❛ not before now --- which i’m sure might sound surprising ... or maybe even depressing. ❜ an honesty imparted upon korine is tinged with something blended in hue --- part pride, part flush. ❛ it used to make me a bit sad, but these days, i’m happy to say that i’ve gotten pretty lucky. ❜ she chances a glance she braves to lock in, and implores with ambiguous curiosity.

when do you gaze at your soulmate?
when they don't see you. you love them and you're not sure they know. but that's okay. you're used to loving more than you are loved. you give more than is given. and maybe others don't understand but you don't expect more. you tell yourself the love in your heart is not meant to be savored by anyone other than you. it's more than enough to get to exist at the same time as them. you stand in their shadow and you thank the sun for casting it. they touch your arm but they do not feel the same warmth which lingers on your skin for days. you gaze at them and they might even be looking right back but they are not seeing into your soul the same way you have memorized theirs. it's enough you tell yourself. it's enough. it's enough. but what if it's not? and what if you're wrong. what if they see you and all this time you have been too scared to ask what they're looking at.

he begins to speak and momentarily, korine wishes that she had joined faye in her casino escapade. poker — or gambling in general — wasn’t her strong suit but it was certainly better than whatever conversation spike hoped to inspire her to. sob story ... ? he really did lack manners.
while korine was all too aware that merely minding her own business ( biding her time, really ) wasn’t enough to keep her on the ship she also hadn’t expected him to speak on it so quickly. all the other’s seemed to have accepted her presence much faster.
in fact ... they all had began to grow on her tremendously despire her short time aboard. faye, with her past cut away felt like a step closer to normalcy that perhaps korine would be able to replicate. ed served as a reminded that she wasn’t alone in her search. and jet ... well, jet was simply a mystery still. one that they both seemed equally uninterested in unraveling.
a long moment passes as she finally decides to look up and towards him, her cards abandoned for now. the squeaking fan he had yet to fix filling the silence as she decides to take her time responding. “ ... is this your way of asking for money? ” not like she had an abudence of it, just like everyone other lost soul on the ship, but unlike the other’s she held no particular attachment to what she did have. however: korine wouldn’t let him get what he wanted so easily. “ say please. ” the smile absent from her lips clearly shining in her eyes as she continues to observe him. whatever spike was truly trying to get at would have to wait — either until she was in the mood or he backed her into a corner.
@higans
the fans are loose, spike groans to himself, watching the way the blades wobble and creak precariously above his seat. another repair, another stack of woolongs drained from his account, another straw on the proverbial camel's back. it's enough that bounty heads have been far-and-few between recently. too many hunters and not enough heads. and it's enough that his ship has somehow become a safe house, adding three more uninvited mouths to feed in the blink of an eye.
he's at least afforded a moment of respite. faye skipped off to the nearest casino, apparently stricken with terrible boredom. ( what she does with her money isn't any of his business as long as she doesn't touch his. ) ed and ein trailed after her, as they are wont to do. and jet—patient, tentative jet—has been holed up in his corner of the ship obsessing over the health and wellness of his stupid little bonsai trees, whose leaves have apparently been dropping like flies. it's how spike found himself idle, and unoccupied, and sitting in the living room staring at the ceiling with the ship's newest tenant.
spike could probably count on his hands the number of times korine, koko as ed affectionately insisted, has spoken to him from the moment ed walked her onto the ship like it was her own. she either had a story she didn't want to tell, or there was no story at all. or maybe she just hated him, given the way she avoided eye contact and brushed past him like he never existed.
or perhaps she's just as lost and clueless as the rest of them, adrifting without an anchor, but unfortunately lost and clueless doesn't pay the bills, put food on the table, or cover annoying ship repairs. seemingly all at once, spike's internal monologuing comes to a head, and in his frustration he frowns, straightening abruptly to look up at her. she hasn't so much as startled, hasn't bothered to look up at him from the playing cards she shuffles deftly in her hands; even now, she's so bafflingly unperturbed.
" so.... " he starts, shifting in his seat and clearing his throat. " if you're not here to rob us or kill us, what are you hanging around for? " this isn't a charity, he almost adds before thinking better of it. between the two of them, his voice is nearly too loud, and he's too aware of the tinny way it echoes through the silence. " or if you've got some kind of sob story, i can tell you right now you're not the only one. "

❛ i’m okay, just overwhelmed. in a good way. ❜
– @higans
❛ are you sure? you were shaking a bit. ❜ fingers continue to wander, to touch, to press against korine in every sensitive spot thana can remember. their smile is like a snake; devouring the sight of her, melting. the concern is genuine, but the overstimulation was intentional. they press a kiss to her lips, then her shoulder. (a few bites here and there on the way.) ❛ just teasing. say the word and we’ll take a break. ❜ they give her a moment to contemplate while fingers find their destination, continuing to tease. it’s almost like they’re waiting for her to beg instead.

