Chereads / Baits / Chapter 24 - 24

Chapter 24 - 24

You search around for your human ex, to discuss Flynn, but your search yields nothing. Not at the ballasts, not at the library, not anywhere else you might expect to find a wandering human.

Maybe he just doesn't want to be found right now. With Tamru nowhere to be found, your mind starts to drift through possibilities on how best to occupy your time. Perhaps do some light reading in the library? Maybe see if you can go find a shark frenzy to watch? Or maybe just relax and just scrub your skin clean? You weigh the options as you drift through the crystal passages. None of those sound all that appealing right now; they're just the kind of activities that kill time.

Then, with a flash of guilt, you remember how just earlier today, you were worried about not having any time to kill at all. Already you're feeling bored? Is that how quickly you stop appreciating the safety of your immortality? Maybe you should do something to honor that.

You could take the time to appreciate what was saved by checking on the Eternity Orb, by checking on Cinza in the ballasts, or by joining the rest of the merfolk out partying. On the other hand, maybe getting back to a normal life is the best way to move forward. On the more productive side, you still have stuff to drop off, and even though it's not the most glamorous assignment, you could always do your job and check on the city's support structures.

You probably have enough time to do one or two things before you should get some sleep.
