Bab 530: Friend

Coraline bit her upper lip as she looked around her. There wasn't really a good place to focus on. Beatrice was... not in any... particular fixed location.

 "Uh... can we... not burn? The boat? It's a nice boat."

"It's a ship," Tychon scolded, "It's literally in the name: air-ship."

Was that really important right now?!

The spirit seemed to hesitate... flitting about her like a fairy... 

It didn't seem unhappy, though... It was more like it was... excited?

⊰ no burn? ⊱

Coraline laughed nervously, "I'd really... like for the ship to land safely-- you know, with all the passengers still alive?"

⊰ gone ⊱

⊰ nikandros gone ⊱

⊰ no friend ⊱

"Aww..." Coraline pursed her lips... She sounded lonely, "You know me, though!"

⊰ you are all we know ⊱

⊰ no friend ⊱

⊰ you . friend? ⊱

The spirit's innocence made Coraline smile from the heart, "Of course, I'll be your friend. My name is Coraline!"