❝ you’re awful calm about it. ❞
❝ don’t pretend you do this because you care. ❞
❝ you take bullets like a champ and don’t whine about it. ❞
❝ don’t beat yourself up. i would’ve done the same thing. ❞
❝ i wanna do what you do. i wanna be just like you. ❞
❝ listen to what i’m saying. you know in your heart i’m right. ❞
❝ you stared down your demons, and you…you conquered them. ❞
❝ you’re incredible, and you make me want to be a better person. ❞
❝ i’m strong enough, and i can do this! ❞
❝ i should have prepared you better. your life has been soft and painless. ❞
❝ that’s the tricky part of the job, balancing what you wanna do, with what you need to do. ❞
❝ i’m still working on my one-liners, but that one is really bad. ❞
❝ do you want to talk about yesterday? you look like you need to talk about yesterday. ❞
❝ i didn’t…i didn’t mean to hit you so hard. i’m sorry. ❞
❝ hey, don’t walk away from me. ❞
❝ no, i don’t trust you. not anymore. you broke that. ❞
❝ it’s natural to doubt yourself, but if you can push through that, and do what needs to be done, you’ll do just fine. ❞
❝ what the hell has gotten into you? ❞
❝ what’s dumb is how long i’ve been putting up with your bullshit. ❞
❝ i’m actually getting used to this a little. ❞
❝ okay. i guess that still counts as a landing. ❞
❝ don’t try to change the subject. ❞
❝ everyone else is fine. concerned about you, but fine. ❞
❝ i feel gross. i’m taking a shower. ❞
❝ don’t try to talk. you’re going to be okay. you’re safe now. ❞

