@cptbonnetā sent a message in a bottle:Ā ā Ā just let me look at you for a little bit. Ā ā // at lucius, no bc if u donāt think he is panicked post season before he finds lucius and has him safe againā¦ /Ā ITāS ALL ABOUT THE YEARNING.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā HEāS A LITTLE SURPRISED.Ā sure, being tossed overboard was just a wee bit traumatic, but he survived it fine. itās not like heās the only one on this crew to have unspeakably horrible && decidedly fatalĀ things happen to him while walking away without barely a scratch. since then, heās just been hiding out ā but then again, almost no one knowsĀ that, do they? as far as stedeās concerned, he died. tossed overboard && left to drown. so even in his confusion, as the captain grasps his upper arms && holds him there, looking at him critically && intently until heās certain lucius is alright, he just sort of stands there && lets it happen.
there are worse things, lucius figures, then having someone who cares about you.
āuh, captain,ā he finally says, when he feels like this has stretched on long enough,Ā āwhile iām normally quite alright being looked at, iām understandably not feeling very prettyĀ at the moment && iām starting to get a little freaked out here, so can you, uhāā he gently removes himself from stedeās iron grip.Ā āiām fine. see? all good.ā
