Description
How do you thank someone for saving your life?
How can you speak to them, without feeling guilt or remorse?
Offer help as if you could ever repay the debt
Even thinking of it as a debt may make the whole situation worse or some.
And yet... Not talking to them felt somehow...wrong.
It was easy to blame the stress or exhaustion from all their work. And Bio found herself doing just that more than once.
But each time she saw Cymbeline looking tired, and opened her mouth to ask if she was ok...
The words died on her tongue
"Bio?"
"Huh?" Bio was pulled from her thoughts as Steve approached her.
"You ok?" He asked, readjusting the wooden planks in his arms. "You were kinda starring off into space."
"Oh, I was?" Bio said, looking back towards Cymbeline. But the other folk was gone, off helping with the repair work needed everywhere else. Shaking her head, she turned back to Steve. "Sorry. Yea, i'm fine. How are you?"
The green male shrugged. "Its work." He said simply.
Bio nodded. "I should get some of those planks too, if you left any." She said, adding a teasing note to her voice.
Steve shot her a smirk and turned to leave. "I didn't take all of them at once. I mean I could, but I left some for the others to help."
"Sure you did." Bio smirked back. "Big strong Steve trying to carry a house all by himself right?"
The pair chuckled, then departed.
Bio was planning on getting the wood, but when she got to the pile, her body kept moving.
She just walked, out of camp, and into the foggy marsh for some alone time.
