((*gasp* Plot devices!!!))
Kibo walks after her until they reach the Godspeed. By the time they got there, spirits had already begun carrying Sunny's clothes, still in their bureau, through the wooden barrier into Kibo's quarters.

Sunny watched as Kibo stepped out ahead to direct some of the ghostly workers. She set the hawk on her shoulder, (the hawk was on the smaller side), and took the chance to read her father's letter.
Daughter,
You are nearing twenty-two and still unmarried. The ladies are starting to talk and your father is having a fit. It appears a rival captain mocked you saying something akin to having him as a father is what makes you undesirable. Here it is you've sent dear Rex back, (who has gone about wooing your SISTER), and he tells me there's a man courting you! Why was I not informed? Who is this fellow and is he of ill repute? You're in Tortuga, darling, you'll find none worthy in such a place. Dearest... I only want what's best for you because I love you. You've caused me such worry. Come home and be with us. Your father will get over the whole 'inadequacy' thing when he sees your smiling face. Write back but don't send the hawk before letting him rest.
Love Always,
Mother
Sunny blanched as she read the note from her mother. She'd expected something from her father but this was much worse. She could practically feel her mother pushing her into a marriage from the very pages. "Bugger..." she cursed before slapping a hand over her own traitorous mouth. With a long sigh she looked up at Kibo and groaned, feeling a headache coming on.

Kibo was busy directing spirits when a small chill creeped up his spine. He turns around, aware of the sadness in Sunny's complexion.
Kibo: What's wrong, love?

Sunny jumped a little when Kibo spoke to her. She quickly crumpled the note in her hands and tossed it to the ground before reconsidering and scooping it back up; Tortuga disn't need any further litter. "Oh! Uh nothing.... I'm just sad... because it took so long for Rex to start courting my sister!" she managed to say. She hadn't realized her words could be mistaken as lingering feeling for Rex.

Kibo holds the note in his hand, having had a spirit swipe it and replace it with a blank sheet before it had even hit the ground.
Kibo: Nobody who cared for the hawks like your family would send him through all that just to deliver a message saying that Rex was wooing your sister.
He opens it, and quickly reads through it.
Kibo: Hmph, ill repute? He has obviously never heard of the Demon Admiral of the Caribbean. What do you suppose we do?

Sunny bit her lip and brushed back her hair. "I really don't know. I'm sending a letter back to talk about you. Father remembers you, I know... But mother... She's very critical. I'm worried she may even send my cousin to bring me back. We were very close and she just wants what she thinks is best... I just... I really don't know" she sighed as she pet the hawk on her shoulder.

A cloaked woman with a large brimmed hat pulled over her face walked into the tavern, sitting at the furthest table, with the least light shining upon it.
Putting a hand on the table she smiled, as a flame danced in the centre of her palm.
For anyone looking closely, a flash of bright red hair with a hint of black had escaped from the back of her hat.

Zia and Maida dropped down and folded smoothly into two of the three other spare seats at the newcomer's table. They grinned.
"Hullo!" "Hullohullo!" "Could you," "Do that again?" "The magic," "We mean."

((Yay, she's back!))
Kibo grins, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Kibo: Well then I guess the only thing to do is go to them before they send someone for you.

"The both of us? To meet my family? I.... I'm not too sure that's wise. I wouldn't want them to be.... err.... That is.... Well, we're very traditional....." she was flustered and began fumbling for words. "Father's ship is sailing and mother is planning a gala.... And possibly Hanabi and Rex's wedding...." she was desperate to spare Kibo the trouble of meeting her family. She actually gulped at the thought of how they'd treat him.

Kibo shakes his head.
Kibo: Nonsense! I've let you meet my foster father, Farind. I'm sure your parents won't be too bad. I'm pretty good at making first impressions. C'mon, it'll be fun!
He bent his knees, and hugged her arm, looking up at her with a cute look on his face; one that he had seen Zia and Maida use to get things from Storm.

Sunny laughed and turned to look away from him. "It'd work better if you tried a puppy dog pout, that cheshire grin reminds me of the twins" she said with a laugh. "I suppose I could write home and tell the family that you desire an audience with them. They'd eat up any excuse to see me. Just don't challenge my cousin, don't tease my father, and never turn your back on my sister" she warned.
"Now on to better things! Aubry and I have decided to open up a shop... A center market if you will, dominated by our combination clothing boutique and cafe called "The Silver Lining" and we want you to be a part of the venture..." she caught his eye with a wink. "Mostly me wanting you around, mind you" she teased, tweaking his nose.

Kibo pretended to n** at her finger.
Kibo: That sounds like a great idea! But I'm afraid I'm not much of the designer or the salesman, so my talents will be limited to pleasurable company only...
