[ She's more understanding than most. He still remembers standing in the same room as she tried to understand what happened with the dog -- the look burned into his gap-burned memory when she realised who Wolfwood was. Him interrupting her and counting himself out as a stranger that just looks like him before she could say something he knew he wouldn't be able to handle in that moment.
Honestly, he owes her an apology too. That's the part that sucks about being alive again, having to tread back on your goodbyes and it's all so very awkward. ]
Strictly seein' them, yeah. Looks like they settled in with the colony pretty well. Kids are glad to meet other kids and all that, you know.
[ but wolfwood is right. he at least owes it to melanie to see her, thank her, and apologize. for everything. livio ducks his head a little ]
Maybe... we could go together?
[ and maybe both of them will feel less awkward about it. he's picking up the implications here. but he doesn't want to push wolfwood too hard to interact with them. it's already a bit impudent of him to ask wolfwood to see melanie together ]
Yeah.... I'm sure the change of scenery is nice for them, too.
[ He really just assumed he would have to wrangle Livio personally over there and make him look at Melanie in the eyes. He's not letting you escape you oversized dog. ]
They seem to like it, but who wouldn't. It's clean, no cracked walls, blankets are white instead of our old-ass sand-stained ones.
[ He heard they got to see a tree for the first time in their lives because according to Hei's ship canon the Stampede tree is here. That's exciting. Wolfwood feels weird because trees were weird until they weren't in homo and now he feels like they should be weird again. ]
[ livio perks up a little bit as it's confirmed that they're going to go together, despite wolfwood planning to drag him him there to look melanie in the eye. even if she has nothing but angry words for livio (which.... he kind of thinks/fears she will), at the very least, nicholas and melanie could talk. have a nice reunion. that would be good. ]
[ and it feels less overwhelming if they go together ]
Nicer than what they're used ta.... they could even have all their own things.....
[ that is very cute and makes me emo but livio himself probably isn't aware of the tree. if he was, he might agree. ]
[ Joke's on him. Well no, Wolfwood is still reserved but he can't hide from Melanie. She already saw through him once, so even if he wants to keep it a secret from the kids for a bit longer, he's sure she'll nose at him. Something something Melanie always knew best but also genuinely has her kids' interests at heart, pulling at little Nicholas's ear for being naughty and always knowing if there was something wrong. ]
Eventually, yeah. The ship's willing to share and if they break anything, they're gonna get their asses kicked.
[ By the aunties. Me like I'm sure there's more than just Melanie but I don't have any other canon names so it's just The AuntiesTM. ]
[ neither of them can defeat melanie, she is the ultimate aunt and they cannot defy her will. all the aunties (tm) have this power, but she is the most powerful. ]
[ also which one of us is going to rp melanie if we do this kawaii reunion ]
I'm sure they know better than ta play rough.... [ or they'll learn, quickly ]
Um.... can I see the colony a little...? Is that okay?
[ this coming from captain huge mclarge assassinpants over here. oh well, wolfwood should be used to this ]
I don't want ta scare anyone....
[ he will never have confidence and you know it. but he does let himself be herded inside without complaint, though, taking a moment to gawk at well... everything. livio hasn't been to the colonies before ]

They're kids, it's the only time they can play rough... within reason.
[ Just don't go disrespecting the ship folk is all. ]
Yeah, why not? Vash invited you, so fuck off with all that. [ Have some CONFIDENCE, nerd. He gets up and gestures Livio inside. ] Get in.
