Stavanger Bay Shaded me on summer days

time to kick this off <3 referencing things that haven't happened yet but will, if anyone has any issues lemme know and I will edit!

And just like that, he was leaving.  She wished she could be surprised, but all she felt was... she didn't know.  Void.  She'd known where his priorities lay from the start, but having them laid before her so plainly wasn't a pleasant encounter.

She'd said a lot (I assume, because it's her) and she stood by all of it.  And now she had to pick up and move on, keeping the crew until he returned.  If he returned.

If he deserved to get them back.

Bitterly she limped along the beach.  First on her list was seeking out @Raptor.  He'd been distant lately, but he was a friend to her, and she needed to know where he was on this.  Besides... he was Smoke's.  If she was to lead, things were going to change.  She wasn't going to just be a stand in.  This ship would be hers for as long as she remained at its head, and she had some of her own ideas for how she wanted it to run.
