❝𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆.❞ ⎯ 𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻.
notes: n/n means nickname by the way, in case you don't know! just a short lil imagine based off of my favorite pride and prejudice (2005) movie scene. <33 
warnings: none. 
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
Y/n sat comfortably on a blanket of grass. Her hands were bawled with the fabric of her skirt. Green blades tickling her toes. The dress she wore was soft and airy. Which felt nice against the humid heat, even in the darkness of night. 
The stars twinkled and shone so brightly, she swore she had never seen such a magnificent sight before. Especially not when she still lived at home with her parents. 
Her gaze dropped from the sky to the pond in front of her. Glistening from the light of the lanterns strwen about her yard. A family of swans swam on the surface gracefully. Causing her heart to melt for she adored animals. 
A smile crawled onto her face at the sound of footsteps approaching. She had a feeling she knew who it was, and that was confirmed when he slipped his jacket over her shoulders to keep her warm. Y/n nuzzled her face into the soft fabric, taking a deep inhale of his scent which cause goosebumps to raise on her skin. 
Zane smiled down at her, and she reached over with cold fingers to grasp at his calf, rubbing his skin lovingly. For it was the closest part of him she could reach. Mainly due to the fact that he was standing while she was still seated. But that was only for a moment, as he turned and knelt down in the grass next to her. 
Y/n turned too, sitting criss cross in front of him, the biggest of grins all but plastered to her face. 
"How are you this evening, my dear?" Zane asked, eyes shining down at her with all the adoration in the world. 
"Very well." She hummed, "only I wish you would not call me 'my dear'." She reached forwards and grasped his hands with her own. Fiddling with his fingers in delight. 
Zane tilted his head in amusement. "Why?" He asked, nearly shivering at her touch. He loved it when she did stuff like that. It was such a comforting feeling. 
"Because it's what my father calls my mother when he's cross about something." Y/n giggled, shaking her head to herself from the memory. 
He chuckled in return. "What endearments am I allowed?" He let go of one of her hands to reach forwards and brush a few strands of hair behind her ear. Y/n's cheeks flushed at the action and he swore her grin grew. 
"Well, let me think.. N/n, for everyday." she dropped her gaze to his palm where she traced the lines of his skin. "My pearl for Sundays. And.. Goddess Divine, but only on very special occasions." 
Zane's icy gaze had never left her beautiful face. His own smile grew, and he swore if she kept this up he'd probably end up short circuting. He let out a small, amused, huff. 
"And what shall I call you when I'm cross?" He leaned forwards, so close that their noses were almost brushing and he could nearly feel the heat from her breath.  "Mrs. Julien?" 
Y/n eyes widened and her blush darkened. "No." She said, almost offended he said such a thing. 
"No..." She mumbled again, shaking her head and glancing back down at their intertwined hands, if only for a moment. "You may only call me Mrs. Julien," she started, tilting her head up to brush her lips against his own. "When you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy." 
It was Zane's turn for his smile to grow. "And how are you this evening, Mrs. Julien?" He whispered, cupping the side of her face and running his thumb along her cheek. He closed the distance between them and pressed a tender and loving kiss to her forehead. Y/n closed her eyes at the feeling, leaning into his touch. She swore her heart was beating so fast, there was no way he couldn't hear it. 
"Mrs. Julien." He said again after he pulled away. Pressing his lips to her right cheek. 
"Mrs. Julien." He breathed again, smooching the tip of her nose. 
"Mrs. Julien." His lips came in contact with her other cheek. 
"Mrs. Julien." He uttered one final time, thumb moving from her cheekbone to brush against the plumpness of her bottom lip. Zane dipped his head in, connecting his lips to her own. Y/n's eyes fluttered closed and her heart soar. 
She had never been as incandescently happy as she was in this moment. And neither had he.

The Hero Discount
Summary:
"Little Lloyd had an accident during his training session with Kai, and since the others were on a patrol mission, Kai and Nya took Lloyd to the hospital for treatment, but at that moment Lloyd discovers that the "heroes" of Ninjago They can't get discounts, which seems unfair."
If I'm bad in my English, forgive me XD
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sensei Wu went out to look for some supplies and Cole, Zane and Jay went out to patrol the city in the Ultrasonic, only Kai, Nya and little Lloyd were left in Dareth's Mojo Dojo, who by the way, quickly went out to pay for some things related to the bills for the repairs to the dojo after the demolition machine destroyed the main wall, fortunately she used Really Ninjago's money for those repairs, in addition, the other ninjas also helped in the construction of it. Today was not a day for lessons with Dareth, so the dojo was free for Lloyd's training.
Nya was on the roof making some modifications to her Mech Samurai X.
Kai was supervising Lloyd's training, but he left him for a second while he went to the bathroom, Kai obviously told him not to jump on the balance bars while returning from the bathroom, Kai was teaching him how to balance on the bars, but while He wasn't there, he ordered Lloyd not to move from his spot while he returned, Kai knew that jumping over the poles was dangerous if there was no one to watch him and catch him in case he fell, and Lloyd was still a child, and he still didn't have much experience staying on one foot while he was on the poles.
But Kai should already learn that Lloyd never listens to what he's told, (just like him), it didn't take long for him to hear a loud, painful noise coming from the training area as soon as he came out of the bathroom. She entered where Lloyd was and the only thing she saw was the boy lying on the ground crying and touching his head while drops of blood fell from the side of his forehead.
It was normal for Kai to be scared when he saw the blood running from the boy's wound, and it seemed to be a big wound as the blood was flowing like a big river. Lloyd didn't seem to have the strength to sit up on his own, luckily Kai rushed to be next to him and help him sit up, Kai took off his Ninja mask and used it to stop the bleeding from the wound as a quick action to stop bleeding.
-Lloyd?! What the hell happened?! – Kai frantically tried to maintain adequate pressure on the wound, but it did not stop bleeding, even some of Lloyd's blood stained the floor and his Green Ninja uniform.
- I-I just wanted to jump towards another pole like you told me... b-but I slipped on the fabric of my pants and hit my head on the side of the other pole... - Lloyd sobbed. While he also tried to put pressure on his head using Kai's mask, but it hurt too much that even he was almost unable to touch the wound on his head.
- God... Lloyd... - Exhaling worriedly, Kai quickly lifted the cloth and took a quick look at the wound, it was still bleeding, a lot, and no doubt the wound would require saturation stitches, unfortunately Kai, nor Nya, had that knowledge, Zane maybe, but he wasn't here and they couldn't waste any more time since this could be bad for Lloyd.
