Perdita chuckled. "That sounds wonderful." Leaning over her bed partner, she placed a small kiss on his cheek and settled back down. "Good night. If I wake up early I'll try not to disturber you."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella nodded her head, though she stayed still till they were out in open space. Only then did she get up and walk to his side. Grabbing a small seat cushion off another chair and sat down on the floor next to her master, reaching up she took ahold of one of his free hands and held it.
~ ~ ~ ~
Chephnem giggled. "Nerds are funny."
Rockwell looked at the alien princess and gave her an odd look. "Any ways." He said turning back to the front window to look at the stars. "Where are we heading now?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Smiling the Baroness jerked her hands away from her husband to grab at her chest dramatically. "I can't help it. I must say she has stolen my poor heart. I have nothing left for you. I am actually planing to leave you for her the moment we meet up again." Stepping back the Baroness dropped her hands from her body to rest at her sides. "But really, wouldn't it be ashame to kill her?"

Within the hour, Farin and Cella had caught up the the shuttle and, of course, Farin was lucky enough to have unblocked access to the ship. He had bought it after all.
---
Inside the ship, Titania had noticed the other ship approaching for a while, but traffic wasn't so uncommon in the area. It wasn't until she checked for the ship's information that she grunted. "Oh boy."
"The Baron?" Michaels sat up quickly in anticipation, "Is he here?"
"No, worse. Farin. He'll be boarding soon, he doesn't need permission to board, so..." Titania rolled her eyes and trailed off for a moment until there was a noise in the underneath of the ship. She stood and stretched a bit, "Shall we go meet him?"
---
The Baron shrugged, "We'll just have to find out."

Rockwell sighed might as well go meet them, if they were here to help, they could use it. "So why doesn't he need permission to board the ship?" He asked walking down to the lower decks with everyone else. "I mean wouldn't it-" He stopped mid sentence when his eyes caught sight of who had boarded the ship.
Not Farin of course, he had never seen him before. But the young girl standing a step or two behind him. "Sarah!?" He walked away from his group to get a better look at the girl. "Sarah!" He exclaimed.
Cella had her eyes down cast, as she was most of the time. Yet that voice, and that name there both something she hadn't heard in a long time. Looking up her eyes widened as she inhaled quickly. "Rockwell?"
He was by her side in a second, looking her over, she had gotten older since the last time he had seen her. Embracing her fondly he pulled back to take a look at her clothes. Was that a slave collar? How could he forget, she had been born into slavery, unlink himself, he had saved enough money to buy her not long ago, when he returned to her owner, he had found her sold. Rockwell wanted better for his younger sister. "Sarah, I've missed you so much. I went to buy you, just like I promised. But by the time I got there you had been sold, he didn't know who had bought you. I'm so sorry." He kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Embarrassed by her brother's dramatics; must run in the family, Cella pulled away with a smile "It's fine Rockwell. My Master Farin in very kind to me."
Ah ha! So she was that guys slave. Rockwell kept his sister close as he turned to face the man infront of them, it was hard to tell his age, but Rockwell was willing to bet the man was older then himself. "Farin, was it? Please how much do you want for her? I'll buy her."
Chephnem stood their quietly as most of this played out. "Um do you two know what the hell is going on?" She asked in a low voice to the other two crewmates.
~ ~ ~ ~
"My dear." The Baroness said walking over to a mirror to inspect herself. "Might as well get a little cleaned up if we are going to have guests." She frowned at the sight of her hair. Maybe she need to let it grow out some. That might help with some of the waves that like to wreck havoc with the rest of her hair.

Titania burst out laughing when Rockwell offered to buy the girl. Although no one else seemed to think it was as funny as she did. "Honey, if you have to make a living working for me, there's no way in hell you can buy anything off that guy."
Farin, instead, turned to Cella. "You can go with him Cella, if you like. Of course, he has to make me an offer." He waved a hand dismissively, then turned his attention to Titania. "I hope you're happy with yourself."
"I usually am. Unquestionably I'm one of the hottest wanted criminals this side of the universe."
"You're a wanted criminal?" Michaels seemed to be a bit less surprised than he should be.
"She is now. Rev'tavketr is going to show up here and shoot you in the head."
"I'd like to see him try." Titania replied with a small shrug. "So, is he bringing the wife and kids?"
Farin shrugged. "Would it make any difference?"
---
"We're not having guests, My love, we'll be boarding their ship." The Baron was on his own planner. Obviously he had changed his mind from attacking on sight. "It looks like Farin's arrived as well. Won't this be fun?" He stood and proceeded to dress himself. "But you always look lovely, you don't have to impress them." He had sat down to tug on his boots.