❝ i don’t think you’re ready. ❞
❝ i thought it might have been a dream…i wish it were. ❞
❝ i wouldn’t be able to live with myself if i didn’t make things as right as they can be. ❞
❝ look, if this is too much, just say so. ❞
❝ i can’t begin to explain the devastation, the pain…the loss. ❞
❝ this is what i want. you and me, here. together. ❞
❝ you don’t still have a concussion or something you haven’t told me about, do you? ❞
❝ pathetic. this battle is beneath me. there is no honor in killing insects. ❞
❝ you’re just gonna keep prying if i’m evasive at all, so, um…i’m scared. ❞
❝ does that make you feel strong? to know i can’t physically make you do something? ❞
❝ honey, it’s the middle of the night. ❞
❝ sometimes, i forget how beautiful this planet can be. ❞
❝ my apologies. didn’t mean to scare. ❞
❝ how could someone who promised to keep us safe, to protect us against any threat, become that threat? ❞
❝ a little trust goes a long way. actions go further. ❞
❝ can we do that again? start over? ❞
❝ i haven’t figured out anything. i don’t know who i am, who i’m supposed to be… ❞
❝ i didn’t want to do it…but it had to be done. ❞
❝ i love you, man, but i need someone else to talk to. ❞
❝ i came out here because i needed to start over, but that doesn’t mean ignoring the world when it needs me. ❞
❝ it’s like i’m hollow inside. nothing seems real. ❞
❝ i know you’re not okay, but do you want to talk about it? ❞
❝ okay, stop. enough with the sulking, you big baby. ❞
❝ i got everything i ever wanted, and i messed it all up. ❞
❝ you have no idea how much i needed to hear you say that. ❞
❝ you still feel something’s wrong. don’t you? ❞
❝ from the sounds of it, i’m the one who should be apologizing. ❞
❝ who do you think they’re gonna believe? me or you? ❞
❝ demons know evil when they see it. ❞
❝ you’re ruining my childhood, and that’s hard because it already sucked. ❞
❝ if we can die and any time, we can drink at any time. ❞
❝ can we…talk about something else? ❞
❝ fly away, or take the stairs. i really don’t give a shit. ❞
❝ i’ve been an asshole, and i’m sorry i didn’t realize that sooner, but that all stops today. ❞
❝ huh. that is a strangely non-specific story. ❞
❝ mistakes were made, but everything’s back on track. ❞
❝ i feel like i’m standing on the edge of a cliff, and i’m the only one of us who can’t fly. ❞
❝ you’ve been talking about home. you never talk about home. ❞
❝ i don’t know if i could do that. leave everything behind. ❞
❝ and what if the greatest me isn’t enough? ❞
❝ you’re hiding something from me, and it hurts. ❞
❝ i’ve heard so much about you. ❞
❝ you expect me to worship you because of it. ❞
❝ you’ve been distant, annoyed at everything, and you’ve been mean. ❞
❝ along the way, you’re gonna need to do things you don’t want to do, or might not think you can do. ❞
❝ first thing: stay out of sight unless something goes wrong. ❞
❝ as much as i’d love to help with your very special crisis, i’ve got my own crap to deal with now. ❞
❝ look, i screwed up. i know i did, i just…i just, i don’t know why i keep doing this. ❞
❝ i take back everything i said about you before, and i said a lot. ❞
❝ or what? are you threatening me? ❞
❝ we have…responsibilities that normal humans don’t. ❞
❝ try to hit me. ❞
❝ after everything they’ve done, how can i possibly live up to all that? ❞
❝ i’m more like you. i’m nothing special. ❞
❝ you barely remember anything you don’t see in the mirror every morning. ❞
❝ if you really wanna do what i do, you have to be prepared for anything. ❞
❝ don’t look down…stop looking down! ❞
❝ if you’re up for it, i’ll make some time tomorrow for training. ❞
❝ i…had a pretty interesting day. ❞
❝ no, you don’t! i know you think i can’t do this! ❞
❝ it wasn’t too much, i could take the pain. ❞
❝ how’s everyone else? or was i the only loser who got the shit kicked out of them? ❞
❝ i thought you two hated each other with the burning fury of a thousand suns. ❞
❝ every time i try to be a hero, i just make things worse. ❞
❝ you said that you wanted to start over. you said that. you promised. ❞
❝ i know it’s hard to love someone when they don’t seem to love you back. ❞
❝ make the world you wanna live in. ❞
❝ i’m not here to help. just here to make sure you don’t get hurt. ❞
❝ shut it! i feel dirty even talking to you. ❞
❝ i’ve faced death more times than i can count, but i’ll be damned if that didn’t put my balls in my throat. ❞
❝ make sure you get a good night’s sleep. ❞
❝ i’ve never done anything that hard in my life. ❞
❝ you’ve had it rough, you know, but you’ve really pulled yourself together. ❞
❝ you got a problem with a demon? i thought you were an atheist. ❞
❝ don’t make me get the spray bottle. ❞
❝ the world was fine before i came along. it’ll be fine without my help. ❞
❝ i wasn’t ready before. now i am. ❞
❝ i covered for you. told them you got hit by a bus which, by the looks of you, isn’t far off. ❞
❝ forget this. we did our best, and we won. ❞
❝ i’m twenty minutes late, but there’s no way you’re gonna be mad at me. ❞
❝ one nightmare scenario is enough to worry about right now. ❞
❝ that’s not blood on you, is it? ❞
❝ do you need a replay on what happened last time, ass? ❞
❝ i never thought i would have a family, and then you came along, and i love you so much. ❞
❝ oh, ‘out’. every woman’s favourite destination for a romantic evening. ❞
❝ hell, last time you sprained your back. ❞
❝ one day, it seems like you have all the time in the world, and then the next…it’s gone. ❞
❝ kill that one and move on! ❞
❝ i’m happy you’re awake. your recovery was…tenuous at times. ❞
❝ just got…a lot on my mind, i guess. ❞
❝ what are you thinking? you look ridiculous. ❞
❝ i need something to punch. ❞
❝ iit changed my life. i know it changed yours, too. ❞
❝ you make me sound like a monster. ❞

❝ you are big and strong, aren’t you? ❞
❝ i know you’re crazy about me. ❞
❝ i can take it from here. too dangerous for you. ❞
❝ we’re gonna be fine. we’ll get out of this. ❞

❝ um…thanks for saving my butt back there. ❞
❝ i’m here for you. whatever you need. you wanna talk, i’ll listen. ❞
❝ i don’t know who you are, but it’s time to go. ❞

❝ please, don’t waste any more of my time. ❞
❝ i said, no. you’re still injured. ❞
❝ trust you? how could i possibly trust you now? ❞
❝ every date should feel like a first date. ❞
❝ i understand what it’s like for the world to look at you and see one thing, never knowing the truth of what’s inside. ❞
❝ look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power. ❞
❝ this isn’t your world. it’s theirs. ❞
❝ you saved him…so much effort, for what? ❞
❝ there’s a lot of things i thought i knew about you. ❞
❝ you’re terrified of me, aren’t you? ❞
❝ this is my home and i won’t let you destroy it. ❞
❝ we can finally do what we were meant to do. be who we were meant to be. ❞