- H-It hurts... - Lloyd moaned, interrupting Kai's thoughts as he let out painful sobs.
Then Kai acted.
- Don't worry, you'll be fine - Kai calmed him down as he wrapped his free hand around Lloyd's waist and lifted him up while continuing to help him keep pressure on the fabric of his head with his other hand. Lloyd also tried to hold the fabric of the mask over his head wound, but doing so made it hurt more, but he still made the effort.
Kai ran up the stairs, kicked open the door, and yelled for Nya to come with him to the hospital so he could take Lloyd. Nya was obviously startled when she saw her brother reach the roof, nearly burning herself with the blowtorch as soon as she heard the knock on the door, but as soon as she saw Lloyd bleeding from the head she quickly demanded an explanation. Kai gave him a brief summary as they walked down the stairs, mentioning that Lloyd fell off the balance beams and hurt his head when he left the training area.
Nya started the motorcycle she had gotten while they were looking for accommodation, and quickly headed towards the Ninjago General Hospital, luckily it was not far from the location of Dareth's dojo, as soon as they arrived they quickly asked the receptionist to attend to Lloyd, a nurse. She guided them to a room where several patients were being treated and assigned them a small room where there was only a stretcher, some vital machines and medical tools, and it had large windows where you could see the medical area.
After the nurse gave them some clean, sterile cloths to cover Lloyd's wound, she told them to wait in the room while she brought in the doctor who would treat them. Waiting patiently as per her instructions, Nya sat with Lloyd on the stretcher and hugged him to give the boy some comfort. Kai was still putting pressure on Lloyd's wound but luckily she wasn't bleeding as much anymore, thanks to the cloths she gave them the nurse.
- Don't worry, green machine, you'll be fine - Kai suddenly mentions to calm the boy who was still sobbing and complaining about the pain in his head.
- But I can barely feel my head, - Lloyd exclaims as he glances at Kai out of the corner of his eye.
- Hey, don't be dramatic, besides this wouldn't have happened if you had listened to me if you didn't jump over the poles without me seeing you - Kai scolded him while changing the cloth on his wound for a new one. Lloyd winced as he felt the new fabric touching his wound.
- I thought I could, I just wanted to impress you that I could do it alone - Lloyd groans as he touches the same place where Kai kept pressure on his wound - But I slipped because of my stupid Green Ninja suit, it's too big for me, and I always trip over that. - Lloyd growls angrily as he winces again as Kai presses the fabric harder.
- We'll have to ask Sensei Wu if it's okay to make some improvements to his suit - Kai mentioned sympathetically as he remembered all the times Lloyd tripped with his Green Ninja suit on, the suit was obviously made for an older person, and the boys, plus Kai, had to roll up the sleeves of their suit and the fabric of their pants, so that Lloyd wasn't dragging the excess fabric all over the floor and could move better.
But just then a doctor arrives in the room, Kai assumed it would be the doctor assigned to them.
- Nice to meet you, Red Ninja and Samurai X, I will be your assigned doctor - the doctor kindly introduced himself to the two brothers.
Kai didn't find it strange that the doctor didn't know their names, after all, the news almost never mentions them by their real names.
- It's good that doctor arrived, this is Lloyd and he hit his head very hard, the wound is deep and that's why we brought him - Kai mentioned while greeting the doctor and pointing to Lloyd who seemed to continue complaining about the pain in his head.
- I see, let me check the wound please - Nya obeyed and got up from the stretcher to be next to Kai while the doctor approached Lloyd, who luckily stayed still, while he lifted the cloth, very carefully, to examine the wound - Yes... -comments the doctor while covering the wound with the cloth again - The wound is deep, but not that serious, but it does require saturation points for it to heal well –
- It's really necessary? – Lloyd asks with a nervous tone since the boy didn't like needles at all. That fear came to light after taking Lloyd to another hospital one day to receive a flu shot.
- If we want the wound to heal, yes - the doctor calmly states as he begins to prepare what is necessary to close Lloyd's wound - But don't worry, I will inject you with an anesthesia that make feel nothing while I close the wound, you will feel something uncomfortable, but at least you won't feel pain as soon as your wound closes –
Lloyd still doesn't seem sure, but at least Nya approached him to reassure him – Don't worry, I'll be here with you while they heal your wound. And I promise you it will be fast –
- You promise? – Lloyd looks at her with hope that she really stays by her side at all times while they close the wound.
- Yes, I promise, - Nya Lloyd said as she gently rubbed her shoulder.
- And you Kai? – Lloyd now turned to the Red Ninja.
- Of course, dwarf –
- In fact, only one person can stay with the child, I'm sorry - the doctor quickly announces in apology when he sees how Lloyd asked the two brothers to stay with him.
Resigned to what the doctor was saying, Kai looked at the boy with sympathy - Don't worry, I won't go far, Nya will stay with you while I stay outside the room, plus someone will have to tell the others about your situation, right? –
Lloyd hummed affirmatively as he looked down, obviously disappointed to know that Kai couldn't stay with him and Nya.
- Easy - Kai playfully touched Lloyd's nose - You're going to be fine -
- Very good, let's begin - the doctor left the utensils next to Lloyd's stretcher and even helped him lie down on the stretcher. Kai had already left the room, but he didn't go far, he sat in what was the waiting room and took out his phone so he could contact the others.
Luckily that didn't take time, Kai knew Zane was the best at taking anyone's call.
- Kai? What's happening? – Zane asked from the other phone line.
- Hello Zane, hey, are you with the others? –
- Sure, why do you ask? –
-Listen, Lloyd got hurt and we had to take him to the hospital – Kai mentioned directly, but then quickly added another answer – But it wasn't serious, seriously, they are treating him now –
- Was Lloyd injured? – Zane sounded alarmed – But what happened? He's fine? –
-Yes, he will be fine, he hurt his head and will receive some stitches, but it was nothing serious, they treated him in time, Nya is with him at the moment. I called you to inform them that we will return to the ship as soon as they finish treating Lloyd -
- Okay - Zane sighs in relief - I'll let the others know about the situation, if they finish soon call us again, okay? –
- Of course - Kai ended the call and sighed deeply as he leaned his head back, clearly today was a long day, Kai hoped that this experience would teach Lloyd to listen to others in the future so as not to do anything reckless new during your training.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It didn't take long when the doctor left the room and informed Kai about Lloyd's condition. Kai got up from his seat and entered the room and saw that Lloyd was once again sitting on the stretcher while Nya was next to him. Lloyd had a large gauze pad over the area of his wound, but there was also a large bandage surrounding his head. At least the doctor was kind enough to clean even the blood that ran all over Lloyd's face, however, only the Ninja suit was still stained with his blood.
