It wasn't over for him. He did want to ask for more information, inquire about the details and the specifics. But now wasn't the time and he knew that talking about it further would only cause more upset, not only Jae but probably his father as well. Though emotional damage was harder to access than physical damage, and he made a note of that as she peered up at him. She had a point and she was giving him hopeful reasons too... But nodding between them both, he got to his feet and kept Jae close to him. "Fine, we'll head back. Take care of the city, father... and keep an eye for threats."

He nodded lightly back to the two as they got up, and got up himself. "My eyes will be quite open. No worries about that my son...you'll have a home to come back to. I can assure you that. Be safe, and remember what we talked about. On all levels that is." Giving thus a nod to Sylin who went about it's think of informing Rahsaveer and thus the two disappeared. For a long moment he watched the empty spot they had left, possibilities running through his head accompanied by worry.
Jae still didn't know how she was supposed to feel all the way...but maybe that was exactly how she indeed supposed to feel. Letting him pull her up she gave a nod to Lycear and tried to prepare at least a little for that disorienting trip. At the very least they didn't end up in a heap of each other, seeing as they were indeed still holding one another and the counterbalance provided them balance. "Are we going back to the Gale Claw?" Asking more or less because she didn't really know what to say at the moment.

"Commonly speaking, if the Captain dies, the first mate takes the ship. I was the first mate before richards, however due to extenuating circumstance, at the moment he has the position. however due to my relationship to Hunter, I will be laying claim to this vessel. and if that means going over richard's dead body, then that's what it means."
Speaking of Richards, he was back on the Chimera, going through various documents and such being provided for him by his captain to better this ruse. however, none of them were promising him or Thobias safe passage anywhere. He'd have to arrange for that on his own apparently.
But also looking over the deed to the schooner he's managed to liberate from it's previous owner. drunken men and rigged dice were wonderful combination for that sort of thing. Soon enough, they'd be looking for the Serpent, which undoubtably wouldn't be far. Fang never let prey out of hsi grasp after that close a clal as last time. though for safety they might be able to invoke the clause that this wasn't his territory.

He chuckled at Savryn and could just imagine the reaction his mother would have at that. Come to think of it, the reaction his mother hadhad at that...his head hurt remembering both the lecture and the spoon she'd broken over it. "Rules are indeed rules but rules were also made to be broken. I've heard rumor of a captain who'd be quite pleased to see you at the helm."
He was quite a forlorn dragonling, arms crossed and his head resting on them dejectedly, his little tail hardly swaying at all, more like limping along if such a term could even be applied. He raised his head as a shimmering cloud appeared in front of him and then blinked when Jaebelltiah and another much bigger dragon popped up. Male, too. Instantly, Cyvalor's hackles rose. "You took my beautiful Jaebelltiah away from me! Fiend!" This sort of scene often occurred at the tavern where he'd grown up and he knew of only one way to deal with it. Assuming a combative stance with his fists raised, he glanced back at her, "I'll keep ya safe Lovely Tail." Snarling at Kaznec, "Get your dirty paws offa her."
Another cloud shimmered before the older dragon and Eilynne shook her head. "I find myself quite at a loss for words, dragonlord and as that does not often occur, you'll pardon my silence for a moment." Letting it pass with a partial nondiscriminatory look. "I'll be brief. You chose to remain silent on the matter of marking and ceremony. Why?"

As soon as the "goodbye, father" left his lips, he found himself tugged through the dark tunnel again, warped through space and time until they arrived. It was still unnerving the second time around. Keeping one hand laced around Jae's waist as the other held her hand, he blinked a few times and stood still to let her steady. "We can, if the two ships are still traveling together. I'm not sure anymore at this point. But we do need to speak with the elf Savryn soon..." But attention as her name was yelled and he seemed to suddenly acknowledge that they weren't the only ones in the room. Fiend? Dirty paws? Keeping his ground, he glanced down at the little dragon rather curiously. He seemed to be trying to threaten but at the same time, was insinuating certain misunderstandings. Hmm... it was all very confusing. "Who is this?"

