An endless cycle does not necessarily imply a 'good' one. It's very hard to see the silver lining of this cloud.
Still, we persevere. What a wonder man is.

Your Highness, I've spoken with him as requested. I can't say how much use it did, but at least we said something instead of doing nothing at all.
Were you successful in your endeavours

[He pauses for a moment.]

[Zelda laughs. Really, she doesn't do this very often anymore. Zelda used to laugh a lot, but lately things have been a little too somber to do that. And it's harder to hold the good feelings for other people in moments like that.]

I'm not surprised to hear you say that at all.

[pimp_hat]

Joo be knowin' me all too well.

[Kevas enjoys hearing her laughter. That too is another kindness that this ship has brought him.]

[oblique_wisdom]

Difficult to forget someone who's made an impression.

[Zelda's never forgotten Kevas, not for a day. She doubts she ever will.]

[pimp_hat]

Aw, now joo just be flattuhin' me.

[Not that he doesn't appreciate it.]

[oblique_wisdom]

Flattery is for people who have ulterior motives. Honesty is for people who don't know how to flatter.

[pimp_hat]

Dem be wise words liddle sistah. Wise words indeed.

[oblique_wisdom]

I wouldn't say it's factual. Do you have any wise sayings, Kevas?

[pimp_hat]

Me?

[He sits and thinks for a moment.]

Be careful of what bait joo use cause whatchu catch may not be whatchu want.

[That's wise right?]

[oblique_wisdom]

[She thinks about that, a little too seriously. It brings a lot of the concerns she has in the back of her mind to the forefront.]

That is wise.

[Zelda could make a fishing joke right about now, but she feels like she understands those words much more than she wants to.]

[pimp_hat]

[And once again, fishing saves him from looking like a complete jackass.]

I ain't just be a pretty face.

[oblique_wisdom]

You and me both, Kevas. You and me both.

[pimp_hat]

When are mons gonna learn dat just cause we be beautiful it don't mean we can take care of ouhselves?

[The troll chuckles softly.]

[oblique_wisdom]

That's something you have to show people, if you want them to know. Otherwise, you just keep it to yourself. Who doesn't like a surprise?

[pimp_hat]

I know I do. Gotta say, I be pretty good at dem by now.

[Of course his surprises aren't exactly pleasant for most people.]

[oblique_wisdom]

I'm not sure if I should be taking that as a good thing.

[She's still amused, though, so it can't be all bad.]