- How do you feel? – Kai asks as she placed her hand on Lloyd's shoulder.
- It doesn't hurt as much anymore, but it does burn a little,- Lloyd stated naturally while touching the area of his wound.
- He was lucky he didn't have a serious concussion, he's a tough kid. You will only need to change the bandages on the necessary days, take some medications, carefully clean the wound and if the stitches come loose, do not hesitate to bring the child back here – the doctor mentions while taking a sheet of paper from his clipboard and give it to Kai. There were written the medical prescriptions that Lloyd would need, the days to change his bandages and the disinfectants that he would need to clean the wound.
- Thank you, doctor – Kai thanks when reading the doctor's sheet in detail.
-You're welcome, the payment will be at the reception, just show them the sheet and they will tell you how much you have to pay - the doctor mentions when putting away some of the things that he used to close Lloyd's wound.
- Hey, wait - Lloyd suddenly responds - Should we really pay? Aren't there hospital discounts for heroes who saved Ninjago multiple times? – Lloyd's tone seemed childish, no one thought that a child like him would think that heroes got big free rewards just for saving the world.
Kai and Nya obviously laughed, Lloyd didn't seem to understand why they were laughing, but he clearly looked very confused.
- Excuse me - Kai mentioned without stopping laughing at Lloyd's comment - You know how children are, I think the blow to the head affected you quite a bit - Shaking Lloyd's head affectionately, Kai helped him get up from the stretcher and hug.
Kai and Nya ended up paying at the reception, which Lloyd didn't like, as soon as they left and went to the dojo, they boarded the Destiny Bounty, Kai informed the others that they were already home and Lloyd stayed in the game room. He stared at the television after Nya handed him her medicine.
- Hey - Kai greeted as he entered the room - How do you feel? – he sat on the couch next to Lloyd so she could give him some company.
- Aren't heroes supposed to pay nothing and receive free things? – Lloyd suddenly asks as he looks askance at Kai.
Sighing, Kai approached Lloyd and put his arm around his shoulders - Lloyd, nothing in this life is free, it sounds silly, but it's true, besides, I know that many children like you believe that just by saving the city, the people  give free stuff to the heroes, we save the city from the Great Devourer, the pirates, the Serpentine, your dad and other things I've even lost count of, and we still pay for the things you need like normal people, right ? We are not trying to live in luxury, but you saw the result of that occasion. –
- Yes, I know - Lloyd responds when remembering what they experienced in the Penthouses of the hotel where they stayed for a while.
- Listen - Kai cleared his throat and looked Lloyd in the eyes - Being a hero doesn't mean that people will give you something in return or you'll receive gifts or get some free benefit, it's about doing the right thing without receiving anything in return, the boys and I don't complain every day about not getting good care from the city, but there will always be people who will remember what you did for them and that will help you in the future. Good actions speak louder than words –
- Okay... - Lloyd accepts resignedly while huffing a little - But I still think that it would be good for you to receive a good discount at the hospital, what happens if one day one of you gets seriously injured? –
-Hey, the people at the hospital know that we did a lot for the city, if something bad were to happen to us, the doctors and nurses would not hesitate to help us, besides, it is part of their job to help people, like us, and little naughty ones like you - Kai playfully ruffled Lloyd's hair and he was disgusted by Kai's movement - Not all heroes get discounts Lloyd –
- Mmm...it's okay, I believe you. I guess you only see that in comics and television –
- Okay, now, do you want some of the ice cream Nya brought? –
Lloyd did not refuse the offer of ice cream, and while he recovered from his head injury, Sensei Wu suspended Lloyd's training sessions until he was completely healed.

And so history repeats itself…
I was kinda bored and this one shot has been bouncing around in my head for a while so here ya go! Let me know what you think!
it might be a bit bad, this is my first time doing this.
Description: Wu thought Garmadon could try something new for a change. Taking care of some plant wasn’t what Garmadon had in mind. Thankfully he doesn’t just have himself to blame when it dies, because ray’s gonna help him.
Lloyd doesn’t understand why his father likes those stupid plants so much and now he’s stuck having to take care of one. At least his big brother’s there to help him.
Ray walked through the newly built monastery, and even though it’s not the same as it was when he stayed there he couldn’t help but feel old memories everywhere…
Garmadon sighed for probably the tenth time. He’d been trying to figure out what to do about this. It was a problem, at the same time it wasn’t. But no matter how hard he told himself it didn’t matter, that it wasn’t staring into his soul, despite the lack of eyes, he couldn’t stop feeling like it was judging him. So he stared back, trying to figure out what to do about this problem.
“Garm, you ok? You’ve been staring at that plant for the last half an hour.” Garmadon forgot ray had stayed with him at the monastery while his brother and the others were out. He looked over at the man who was playing chess on his own, or attempting to figure out how to play. “Yes I’m perfectly fine, just frustrated…” He continued to glare at the greenery.
“With plant?” Ray retorted. “ maybe, maybe not,” Garmadon huffed. “ say, where’d you get that anyway” Ray asked turning his attention away from the game. “ Wu thought it’d be a good idea for me to try some hobbies.” ‘To help with the anger’ went unsaid. “When he suggested gardening I told him that was stupid and than libber told me that I probably wouldn’t be able to keep anything alive away so I may have said something’s and next thing I know I’m stuck with this thing and they’re probably gonna win our bet.” “ you made a bet! How much?” Garmadon gave ray a look that told him that told him everything. “ that bad?” “Yep” Garmadon replied popping the P. “ you know… I could probably help you..” ray said in a voice that Garmadon was sure to get him stuck in another situation, but he didn’t care, he just had to keep the stupid thing alive for a few months and he was desperate. “Ok.” Ray smiled at that and came over and sat next to Garmadon. “ You know how I’ve been trying to get out on a date with maya?” Garmadon nodded, “well she said if I can prove myself to be able to provide for her then maybe she’ll go out with me.” “And how does this have to do with me… it doesn’t have to do with that stupid game does it?!?” Ray gave a sheepish smile. “How…”
“ smart people play chess! Smart people can provide. Maya wants me to be able to provide for a family. You see where I’m going here!” Unfortunately Garmadon could, because misako had said the something along the same lines and Garmadon thought the same thing too, except he had a bit of a different thought process than learning how to play chess. “ fine.” Ray fist pumped the air before getting the board and setting it up in front of Garmadon. “ so how do take care of it anyways?” The fern only lived about a week.
