SIXTY ONE: The Only Way to Keep Living

"Control the ocean?"

Dash shook his head. 

"Can you change the wind? Can you smother a forest fire?" He scoffed. "You should worry about the things you can control."

Kel snorted and crossed her arms. "Right! What can a powerless princess like me do anyway? I guess I'll just sit back and watch everything unfold."

"You know that's not wha-"

"Oh wait! I'm not even a princess! Should I just curl up and die now? That's something I can do!"

They both fell silent, shooting each other rigid looks. They'd argued until this point many times before, but this time the stakes were higher and the glares fiercer.

Like he always did, Dash looked away first. Unlike Kel, he grew quieter as his anger escalated. He preferred to steam to himself rather than explosively express his feelings, and he often ended things before Kel had a chance to get really heated.