Rockwell wanted to strangle the man "I'll give you 24,000 Klantons for her." He figured he shouldn't offer all he had, after all Farin was likely to ask for higher a price, and he needs room to bargain.
Lightly pushing against Rockwell Cella made a small protest. "Rockwell, please stop. I love you, but not enough to leave my home and my friends have there." Or Farin, but that was something she figured not best to voice.
"I can keep you safe Sarah. You won't have to worry about anything. I'll take care of you." Rockwell let his centcarity show. He loved his sister, the thought of her being a slave made him sick.
"Then I would still be a slave to your over protective ways and the fear of being taken as a slave again." Cella said calmly. "I'm happy were I am. Enough of this." Cella pushed her brother fully from her and walked back to around to the Master "I'm sorry Rockwell. But I don't want to go any where."
Chephnem could see the utter defeat in Rockwell's face. She felt for him. The slave girl clearly meant something to him, thought she didn't know what. And her put down had hurt him. Feeling a bit sorry for him she figured it would be best she stopped him from making a fool out of himself. "She said no dumb a**." Walking to his side she dragged him off a bit.
Snapping out of it a bit to feel something more then devastation. Rockwell glared at his sister's master. "You've brain washed her. I'll set her free of you, just wait." Suddenly nothing else going on mattered more then setting his sister free.
~ ~ ~ ~
Frowning Jaez' Ceptanz gave up in the mirror. "Farin? He's getting involved? I thought he hardly left his house any more, the shut in that he is?" Walking over to take a seat near her husband the Baroness sighed and laid back in the chair, in a very unlady like manor. "It has been a while since we've seen Farin. Or at least since I've seen him."

"Farin's not so sociable, plus he's a got a new slave I think he's really taken a liking to." The Baron smiled and walked over to pull his wife back up. "Come along, we're almost there, we had best be ready for the docking. I quite like the element of surprise."
He pulled her along as he made his way to their own ship's docking bay. "Let's get this over with, lovely. Then we can come back and do something that doesn't suck."
---
"Clearly you have less intelligence than you do wealth." Farin really would have preferred not to give the nuisance any more attention, but it seemed completely called for.
"Does anyone even take Klantons anymore?" Titania raised a brow and looked to Michaels.
Michaels shook his head an mouthed how he didn't know. He stopped though when he heard a noise from beneath them. "Uhm... Titania. This Baron guy... does he have unlimited access to this ship as well?"
Farin was first to reply however. "Of course he does, he's my brother."

"A slave girl hum?" The Baroness asked walking onto the other ship. "That's interesting. I'll have to ask him about her." The Baroness waited for her husband to join her and took up his hand. "I can think of some fun things to do when we're done." She wiggled a thin silver eye brow and smiled as they walked up to the small group. She knew better to then to get close, that would come once the Baron worked something out when he go what he wanted.
Cella for the first time in her life gave a attitude filled remark. "I'm not brain washed you're just blind Rockwell."
The Baroness chuckled. "Seems like we interrupted a argument of some kind." She said in her native tongue she could speak in English but she preferred less people know what she and her husband were saying.
The arrival of the new people stopped Rockwell from keeping the argument going. "I'm guessing that's them." he said looking to Titania.

