"Bellamy."

"Didn’t get a chance to talk yesterday because I had to get busy repairing ships after that skirmish with the Navy. Hope you don't mind if we talk here."

"In short. After a recent fight, Venus and I got to talking and she suggested we fly to Curacao, since I had never seen beaches in my life. Nothing romantic, just a friendly trip. I know there is a relationship between you two; Venus said you won't mind. That true? I have no reason not to trust her, but it never hurts to double check."

"Also. Venus said you feel surrounded by old people. I don't know how old I sound, but I'm 19. Just so you know."