Lloyd glared at his father’s new plant. The plant he was supposed to take care of. The plant he had no idea how to take care of.
“Hey Lloyd, you good? You’ve been glaring at that thing for at least half an hour.” Kai said from his spot next to Lloyd on the couch as he tried to beat Cole’s high score in prime empire. “Yes perfectly fine, just frustrated.” “With a plant?”
From the hallway Ray couldn’t help but chuckle as he listened to the boy’s conversation. “And so history repeats itself…”
‘And hopefully for the better’ went unsaid.

Ninjago Headcanons from an elder fan
Part 1
There is a group chat, and it pops off all hours of the day. And often the conversation is being texted in all caps, or voice messages of the ninja yelling at each other.
Skylor was added to it but left because there were too many notifications while she was working.
Zane will take selfies in the middle of the battle and send it to the group chat
Nya begs him to stop doing it but Zane thinks it's hilarious
Kai is a material girl; he does his skincare, haircare, and body care and will often pester Nya about where she goes to fix herself up for dates.
Ninjas who ride cycles also wear helmets, which increases their attractiveness by 200%.
Lloyd has taken on the man bun. Yes, it does work out for him.
Jay is severely underrated. He's strong, average-sized, and has freckles all over. This dude is a ninja and commonly climbs high places to practice his element. He's got to have that nice upper body strength.
Cole's the tallest, heaviest, and strongest. He's pure muscle, but he's also a gentle giant when he's not in battle. Even sparring, he'll go easy in an effort to not hurt his friends.
He will, however, pick Jay up and just carry him out of the room if he gets too aggravating.
Nya will still tinker with mech, and often spends time with Pixal doing so. They're lesbians, and Nya taught Pixal how to be more self-assured and independent.
Pixal's life revolved around serving other people, and she had to be taught how to serve herself.
Zane and Pixal are similar to how the D:BH androids function. They can download any file, and research anything, but once it comes to human experiences and emotions, they have to take their time and learns from being hands-on.
That's why it took so long for Zane to catch on to simple emotions and phrases, and why he still has trouble even if he's made improvements.
Zane and Nya are close friends, they were the oddballs before Lloyd showed up.
Nya and Lloyd are also really close because of this, and while as a child he loved to annoy her, he actually really looked up to her.
Babysit isn't the proper wording, but Nya definitely looked after Lloyd and taught him the basic functions of how to take care of himself.
Kai as well, the Smith's were the closest thing to a pair of siblings Lloyd could've had growing up, and their bond still stays strong.
Lloyd still clings onto remnants of his short childhood. He will do things to heal his inner child.
There's articles and social media posts catching him swinging on a swingset with Cole, or getting icecream with Kai. He'll even go to a comic-con or two...or ten.
While the ninja aren't necessarily paid for their efforts, the city will give them a check every so often whenever Ninjago is saved by a big baddie.
However, if there are casualties or if the city is destroyed (Ex. The Great Devourer), that money will go back into repairing the city.
But, Nya keeps the finances in check, and knows how to haggle for anything the team may need (she threatens the salespeople).
But even with the extra money, some will seek a second responsibility. Pixal will do hybrid part-time jobs, and Jay will pick up a delivery contract for example. Something to take a break from daily training and punching bad guys.
They still have their golden weapon vehicles because I said so, and I like people on motorcycles. They also have spare backups that Nya has built from scratch. She almost strangled Jay for crashing that one.
And yes, Nya has a motorcycle, too.
But all in all, they've found each other as family, and it's ride or die with all of them. Especially Zane.

watching dr s2 made me realize that we really need a season where lloyd is send on a vacation and for the entirety of the 20 episodes we see or hear from him maybe twice or thrice because hes on a beach somewhere relaxing (or forced to relax).
like this would just be so fucking funny. now that he is very officially master lloyd he will def overwork himself like he always does, just image all the other ninja look at eachother and the next shot is them rushing lloyd on a plane telling him they are sending him on a vacation for a week or two and to only call if he is in immidiate danger

like imagine Cole and Jay just having a casual conversation at some point right before the upcoming day of the departed (after crystalised) and they're just randomly thinking about death.
"Isn't it kinda weird that some of us have died so many times."
"You've all died once, you just don't remember."
"What about you?"
"I haven't. Guess the universe has never gotten around to me. "
"Heh, maybe it has something really special planned for you."
No, it just won't let me die. Believe me I've tried.
youtube
(also this specific thing is playing over the scene)

It Gets Cuter
Zane has plans for Valentine's Day that no one was expecting. Takes place shortly after Crystalized. ~1100 words
Valentine's day was always a bit of a mess at the monastery. Love is great, but stopping danger takes priority, and it seemed like every year there was someone intent on feeling most important. This year had been Killow’s turn, and the team was now stuck in the Samurai X cave, repairing surface level damages to their vehicles after the fight so they could be safely stored for the night. Groups were scattered across the room, but Zane, Nya, and Kai were gathered around the Dragon Raider, finishing out their required repairs at a decent rate. 
“You and Jay have dinner reservations or anything?” Kai asked.
“No, we’re doing junk food dinner.” Nya smiled, glancing up from her work. “Nothing but piles of snacks and sweets until we eat ourselves into a coma in front of the TV. It’s fantastic.”
“That actually does sound amazing,” Her brother agreed. 
“What about you? Did you make plans with Sky?” Nya asked.
“Yeah, she asked me to do this escape room thing with a bunch of friends. You know, a group date to keep things light while we’re starting out.”
“Honestly, that’s a good idea,” Nya shrugged. “You go in too fast, and sometimes things get… messy.”
Kai glanced over at his unusually quiet teammate. He seemed rather distracted as he worked, his mind obviously occupied by something else. “What about you Zane?”
Zane’s eyes popped up to his friends, pulled out of his internal world. “What about me?”
“Yeah,” Nya shrugged. “You have any Valentine’s plans tonight?” 
