Hide you from what?

OMG, your brilliant and cute are about to destroy me.

[intimacyphobic]

... My sins.

\o\

[lilstndrdpckge]

'S there somethin' ya' did wrong? Ya' seem like a nice ol' lady.

[intimacyphobic]

Everything. I've done everything wrong.

And you... such a kind and blind child...

Sweet like my son...

[lilstndrdpckge]

I'm pretty damn sure that I'm not blind, Lady. Just got my eyes checked last week. But thanks fer th' compliment, Suga'.

[intimacyphobic]

Not eyes... heart... naive...

[lilstndrdpckge]

[Right. Over. His. Head.]

So...?

[intimacyphobic]

So... so that is that.

[That's okay, her train of thought derailed miles ago.]

Is this... this is a ship, yes?

[lilstndrdpckge]

That's what I've been told. Think it's a load a shit, though.

[intimacyphobic]

Load of... It's untrue?

Then my senses lie? I see ocean, ocean all around leaving us tiny, floating... in the madness of eternity.
