"Well." Zane said trying to remember the first time he had met War. "I think he had just got back from a hit, clearly not you, and he was already moving onto another one. I just happen to be friends with the person he was after."
~ ~ ~ ~
Chephnem stuck her head out from her hole, she was already beginning to feel guilty. She would have to go check on him later, when Titania wasn't around on him.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell was sitting up when the two came in. "What happened to you? I thought you were just checking on the engines Michaels."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella moved around to adjust to the new position Farin had laid in. "Good night Master Farin." She said with a small yawn. Maybe she was a little sleepy, though she doubted she'd actually fall alseep.

"It's hard to imagine any kind of benign acquaintanceship with a man who kills my friend. Is that odd?" Nana shook her head, "No, not for most of us." She sighed and opened a screen on the dashboard of the vehicle to browse through the current news, knowing full well that the ship was completely capable of piloting itself.
---
Michaels winced as Titania helped him onto one of the infirmary's beds. "Yeah, I was. I had a mishap with one of the panels in the room and, I guess it's broken."
"You're lucky the break's not worse." Titania grunted, "She's lucky I don't-"
Michaels cut her off with a weak smile, positing a hand gently on her arm. "I told you it wasn't her fault. Accidents happen in the engine room all of the time."
Titania looked at him for a long moment before she sighed, "Okay, fine. Whatever you say. I'll go get your fun-remedies. I'll be right back. Don't move." She pat his arm in return before she headed off into the deeper part of the infirmary, leaving the boys on their own.
---
Farin was already tired so he was asleep within a few short moments.

Zane shrugged. "Can't say the guy didn't deserve it. He was a bad guy, just not a terrible one." Zane fiddled with the planner in his lap, even though it was off, he wondered if he could get a message to Rina. But he figured he's best not try.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell raised a brow. "What did Chephnem do? I know the girl has a temper, but I've never known her to hurt a friend." He would have gotten up, but her wasn't quite sure just how much he was healing. What ever they had done to him while he was out, sure worked quick though.

Nana shrugged, "We can't all be reformed badasses, or whatever War calls himself now." She glanced up at the rear-view screen to see the man in the back, "Although you might want to give it a try. All girls like a bad boy, but really the ultimate goal is always to make him into a better person. I'm sure your girl just wants the same."
---
Michaels leaned up to peer around the corner the best he could. He was checking to see if the coast was clear of Titania. While he certainly knew the princess had intentionally thrown the panel, he was almost sure she had not actually intended on hitting him, or hurting him so much. In ways before, she had demonstrated not knowing her own strength. He mouthed and mimed rather dramatically, "She. Threw. The panel. Down." He laid back down and raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, it hurts." He spoke aloud this time.

"She's said something along those line." Zane sat the scrapbook down off to his side and relaxed back into the seat, he'd have to think of a way out. There was no way he planed to spend more then a week in prison. "Seems like you have talent for reforming men eh?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell didn't laugh, as much as he wanted to. This was new for the alien. "That sucks." He said aware of why he was being so quite. A war between Titania and Chephnem wouldn't end well. At least not on such a small ship. "Got stuff to fix that up?"

Nana smiled quietly and shook her head, "No, just one. I didn't even do that on purpose." She sighed, "Though it doesn't surprise me that she would take the same stance as me in that regard. The work you guys do is dangerous and illegal. Anaxatar is ruthless when it comes to the state of their citizens, and if you're a pirate or a mercenary, anything, they deem you unsafe for their empire and have you jailed, and preferably eliminated or worse they wipe your slate clean and you end up some mindless drone. I've seen it all done before. Luckily enough you get a trial, but it doesn't help much when all popular opinion is against you."
---
Michaels shrugged, "I hope so. I have to get back to work."
Titania came back around with a few small bottles of different colored tonics. She placed them all on a small side table and sat down on the edge of the bed beside him. "How are you feeling?" She unscrewed the first top and reached for a small pad to begin application onto his leg. She nodded to the bottles on the table at the same time. "Drink the dark purple one."
Michaels nodded and did as the woman said. He tossed back the tonic, making a disgusted face. "Sick." He smiled and thanked the woman anyhow. "What else do you need?"
Titania smiled meekly, "The brown one, and you have to drink the green one now. It's gross too, I'm sorry, but I promise you'll be better within the hour."
Michaels did as instructed and then, as Titania seemed to want him to move over, he obliged willingly.
Titania smiled and crawled into the bed comfortably to lay with Michaels while his leg healed. "Are you sure you'll be okay?"
Micahels nodded and smiled, "I'll be fine." He relaxed a bit more and looked over the woman's head at the other man, "Are you doing any better?"

