Pulling away Seth turned and viewed the damage as well, then shrugged.
"Nope," he answered with a quick grin. "my crew knows how to keep it together better than that."

Lucid gave him a look, then returned his gaze to the ship. He knew Lyra was on board. He could smell her.
"I suppose you should go and let Lyra know that it's safe for her to come out then, hm?" he said quietly. "She's probably ready to be back on land."

Seeing his fathers look, Seth once again grinned and then shot a glance at Gabriel, equally surprised by the flicker of emotion that showed on his fathers face, as if he could not wait to see the young woman again. Struggling not to laugh he turned and strode over to the ship, leaping easily back up onto the deck and heading below to fetch his fathers woman, he thought with a chuckle.

Lyra frowned as she made her way up the stairs that led up on deck, Seth following along behind her. She did not know why he was insisting she come out and get some air for a while. He had already dashed her hopes of staying. Although she had to admit she would love to sit on some solid, non-moving ground for a bit. Despite the fact that she was pestering him with question the entire way, she still stepped up on deck without knowing any more then when she went below. Pushing a hand back through her hair, she managed to push it back from her face and turned to give Seth a mock glare, wanting to know what was up...he looked far too pleased with himself.
"Alright...what is this all about?" she asked, a gentle breeze washed over her and made her face soften though she fought to keep the glare for a moment longer.

Lucid smiled warmly at the sight of Lyra. Moving over to the ship, he vanished his form, reformulating on the deck behind her.
"Welcome home, Dear." he said, slipping his arms around her gently.

Stunned pleasure washed over Lyra the instant the voice engulfed her mind. Turning, she smiled up into his eyes for a moment before wrapping her arms around him and pressing close. Breathing in his scent she buried her face in his neck and clung, not caring what she came off as.
"I missed you.." she breathed, not willing to let go of him yet.

He held her tightly, burying his face in her hair for a minute. He'd missed her so damn much. Heaving a small sigh, he pulled back slightly to look at her.
"I'm glad you missed me as much as I did you." he said, then brushed a kiss to her forehead. "Come on. Let's get off this ship and let the men get to work, hm?"

Stunned Lyra stared up at him for a long moment before realizing that Seth had probably asked him to come and get her out of the way...again the whole her safety thing. Not really caring that spending too much time in her company would make it harder for her when she had to leave again she smiled and nodded. He probably could have asked her to walk into the ocean with him and at that moment she probably would have done so, no questions asked.

Lucid scooped her up into his arms and vanished, going back down to the ground again. Once they had reformulated safely, he set her on her feet.
"If there is anything you need from your cabin, let me know now before we get you settled again in your room." he said, then turned and looked at Seth. "Thank you for keeping her on your ship all this time. I really do appreciate it."

Pleased with the offer, Lyra shook her head and leaned comfortably back against him. She had no need of anything in the cabin, not really. She was only staying for a few days after all. All she needed was behind her, and though she doubted Lucid would care for being compared to a necessity she was glad that the distance had weakened their blood bond enough that he had a hard time hearing her thoughts any longer. She had found herself thinking of him constantly while she had been aboard the ship.

Shrugging, Seth glanced away, still a little uncomfortable watching the two of them together, though he was happy to see Lyra smile like that. in truth he had grown very fond of her over the last century or so. Shaking his head, he met his fathers gaze, wondering at the emotion he saw suppressed there.
"You know I did not mind." he answered honestly, because it was true, he did not. He would do anything for his father.

Lucid smiled at his son for a moment, then turned and lead Lyra up the stone steps to the opening that lead into the castle. He was glad to have them both home and safe. More than that though, he was glad that fate had brought them back. He'd been planning to wait for a bit longer, as a test to himself, but was beginning to lose the battle. This turn of events had been nearly perfect. However, things might not be quite perfect yet. Jigsaw had taken a bit of a strange persona earlier. One that seemed a bit out of character even for the many facets of 'people' that inhabited the mask. Something was wrong, he just hadn't figured out what yet. He hoped it wouldn't cause too much trouble in his small paradise..at least for the time being.

"It is pleased I am that you are no demon." Ria said, staring at the woman's horns. "What is this priestess you speak of? Are you a mystic one?" Ria's eyes went wide again. "The shift between wolf and man, was it your will?" She stepped protectively between the women and the man, who had yet to rise to his feet. Ria was surprised by the surge of feeling toward the creature, almost as if she had found a child that needed care. The wolf could have killed her or injured badly, but chose not to do so. Knowing this had removed all the previous fear Ria had for the creature.

Nathaniel stared up at the two women, a bit lost on the conversation. The only part that settled in his mind was the question about the Haven. He glanced around to see if he'd thought to bring any clothes with him. Upon seeing that he'd neglected to do so, he sighed and stood. He wasn't ashamed of his body at all, but he wasn't sure the two women would be as comfortable with his nudity as he was.
"To answer your first question, yes, I live at the Haven." he said. "The answer to the second one would be no, I don't turn into a wolf because I want to. I do it because the moon dictates that I must." He glanced at the one with the horns again, curious to know if they were real horns or not. He didn't ask though. That would have been rude, even for him. Instead, he glanced toward the Haven.
"I can take you two there, if you'd like.." he offered, looking back to them.

Ria looked at him for a moment. Although her culture was not ashamed of nudity, rarely did she see such a man. Most of the man in her barbarian village were very large and brawny. This man was not small, but definitely well-sculpted. "Thank you," she said. "I very much could use a guide, losing one's self would be an easy thing." Bending down, she picked up her tunic from the ground. Holding out to the man, she gestured to his midsection. "If covering thyself is something you wish, this might help," she blushed slightly.
