Molly glared Sun down with an almost bloodthirsty stare. Normally she would play along with that kind of naivete and optimism but the way he flippantly ignored what she was trying to explain to maintain his fantasy was increasingly grating on her. Someone like him would never understand things beyond the black and white- the fact the confidently cited movies as a reliable source of information solidified that in her mind. “Hey! If I just let her go off on her own thing could have been even worse!” Ivory says half defensively and half in a panic. “Besides, did you forget the part where Molly says Robin will kill us if he finds us first? Sun, this means you too! He’s not going to ask for your story. He’s just going to slaughter us and sort it out later. The only one who might be safe is Molly. Even if the Major shows up bare minimum we’re getting arrested.” Molly jolts up and starts walking to the door. “Your turn to talk to brick walls, Ivory. I’m going for a walk.” She was done dealing with this for now. Maybe finding that Major and being arrested was the safest path. Violet just shakes her head. She still didn’t know if her uncle could even come look for them, but bare minimum her mom and dad wouldn’t take this sitting down. Perhaps she should have listened and stayed home while they sorted it out. She turned to Sun instead. “My uncle is an Atlas Major. If he tries to look for us, we could be safe. I’m wondering if my parents might come with him…” “No, you could be safe. Violet, Sun…. I don’t expect you to understand this, but if we run into anyone who isn’t Jade, Molly and I are leaving the first chance we get. Don’t try to stop us- especially not Molly.”



“Worse than getting murdered?!” Sun shouted before Molly had gotten up to leave. He had completely ignored her glare, only locking eyes with Ivory. However, he does retract a bit at her question. “… Actually, yeah, I may have forgotten that part….” He just wanted an easy solution, why did this have to be so complicated and… deadly? He glanced over to Molly as the girl walked past to the door and his tail drooped again to hang listlessly.



Sun was so confused and conflicted. He had always kept things simple and it worked out just fine. But now…. Now they had to maneuver around who they could trust and he was getting increasingly anxious at the negativity in the room. Just because they were on a boat didn’t mean they were safe from Grimm. “You’re right. I don’t understand.” He looks to Ivory with eyes full of hurt and confusion and worry. He shakes his head slowly, trying to think of words. “I really don’t. I… I just want to help keep my friends safe. I want people to have their family back. I don’t want to leave anyone else behind. If there was a way to get Robin back to Violet and her family, and for you and Molly to find a new home with people who love you and don’t tell you to kill your friends, then that’s what I want to do. And I’m not going to give up hoping that it’s possible. … I’m not giving up on you, Ivy.”

It was hurting too much to keep looking at her, so he turns back to the door. “I’m gonna go get some air.” He turns his head over his shoulder but keeps his eyes lowered and adds, “Try to stay positive. Grimm can swim, too,” before heading out of the room.