"Can I have Richards if you do happen to kill him? I kinda like him...he's mean to Hunter. Just try not to rip him up too badly." Chuckling again...she did have her own brand of humor she supposed. Kelligrin seemed to find amusement in it as well...though over necromantic thinkings or sibiling related memories, was the question. Either way she was good. "Pleased as in the evil sense or in the good sense?"
A nod in understanding...it was plausible to question whether Gem would put up with anymore of this after what happened, though her nod was followed by a blink. "Savryn? Why do-" Cut off mid sentence by the little dragonling who raised his voice and took up defensive gestures....it was kinda cute actually. "Enough of that...now then behave yourself." Turning a look back to Kaznec and giving his hand a squeeze and his shoulder a light nuzzle before pulling away from him some, at least enough to turn to Cyvalor. "It's okay...remember I told you about Kaznec? Well, this is Kaznec." Gesturing to the red and black before gesturing back to the gold. "Kaznec...this is Cyvalor. He's lives here."
He watched the small creature, noting the silence. That was probably some form of punishment in itself, seeing as silence of such sorts could make anyone squirm and their head fill with ideas. Though the subject that was brought up he was a tad surprised at. "Do you expect me to be angry, m'lady? I do not like what he's done...or how he's going to throw it away when he feels it's no longer needed. How he thinks it more a tool then what it really is. What I did speak on it, he took it as he always does and little can change his mind." Sighing and shaking his head...everytime he had tried to speak to his son of such subjects they always really went the same way. He suppposed it was his fault too for not correcting the behavior. "Besides...now is a not a good time to discuss much with him. His mind is with his mother." He did indeed worry for his son...so wrapped up and perhaps too afraid to find what Lycear himself had found with Laricalu, no matter how brief their time had been.

"Yes you may. he's knowledge would still be useful."
before her attention moved to Kelli.
"What rumors of which captain? You're client, perhaps?"

"Evil sense, of course. What human male can stand to see themselves outdone by a mere female? And you being a dragon will only make it so much better." He found it amusing that she kept trying to get information out of him, not that she was going to succeed but he might just give her a little tidbit to see how far she'd go. "Do you usually do favors for your bosses? I'm here for a friend."
"I'm not happy to meetcha but hello anyhow." Sniffing and scratching his cheek for a moment. "The one you were all worried about and pacing the floor lookin' for? Right afore you disappeared on me?" Crossing his arms and huffing. "He's gotta arm 'round you like you belong to him. Do you?"
"Your son has proven much more difficult than I first anticipated but no matter. What will be, will be." Watching the elder dragonlord and shaking her head. "It is neither good to forget or dwell on the past, as well you know. Those who dwell become bitter and forget the future and those who forget do not learn from their previous mistakes. Caution is best but this you do know. I did not wish for your ire but I do know your cautious mind as well as your steady heart. You wish for the union?"

Again, his lack of experience with young dragonlings proved to be a problem. This gold one wasn't like Sky, in that he requested knowledge or approval from him. No, he seemed to be wanting something else that Kaz apparently had. "He lives here, in the galley?" Glancing around as if wondering why he'd never noticed him before and then eyes back down to the little dragon. So he seemed chivalrous, but was misinformed nonetheless. "Hello Cyvalor..." Frowning and glancing between the two for a moment. "Jae doesn't belong to anyone. You shouldn't refer to her as such either."

"See, even I get something out of this and I don't even have to get my hands dirty." Running a hand through her bangs, making a few beads clink musically together before a slight yawn. "Don't flog a dead horse Des...you'll waste your time." Elbowing Kelligrin then in the chest. "If you plan on taking reverie on this ship, you better just take your sister's hammock. If not, you may want to make tracks."
"Yes I know." Yet he just couldn't take his son's methods away from him. It was difficuly and maybe the time would be better when his son was more at ease and the city wasn't in ruin, when the year was later and his wife's death didn't weigh so heavily on them both." Sighing lightly before looking at her in surprised fashion to her question. "I cannot make that choice for either of them..." He knew the two were close...she understood his son like no one else he knew, and Kaznec wasn't afraid to project any of himself to her...Lycear didn't know why it was that way, but it was.
She couldn't help the little melodic laugh that left her. "No not in the galley. On the atoll." Looking to the gold again, "Yes him. Guess what, I found him." Reaching a hand out and ruffling the child's blonde locks between his horns as she listned to Kaznec dismiss the child's words. Jae got the child's implications whereas Kaznec had merely taken them on a more literal level...she wasn't even going to bother correcting...she knew the answer already after all. "Did you finish your dinner? You can't go home hungry."