❝ someone’s controlling you! tell me how to stop them! ❞
❝ what happens out there, the mistakes, even the victories, you can’t bring it home. ❞
❝ didn’t mean to offend. nuance of human conversation is difficult for me. ❞
❝ never get invited. show up anyway. ❞
❝ it’s a rare, lucky few of us who find someone who understands our path, even rarer if they accept it. ❞
❝ no matter what threat i faced, i knew i wasn’t facing it alone. ❞
❝ get out! before i send you back to hell myself. ❞
❝ you don’t seem to understand. earth isn’t yours to conquer. ❞
❝ i love you, but, man, sometimes, you’ve got a screw loose. ❞
❝ i already told you everything i remember. ❞
❝ this is why i have always hated you. ❞
❝ everyone you know and love will be gone before you even look 30. ❞
❝ hold on, i just wanna…i wanna talk! ❞
❝ sometimes people aren’t who they appear to be. ❞
❝ this is your life now. this is what you do. ❞
❝ could you define ‘not that tough’? ❞
❝ admirable intention, but i am not positive we can handle this. ❞
❝ it’s okay. it’s okay, i’m here. are you hurt? ❞
❝ i’d say i’d see you in hell, but there’s a worse place waiting for you. ❞
❝ we gave people time to escape. that’s what matters. ❞
❝ your voice is like music. i hang on every word. ❞
❝ your stubborness against the inevitable killed those people. ❞
❝ you tread on dangerous ground, my friend. ❞
❝ did seeing that man lose his life disturb you? ❞
❝ how does it feel to save the world? ❞
❝ stop, please. i’m not here to fight. ❞
❝ you don’t understand the choices i have to make. ❞
❝ i’m not an idiot. i know when someone’s lying. ❞
❝ oh…you’re…you’re out for revenge. ❞
❝ how many more need to die? it’s up to you. ❞
❝ you can’t do this hero bullshit on your own. ❞
❝ am i important to you? it really doesn’t feel like it. ❞
❝ you only see good and evil. black and white. ❞
❝ ithat was amazing, but also the scariest thing i’ve ever seen. ❞
❝ it’s kind of like peeing your pants on purpose. ❞
❝ i did actually help people. not sure how grateful they were, but whatever. ❞
❝ please don’t lose interest in me while i’m gone. ❞
❝ when you start a sentence with ‘i think’, you murder 90% of the romance in it. ❞
❝ it’s all i ever wanted for as long as i remember. ❞
❝ you wanna be a hero, right? fame, glory, get the pretty gal? ❞
❝ kids your age think they’re invincible and it holds them back, makes them careless. ❞
❝ don’t you do enough for the world? ❞
❝ i can’t imagine what you’re going through. ❞
❝ it’ll be worth the wait to see me on my best behavior. ❞
❝ i’m wasting my potential here. i could so so much more. ❞
❝ you said you wanted to tell me months ago, but you’re still not telling me now. ❞
❝ oh, i know. you’re confused, but you’re used to that. ❞
❝ no, no, what about you? ❞
❝ all human failings are simply engineering challenges crying out to be solved. we’re machines, and the sooner we recognize that, the sooner we’ll reach our true potential. ❞
❝ once again, it seems you have an opinion to share? ❞
❝ you can’t save the world. it’s gonna get you killed. ❞
❝ huh. i thought you’d try and talk me out of it. ❞
❝ i don’t want to lie to you, but i don’t want to tell you the truth either. ❞
❝ lots of people are going to tell you how to use your powers, but it’s up to you to make these decisions. ❞
❝ if i didn’t know better, i’d say you’re trying to get rid of me. ❞
❝ that…sounds like a commitment to a second date? ❞
❝ i’m a little jumpy. maybe you can understand that. ❞
❝ don’t you dare shush me. ❞
❝ i’m sorry. i must have pinched a nerve. i forget how soft humans are. ❞
❝ never seen anything like this. ❞
❝ it’s impressive, but, like, who needs that many rooms? ❞
❝ when in doubt, throw them into space. ❞
❝ i want to see fear in your eyes. ❞
❝ i think you might have skipped a few steps. ❞
❝ i mean, can a person even have an eight pack? ❞
❝ you make it sound like i am obsessed or something. ❞
❝ haven’t you earned a day off? ❞

"Human! What is the meaning of this word?! What is this updog!?" / sebek
maybe she should help him. maybe she should take pity and not let poor, poor sebek run around naive and helpless, only for someone else to take advatange of his lack of knowledge. but maybe he shouldn't be shouting so loudly when she's only just woken up from her nap. ‘ who knows. ask cater. ’
