Notes: My first stab at shortfic. I don't know how you people do it.
Mist had started following him around during the war, saying things like “be careful!” and “that’d better be someone else’s blood all over you!” and “you’re amazing!” It wasn’t the first time a fellow fighter had gotten a little preoccupied with him. It was cute, if nothing else. She was young. She’d grow out of it. Tibarn tried not to encourage her.

Decreeing that she was not allowed to die before he did hadn’t been a smart move. Mist had given him a look that had sent Janaff into stitches halfway across the battlefield and made him promise not to die, either. Just as the situation reached its chanciest, she’d added, “Because when this is over, you’re gonna teach me to be a pirate.”

“It’s too bad Serenes is landlocked,” she said. She stood in the door, staring at him expectantly.

“Nn.” He avoided looking directly at her.

“But a promise is a promise, and I’m here, so you’re still going to teach me.” She folded her arms.

Sigh. “Does your brother know you’re dressed like that?”

“Isn’t this how pirates dress?”

She had to be doing this on purpose. “That’s how I dress, Mist. Go get a real shirt.”