Zane cast his eyes to the ground, embarrassed, letting out a long sigh. His complexion turned upward again, his voice lowered, and his lips smiling with tentative excitement.
“I’m finally going to tell Pixal I have feelings for her.”
The faces of his companions froze in their anticipation, Kai in particular shutting down as he tried to process the news he had been given. 
“You… what?” Nya leaned forward in concern, placing down her wrench. 
“I’m finally gonna tell her how I feel.” Zane reiterated, his face distorted in worry at the blank responses he got back. “Do you think it’s a bad idea, or-”
“Dude… I think she already knows.” Kai pressed, his own words still unsure of the situation as he spoke them.
“You think so?!” Zane’s eyes grew wide in surprise, glancing behind him at the nindroid in question. “She is pretty good at reading people,” he reasoned.
Nya stepped forward, putting a hand on his arm. “Zane, she’s your girlfriend, I think-”
Zane began to chuckle. “What? No! I wish! I mean, maybe. Hopefully! That’s why I’m gonna tell her. I’ve had a crush on her for a while now.”
“But you-” Kai chimed in, still frozen in place, his face stuck in a state of stupor, the gears in his head churning away as he tried desperately to make sense of the interaction. “I’m sorry.” He finally broke, shoving his hands through his hair. 
“Have you two really not talked about this before?” Nya stepped in front of her brother, attempting to distract the newly fragile Zane from his reaction.
“No. Why? Do you think I waited too long?” The panic in his voice was palpable, but the confusion which filled the air was still much stronger.
“Yeah! I mean, no,” Nya calmed herself. “I don’t think you’ve missed your window or anything, but… I definitely think you could have done it earlier.” She sighed as she began to mutter. “Like the second after you met her earlier.”
“Hold on.” Kai broke in again, stepping forward, having found some sense of footing. “I’m still… But you two were like, the same person, right?”
“She was implanted into my systems for a period, yes.” Zane agreed.
“How is that not like… the most intense form of dating?” Kai’s eyes turned down as he spoke, the question more for himself at this point.
“Zane, if she was in your systems for all that time, couldn’t she… read your thoughts? Wouldn’t she already know how you feel about her?” Nya offered.
“I suppose it’s possible.” Zane mused, turning back around to observe his hopeful Valentine. “I never went as far as to observe her thoughts. She was very respectful of my privacy as far as I’m aware, but I suppose there are some things it would be difficult to conceal-”
“How did we not know?” Kai began a sibling sidebar as Zane continued to analyze his situation. “...Do you think she knows?”
“I think she- I mean she has to, right?” Nya reasoned, both of them now stuck watching Pixal as she noticed the glance of her admirer, and softly waved at him, a bashful amount of blush gracing her cheeks. “...honestly, I can't be sure about anything anymore.” 
“I’m so nervous.” Zane turned around to face his companions. “If she does know, why has she not spoken to me about it?”
“Hey, buddy,” Nya grabbed both his hands, attempting to focus him. “If it makes you feel any better… I think she likes you too.”
Zane’s face exploded with hope, perhaps even on the verge of tears. “You think?!”
“I can guarantee.” Nya nodded.
“I’m going to do it. I’m so excited!” Zane again turned around, not being able to help looking at the center of his affection.
“How are you going to tell her?” Nya asked, the shock finally beginning to subside a bit.
“Well, I spoke with her father,” Zane started, spinning back around. “And he helped me make up a pair of those heart necklaces, only the heart isn’t a heart, it’s meant to look like the two halves of our power source, and the metal is reclaimed from my original technoblade, which brought us together in the first place.”
“Oh gosh, it’s so cute.” Kai breathed out, leaning over his vehicle.
“Right, because that’s how you freed her from the overlord’s control.” Nya nodded along.
Zane grinned, beginning to chuckle. “Well, no. Because she fought me for them in the woods.”
Kai fully crumpled over the hood of the car. “It gets cuter-”
“You know what,” Nya started, her heart also melting at the gesture described to her. “We’re almost done here, why don’t you go get ready to surprise her, and we can finish up the rest.”
“You’re sure?” Zane nearly jumped with excitement.
“Go!” Kai urged him, raising his head back up. “Master knows you’ve waited long enough already!”
Zane looked at them both graciously. “Thanks so much for your help!” His energy took him across the room quickly, almost skipping. At one point he turned around to wave back at his friends, which they both, much less exuberantly, returned.
“There he goes,” Nya mused.
Kai remained slumped over the Dragon Raider, his mind now as full as Zane’s had been just a few moments earlier. “I think I need to like… go lay down for a second.”
“Maybe you should talk to Skylor-”
“I really should.”

¿Does time really heal wounds?
It's been too many days since the events that happened at the Shadow Temple where the Blood Moon ritual was performed, said temple disappeared in the blink of an eye after stopping Ras and his followers.
After the ninjas helped Euphrasia and her people build part of the islands of the Cloud Kingdom, they returned to the Monastery to plan their new strategies to locate the Shadow Temple and Ras, who is still loose was a clear threat to Ninjago and the other Kingdoms. When they checked that Egalt and Rontu were okay, after being turned into stone by the Blood Moon, in gratitude the two Dragon Masters offered the Ninjas their guidance and knowledge about the Source Dragons.
Things were not going well at the Monastery for the Ninjas and their allies, especially for a certain wild girl, Master of Heat. The Ninjas may have gotten the victory over Ras this time, but for many it wasn't a sweet victory, Ras managed to snatch two valuable people from the Ninjas, they lost Kai, the Red Ninja, and Bonzle, the spell that Cole lived with when he was living with Geo and the little Spitz and Fritz in The Land of Lost Things.
The real problems started after Wyldfyre got frustrated when he didn't receive any new news about rescuing Kai.
She spends her time angry, burning things at random and Lloyd didn't know what to do with Kai's wild student anymore. Everyone somehow tried to give her some comfort, but when trying to do that they ended up in two things: engulfed in flames or with the growing fear of making Wyldfyre angry again, at least Nya was the only one who didn't end up with flames of fire around her body.
Arin had to go to the Crossroads several times to buy new clothes since Wyldfyre burned part of his wardrobe in the room he shared with Sora and Riyu. Even some dragons from the stables below the Monastery were afraid to approach Wyldfyre, the others did not understand the language of the Dragons but upon hearing Wyldfyre's growls and roars they assumed that they were not pleasant things to hear.
