[Poly Entry 34:] Reporting in... finally;;

[closetpervert]

[Video:]
[The feed turns on to show a static screen with the only thing that can be heard is a man's voice cutting in and out.]

Is... -ng on? ... -ness.. .......sn't my... I'm... -ain Rita wou-- ..... hm?

[Suddenly the screen turns on to show the summoner standing on the deck with his arms held out far forward and above him. An occasional static jerk visible with cut outs here and there, but better than nothing. The little bit of the ocean seen in the back seems peaceful at the moment. A satisfied smile on his face.]

Ohh, finally. Tyr, Rita, Spencer [Static] Anyone ge--ing this~?

[ooc; Open AP to anyone on the journey and feel free to thread hop, etc and have fun! Everyone else will be open video!]

Comments

action; hee~<33

[closetpervert]

[The summoner glanced over his shoulder and gave a small smile.] Aa, it truly is. Though I suppose we should be grateful that it even works at all.

[He briefly looked back at his screen while holding it up when Luke made his comment. His own expression becoming a bit somber to the thought, Klarth slowly lowered his arms as he softly agreed.]

Aa... [So, he was getting antsy, was he? He could definitely empathize there. Klarth walked over to where Luke was and leaned against the rail to stare out as well.]

The journey's just begun. There's no need to rush. Lose our cool now and we won't be prepared to seize it when the opportunity arises. [He tried to console.]

Don't lose faith and believe in your crew.

action; sorry this is late ;;

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's nice to know how things are going in the City.

[Luke rests his arms on the banister. He isn't expecting Klarth to keep him company like that, or offer him the consolation usually meant for leaders. He straightens and blinks at the summoner, and then a little blush creeps across his cheeks. He ducks his head and smiles in embarrassment.]

You're right. Sorry for being so impatient. I still have a long ways to go after all.

action; no worries at all! <333

[closetpervert]

[Ah, it's nice being young, he thought to himself with a smile as he watched Luke blush. Full of energy and determination. Good qualities to have, especially for one who wishes to be a leader.]

Nah, you're doing fine. I'm not one to speak either. [He softly admitted. Perhaps he was telling himself not to rush more than anything.]

Keep up the good work. Your light is what will pull us through.

[He gave the boy a pat on the shoulder.]

[Luke doesn't think he has what it takes to be a leader. There's no way he can stand alone. They've only come this far because he knows his weaknesses and can depend on others. He's worried that he won't live to see the end of the trip, and he's worried that he'll screw up and someone will get hurt, and he's worried about this and that...

But...

How can he keep those doubts in his heart with so many people depending on him, too? He watches Klarth, confused and a little intimidated by the implications of those words.]

My... light?

[Does his name really mean anything?]

action;

[closetpervert]

[Of course, it was meant to be figurative but seeing that confused look on the boy's face, he weakly smiled back.]

That spirit of yours will keep everyone together is what I meant.

[His cheeks pinken somewhat. Maybe he has to earn the meaning along with the name.]

... Thanks, but I think it's everyone together that keeps me going, most of the time.

[Even as he says it, there's a little sunbeam in his smile.]

action;

[closetpervert]

[Humble. He couldn't help smile back to that now, could he?]

Give yourself more credit, Luke.

[He stretched out a bit.]

Hmm~ now then, shall we get something to eat? [Though someone else will be making the dessert this time, Luke;;]

action;

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

[Humble or just lacking confidence?] Hahah, maybe...

[He looks down at his rather exposed stomach.]

Sounds good to me. I don't remember the last time I ate.