Zane just rolled his eyes. "I still say I'll be out of here." He smirked to the women through the mirror as the planer came to life again. Beeping and buzzing loudly. "Sounds like you have another call. My, my aren't you a busy girl."
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell struggled to sit up and swing his legs off the bed. "If that wasn't a hint to get lost I don't know what is." He slowly lowered his feet to the floor and stood testing just how much his body recovered. "Yeah I'll go back to my room and get some actual sleep. Night love birds."

Nana glanced at the planner suspiciously and pulled a small corded device out of the console beside her. She plugged it in to the top and bottom of the planner and ordered, "IDA scan." The system did just that and announced that the incoming call was safe. "Answer then." The system did just that and Nana raised a brow as she answered, "Can I help you?"
---
"Ah that's not what I meant." Michaels called after the man, "Really." He sighed, "Really, is that what it sounded like?"
Titania just smiled and shrugged, "Maybe he just thought it would make you feel better. Are you feeling any better?"
It was Michaels's turn to shrug, "It still hurts a bit, but I'm sure it will get better soon. I broke my arm once as a kid, and I just remember it being much worse."

A young officer appeared in a hologram in the center of the planer, he looked worried, if not at a lose of what to do. "Yes, hi Ma'am uh," he paused and scratched the back of his head. "I know this isn't um, protocol. But The women here well she's crying . Uh and well demanding to speak to your captive." He looked around again "She won't stop crying."
Zane leaned in to try and see the man in the screen. "What's the matter?!" he demanded fear someone had hurt his beloved Rina.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell thought about going to see Chephnem, but he'd rather not have something thrown at him at the moment. Walking to Farin and Cella's room he knocked softly at the door, if they were sleeping he didn't really want to risk Farin waking and forcing his sister to bed with him again.
Cella was a light sleeper and was wide awake from just the sound of him walking down the hall. Carefully slipping out of Farin's arms and out of bed, Cella walked to the door and stepped out. "Rockwell!" She was excited to see her brother up and around so soon.
"Hey Cella." He smiled just as happy to see his sister unharmed. "I was worried you had gotten some of the hit any ways."
"No thanks to you I'm fine." Leaning in she placed a soft kiss on her brother's cheek.

"Cool." Nana replied. "Tell her to shut up or I pump her loser boyfriend's head full of Djarfalien Acid. Sound cool? I didn't think so. Don't call me for stupid s**t. Girls crying, all girls do is cry! You wanna tell me she's chewed an old school cyanide tablet, that'd be a good call, but for gods sake, crying?"
---
Farin shifted uncomfortably while Cella crawled out of bed, but ultimately he stayed asleep.
---
Puck was at his desk when he received an incoming call on his home line, while he was on another, "If you'll excuse me, I have a family matter, Korchev, my brother's calling." He said his goodbyes and switched lines, "War. To what do I owe the honor?"
"Just a few simple questions, Puck. You got the time?"
"For you baby, anything."