"I work for my 'boss' without favors. mine and hunter's relationship goes much farther back then this ship or my position on it, thank you. and you don't seem to have any friends. the only other elf on this ship has shown you more hostility then anyone else."
A slight smirk.
Richards went to the Claw, and waited on the dock just outside he had notes in order, papers in hand, and right now was waiting to see if Gem or Thobias would see him and allow him on board. he did follow the protocols, even if his captain didn't all the time.

"I suppose that means I don't get to reverie with you, then?" Teasing her just like he always did his sister. It was more amusing to him than anything else. He lightly traced his fingers along Savryn's ears and chuckled, "That's just because she happens to be the subject of said favor."
"That is not what I asked, dragonlord. Your opinion is just as important as theirs. A parent who does not approve can destroy a union just as one who does can bring one together. My companion and I have taken all into consideration and chosen to bide our time. I had hoped instinct might overcome rational thought but that does not appear to be the case. Still, higher eyes can see all."
"Well, good. 'Cause she's gonna be mine. I like her tail and she was gonna let me touch her." Giving a grin and then glancing around. "I live here now." Pointing at the ship stubbornly, then glancing up at her with a hurt expression in his big golden eyes. "It was real good but...you don't wanna see me stay?"

Desdemona got up and left the elves alone, noting someone else was present again by scent and heading to the galley.
"I see you've turned back up, Kanzec."
Before turning her attention to the little gold dragon.
"What she wants is not important. You are going back to Brishana, even if I have to drag you by your horns. Your place is not on this ship. you've no idea what your trying to get into and none of us have the time to play babysitter to you."

Well, he couldn't not believe it. For one that was so used to being fully informed, he was missing a lot right now, which only served to confuse him further. But watching Jae interact with Cyvalor, he gathered the facts and sorted through them. Though the little dragon's words made him pause and he glanced to Jae, frowning as she seemed to be encouraging him. Touching her probably wasn't harmful by any means but it still made him uncomfortable for some reason. "She agreed to be yours?" But eyes moving to focus on the dragoness that joined them and he gave her a nod in greeting. "It seems like I've missed much during the little time I was gone. Who let him onto the ship and why is he here?"

Oh boy, that little dragon sure was set on his mind when it came to things, but she blinked just as confused a moment and it seemed Kaznec just couldn't grasp this sort of behavior from the child. He was more of claiming what he wanted in child born selfishness rather than anything more meaningful. It was kinda cute. "Now Cyvalor, I never agreed to that. You touched without asking, remember what I said about that?" Her tail wasn't pleased either, evidenced as how it once more slid around Kaznec's ankle as it deemed his ankle the 'safe spot to hold'. Though the child looking like he was about to cry...she didn't like that. "No no. I like seeing you. But I don't want anyone to worry about you."
Turning to Kaznec and resting a hand on his shoulder in that comforting way. Focusing on all of this right now at least made her mind think less of other things. "Us girls ran into him...in the bathhouse. I left, but I don't know exactly how he got around us agin...I think captain Neerem had something to do with it...he's mentioned her quite a few times."
She blinked at that statement, not quite sure what she thought of it outright, but she gave a gasp and scrambled a moment on his lap before stumbling herself to her feet and whipping around to make sure she was facing him...or rather his general direction as hands moved to cover her ears a moment. Chy had flitted up to the supports during it all and was watching with head cocked. "Don't touch me like that." Elven ears...they were always so sensitive and what with her developed sense of feeling even more...they were even more potent to her when touched in certain manners. Manners like that to be precise. Look on her face clearly said she was grasping to refocus and decided to take the earlier subject. "You're a big boy...you can take it by yourself." On her guard again.
"I suppose I would approve of those two, yes, if that is the opinion that you seek." Listening and watching the little creature...and it seemed that she and her companion knew more about what was going on than anyone else. Hm... "Kaznec hardly lets go of his logic...best I can do it try to guide him and hope it follows his instinct on what's the better path than what's always logically right. You have to be patient with him on any level...but he has the makings of greatness in him."
