 Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ Lavi examined the knots that the younger Alpha had tied, following close behind him with a critical eye. He calmly fixed each knot as they went down the line and offered a small but kind smile to Ryder as he realized just how much needed to be done. "You're tying them a little too loose. Use less rope and be a little more confident with your fingers." He took a spare piece and retied the rope to show Ryder the right way to do it. It wasn't a complicated knot but could easily be a slipknot if done incorrectly. He looked up a little after Ryder did, his eyes sparkling as they caught the familiar visage of the Captain. "Keep at it, kid. I'll be right back." He patted Ryder's shoulder absently as he stood and moved towards the helm, hands clasped behind his back once more and a teasing smirk on his face.
"You look relaxed," commented the dragon as he neared Declan. "Mahanon has that effect on people, as I recall. A prince and an elf in so little time, Captain, I have to admit that even I am impressed with your stamina, as legendary as it already is." He stood to the side of the helm, reaching out a hand to touch one of the prongs. He wrapped his long fingers around it, thumb rubbing suggestively comparatively more seductive than the cool, calm expression on his handsome face.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Declan looked up at Lavi with a small smile as he joined him. He looked down at Ryder then up at him again. "I'mm a wizard Lavi, a simple spell helps a long way." he chuckled and looked up at the dragon. "I don't suppose you remember last summer..." he teased before turning his attention ahead once more. His gaze shifted to Lavi's and he leaned his head back to look at him. "You look like you're having a great time out here" he told him, "perhaps I should leave you to babysit the crew more often." He moved his head, looking forward again. "Mahanon should sleep well tonight." he explained, "And tomorrow... he may have gotten me to over do it for him" he chuckled, thinking of the now exhausted elf before looking to Lavi's hand once more. He was nowhere near at his own limit... at least with his spell still intact. But he wasn't going to leave the crew without someone to man it. That wasn't how he worked.
Taking a breath, he turned around and leaned against the helm, crossing his arms as he looked up at Lavi. "So, about that new recruit, what all do you know about him?" He asked, kicking a leg against the helm, his back and foot keeping it steady as it went. Declan had been at this a long time and learned some tricks along the way. It explained why he loved it so much, being a free spirit to do as he pleased. It was difficult for him to settle in one place, having not settled before. "Lavi" he whispered, becoming silent for a moment before sighing. "It's your turn for some rest." he explained, nudging him gently with an elbow. "I can man the deck. Take your new pet and get some rest." He smiled up at Lavi before turning to face the sea once more.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ He feigned a scratch on the side of his nose and looked away, the memory of last summer a fond one that made his eyes glimmer in a way he didn't want the crew to see. He chuckled, bowing his head, and toeing the wood beneath them. He shook his head, then looked back out to the horizon. "He missed you greatly while you were gone. Tried to take out his jealousy on the mouse that clambered aboard the Siren. Mahanon... He does not take well to change." Lavi grew silent for a moment, weariness suddenly aging him. He let the question and its answer linger in the air: Lavi would not leave soon, but he would leave eventually. He could not bear this life forever, no matter how many stamina spells Declan was skilled at. He sighed deeply, then allowed himself a small smile at Declan's suggestion.
"The lad is young and inexperienced with the sea," he revealed. "It is my opinion that the lad has yet to fully comprehend his own power as an Alpha Dragonborn. I am not sure he has even reached peak sexual maturity yet, although most experience their first heat in their twenties." He shrugged, looking towards the little mouse briefly before returning his gaze to Declan. He wanted to explore what sparks flew between himself and the thief, but the innocent virginity of the younger male hung over him like a storm cloud. He was so much older, and more to the point already had given his heart away. Speaking of...
Lavi moved close behind his captain, hands to his hips and mouth by Declan's ear. "Rest is not exactly on my mind at this moment, Captain," he muttered, voice low and rumbling. "I missed your presence as well, only I do not have Mahanon's gift for overt monopoly. I would much rather remain out here by your side than toy with a maiden dragon." One of his hands drifted to Declan's waist, his eye half-lidded and he pressed his lips to Declan's temple.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Declan nodded as he thought about what Lavi said. It was true, Mahanon was not great with change... He took a breath and looked up at Lavi as he spoke about Ryder. He turned to look at the young dragon as he worked on retying the stays Lavi had pointed out to him. The man seemed irritated though mostly with himself as he worked to fix his mistake. Declan's gaze returned to Lavi and he smiled as he kept his arms crossed. He was going to speak when Lavi moved in closer to him. He felt Lavi's breath on his ear as he spoke, explaining what he wanted in his own way before pulling away. Declan felt a slight heat to his cheeks as he looked up at Lavi. "If that was all you wanted why didn't you just ask?" he asked before nudging the man again. He looked over the the mouse and then up at LAvi again. "The difference between the two of us Lavi is that one is moldable." he explained, stopping when he felt Lavi's lips against his temple. Lavi was the only one who could get him to react like this and sometimes it made Declan irritated. He wasn't some little boy... he was a captain, a warlock.