Right now Lloyd was in Wu's study trying to restore the burned scrolls again thanks to Wyldfyre's fire.
- I can't believe he burned them again... - Lloyd murmurs as he finishes rewriting one of the scrolls and continues with the next.
- Everything okay? - Nya's sudden voice interrupted Lloyd's thoughts as he began to restore a new scroll.
- Something like that - Lloyd admits defeated - Wyldfyre burned the scrolls again. He wanted to find things that could help Kai escape from that strange realm, but…he found nothing, he got angry and burned the scrolls –
- Let's try to be patient with her, Lloyd. Wydlfyre just misses Kai, like everyone else, only she shows her anger and sadness in her own way – Nya answers as she approaches Lloyd.
- But I wouldn't want anger to be their only confrontational feeling in Kai's absence, we've been through this before, with Zane, with my uncle Wu, my father and... with you - Lloyd was obviously referring to the times they thought they had lost a member of their team.
They know that Kai isn't really dead, he was just missing, like Bonzle...
But even so, his absence affected everyone, Lloyd missed him too but he still had hope of getting him back. But he didn't unleash his anger and frustration like Wyldfyre did, Lloyd learned from his own experience that all that anger wouldn't lead to anything good, it only brought suffering.
But Lloyd knew that Nya was right, he knew that Wyldfyre was..."different". After all, she was raised in a wild environment with dragons, she knows very well that it was even a challenge to give her writing and reading classes so that she had a decent intellect.
- Lloyd, you just have to give her time, sooner or later she'll have to calm down, besides, she's trying to open up a little to me, she doesn't say much but I give her time. Maybe you could also try to talk to her more -
- Yes... maybe I'll try - Lloyd says as he returns with the scrolls.
--------------------------------------------------
It wouldn't be a good idea, Lloyd thought as he walked through the halls looking for Wyldfyre, he thought that what he was doing now to try to give Wyldfyre some comfort would be a mistake and would make him more upset but he remembered Nya's words in the process: he should try to talk to Wyldfyre.
Lloyd knew he wasn't Kai, but maybe it would be worth a try at least, at least he thinks that's what Kai would try.
Lloyd went down to the stables and there he saw as always Wyldfyre practicing her fireball throws with various objects that she herself placed around the stables.
- Wyldfyre – Lloyd calls as he approaches Wylfyre.
- I'm training, Lloyd – he answers harshly without taking his eyes off his targets.
- I just wanted to give you something – Lloyd answers bluntly.
It seems that that caught Wyldfyre's attention, she cautiously looks at Lloyd trying to figure out what he had for her.
- Is it food? Because right now I'm hungry – normally Wyldfyre didn't receive things from the other Ninjas, Kai was the one who always gave him some random things, that included food, books and some weapons that Wyldfyre uses during his training.
- It's not exactly food - Lloyd answered nervously - But it's something that might be able to help you - Lloyd then shows Wyldfyre an electronic tablet with a red protector.
- Is this one of those technological boxes that you and the other ninjas use to watch boring things? – she answers with some anger, but she also seemed to be somewhat confused when she examined the tablet better.
- It's a tablet – Lloyd quickly corrects – And Sora helped me reinforce it for you –
- But why would I need a stupid tablet? –
- I thought it might be a better way to deal with Kai's absence – Lloyd explains, he sounded calm, but he was still alert to a possible outburst from Wyldfyre, luckily such action did not come, but he could see in Kai's young student more confusion than she already had when receiving the tablet.
- I don't understand, how will this appease my burning anger?! – Wylfyre shouts as he lights his hands on fire.
- Listen, a long time ago when I lost my father… – Lloyd begins with a melancholic tone – I started recording voice messages –
- Voice… messages? – says Wyldfyre raising one of his eyebrows.
- Yes, it served as a method for me to vent some of my sadness, you can record messages where you talk about how you feel, maybe you yourself will discover how to heal yourself, sometimes… talking about our problems can help us discover more about ourselves than looking for answers in other people –
- Really? – asks Wyldfyre.
- Yes – affirms Lloyd – Kai even helped me with that – Lloyd mentions remembering the times that Kai encouraged him to look for other ways to face his losses since thanks to some exercises of Wu, Kai discovered different ways of perspective on how to face those feelings that hurt people.
- Mmm – Wyldfyre was still observing the tablet in detail, but it seems that he had finally decided – Okay, I'll keep the tablet, but don't expect that maybe I'll talk about my "feelings" with this device. With my breeding robot I had enough... – Wyldfyre commented that last while he returned to the stable of his dragon Heatwave.
Lloyd seemed to be satisfied with his achievement, at least it was a start. Maybe Wyldfyre will finally change and manage to open up a little more with him in the future and with others as she did with Kai.
--------------------------------------------------
Days later, Lloyd seems to be about to give up on Wyldfyre, but not in the way many believe, Lloyd would not abandon her to her fate, but he believes that it is useless to try to convince Wyldfyre to appease his anger. During the following days after Lloyd gave him the tablet, it seemed that things had calmed down in the monastery, Wyldfyre no longer destroyed as many things as usual, sometimes Lloyd even heard her from the stables or outside the monastery as she used the tablet when recording meaningless voice messages or when she tested the tablet's camera with anything she saw, she even took several photos of the things she herself destroyed or burned.
At least she didn't take up Kai's habit of taking pictures of herself.
But after resuming lessons again to continue Lloyd's Ninja training, things got worse again. Wyldfyre seemed to get frustrated feeling that Lloyd's training wasn't going to get them anywhere, and after unleashing her flames again in the monastery Nya and Cole had to intervene by using their powers to put out the flames, Wyldfyre returned furiously to the stables.
But after several hours of not hearing any explosions, Lloyd checked the stable and discovered that both Wyldfyre and Heatwave were nowhere to be found.
At first they thought he would return soon, but then a few days passed...
- Calm down Lloyd, you just have to give him some space - answers Nya watching as Lloyd walks back and forth in a worried manner in the game room.
- Three days have passed - comments Lloyd - What if something happened to him? –
- She has Heatwave with her, and it doesn't seem like she wanted to leave for a long, left her things here. These days have been difficult for her, maybe being away from the monastery will calm her down and then she will return –
- What if not? – Lloyd fears as he stops and glances at Nya.
- She'll be fine, I assure you – Nya says as she places her hand on Lloyd's shoulder, as a way of reassuring him.
