Dreaming and wishing and loving, looking out at the ocean, talking.

Rubbing his neck, clicking his tongue, grinning

Hope. The moon will come out, the sun will stop beating harshly, the world will keep spinning, and there will be another dawn, another, better day.

He is quite soft on the inside but refuses to show it, instead opting for humor as a sort of shield against emotional contact. He isn't used to touchy feely stuff being open and okay so he mostly stays closed off to the people around him, showing nothing but a grin, even when he's breaking.

He tries not to have any, but people who are prejudiced with pride make his blood boil.

Singing, sweet talking, joking, being friendly.

Green, blue, yellow, the color of Fauna's eyes.

July 19th

His mother died when he was born, leaving an overprotective father. He grew up homeschooled, learning from the sailors that would visit the port and his father and his friends. He learned about the sea and how she works, about manning a ship, about working hard for what you want, about how whining and feeling gets you nowhere, and everything that has to do with being a sailor. He was always fascinated by war however, and wanted to leave his father and become a sailor when he turned 16. He grew up with unusual foods coming in from ports all around the world. His father wants him to get married at 16, but he would rather play matchmaker for his best friend Amy and her girlfriend Nara, until he meets Fauna.
