☄- Killian listening to Leshii
“…N’ she’s gettin’ older, y’know? ‘s hard enough ‘ta eat eggs now, what happens when she’s layin’ ‘em?”
Another night comes and goes with the dwarf invading the captain’s cabin, wasted off her secret stash and mumbling about her daughter. She may have mentioned just how comfortable she was bringing this matter up with him before, but little could prepare the captain for her not-infrequent visits.
“She doesn’t mind eatin’ eggs… kinda weird ‘ta me… I think she knows where they come from, aye?”
Splayed out on his floor, her words formed of eternally anxious love were carried on a chariot of spicy rum-breath. As the night drags on, more and more of her flasks’ contents spilled onto her chest. There was always that break point- the time when she couldn’t sip, simply pouring her booze over her face and hoping it lands in her open mouth. This was about that time.
“D’ya like eggs, chief? I don’t. Not since I started thinkin’ about it.”
Per usual Killian doesn’t get much of a chance to speak, and the words spoken in those quiet moments often drifted right through her empty skull. Maybe it was just the opportunity to speak with someone- ANYONE who could understand the troubles of parenthood that brought her here. Somehow in the mix she favored Killian’s ears over most.
Thanks, @zaderick !