The officer fidgeted, clearly not comfortable with the situation he was put in. "Ma'am. Please, uh she says it's important." He paused and distance crying came through along with some muffled words. The officer coughed. "She wants to tell him he's pregnant." He said leaning forward and lowering his voice.
Though it was of no use, Zane heard what the officer said. Zane was a bit ruthless, could kill someone with out much of a thought, rob someone blind along with a list of other things he could do with out a bat of an eye lash. But the news of Rina carrying his unborn child, was a little much, and with in a second he was laid out on the floor passed out cold.
The officer saw movement off to the side of the seat. "Oh, did he hear that?" The crying on the other end got louder as Cathrina guessed something was wrong.
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella looked over her shoulder a few times before sighing. "Thank you really, but I must get back to bed, Master Farin doesn't like sleeping alone."
"And that is messed up Cella. You should be able to get up when you want and go to bed when you want, with out worrying if you'll get in trouble. You're not a kid." Rockwell said, his mood plummeting.
"You wouldn't understand Rockwell. You're not like me. I'm not a kid, I'm a slave, my life is his to do what he feels as right." Cella said with an exasperated sigh. "You just wouldn't understand."
"Cella please, let me set you free. I could get you a place of your own, we could find mom buy her freedom, and we could have a family again." Rockwell took up Cella's small hands in his own and looked into her eyes.
Shaking her head she pulled her hands away softly. "No I can't have that life, nor do I want it. Excuse me Rockwell. But I am tired and wish to return to bed." Stepping back the door slid open and she retreated back to their room. With a soft sigh Cella tiptoed back to bed and crawled back in under the covers, doing her best not to disturb Farin.
When their odd relationship first started, Farin had seemed to wake with every movement she made, even when she was just going to the bathroom. So she had adjusted her own sleeping habits to limit the times to got up, even drinking less before bed so she would have no need to get up.

"Oh he hath swooned." Nana replied, "Keep the b***h under control, damn it. I don't need any extra drama." She rolled her eyes, "now, handle the woman by yourselves, and, to the woman, you can visit him in prison when the whole incarceration thing goes down."
---
Farin blinked when the girl returned to bed and moved so she could climb into a more comfortable spot. "Everything okay, Cella?"
---
Puck stood up from his desk and sighed as the call ended. He turned to walk away but as the automatic door opened, he found himself faced with a small child standing in the doorway. His face softened into a smile as he reached down to pick up the toddler at his feet. "Hey bugger, what are you doing wandering around on your own? Where's mommy and sissy?"

The officer nodded his head a few times as the wailing on the other end grew. "Uh excuse me then." he disconnected the call.
After a few moments Zane groaned loudly. He laid half way in the back seat and half way out of it. Another small groan and he sat up, rubbing his head. Zane messed his hair more then is normally is. "For ******** sake."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella crawled in so she could lay more snugly against Farin, one of the best ways to sleep if you asked her. "Yes Master Farin. I'm sorry for disturbing you." She said softly, sitting up slightly she planted a small kiss on his forehead before laying back down all the way.
~ ~ ~ ~
The Baroness was never more then a few paces behind her toddler when she was watching him. For a child he sure moved fast. "Thank you for apprehending that one." She said with a sigh coming up to the child and her husband. "Little brat keeps running off the moment I take my eyes off him." Jaez' Ceptanz sighed heavily "The other one is taking a nap and soon as I mentioned nap to this one." She poked him lightly in the nose. "He took off."

"How you doing back there, Papa?" Nana called back as she heard him wake up again, "Ooh boy if you're right about the girl's dad is he gonna be pissed!"
---
Farin just smiled to himself in the dark. "It's alright Cella. Goodnight."
---
"Oh, just like daddy." Puck smiled and laughed, "Well, like Daddy used to be. Now if you mention bed to daddy he's right there!" Since he smiled and laughed, his son did the same, despite the fact that hye had no idea what his father was laughing at. "How about a story, huh kiddo? What says Mommy?"

Zane groaned and shook his head once more. "Her father is going to flip a lid, he's going to want her to be married." Zane shuddered, he had thought of marring her, he just hadn't thought it would be with her father holding a loaded gun to his back. "He's going to try and neuter me. Or disown her."
~ ~ ~ ~
"Goodnight Master Farin." Cella sighed softly as she laid and arm across his waist.
~ ~ ~ ~
"It's only a nap, not bed time." She laughed "But if you really think a story will help put him to sleep then fine." The Baroness leaned over the child in his arms to give the Baron a kiss. "Then maybe we can have some bed time of our own?" The Baroness moved back out of the way as the toddler made a bothered noise.
