Deimos quirked a smile at the swords acceptance.. It was even enough to distract him from the whistful tone in which Lenore spoke of Birvan. "Where did you get it?" He asked..
"Make him walk the plank!" He said, spewing phrases out as it seemed to make the shiny thing giggle. He liked that noise.

A dark, troubled expression flitted over Len's face briefly, and her hands clenched on her lap.
"I... there was some trouble, a couple weeks ago. He - the guy, y'know, this guy - he came here and hurt my family. And me. Mum came for me and killed him."
Her tone was flat and a curiously blank look had settled in her eyes. She touched her side unconsciously, remembering something private.
"He's a bad guy. ...I'm gonna keep people safe with Nevermore, to make up for what he did." She said, the flatness in her voice disappating as she shook herself back into the present.

Deimos half wanted to just drop the thing from his hands as Lenore spoke.. Instead he tried to keep his cool as he placed it back onto the table... Someone.. someone ahd tried to hurt Lenore? And.. and he ahdn't known.. He hadn't helped.. He almost felt sick..
"Failure!" Phobos said, whistling the ending music for a random video game death..
"I.." What kind of captain was he? That his own crew was hurt and he did nothing..
'You're weak... Untrained..'
Erebus was right. He was weak.. All these thoughs happpened in only a matter of seconds, but Deimos made no attempt to speak again. What could he say to her? After he'd promised to defend her.. adn failed..

Shivering at the memory of screaming, Lenore shook her head violently.
"No. No! Nevermind! It's not important!" She said, her voice determined. "I'm okay, and we're safe now. There was nothin' anyone could've done - he took me to hurt Mum. And she got him back for it."
Taking Dei's hand, she smiled, the haunted look completely gone.
"He told me he hurt you, but I knew he was lying. You're stronger than he ever was. And now he's mine. I own him." She said, the smile growing a little wry. "He'll never hurt anyone again." She squeezed Dei's hand slightly.
"Ever'thing's okay."

The pressure of Lenore's long fingers on his own comforted him greatly, more than er words did.. EVen though it shocked him to ehar that this man had told Lenore that he was hurt.. "I just.. I promised I'd defend you.. I said I wouldn't lt anyone hurt you, Lenore.." He said.. He wasn't stronger.. He was weak, untrained.. He couldn't defend Aunt Chao, he couldn't defend Lenore and even though she ahdn't even arrived, he felt like he couldn't even defend his own mother from that crazed woman who was after her...
'Part of our deal was that I'd give you lessons remember...
Deimos eyes seemed to brighten at the though.. With Erebus training him.. A smirk graced his lips.. "But.. I.. you're right.." He siad finally, returning thw squeeze to her hand.. He'd became strong and he'd defend her.. "I guess I just felt bad, that I didn't know.. You're part of my crew.. I don't want you to get hurt..

Tilting her head to one side, Len regarded Dei with an obivous expression of admiration.
"I know. You're my friend, and friends worry about each other and stuff. It's okay now. Nevermore'll keep us all safe." She hesitated, looking at the sword. "Once I learn how to fence, anyway."

Deimos didn't see the look she was giving him, his gaze turned elsehwere, anywhere but straight at her face.. "You bet and once I get ood with my dagger.." He said, pulling it out and gripping it tightly.. "Nothing will hurt us.." He said, his voice much more confident than he actually felt.

"That's right. We'll get rid of anyone who tries to get us," Len said, glad they were getting away from the topic of her kidnapping.
"We'll get them first..."

Deimos nodded fervently. He would.. He'd get strong enough to fend off any opponent that came thier way.
Riley up by all this exitement, Phobos stood up on his hind legs, speading his tiny wings wide. "Avast, ye scurvy dogs!" He cried out. Yes, Deimos ahd taught him plenty of those phrases.

A bit desperate to steer clear of any more unpleasant business (though it had been she herself who'd brought it up anyway), Len grinned at Phobos just to do something.
"Smart little guy, aren't you, Phobos?" She asked him sweetly. He was too cool for words, really. Settling abck against the couch and picking at the material, she looked around the room absently.
"So, when d'you think the Dawn'll be ready to sail? The ice on the lake's melting pretty fast," she said hopefully.

Deimos nodded. "Soon, real soon.. I've been practicing most veryday so that when the ice finally melts we can sail.." A sly grin grew on hisf ace as he remebered all the nifty little secrets he'd been learning, plus the ones Birvan had shown him.. Honestly, they could have sailed now, if Deimos wasn't so scared ice, or more so, falling into the water.
"Really bad eggs!" Phobos replied to Lenore's comment. He couldn't really talk, just spew back phrases for now, but he was really good at it.

Lenore smiled wistfully, toying with her hair dreamily.
"Oh, it'll be wonderful," she breathed. "I've never been on boat before - oh, just think about it! We could go anywhere, see ever'thing all around the lake... visit the islands, even! Oh, goodness!"
She was making herself extremely excited just thinking about it. She'd finally get to meet the rest of Dei's crew, for one. Besides that, they'd finally get to pillage and raid just like real pirates!

Deimos smiled at the look on Lenore's face. "And yu should see what I found out.. The Dawn can fly... well.. hover anyways.." He said. This was a big revelation when he was shown.

Giving a sudden, delighted laugh, Len clapped her hands excitedly.
"Oh, how freaking cool! Does that mean we could, I dunno, fly into the city to raid n' stuff?" The prospect was a terribly exciting one. If they could leave HQ, who knew what they could get away with...

Deimos grinned. "If Rex helped us, I bet we could.. The Dawn can hover a bit, but with Rex's Gravity powers.." A grin spread across his features.. They could do anything they wanted.. He had thought this out..
