"You think...?" Ah, no. Bad Cope. Shut that line of thinking right down.
"Badbyes." Celandine agreed quietly, picking up the line of thought that she'd had earlier. She closed her eyes and remembered. It was not that it had been particularly long ago, but it had stuck with her this whole time, and while it had broken her heart to break up with Plymouth, merely saying goodbye to Copernicus had completely disintegrated it.
She blinked at her foot, almost jealous of the attention it was getting.
Stupid foot.
Celandine did not miss the look he gave her and her lp quivered a little nervously in response. "I do. Too much sometimes and not usually straight."
Thinking usually took a backseat these days.
