itp: not your face but your heart's desire

[floralingual]

[ today in the center of camp, there are a number of large antique mirrors set up. looking into one of them will show not only you, but also your heart's deepest and most desperate desire. be careful, because the people around you will be able to see it too. good luck figuring out what's going on! ]

[Joe is being corrected on one of his sword stances by this man.

. . . This seems like a perfect time to turn on the angst.]

[can hazard a guess as to who this is]

Joe-san.

[Ahim's mirror reflects her in the centre of these people, who look rather happier than in the linked photograph. Five pirates are also part of the group, including Joe. All are smiling and surrounding her with hugs]

[blue_on_deck]

Ahim--

[Pauses to look at her mirror, and then to her afterward]

[uncomfortably shifting a little. You're not supposed to know about our harem plans yet.]

If you would like to have tea, I am here. [just takes your hand]

[blue_on_deck]

Mm, Tea would be fine.

[Anything to get away from this mirror.]

[pinkaboveboard]

[tugging on your hand, but gently, so you can let go if you really want to]

[blue_on_deck]

[I'm walking with you, if slowly]

[pinkaboveboard]

[slows down to match your pace. squeezing your fingers gently]

[blue_on_deck]

You don't have to do all of this though.

[pinkaboveboard]

I would be grateful for company, but if Joe-san does not want to have tea with me, he does not have to.

[blue_on_deck]

I'll go. You didn't seem happy about what you saw either.

[pinkaboveboard]

[a little embarrassed that you know you were there]

Some days are difficult ... but I have Joe-san and the others. I will be fine.

[blue_on_deck]

[Nods a little]

[pinkaboveboard]

[let us go home]

I hope that one day Joe-san will feel the same way.

[blue_on_deck]

The same way?

That even though he has lost something precious, and he will struggle sometimes, there are still many people who care for him.