He turned away from Lavi and caught his breath. "Are you sure you're not a seductive dragon? Is there such thing?" he mused as his hands found the helm, holding onto it instead of doing anything else. He wasn't sure he could give himself that mucch stamina. Lavi compared to Mahanon was a diffrent story. Sure the elf could keep going for a decent time, but the dragon... had his own set of stamina that often left Declan exhausted for a few days.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ Lavi chuckled, closing his eyes for a moment as he kissed Declan's cheek gently, catching the scent of Mahanon's oils and soaps. "I wouldn't dare insist so soon after a romp with Mahanon, Captain. Even I am not that much of a brute." Besides, he still had so much left on his mind about what to do in the future. His self-imposed deadline was coming up fast, and he knew he was likely to postpone it as soon as it fell. He couldn't allow himself to get caught up in Declan's embrace before he took the time needed to actually weigh his options. Lavi sighed softly and wrapped his arms fully around Declan's waist. He set his chin on the captain's shoulder and gave himself a moment to enjoy the body he was so enamored with for only a few seconds before reluctantly pulling away and moving aside. His demeanor changed, whether he knew it or not, and he looked away from the helm.
"My captain, I will come to you tonight. Making love to Mahanon requires stamina spells, but I will bring you back down so you may sleep." He reached for Declan's hand, kissing it gently and looking up at him with burning yellow eyes, his glamour fading for their private moment. "The mouse is pretty, I'll give him that, but the strong beauty of a man at his peak is far more befitting of my... appetite." He smirked, kissing Declan's hand once more before releasing it.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Feeling the dragon's lips on his cheek, Declan felt his cheeks heat up and released a breath as he listened to Lavi tell him he wouldn't insist on it that soon. He felt Lavis arms wrap around him and his chin on his shoulder. Declan was confused as he looked at Lavi, bringing his hand to rest on top of the man's dreadlocks. They were silent a few seconds before he pulled away. Declan looked up at Lavi as he spoke, turning to him a bit as he took his hand gently, kissing it. A night with Lavi? Declan would enjoy that. It meant no bad dreams or bad thoughts. He drew in a breath and nodded to him, smiling as he looked over at the mouse before back to Lavi. He felt him kiss his hand again and release it, a bit confused as to why Lavi was acting this way.
After a few moments, he cleared his throat. "Go get some rest Lavi. I look forward to your visit later" he explained before taking hold of the helm once more. He focused on his job, keeping the ship above water and making sure everyone was doing what they needed to do. He watched Lavi, his mind drifting to the dragon and why he was acting as he was. Brushing his hair back with his hand, his gaze then moved to the Mouse, wondering how well he would adjust to their crew or if he would stay at all. Perhaps this would ensure he stayed out of trouble... being with them. He wasn't sure, but he was curious. Declan drew in a breath before looking up to the sky. The night was slowly adjusting and turning into the next day. He smiled as he closed his eyes, simply listening to the sounds of the night.

Ryder had been focused, working on tying the knots how Lavi had shown him. He finished a few and looked them over, making sure they didn't come apart before moving on to the next set. He finished the set and smiled at his handy work, glad he'd been able to do it correctly. He drew in a breath and looked around, stretching. He was growing tired, blinking a few times to wake himself up. After he finished stretching, he turned, looking up at Lavi and Declan. He felt his cheeks heat up as he watched them. They were so calm, so content around each other. It made him jealous to watch. Turning, he drew in a breath and leaned against the post. Why was he jealous? He didn't know any of them... he was just there because he'd had a job. Had he turned it down, someone else would be there... or dead... speaking of dead... he looked around wondering where the elf had gone too or what the Captain had done to him.
