❝ don't ever fuck with me i can write you pregnant ❞

// i miss this freak i need to use him more often [i say as i proceed to not use him]

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- mind. ❞

he said, side eyeing the man momentarily before looking back at the machine. he then began to type a few words onto the paper, sliding it back into place once he's done.

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

he glanced over to the stranger for a short period of time, before looking back at the typewriter while tapping his bottom lip with his pen. a sigh escaped from his mouth, as he sets the pen down next to the table.

❝ . . . feel free to stay if you would like to. i don't -

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- bluntly, looking back at the typewriter before going back to what he was doing before. he really didn't want to be bothered while he's working, so he's hoping that the stranger will go away soon enough.

halim, on the other hand, was seen biting on one end of his pen while staring at the typewriter before him. he glanced over to the notebook he had beside him momentarily, before looking back at the machine. by the looks of it, he's struggling to convey what he had in mind onto -

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- the novel he was writing. or, well, in other words, he's having a writer's block.

upon hearing a voice whom he doesn't recognize, he looked over his shoulder before locking gaze with the stranger.

❝ hm . . . ? oh, i'm just working on a novel. ❞

he replied rather -

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

// i could do any of my bookmarks... NAAAAHHHH they prolly forgot about it too

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

// i fall to the floor dramatically. i need to be more active on this account

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

@marianchinotto ❝ . . . ? yeah, that's her. what's wrong? ❞

he turned his head over to the other, a concerned look is visible on his face.

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

he listened to her explanation, nodding slightly every once in a while.

❝ i see. well, to be quite honest with you, im somewhat in the same position as you are. i don't know how i got here — nor what this place is. ❞

he said, glancing over to marian then looking back.

@WAR_N0VEL1ST —Marian nodded, the slight twists of her hair following suit.— “I.. I do not know how I ended up here. I have no idea at all.. “ —Despite the fact she was not raising her voice, it was filled to the brim with worry, worry, worry. Her mind rumbled with unanswered questions &—

- read before setting them back down. he may not understand the mission she was assigned to, but it couldn't be that serious, could it?

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

❝ that's fair, but still. you shouldn't think too much about this mission. miss timekeeper wouldn't be happy if you showed up with no energy, would she? ❞

he replied in a gentle tone, setting down the mug and walking over to the reports. he picked them up, giving it a quick -

“I’m… not sure if I can simple forget or leave it alone. I’ve never had this much free time before a mission.”

She placed a hand over her heart, a pang of guilt similar to when she was waiting for Vertin to wake up— just seemingly indefinite… waiting.

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- a while. ❞

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

❝ well . . . ❞

he paused for a moment, giving it some thought. what should he do in a situation like this? he tapped his mug, his eyes darting around before landing right back at the other.

❝ i suppose ill just not give it some thought. ill simply forget about it for -

[𝒮𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓉𝓉𝑜 🖋️ 𝒜𝓁𝒸𝑜𝒹𝒶 @segnoalcoda]

Halim was right, and Sonetto knew logically it was a ridiculous notion… but the heart and mind were two very distinct things.

“Yes,… I suppose you’re right,” the girl sighed as she took another sip of the coffee, “Still, it feels … wrong to rest like this…”

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- sure that she doesn't see you as unreliable. she's a good person, there's no way in hell would she thinks of you that way. ❞

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

❝ a week? that should be enough time for you to relax for a bit, no? you're still young, you shouldn't torture yourself over some mission. ❞

he spoke up, taking his time to listen to what she has to say next.

❝ i may not know miss timekeeper that well, but im -

[𝒮𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓉𝓉𝑜 🖋️ 𝒜𝓁𝒸𝑜𝒹𝒶 @segnoalcoda]

“The mission is to explore the Aegean Sea for an island left untouched by The Storm… We don’t set sail for another week or so, so I’m using my time to study the region for any and all potential situations but—“

Her statement trailed off, looking a bit crestfallen.

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

- get some rest, while he's not taking any himself. he has a bad habit of putting others before him — so much so that he often neglects his own well-being just for the sake of others.

❝ what is the mission about, if you don't mind me asking? ❞

[—‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘛𝘏𝘌‎ ‎ ‎ 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘋‎ ‎ ‎ @WAR_N0VEL1ST]

❝ i see. well, when is your mission going to take place? it's really late right now, you should be getting some rest if you can, miss sonetto. ❞

he replied, taking another sip of his coffee while taking a glance at the reports. how ironic, it's telling someone he just met to -

[𝒮𝑜𝓃𝑒𝓉𝓉𝑜 🖋️ 𝒜𝓁𝒸𝑜𝒹𝒶 @segnoalcoda]

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mister Halim,” she greeted with a small bow before her eyes drifted back to the reports, “… Actually, I’ve already read these reports five times over.”

Sonetto hadn’t even looked at the time, but being approached like this meant it was late.