"Well well well, Fairy, I didn't think you'd get here before me." The Baron chose English, unlike his wife, because he preferred it, and of course he was speaking with the other humans. "Beautiful to see you two together, I haven't seen you in the same room since the wedding."
"I assume you mean your wedding, since Nana chose a date that wasn't good for me."
"I did. Are you two talking yet?"
"I can talk to her, but she has yet to talk back. You would think if she didn't want anything to do with me she wouldn't have invited me in the first place. Right?" Titania turned to the Baroness, "Hi, Jaez, it's been a while."
"Shouldn't we be running?" Michaels had leaned over and spoken in a low voice. Although, the Baron didn't seem to be very hostile. Nor did he have any visible weapons. Just a woman who was probably his wife. And now, he was making conversation with the other Man, his brother, and Titania, quite casually.
Titania shook her head. "He's harmless, probably."
"I'm harmless am I?" The Baron raised his brow before he continued, "I think you're underestimating me, aren't you, Titania?"
"Yes." Farin replied, "The two faeries are the mischievous ones aren't they? Titania?" He looked to the woman and then to the man as he finished, "Puck?"
"Wait." Michaels was lucky enough to be a genius, and a rather quick one as well. "Are you... related... to them?" He had turned to Titania.
"Oh. You Shakespeare? I figured someone might know." Titania sighed, " Mom really liked Midsummer Nights. Like Really. And she also liked Tantour's Cordain, which is within the last five hundred years, but that's where Nana and Farin's names came from."
"And of course Puck and Titania are named for the faerie queen and that mischievous little b*****d that, oddly enough, he turned into."

Chephnem sighed "And here I was worried we might all end up getting killed, and you're their sister? Maybe you should have said something before?"
"So you pretty much had us worked up over nothing?" Rockwell said crossing his hands over his chest in an unhappy manor. He had been thinking they were going to get blown in the middle of space, yet she was family to the very people he was worried about.
Satisfied nothing too bad was going to happen the Baroness broke away from her husband to walk over to Titania with a large smile. "Titania! It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed embracing the women in a hug.
"Of course you to Farin!" Jaez' Ceptanz moved on to hug the other man and give him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm happy to finally see you out of your house."
Cella stepped back out of the way, unintentionally drawing the Baroness's attention to her. Noticing the women looking at her Cella dropped her eyes to the ground.
"And who do we have here, Farin?" She asked turning him to face the girl with her. "Is she the slave girl I've heard about?"

Puck sighed and pulled a gun out of his jacket. "Now now, I never said I wouldn't kill her."
Titania smiled and drew her own weapon. "I always knew it would be one of us killing the other. I'm just sorry to have to kill you in front of my favorite sister-in-law."
"Hey! Better idea!" Michaels feigned a happy expression. "How about you just give the men what they want, don't kill anyone, and we can all go our separate ways. Eh? I like that one. That's my favorite plan."
Titania rolled her eyes. "Chill, Michaels. He's had this coming for a long time."
"Yeah, but I think we should get going. If I don't make it in time, there's no way I can pay you."
Titania sighed and put her gun back into its holster. "I guess we'll have to do this another time, Pucky. I've got cash to make."
"Give me the parchment, Titania, and I'll let you go free."
Titania sighed. "Okay, it's in the beefcake's pants. Right in the front, that's where I stashed them."
The Baron shrugged and put his own gun away as he stepped toward the crewman, clearly with no qualms against putting his hand down the man's pants for his papers.

Rockwell stepped back as the man came closer. "When the ******** did you put them in my pants?" He asked reaching his own hand in and pulled them out. "And how they hell did I not feel that?" He held the papers out no way did he want another man's hands in his pants.
Chephnem laughed "It's case you have so much room in your pants!"
"Shut the ******** up Chephnem." Rockwell snapped angrily all the while the alien princess kept laughing.
The Baroness gave up on trying to get Farin to talk and moved on to the slave, as long as those two were working their problems out, she had a few moments to spare. "Hello child." She said stopping infront of Cella.
Cella glanced up at the women and then back down to the floor and mumbled some sort of greeting.
"Well now that won't do." Lightly placing her hand under the girl's chin she lifted her head up. "There now. I'm sure to be able to understand you. And don't walk around with your head down all the time. You'll end up with neck problems before you get Farin's age."
She waited to see if the girl was going to say anything and when she didn't the Baroness continued. "So you are Farin's slave?" She watched as the girl nodded her head. "And he makes you what follow him around and feel important?" She asked with a smile as the girl this time shook her head.
"Then what exactly is your job?" She asked noticing the human male with the crew seemed to be trying to listen in the best he could.
Cella flushed red unsure if she should answer or not but it was a direct question, something she was supposed to answer. "I am Master Farin's-" She paused trying to think of any other word other then the one the other maids liked to use for she wasn't sure what it really meant or if was even a good thing "I am Master Farin's whore."
The Baroness turned an unfriendly eye onto her brother-in-law "I know she's a slave still that seems a bit harsh."

