Emerald had gotten distracted with a book while she’d been waiting. Something that was sitting on a side table next to the sofa she was sitting on. A Chinese folk tale about dragons, something she’d heard once or twice and really loved the story. She hadn’t heard the doors open or close, so when Lola spoke, she startled Emerald a bit. Then she closed the book returning it to its place, and took to her feet. It wasn’t that things where necessarily weird between the two. But, it felt that way to Emerald. Mostly it was the woman’s fear of what Lula might have said happened last time when the girl returned home, with out Emerald… or rather at the time, without Kara. And then, Lola’s favorite cousin left with her and Lorrayna, and, well the captain wasn’t exactly sure how the other girl felt about any of it. She didn’t know if Oddball was Lola’s favorite, but it was sure apparent she and Lula was his.
The dark haired woman nodded then, “Ahh, yeah.” How was she to ask this, or say it? She didn’t even know if she’d fancy the idea in the slightest and if Lula had spoken of anything that’d happened, well, and then Emm could already guess at Lola’s answer. It’d be a big fat hell no. But, the girls’ father didn’t seem to know, so maybe Lola didn’t. But then the two were close and shared things most people couldn’t. She sighed; she’d just do it simply. She wouldn’t get lost in small talk, or dance around the question. “I don’t know how to guess you might feel, or what your answer might be. But… your sister wants more than anything to come back to Lorrayna. I’m guessing she misses it something fierce.” She stopped, and then continued with a small sigh.
“But, she wants you to come along with her. Lula refuses to go without you, and well… I talked to your father last night about it. And he said long as it was right by you, for the both of you to join the ship, and the crew, well then he’d allow it. But, would you want to?” She spoke, looking Lola in the face. Then with the last question she sound curious, Emerald didn’t even know if she’d want to leave and head into the black. It was why Emerald never even considered it the first time. Though considering the way things turned out, Emerald was glad Lola hadn’t gone with them; some how it would have made it all so much worse.
