[The following is a sequel to "Shipping Up To Belfast"]HOUR ONE:Salem sat with Kyra in one of the cozy compartments of his plane that had been converted into a private bedroom for her, tailored to her various interests and hobbies. Decorated with playful lighting and accessories, the pair were engrossed in a game of Mario Kart 64, Salem sitting in a big fluffy purple bean bag as his Kyra perched cross-legged on her bed.
The pair were playing Battle Mode in the Block Fort, Salem chasing his daughter with Yoshi as she evaded with Bowser. Three green shells surrounded Salem's kart, and with the faster character he appeared to be gaining on Kyra with intent to ram into her with his perimeter of projectiles!"I'm gonna get you! Muhahaha!" he teased dramatically, nearing his kid's kart as she ran through a mystery box.All of a sudden, though, Kyra started glowing and came to a complete stop just as Salem was about to make contact, activating a star that both blew out his shells and his last balloon!"HAHAHA! Got you AGAIN, Daddy!" she taunted back, rubbing her socked foot on the side of Salem's head.
With a laugh, he swatted her foot away, then started to select another level with a chuckle."Yeah, yeah...rematch, punk." he grumbled with a grin, reaching over to wiggle one of her toes to a burst of giggles.

From the rear of the plane came the sound of rapidly running water. Soon after takeoff, he claimed one of the back bedrooms for himself and decided to first grab a shower. He took note of how spacious the walk in shower was, the gold covered knobs and the extra fluffy towels and robes he could wear afterwards.
Truth be told, he could get used to this, however it did still feel a bit foreign to him, being a loner for so long. He turned the knobs and adjusted the temperature before he got in.

What to do. Trent would find his way exploring each room. Finding his way across bedrooms, bathrooms, the bar, showering rooms, an arcade, and many others. It's crazy to think how spacious this plane is and how much support it has. Finally, Trent approached a small gym setup, checking inside for a moment. Two racks and some cables to work with.
"I really need me one of these things. Got to ask Salem what the pricing looks like."
Trent would then step back out. Looking at direction plaques, he would notice that a door down there was an ice bath and a sauna. He hasn't really had the time to use any of those for a minute now, and felt like a nice sauna, a light workout, and an ice bath would definitely be a worthy time investment.
Who knows, with the given time after that, maybe he could check some of the areas of entertainment and get a meal. But first, he would get into the locker room and prepare for the sauna.

With the run off of age regression Salem and her daughter, to play fiddlestick racing, on a console that Fox used to use as a weapon.
Emiko took a comfy chair, secluded in a hideaway from 'Salem and Friends'.
Pulling out a laptop and phone, for work purposes, checking her current stocks on phone, while waiting on the computer to boot up.
Glancing in front of her, than taking a second look.. at a steward attendant stood by her. "Can I help you?" Sone asked, in curiosity.
In kind response, "Oh, that's what I'm here for. Can I help you?" Emiko quiet, as she stared and contemplated her choices. Tempted in choosing a prohibited drink.
Choosing to abide by The Blue Blossom's laws, "Surprise me with some non-alcoholic fruit drink." Sone selected and returned attention to a booted up laptop.

HOUR TWO:
Salem and Kyra were snuggled together in her room, the duo no longer playing Mario Kart but instead watching "Princess Mononoke" on the TV. At present, the titular character was dueling Lady Eboshi inside Irontown, the Princess' daggers matching steel with her enemy's sword.
As the pair danced and clashed, Kyra watched intently, transfixed by the beautiful art and animation, almost slack-jawed in her awe of it. Salem stroked her side and tucked her in, hugging her as the pair enjoyed one of his favorite movies in a moment he was glad to share with his daughter.

Once his shower was done, he headed to the bar to grab some water to rehydrate after his shower. As he listened to the gentle hum of the engines, he settled into a chair and let his mind wander for a bit before his eyes became heavy and he headed off to bed.

A pineapple mango drink, halfway finished in a cupholder, Emiko smiling contently, at the few million she managed to garner in.
Leaning her head back relaxed, Sone figured it'd be best to check in on if now would be a good time to make a phone call.. thumbs texting out a request.

After building up a sweat and jumping in some icy cold water, Trent would have built up quite the appetite. He would end up searching the halls furthermore in order to find where the catering area was. Upon finding it, he would look among the many dinners he could get. Finally feeling content, he would pick out one of the breakfast meals. Containing an omelet, bacon, sausage, a nice muffin, and finally he would retrieve some milk.
Breakfast is always good, especially right before you head to bed. Trent would then head on out to find a bedroom that wasn't occupied. Looking to use the television to watch whatever first catches his eye on the TV. Once he was finished with his meal, he would toss the tray in the garbage near the bed, and pass out for the night. No longer being able to resist the bed that was calling for him.

HOUR THREE:
Kyra and Salem were snuggled in her bed following the movie, the little one tuckered out from the excitement and the altitude. Her father, meanwhile, simply held her with one arm, the other browsing his phone. A message popped up, connected over the plane's wifi network, and Croft was about to disregard it until he noticed the sender. "Mikey", the name said, a cousin of Salem's in Belfast. "Needa call me, cous. Yer sis is mighty steamed." the text read. A brief thump pulsed in Salem's head at the messages implications, Salem putting his phone down and trying to close his eyes, as if to avoid the matter with sleep.

He laid back on the bed and stared out at the darkened sky from the window. Usually he would be afraid of heights, but traveling in this kind of plane, he was more relaxed. The slow drifting of the clouds and the gentle hum of the engines soothed him and put his mind at ease.
He crawled between the sheets and after shifting to a comfortable postion, was fast asleep.

Trent had eased into his bed. Still not fully passed out. Excitement or possibly some sort of nerves keeping him up. He would explore his social media, Youtube reels, anything that slightly took his attention. Waiting for that wave of exhaustion to sneak up on him.
Finally, twenty minutes into his browsing of the web, the feeling hit. Feeling satisfied with his day and knowing he will need rest for the day following, he would turn off his phone and turn in for the night.

The pineapple mango beverage remained at the same level last seen, laptop still open, yet the screen had timed off.
Emiko was sitting back in her luxurious plump chair of comfort, conked out well before all others.
In a slacked jaw, drool dripping drip drip drip, right onto her hair draped shoulder. Sone's head leaned off to the left, chin side resting on collarbone.
Breathing slow, quiet, and heavy. Deep breaths for a deep sleep.

HOUR SIX:
Salem was awoken to the sound of a child's yell, his eyes snapping open and body tensed for action instinctively, only to see his daughter leaping off the end of the bed onto him in a frog splash-like maneuver! Coughing from her unceremonious landing, Salem laughed and grabbed her up, pulling the blanket they'd been doing around her head to blind the child as he squeezed her in a hug!
"Extreme Rules!" he declared, using his free hand to noogie the girl's head through the blanket to a protest of squeals, squirms, and giggles!
Rolling her over, Salem would bounce the mattress beneath Kyra to shake her on the bed as his daughter now fought a handicap match between himself and the blanket! As she tried to flail out from under the covers, Croft would roll Kyra to her back and blow a wet raspberry on it, making a loud, crude noise that made the girl laugh and struggle uncontrollably!
"Okay, OKAY! You WIN, DAD!" she declared with a blend of amusement and frustration, Salem standing up next to the bed and holding his tag title high!
"Yeaaaah!" he proclaimed, cupping a hand over his mouth to simulate crowd noise. "And the fans love it! They're on their feet! Daddy is UNDEFEATED!" he said, cut off by a sudden pillow launched by Kyra into his face!