"I didn't put them there, I mad Michaels do it." Titania shrugged casually.
"What? I did not!"
Puck had, at this point, snatched the papers and looked them over. They read "Here there be nothing." and "Try again later." He turned and dropped the papers, sighing an exasperated sigh, as he faced his younger sister, "Titania!"
The woman shrugged, "I thought it was cute. What would you say if I told you I already traded them?"
Wordlessly, the Baron pulled his gun again to point it at Titania's head. "Good enough answer for you?"
Titania shrugged, "They're in my jacket on the bridge. I'm sure you can find it on your own."
Puck sighed and returned his gun to its holster then walked away to the bridge.
Farin, in the meantime, heard what Cella said and, well, it irked him a little He knew that she would have likely picked it up from someone else talking that way. "Cella, we don't use that word." He turned up to his sister in law. "Cella's my assistant. I don't know what anyone else has been telling her it's called."

Rockwell almost ran over and socked the guy that owned his sister. But he could tell it wouldn't do a damn bit of good. If people were calling her a whore enough that she was using the term, he had to be using her for sex. His Poor sister.
Suddenly an idea began to form in his head as he watched his sister talking to the Baron's wife. "Sarah?" He asked walking over ow that the danger seemed to have passed he was more worried for her.
"I'm sorry Master Farin." Cella said blushing and dropping her head back down as her brother approached. "Yes?" She mumbled to the floor seeing her brother's feet come into view.
The Baroness seemed to relax a little "Well I guess as long as you're not the one calling her that, such a terrible word, he's right though young ladies shouldn't be saying it."
Her attention moved onto the other human "Is it not rude to just come up and interrupt a conversation, because I am sure that is just what you have done."
Rockwell seemed unimpressed. "I'm sorry. But I need to talk to Sarah. It's a bit important." Though he managed to not let the anger show, he wasn't sure how much more he could take.
"Hum, yes well. I am holding a conversation, unless someone is going to die because you don't speak to her at this moment. I find it a bit brazen of you to just try and bully your way into our talk." The Baroness didn't seem to like the human, not with the way he looked at Farin, with such loathing. "What I am trying to say, if you can't keep up is, piss off an wait your turn."

"Just like Jaez." Titania sighed. She turned to Michaels and gave him a small nod toward the bridge.
The smaller man seemed a bit horrified by what she was implying. He pointed to himself, but shook his head. "That man has a gun. I no longer have a gun. And I like it that way."
Titania grabbed his wrist and pulled him along despite his protest. "Chill out, I just need a witness if my brother decides to kill me."
"Why would he kill you, you're giving him what he wants, right?"
"Why do you have to put up such a fuss? I'm your captain, do what I say."
Farin chimed in before they started away, "Don't. Titania, You're not getting away until Puck has what he needs."
"Away like abandoning ship?" Michaels raised a brow and looked to Titania.
"She's done it before." Farin grumbled.
Titania scoffed, "I wasn't even gonna leave, Farin." She turned to face Michaels since she was close to him already, but spoke to her brother and she played with the boy's hair. "Stop trying to scare all the boys away from me, no one's gonna like me if they believe your bullshit."
Michaels pried the woman off. "No really, it's okay, but, uhm, here? You know. I think- Oh jeez something's happening in the engine room!" And as fast as he could, he ******** virgin." Farin muttered. He turned to his sister. "Don't look at me for that s**t, you scare them away on your own. What's taking Puck so long?"

Rockwell flt his anger swell. "How dare you talk down to me as if I was trash!"
The Baroness looked at him, not bothering to look disturbed by his anger. "To me, you are." With that said, she turned her back on the man.
Before Rockwell could attempt murder Chephnem grabbed the man by the shoulder and jerked him away. "Relax. When you try and act like a jerk you get treated like one."
"Titania, dear. It would be for the best if you just gave Rev what he wanted. He won't stop chasing you down and making your life suck until he gets what he wants." The Baroness said watching as the young man ran away with his tail between his legs. "Poor man. Be nice to him Titania."
"Any ways. Farin, you know, you're getting older, maybe you should think about settling down and having a kid or two. Got to have someone to pass all your wealth to." As weird as it may seem to some, she cared for both of her husbands siblings. And well settling down could be good for both of them. "And that goes the same to you, young lady." The Baroness wiggled her finger as if scorning a child.
