Musetta had been squinting at the sundappled ocean, but she looked down when she heard his words. "I sorta hoped that would eventually happen you know. That you could meet them. After all you're the one that seems to think this is all going to turn out okay." She looked away, but only because she was still trying to make minute changes. Getting familiar with how this boat handled for a long voyage with only the two of them took more skill then she would have admitted having.
As they continued through the waves she thought about what he asked some more, turning it on its head. He was worried she might be ashamed of him? It made her sad that he was so devalued by others he might expect that from her. She didn't think he thought badly of her, but poorly of himself. "Aias, how could I be anything but happy that you're here with me? It's about what we have in this moment. The freedom to go in any direction we want, and we chose to go together." She glanced at him again. "Thank you for that."