They both know deep down that Wyldfyre will be fine, she has Heatwave and they don't doubt that she's someone strong, reckless, but strong. Besides, Kai was the one who trained her after all, a comfort that at least gave Lloyd and Nya.
- Just… – Lloyd begins as he lets out a tired and deep sigh as he sits on the couch. And Nya also sits with him – I just wouldn't want something bad to happen to her, we're not as close as Kai was with her, but… I still worry about her. She's also a member of our team, I'd hate for something bad to happen to her –
- She's strong, like Kai, we just have to give her time and she'll be fine, but if she takes more days to come back, then we'll go look for her ourselves, is that okay with you? – Nya says with a confident tone towards Lloyd.
Lloyd sighs in relief, at least a little – It's okay –
--------------------------------------------------
And it seemed that Nya was right, after talking about the possible disappearance of Wyldfyre with Heatwave it turned out that she returned to the monastery one day somewhat... changed.
Lloyd noticed that she seemed to be calmer, at least a little, he even noticed that her half-moon hair figure was no longer there, from what Wyldfyre said, it seems that she herself found some baby dragons which were born separated from their pack and Wyldfyre took care of returning them to their dragon family, it seems that Wyldfyre managed to calm her negative feelings, now she proved to be more open with others about how she really felt about Kai's absence.
This seemed to be a great achievement for Lloyd, he even noticed how she lived more with Arin and Sora, in addition, Sora showed Wyldfyre a device on how to understand the language of dragons.
Right now Nya was fixing Wyldfyre's hair since without her wooden brooch Wyldfyre's hair really was a mess.
- Ouch - Wyldfyre complains after receiving his tenth hair pull from Nya's brush.
- I'm sorry Wyldfyre, but your hair is a real challenge to solve – Nya apologizes as she goes back to brushing Wylfyre's hair.
- Tell me… – Wyldfyre begins somewhat cautiously – Has Kai ever had to deal… with his anger like I did? –
For a moment Nya paused, memories of seeing her brother deal with his anger coming to her mind in a quick flash.
- Kai dealt with his anger in other ways Wyldfyre, believe me, you did it better than him –
- Ha-ha, really? That means I'm good with this anger thing – Wyldfyre proudly admits. But then she found herself confused by Nya's statement – ​​Wait, what do you mean? Isn't Kai an expert in all that patience and controlling negative feelings? –
- Believe me, my brother is the last person you want to turn to if you want to talk about patience. But over time he's gotten better, he's been more relaxed, but... he might still have difficulties –
- Oh... - now Wyldfyre knew a new thing about Kai.
- In the past his decisions might not have been the best when it came to facing his own anger or sadness, but he still tried to move forward, to improve, so he wouldn't have to resort to a path that would hurt him more – Nya explains.
- Is that what he felt when you, uh... became one with... the sea? – Wyldfyre still hadn't heard the full story of how Nya merged with the sea, so it was a topic she still didn't know about.
- The boys didn't want to give me many details...especially Kai and Jay. But from what I understood, Kai focused on training young people to help them defend themselves, that at least helped him forget my absence just a little, I was afraid he would make bad decisions about himself again –
- I see... - after being silent for a minute Wyldfyre turned to look at Nya again - Is it true that time heals wounds? Honestly, I don't like this feeling I'm feeling since Kai is no longer with us –
- It's not always about time, Wyldfyre. But there will always be ways to heal what hurts us in different ways –
- I understand –
With that, Wyldfyre let Nya finish brushing her hair.

Not so bad
here! * throws head cannon one shot and runs * description: can’t think of one… basically just some season one Lloyd and Nya bonding.
Lloyd had absolutely nothing to do. The ninja were all out on missions or something, so there wasn’t really anyone to bother and uncle Wu said he couldn’t play anymore pranks or else there’d be no sweets. So Lloyd did the only thing he could do, read Star fair! He decided to read out on the deck since no one else was up there to disturb him, not that there was any one to disturb him other than his uncle or maybe Kai’s sister. What was her name? Nya… yeah that was it. He had no idea where she was, the whole time he’s been there she’s never really been around, which was fine with him, he didn’t like girls, not at all. So how was it he had found himself right in front of her door? Of course he couldn’t just enjoy his comics, no, the stupid wind had to blow it out of his hands and away from the ship. And of course Lloyd panicked, that volume was one of his favorites! Thankfully the wind seemed to understand that and the book made its way back towards him… that was until it decided to go straight through one of the windows near the bottom of the flying boat. Which also meant it was in one of three places : it landed in the room the ninja shared, it landed in his uncle’s room, or Nya’s room… Lloyd quickly darted down the stairs and peered into each room hoping to find his book, until he got to the room he had been dreading…. Nya’s. Lloyd decided the best course of action was to first nock. He had seen what happened if you didn’t nock before going into a room, and usually it had to do with yelling and versus objects being thrown at the intruder. Unfortunately or fortunately, Lloyd wasn’t sure which one, Nya hadn’t opened the door, so he took the next approach. Carefully he cracked open the door so he could peek in just enough to tell if anyone was in the room, no one was in the room. Seeing this he decided to go ahead and look for the comic lucky Nya seemed to keep a clean room so it was very easy to find. Unfortunately Lloyd wasn’t able to make it out when he heard the sound of a jet pack and saw a figure coming towards the open window so in a panic he quickly hid inside Nya’s wardrobe. The Jet packed stranger flew into the room and by the looks of their clothes Lloyd could tell it was the samurai! The samurai those color coded idiots were looking for. But what were they doing here! Lloyd tried to get a better look at them causing the old wooden wardrobe to creak causing the samurai to become aware of his presence. Lloyd internally paniced. What would they do if they found him? What if they were trying to sabotage the bounty? What if- Lloyd didn’t get a chance to continue his panicking because suddenly the doors to Lloyd’s hiding place was whipped wide open. And Lloyd screamed. And the samurai panicked next. “ stop that! Shhhh!!!! Please be quiet! Lloyd, please I’m begging you!” Lloyd knew that voice… “Nya!?!” The girl in question took off the helmet and gave a weak smile, “surprise…” she sounded very tired. “ what! B-but how a-and…” Lloyd continued to try to rap his head around this. “ yeah I know, just please don’t tell anyone!” Lloyd stopped his rambling and looked straight at her. “What?” “please, Lloyd Kai already worries enough about me and I just need a little bit of freedom, and I just wanna be able to help.” While Nya continued her own rambling Lloyd considered his options. While he would like to ruin the ninja’s bet they had made, it would be perfect… but something in Lloyd’s gut told him to just let it be. “ok,” Nya sighed in relief for a moment, “but you have to do something for me.” Nya groaned but finally agreed. “Ok, what is it?” A large smile grew on Lloyd’s face. “Can you show me your stuff and everything! Like how do you know who needs help! And-and-“
“Ok.” Nya finally nodded “I’ll show you.” a few hours later Nya had shown Lloyd almost everything! It was absolutely amazing! “the boys will be back soon,” Nya told Lloyd as she began to put her stuff away, “I’m going to finish cleaning here, if you want you can go do your own thing.” Lloyd agreed and grabbed his star fair before heading out. “Hey nya?” The girl hummed in response, “ you know you’re actually kinda not so bad… for a girl.” Nya smiled at him, “you know you’re not so bad yourself for being such a brat at times.” And for the first time Lloyd actually felt like he had maybe, just maybe made a real friend.

