mind.
|
"... You don't want to stay any longer?" Raven clarified as he started to stand.
|
"I need to get back," he stated simply.
|
"... Clean yourself up a bit first," Raven suggested as he picked up his things and started walking over to the boat.
|
Wolfe ignored him as he finally got the boat into the water and climbed aboard.
|
After Raven had finished gathering everything and brought it to the boat, along with some seashells he had used to build the sandcastles, he dug through the stuff he had scavenged in the morning and pulled out a comb. He tried to hand it to Wolfe.
|
Wolfe shook him off, appearing to be in a pretty bad mood as he tried to start the boat up. It wouldn't start. Wolfe cussed as he looked over the mechanics.
|
Raven sat down and brushed some sand out of his own hair before asking quietly, "Why are you upset?"
|
Wolfe turned and gave Raven a hard stare before going back to fixing the boat.
|
Raven didn't quite seem to understand what that meant. "... Should I have woken you up?" he asked.
|
Wolfe was silent for awhile before shaking his head slightly.
|
Raven thought for another moment before trying again, "Do you just want to go back so you can get cleaned up really quick and get back to work?"
|
"Back to work?" Wolfe asked harshly after a moment, "What work?"
|
So that wasn't it. "... All the stuff you do for everyone," he tried to explain.
|
"Everyone?" Wolfe replied just as harshly.
|
Raven was silent for along moment. "... It's not your fault," he told Wolfe quietly.
|
Wolfe said nothing.
|
"... You did your best, so it's not your fault," Raven continued. "Genetically engineered or not... no one's perfect. It's not fair to yourself if you don't cut yourself a little slack every now and then."
|
"You don't understand," Wolfe replied before muttering, "You never will." He tried the engine again and this time it started.
|
"... Then try to help me understand," he told Wolfe.
|
Wolfe didn't as he guided the boat away from the beach.
|
Raven sighed a little before going back to combing his hair.
|
When the got back, Wolfe immediately walked off.
|
Raven watched him walk off before collecting his shells and picking up Wolfe's boots for him. He dropped the boots off by Wolfe's room before going to his own for a nap.
|
After about an hour, Kale went looking for Blaze.
|
No one had seen Blaze all morning.
|
So Kale poked around for awhile, seeing if he could find her.
|
She didn't seem to be anywhere. And when he knocked on Blaze's door, there was no answer.
|
Kale sighed before checking to see if the door was unlocked.
|
The door was unlocked.
|
So Kale slowly invited himself inside.
|
Blaze wasn't immediately visible, but there was a big lump under the covers.
|
Kale sighed a little, walking over to her and checking if she was asleep.
|
It wasn't clear if she was asleep or not. Only a small bit of lavender hair was peaking out from under the covers. But she didn't react as Kale walked in.
