[blinking a little, surprised by the abrupt subject change, but... she shakes her head.]

I don't know. I thought... I should go home. To keep looking for my dad. But the only reason I want to find him is so he can send me back to where I came from.

[sharkgirl]

[hmmm.]

... Do you want to go back to where you came from really bad? [she pulls back finally, watching saya with all like twelve of her eyes.] Or would you be cool with a place where you weren't alone?

[squelching]

... I don't even know where it is. I think Dad brought me to Earth right when I was born. But there's nothing for me on Earth, either.

[so... no... she looks back at her, curiously. and a little hopefully, maybe.]

Yeah... I would. [quietly.] Where were you thinking?

[sharkgirl]

[for the first time today her lips twitch a little.]

... Nico and Will offered to let me go with them. And if... if we can make sure Ace is alive, I want to go where he is, too. Even Reigen said... well, I don't know.

But - wherever I go, I'd bring you with me. If you wanted to go.

[squelching]

[oh.

she looks stunned for a moment, staring at her... and then, despite the fact that they just finished hugging, saya ends up kind of. tucking herself against nimona, nodding.]

... I probably won't look the way I do now. [so that. might be a problem in some worlds.] But I'd want to go with you. I like being with you.

[sharkgirl]

[that's fine with her, she just wraps her arms around saya again and holds her very tight, tucking saya's head under her chin.]

You know I don't care about what you look like. [just making that clear. she knows it might be an issue in some worlds, but whatever. they'll figure it out.] I like being with you too.

[...]

Wherever it is, we can go together. Okay? So it doesn't have to be us just... being alone.

[squelching]

... I know you don't. You wouldn't have cared even if you met the real me first.

[because they are in the same non-human boat.]

It can be the two of us forever, and... all our friends. I won't leave you for as long as you'll have me, okay? I promise.

[saya can fit inside a backpack in the worlds where eldritch abominations aren't acceptable. they'll figure it out.]

[sharkgirl]

[she smiles a little at the first part because it's true.]

Yeah. I like the sound of that. [to have someone who would never leave sounds... amazing, actually. she absolutely will just carry saya around in a backpack it'll be fine.]

I promise too. I won't go anywhere.