man I'm rewatching skybound (help) to focus on the misfortune crew so here's a kinda long ramble about Flintlocke and Nadakhan friendship below
the way Flintlocke's voice shakes when he says to Nadakhan he's doing a mutiny. when he says "stay right there"
I know it's most likely from fear, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was out of a broken heart too like- it's his captain. one he has most likely spent years at sea with. the one he'd trust with his life, and must've done so. most likely his best friend. AUGH
And how Nadakhan reacts to it, too! he gets angry, he doesn't believe what he's hearing! how dare they not trust him? (gee I wonder why)How is Flintlocke daring him to change things around?
Can you imagine watching someone you care about diving into some kind of infinite madness, and you not able to do shit about it? And it's not like Flintlocke could help much. Since yknow Nadakhan just lost all his people in a single moment after spending 300 years inside a teapot, and after losing the one he loves, too. And he sees something is wrong the moment he sees Nya. He knows Nadakhan too well, and I take it he's used to the captain sharing plans with them if he's already hella suspicious when Nadakhan doesn't tell him what he has in mind when coming back from Djinjago
And he's not the only one; like the whole 'close' crew (as I like to call them) notices how their captain is kinda getting distant? and losing it
But like what are you supposed to do about that? especially since they're pirates, and the captain has to be kind of scary if he still wants to handle psychopaths under an iron grip of some sort
And they were ready to trust him. To the end, I guess.
fuck! Nadakhan just ruined all that was left to him during skybound, didn't he? what a fucking idiot.
And Jay was this close to do the same with his own friends huh (NOT TO THAT EXTENT GUYS COME ON-)
I just love to think of parallels between Jay and Nadakhan. Cole and Flintlocke. The obvious (? I'm not really sure about this one) but awfully made Delara Nya one (not saying I made a good one in my fic either but eh)
But they're pirates. They're not good people, and Nadakhan is a fucking bitch. You have on one side how Arrakore dealt with the loss, and on the other, Nadakhan's, who was probably so used to being a prince and stuff he just- ugh.
But that doesn't mean they don't have emotions, which I'm trying to write about
also I'm noting Clancee probably noted Nya resembling Delara when he gave Nadakhan the newspaper. But he didn't say anything. Hm. I'm keeping that in mind.
anyway. back to writing I goooo

imagine if they had taken a different route with 'evil jay.' imagine jay participating in training with ras and being beat so badly that ras kicks a wolf mask to him, and with a bloodied, beat hand he inches towards it, even though it's repulsive to him, disgusting even - but he has to if he wants to live. The mask shatters his soul and the power heals him. He needs to live, but he doesn't want to shatter his soul - but it's the only option presented to him, and he has to take it. eventually he forgets he never wanted to.
anon i love you this is Exactly What I Needed
and yes yes yes
(i kind of went off, all fic like so umm have this i guess??)
i imagine walker would avoid anything that directly tied him to the wolves. after everything that admin put him through he couldn't take another faction taking any more pieces of what little identity he had left - even if it did make him stronger. i imagine he stayed with ras not just because of his lies - the story of how great of a warrior hes been sounded just a tad too good to be true, more like an example from a manipulation textbook rather than anyones actual life, not in this century. but he did stay, because he wanted to destroy the administration - whether from revenge or to free everyone in there, he didnt know.
i imagine when ras found him he quite literally saved his life - after gods know how long walker had to survive on his own in the realm of madness and wylderness he found his way to where ras was. ras brought him in, patched his wounds, gave him food and shelter.
even weeks after being saved by ras walker was still in fight or flight response. he was scared. still somewhat of his power, but the pain was unbearable. remember post merge hes probably never actually been in a fight except when he struggled for survival after admin.
but his power remembered how to ease the pain. make it more bearable. take more of it. until walker cannot stand up back again, and everyone smells death coming.
for a moment no one moves. not jordana, not cinder who was meant to be next, even nokt who was his opponent steps back. no one expected walker to take that much damage. no one expected him to not get up. all these weeks, no matter the punches and the slashes, walker always got back up in the end. all the terrible scars, the eye patch too, proved this wasnt a new development. it was ingrained into walker as much as his lightning.
it takes ten ragged, difficult, wheezy breaths for anyone to move.
ras stands up slowly. no one speaks as the boss kicks the wolf mask towards walker.
at first, the only response is a twitch of fingers and brow.
until a strike of lightning runs across walkers arm and, struggling, he grabs the mask. he doesnt properly put it on just kind of throws his arm, trusting proportions of it to land it vaguely on his face.
whatever anyone says, ras did not run to strike the gong, almost forgetting his own hammer. to say so would be to assume he cared about the master of lightning. which would be ridiculous. he was just a simple tool for others to use. of course there was no fondness, and absolutely, not at all, walker never managed to make any of them smile. that never happened, of course.
and as no one cared for walkers wellbeing, there wasn't a collective sigh of relief and a chuckle of joy as the wounds on walkers body started closing, red energy of shattering weaving his organs back together. of course no one was relieved. not at all.
nokt smirked as ras helped walker to sit up, laying the wolf mask on his lap.
"not bad, brat."
walker gasped in a shaky breath, elemental energy trying to cope with the shattering.
he looked up at nokt.
"so, warm up's over, i take it?"
and at that there was chuckling, with nokt bursting with laughter.
