[ . . . shifting a little. Just a little closer. Though. He'd remain silent. The quiet. Was nice. ]

[ A sigh. Eyes threatening to drift shut. . . . he'd been. Running himself ragged. Taking care of those zapfish Four saved. Head slowly. Lolling to the side. Brushing the other's shoulder slightly. ]

[ He must have been. He doesn't stir. Head on their shoulder. Breathing steady. Normally, a loud rumbling from his chest would fill the area's silence. But he was so tired, even that was hushed. Just a quiet rumbling. A slight purring noise. ]

[ Snort- SNRK- ] Whuh- huh-?

Mmh. . . hey. [ Exhausted Octoling noises. ]

[ Too tired to answer. A bit of a. Shrug? Slump? Just. A vague response. ]

[ Nearly falling. Getting up. Stretching. Yawning. Eugh. . . ] Gotta. Get back to watching the zapfish. You know where to find me. . .

. . . a few. They. Didn't wanna leave. No matter what I did.

. . . okay. [ Pulling out a treat. Of some sort. ] Give this to the runty one. She. Answers to Tarts.

. . . I was. Going to. . . I was more concerned about you. After what happened. . .

R-right. I'll. Tell you, next time. [ Tired hug. ] Gonna go nap. You know where to find me.

I love my girlfriends.

// Oh right. Nova exists. . Oops.

// Erm. Shrugs in "no motivation"?

// Might just. Put Nova on a sort of indefinite hiatus. I dunno if I'm gonna do anything with him for awhile.

// Might. Retcon some stuff? Maybe just move him to another acc altogether? Just not sure how I feel about him atm.

// I'm gonna phrase it like this and not elaborate on what the choices mean.

// This won't be a continuation. Nova is staying here, memories and all. But if you want more "Agent 8", you'll want to look here. -Basil ~♡
