As tempting as it was to just stay in their little vacation bubble at sea, Duke and Octavia did have things to do back in Fandom now that the school break was over, so the Cape Rouge chugged back into port in the late afternoon to dock at her usual slip.

It was immediately beset by porgs.

"Alright, alright," Duke said, a laugh underlining the exaggerated annoyed tone of his voice. "I know, I know, how dare I exile you from your homes. I'm a cruel, cruel man."

Every story in her life was a weird story.

Octavia wasn't looking at him as she shrugged a little. "He was giving Duke grief, practically like it was all his fault," she said, her voice utterly mild but also a little quieter now. "So I punched him."

A pause - and she really wasn't looking at him now.

"And he arrested me."

"What??" Bellamy gave her a look and then sighed, shaking his head. "He arrested you because you took a swing at him? Octavia, come on."

That could have ended really badly.

"I didn't," Bellamy agreed before nodding. "Yeah, sure, show me your boat. Let's see what it's like."

Octavia's panic when it had happened said it had already ended badly.

But she wasn't going to say that.

"He was being a dick to Duke," she replied, finally looking up at him. "That's why he arrested me. The punch was an excuse."

"I'm a dick to everyone, Octavia but I don't go around punching them no matter how much I want to because that's..."

He sighed.

"That could have ended really badly."

"So, you could live on this thing for awhile if you wanted to?" Bellamy guessed.

"You don't think I know that?"

She was the one who'd been in prison for a year. But there was no heat in her voice: if anything, she sounded resigned.

And then her voice dropped into a murmur. "Duke wouldn't have left me to rot."

"Tavi?" That's a new one. "Haven't heard her called that before. But no, she didn't really tell me."

"I didn't say he would but — " Bellamy trailed off and sighed. "What if he couldn't get you out?"

okteiviakom: ([neu] no duh)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"He would've gotten me out," Octavia replied, a little more vehemently this time.

She said it like there hadn't been any other option.

Possibly because she couldn't consider the possibility that there had been.

"Why a boat, though?" he wondered. "Not afraid it'll sink?"

"You can say that now because he did but you don't know that," Bellamy told her, shaking his head. "You're an adult, you can make your choices but that was a stupid one."

Said the king of stupid choices.

"I used to worry about the Ark falling out of the sky when I was a kid but..." He shrugged. "Never really got a chance to have the ocean make sense to me so I can't relate."

okteiviakom: ([neu] challenge)
From: [personal profile] okteiviakom
"Well, it already happened," Octavia said, with a little scowl that was still on the mild side. "And I already paid for it. We both did."

She'd seen how much it had freaked Duke out when Nathan had dragged her away.

He scowled and then sighed. There was nothing to be done about it now, was there?

"Are you okay? Is he?"

"You ever been on one?" Bellamy asked. "Here or anywhere else?"

Octavia's expression smoothed back into something mild, but still soft. "We're both fine, Bel," she said. "We had a few days to just... calm down."

She was going to have so many jail cell themed nightmares, though. She already knew it.

"How long were you actually in jail?" Bellamy asked. "How long did it take him to get you out?"

So Bellamy could judge him.

"Galactic rebellion?" Well, someone has an interesting friend. "Only rebellion I've participated in is one back home. Wasn't galactic though. Just planetwide or close to it."
