    Summary

    Rewatching S3 I picked up on a few of Scully's lines and actions, particularly the change in Scully's temperament between episodes 12 and 13.

    On their way home from Comity, Mulder and Scully move from sniping at each other to touching on the deeper issue. It turns out they've both missing some signs. This frustrates Scully that he can't see the signs she's sending, and Mulder is amused that both her Mom and Missy knew how he felt, but Scully seems to have no clue.

    “Sometimes, your inaction and your inability to read social cues can be quite infuriating.”

    “I…what?” He frowns.

    Scully sighs dramatically. “How many signs do I have to give you?!”

    Summary

    This is no dumb animal, Paul realizes with a sudden chill.

    'Who are you, little mouse,' the susurrations of the waiting worm seem to say. 'You are no child of my desert. What manner of creature are you that enters my domain?'

    'I am no one, Great Maker,' his trembling fingers reply as they sink into the dusty grains beneath them. They grasp at the rough texture in desperation, in supplication before this desert god. 'I am lost. My family is gone, my people are scattered, and I, with them. Where do I go from here?'

     

    tldr; I prompted myself: 'ok cool cool but like, what if Paul could speak to sandworms?'

    Summary

    “Give me a reason not to carve your heart out,” Ed whispers.

    And Stede can’t think of one.

    He can think of plenty of reasons he doesn’t want his heart carved out, but how could he expect any of them to matter to Ed?

    “Stede.” Ed’s voice breaks, dragging Stede’s eyes back up from where they’ve been staring at the floor in shame. “Please.”

    Summary

    "Do you like purple?" It was an inane question, but it soothed some of Stede’s own nerves. He hated these sort of soirees – filled with people ready to wriggle a verbal knife between your ribs while smiling at you – but it seemed there was very little he wouldn’t do to impress Blackbeard. Or rather, to put it another way, there was very little he wouldn’t do to try to make his new friend happy. And based on the smile before him, Ed was well on his way to being very happy.

    Stede helps Blackbeard style his beard before the party.
