> Jadine: Be rational about this.

You fail completely to be rational.

In fact, you fail to be anything other than completely overwhelmed - the blowback of the emotions that had run rampant through you leaving you dazed and almost hollow feeling. It was something like shock, something like when you had walked across the ruins towards Nepeta and Eridan, except there was no sticky blood underfoot this time.

There was no screaming to drown out, just the quiet, concerned murmurs of the crew where they had paused in their work at the appearance of the stranger on the deck. A stranger that you could easily pick out and identify - the faint greenish hue under his skin, too light to be an olive upon close examination, that mirrored the tint under your own. 

You're sure that if you pulled up those shades, the eyes beneath would be filled (or starting to fill) with the yellow-green color of your caste, of his caste, of your shared caste. It was such a strange thought, but it was that that finally broke through the barrier of shock and left a giddiness bubbling up in your stomach.

By the time you reach him, you're grinning, your hands shaking slightly as you reach out - hesitant and careful - to lightly hover your palm over his cheek. Almost afraid to close the gap and make certain that he was real, that you hadn't conjured him up in some demented daymare.

"Is this real?" You manage to murmur instead, still grinning like a foolish wriggler, your pusher pounding in your ears in a dizzying staccato.
