The Cape Rouge, Port of Fandom, Monday morning

[betterthanaplan]

Duke was on his deck, doing some final preparations for taking the Rouge up the coast. He'd left a message for Rey, but otherwise was deliberately not thinking about the various responsibilities he was leaving behind by heading to Haven right now.

He wasn't running. He wasn't. He was going to Haven to find out about his trouble. About how to control it so he didn't hurt anyone again. So he didn't hurt Octavia again.

That wasn't running, that was being responsible.

The fact that he'd been spending the last several days trying not to run had nothing to do with this decision. Right?

[open! Duke is heading off for a canon run until like Friday. His class will be covered, I promise!]

Rey had actually been out when she saw she had a message, so she decided to swing by to see if he was still around before replying. She'd been listening to radio, and that message on top of it...

"Wasn't sure you'd still be here," she greeted him.
