JADE | QUIET
The story broke a year after their return as ninja.
Cole tugged on the sails of Destiny’s Bounty, turning them northwest. The wind was strong; it wouldn’t take long to reach their destination. What awaited them, he wasn’t entirely sure. He only knew that its prospect filled him with dread.
The laws of chronology dictated that Cole was 3129 years-old. In appearance, he looked no older than twenty-one. He had lived through thirty-one lifetimes. Some were happy, some were sad, but most were lonely. Until now, he had long since accepted the latter as a permanent symptom of agelessness. It wasn’t very often that he got to live his days surrounded by friends.
It crushed his heart to know this was the last time it would ever happen.

thinking about how laios is so outwardly kind and agreeable even though he can be judgmental in his head.
and i know its to keep the peace, and as party leader he has more responsibility to withhold scathing remarks that could damage morale. BUT i can't help the nagging feeling its also because he just doesn't want to hurt his friend's feelings, even in the moment
like the one time he verbalizes his "negative" thoughts, he immediately goes back
he doesn't actually get it, he still thinks it's strange nobody wants to eat the fish man but can eat other animals, but he lets it go for chilchuck's sake.
laios spent his entire life feeling ostracized and scrutinized by others, the last thing he wants to do is make his friends feel that way.
and it sucks so hard we don't get more of this in the anime because i feel like it adds so much with so little.
when you slow down this scene, there's a little detail that–while not really noticable–arin's reactions are a little later than the rest, and his facial expressions shift alot moreso than the others, showing how he's probably pretty unfocused
and with that detail, kai seems to be the one who's the most focused, as even nya and lloyd's expressions occasionally shift (lloyd being the most out of the three of them), while he stayed unchanged the entire time

I'm laughing so hard at the idea of Kai and Akita just doing so Reckless™ and accidentally killing Kataru, Lloyd, nya (and the rest of the ninja too) via a heart attack. They'd barely make it through a day together.
Kai and Akita thrive off of Chaotic Righteous Moron Energy, they will not hesitate to pick a fight with anyONE you mess with them? You look at their family wrong? It’s Fight Time, there is no fear in either of these red-coded fools, they would pick a fight with the FSM himself for kicks. Kataru and Nya are in tears trying to get them not to Pick That Fight, Lloyd you’re trying but get that look out of your eyes, the other ninja are in the background with popcorn.
