It's Sunday and It's Never Six Sentences

More from the Gundam Wing fandom flashback, now at 26,000 words:

Heero made a long vid call that afternoon – Quatre told me, I didn’t go snooping through his logs, though I would’ve if he hadn’t said – and then I guess all of Relena’s machinery and influence swung into action, ‘cos he didn’t even stay the night. He packed up those new clothes Quatre gave him and I was there to wave him off with a cheery grin when the car came. “Hey, and don’t forget to keep in touch!”

“I will,” he said, and then the door pulled shut with a thunk.

I figured most likely he wouldn’t. I just didn’t see him calling me up to make chit-chat about the weather.

Once I knew he was leaving, I was kinda glad he didn't hang around. The end of the war's one hell of a time to discover you're really a coward, huh?

More From Underwater

I finally got to go diving! The weather and the tides agreed to coincide with my schedule last week, and I went to visit the fish for the first time since January.

It was a very fishy dive - in the deeper water, it seemed like there was a buffalo sculpin lying on every rock, and the shallows were full of little saddleback gunnels. The water here may be murky and green and cold, but you can't say it isn't colourful down there!
