I'm gonna bring a tiny army of three
Each of us is a noble warrior here to serve and protect the peace, with our lives.
“Oh-! Thank you…” Charon said, as he was plucked up from the ground, thankful that the really loud girl was saving him the effort of making himself float up into the fluffy haired girl’s palm. She had really seemed to be upset with him earlier and, he couldn’t blame her but… he was glad she was being gentle with him now, even if he really didn’t deserve it. He tried to smile, to show he appreciated the gesture but he knew it wasn’t a very good one. With everything feeling so unreal and too real all at the same time, it was hard to do much of anything.
Absent and weightless, he looked to the world outside of the train car.
It was unlike
anything he had ever seen before. Even if nothing was moving, it was so bright and full of real things and people and…
life. Had it always been there at the end of the tunnel where they both had been too afraid to go? He wanted to be able to go back to before, to decide to be brave and find a way out of the dark. To show Bear this big, beautiful place where he could have had fun and stretched his legs. A world with things neither of them had the chance to know about together.
His tiny fists balled at his sides as he tried so hard not to cry. He’d just calmed down! He’d just…
"Well I sure as hell know that sitting around here and doing nothing is dumb and stupid. If we're gonna do anything, we should help the blue dude. If someone else is trapped in the same predicament we were just in, it's also dumb and stupid that we don't help. And I'd be fucked up if I said I didn't care.
So. Who's ready to go kick some more ass and save this fucktard that went and got himself trapped?""I am." “Count me in.” He looked up, eyes filled with the tears he just couldn’t keep fight back. They- they were going to help him? Even if it was faint, a slight warmth bloomed in his chest and took over where the pain had threatened to swallow him up. Even the girl who had been the angriest with him and the boy he had knocked out- even if he’d done all of these people so much wrong, they were still willing to help him. He pressed his arm to his eyes to keep the tears from falling.
“Thank you!!!” he choked out, doing the best he could to show how much it meant to him. It wasn’t enough, and he knew it, but maybe… maybe if he kept trying he would find a way to make it up to them. There had to be something he could do to help everyone out.
“I’ll do my best too so- so let’s keep people safe!”Once he managed to calm himself down he looked up to the girl that had been so patiently holding him, risking her hands being burnt through his tears. She looked so tired and worn, so similar to how he felt. He patted his tiny hand against her thumb, offering a weak smile in solace.
“Um… I know it’s a lot to ask but tonight I- I really don’t want to go back there. I’m not sure what sorts of things humans live in, but… would it be okay if I stayed with you? I promise I won’t take up a lot of space if it’s small.”He curled his limbs in for emphasis. As if there would be anywhere too small for him to fit.
You know I'm not exactly looking to fight...
But when it's time and the need arises
Just watch me go!
