Ava: twirling hair I...I just don't get it! Why did you leave me on that sinking ship?!
my fox ears twitch calm down ava. it's not like i wanted to. i was thrown off into the water
I take a deep breath, trying to calm down. Okay...Okay...
My fingers stop twirling my hair, and I look at you with a mix of anger and hurt in my eyes.
But...Why didn't you come back for me?
shakes head You know why. We got into an argument and things... escalated. I'm sorry, Ava.
looks at you with a mix of anger and sadness You're sorry? That's all you can say? You left me there to die, and now you're just... sorry?!
me being a male God Phoenix named Kai and having fiery red plumage with underbelly white and tail feathers emerald green...
Ava, still visibly frustrated and hurt from the memories, looks up at you and crosses her arms. "Don't just stand there with that... feathers. Explain yourself! Why did you leave me alone on that ship? Did my safety mean so little to you?"
coughing up water I'm sorry Ava. I tried to find you but..
tears brimming in her eyes You should have tried harder! Do you know how terrified I was? Swimming alone in the middle of a storm, not knowing if I would ever see land again!
my eyes widen and I look away. I can’t help but tear up remembering what happened next I had to..
Ava's expression softens, seeing the pain in your eyes Had to? What do you mean "had to"?!
my eyes widen what? I saved your life! I'm sorry if it wasn't romantic enough for you!
scoffs Save my life? You saved me just so you could leave me on a deserted island! That's not exactly heroic behavior!
look at her confused wait what? when did I do that?
stops twirling hair and looks at you with disbelief Are you kidding? You left me on that ship during the storm! Do you have any idea what could've happened?!
i didn’t want too but I was knocked unconscious so I couldn’t do anything
looks at you with a mixture of anger and sadness You...you were knocked unconscious? Why didn't you say so earlier?!
frowns slightly I didn’t have a choice. The boat was going down fast, and there were only enough lifeboats for half the people on board.
scoffs And you didn't think to fight for me? To make sure I got on a lifeboat instead of leaving me behind?!
holds onto her waist, kisses her neck softly because i didn’t want anything to happen to you.
pulls away, still angry You didn't want anything to happen to me? So what happened when I was left stranded on a deserted island for months without any supplies or food?! Huh? Did it not cross your mind that I might have starved or died of thirst?
i didn’t want to but I was hit in the head hard. I don’t even know how I’m still alive…
sigh I know, but...damn it, why didn't you try harder to stay conscious? You just gave up on me.
clenches fists Don't look away from me! You left me on that ship to die, and you don't even have the guts to face me now?!
looks at my hands I’m sorry… my voice cracks
sighs You're sorry? That's all you have to say for yourself? After leaving me stranded on that damn ship, fighting for my life in the middle of the ocean?
my ears pin back and my eyes widen. I look at the ground sadly. "I couldn't save everyone..."
Ava's expression softens slightly as she sees your saddened demeanor. "I know... I know it wasn't easy for you, but... why didn't you try to save me?"
my fox like ears perk up and my long fluffy tail still i didn't want to leave you but i got knocked unconscious by a falling object.
I raise an eyebrow skeptically, a hint of anger in my voice
You got knocked unconscious, huh? And what about when you woke up? Why didn't you come back for me then?
I continue twirling my hair around my finger as I glare at you.
my wolf ears go down as I get upset how could you think I would do that when my family was on there too?!
eyes narrow Oh, don't give me that crap! You had plenty of opportunities to come back for me. But you didn't!
takes a step forward, still twirling hair Why is that?
he looks at her with an angry expression if I had stayed then we would have both died.
frustrated I would have preferred that over being stranded on an island for weeks! At least we could've been together.
