The Cape Rouge, Port of Fandom, Monday afternoon

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."

"Whatever, forget it," Octavia huffed, though not in the good way. She shifted her bag higher up on her shoulder. "Let's just -- let's just go, okay?"

Bellamy sighed but he didn't really want to get into it.

"Fine, come on."

Without a word, and with her eyes cast down, Octavia pushed past him, towards the gangplank, with every intention of getting off the Rouge and back into town --

She didn't get more than a few steps away before she whipped back around. Maybe it was the repressed anxiety of the jail trip bubbling back up. Or maybe she just wanted to get into it.

"Why do you have to be like that?"

"Be like what?" Bellamy asked, making a face. "I made a dumb comment, Octavia. You're overreacting."

Octavia scowled hard at him. "All I wanted was to ask what you thought about the guy that loves me."

... Oh hey, breaking news.

"That's it, Bell. That was all I wanted. Instead you had to make something important to me into a joke."

"I haven't killed the guy, Octavia. What do you want from me? Effusive praise? It's not going to happen. You're overreacting to one little thing," Bellamy said, shaking his head.

"I'm not dealing with this," he told her. "You're happy, that's good. And he doesn't seem like a jerk."
okteiviakom: ([neg] unfair)

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2020-03-19 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"And you couldn't just say that?" Octavia retorted, more than a little exasperated.

Overreacting maybe just a little bit, yes.

"I just did! You stalked off before I could say anything else," Bellamy told her. "Can we just go now? I don't want to fight with you."
okteiviakom: ([neg] woe strikes)

"I'm not trying to fight you!"

The yelling was maybe giving off a slightly conflicting impression.

"You could have fooled me," he said, gesturing to her. "You're overreacting and I'm going home."

Octavia's mouth was open, clearly poised to argue it further. But she snapped it shut.

Shook her head.

"Fine. Let's just go."
