They were finally free of the ships' graveyard. No more traversing through water and fighting ghosts. He was grateful that the others didn't press about Syldra or his secret. Lenna hadn't minded either, and that's what was important.

Lenna.

Lenna! Faris woke up with a start. Soak still, but he realized it was thanks to another reason than he had initially thought. 
He was back in the bubble. The blazing bubble! The last thing he remembered just before was Lenna falling in a trance. It was a trap! Bartz had guessed right. It was too late.

Right now, Lenna could be dead as well. Faris felt cold, sick and tired.

Both Syldra and Lenna could be gone. For good. And he was trapped at Vatheon.

The Captain gathered his composure, remembering the promise he still had to keep. Who knows how long it was since he had left. That idiot had better not being waiting as he said he would. After verifying that Demyx wasn't where Faris has last seen him, he headed for the Phanga Neighborhood.

Knocking was overated. Faris just helped himself in, knowing Demyx usually left it unlock. Later on, when he felt like it, he might make up for walking through Demyx's place while still dripping wet. Demyx liked it wet, didn't he?

Faris didn't stop moving until he came to the blond's room. He opened the door, not caring what Demyx could have been up to.

"So much for waiting, huh, mate?" Even if there was a grin, his tone of voice probably let to just host tired he was.

"Seems more fun than sunken ships." Faris and chills? Never going to happen. Most likely he would get himself in trouble with the cursed gold though.

"You're lucky I like ya." A nudge was given to Demyx in return. "And I'm still wet. Drool won't make much difference."

It took a moment for Faris to decide what to do. His hands were back on the blond's hair, petting it soothingly. Better be soaking up this attention, Demyx. This was a rare feat. "Says you. So else is eating ya?"

He stays silent for a couple minutes, opting to take in all of the attention he could get. That, and he wasn't even sure where to start. Finally, after a good ten minutes of shaking, Demyx glances up.

"...I think I lost three friends in one day when you left. I-I mean, you came back 'n all that, but one got killed an' the other, well..."

He's not acting like my friend anymore, goes unsaid.

"I used t'be able to trust him with anything but I dunno if he's joking or--or if he's serious."

[seablaze]

Faris had the best timing. Hopefully Demyx missed the guilty wince that ran across the pirate's face. "And you'll get another back in a couple days, right?" Faris wasn't sure. He hadn't had the privilege of waiting for someone.

"If he's joking or serious about..?" Purple brows were lowered as he thought over what Demyx's message.

[ninthserenade]

Instead of words, Demyx simply makes a small sound in the back of his throat that sounds suspiciously like 'uh-huh'. Death wasn't permanent here, but it didn't make things any easier when someone did bite the dust.

"...I let it slip to someone that I was gonna propose to Lea." Oddly enough, he didn't feel as if he had to hide it from Faris. He could trust the guy, right? Faris was 'family'. "'n, well... He--I-I think he might tell Lea. I wanted to do it on Valentine's Day but then everything happened 'n I haven't been in a good mood since then 'n now I gotta change those plans a-and I--I just wanna try 'n make Lea happy."

I fail

"Jus remind me not do anything daft if ya take it this bad." The best way to console someone about death, right? Faris was really at a loss over how to help. He played with the end of Demyx's mullet. A hum as he appeared to examine the length. "Ever get it cut yet?"

He was churning over his head about what sort of mate would spoil something for another. "Do I need to go shove a boot up someone's rear? Is Lea the sort to let ya know your big surprise is ruined? If it does, maybe he'll wait until the big reveal to give an answer? Either way ya won't know until it gets here. And if he tells ya no, it's not the end of the relationship. Jus' means ya have to wait longer." Maybe. If that's how this stuff works.

"I'm hardly the expert of these matters, but if he likes ya, and you like him, then make the most of what ya have. Be happy and enjoy it while you're still here."