His mind going back to the older dragon, he looked down, kicking a small rock that had managed it's way on deck. Why was he so conflicted about this? The other dragon obviously cared more for the Captain... but the Captain didn't return the feeling? It confused him, making him wonder just what their relationship was like. He looked at his hand, focusing a few moments and watching his talons appear, his eyes turning shades of gold and red mixed together. After a few moments, he broke the focus and the talons went away. He had to grow stronger... He was a weak alpha... barely able to stand up to others like him. He would never make it to stand up to the Alpha back home if he didn't start doing something abou it.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ Lavi nodded and raised two fingers to his temple in a lazy salute. "As I am bidden, my Captain." He turned on his heel and started down towards the deck, pausing by the railing and looking out at the sea. He had learned to love the sea because Declan did and did appreciate the freedom it brought with it. However, the unruliness of it did remind him of his shaky footing on the ship. He had a place he belonged, a job that he did well at, and two bodies to warm his bed on any given night, but it didn't fit right. Maybe it was the loss of his magic that was causing the rift within himself. He raised his hand, a small flame appearing as his eyes glowed yellow and his talons began to p***k out of his fingers. He quickly closed his fist, extinguishing the flame and returning to normal sooner than the alternate had appeared. This was as much magic as he was willing to allow himself and even that had been too small of a taste.
He sighed deeply, then continued towards Ryder and crossed his arms. "Good work, Little Mouse. Now come with me. You've worked hard enough." He jerked his chin towards the steps down into the ship and turned to start walking. "I have a salve for your wrists, by the way. Don't want that pretty skin to scar." He waited for Ryder to catch up, then continued down towards the cabins.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Ryder nearly jumped out of his skin, looking up at Lavi as he spoke, telling him they had worked enough the time being. He nodded and followed after him, looking back to make sure his work stayed as it was supposed too. Once at the stairs, he listened as Lavi told him he had something to help with his wrists. Ryder looked down at his wrists. "It'll be fine" he told Lavi, "You shouldn't worry about them" he looked at Lavi and smiled. "They won't scar. They'll heal just fine" he let his hands fall and looked around again as they walked, intrigued by the place as they went. Once they made it back to the cabin from earlier, Ryder looked around it and sat in the chair Lavi had once sat in. He drew in a breath and let it out slowly, his back protesting him having stood for so long.
Now that he sat he looked up at Lavi. "Why do you keep calling me Little Mouse?" he asked, curious as to why he kept being called that by everyone. He cleared his throat and looked down, his gaze focusing on his wrists as he waited for Lavi to speak. Ryder looked up slightly and smiled at Lavi. "I think I got those knots done pretty well huh?" he asked him, smiling as he thought about it. He was happy for the work he did, glad he had done well and was getting the hang of it. Doing new things always made him happy for awhile.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ "Nonsense. Worrying is half of my job." Lavi stepped into the cabin and removed his jacket, tossing it onto the back of the chair just before Ryder sat down. He reached up to unlace his shirt, leaving it halfway open and rolled his sleeves up. He moved towards the vanity and rifled around in a drawer for a small jar, then walked back to Ryder and knelt in front of him. "This will help with the healing process. I know we heal quickly, but this further accelerates it and it eases the pain." He scooped out a dollop of the jelly-like substance then took Ryder's left hand and began to gently massage the salve onto his wrist.
He worked in silence until the dragon spoke once more, glancing up with amusement in his eyes. "Mahanon seems to think it fits you and I agree. At any rate, it's far better than Little Rat. At least mice are cute." He winked at the smaller alpha, then returned to his work. "You learn quickly. I'm impressed. I daresay that with my instruction, you might be near seaworthy by the time we reach the Cove." He sighed, remembering why they were headed there. Gods but he didn't want to go. Lavi hated Council meetings. They took ages and Declan was always irritable from being cooped up.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Watching the older dragon now, Ryder wanted to protest, not let him use the medicine on him. But he wasn't able to as the dragon was suddenly in front of him, rubbing the medicine into his wrist. "I can do it you know" he whispered, looking away as his cheeks got hot. He looked at Lavi when he mentioned the nickname, agreeing that little mouse was better than little rat. But is was still an embarrassing nickname... He looked away again when winked at, ignoring the heat on his cheeks as it got worse, listening to Lavi as he spoke, praising the younger dragon. "Thank you" he told Lavi before looking at him again. Once Lavi was done, Ryder's gaze went to his wrists. The color was already returning to some of the red areas. Ryder drew in a breath and adjusted how he was sitting, his eyes starting to grow heavy but he ignored it.
"What's one of your favorite things about sailing?" he asked Lavi, "Most dragons don't like it. So it has to be special for you to sail." he looked at Lavi, the redness in his cheeks gone now as he questioned the dragon, wondering why he was so different than any dragon Ryder knew. He rubbed his head and stifled a yawn, pushing it away before looking up at Lavi still.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ He chuckled and shook his head, glancing up once to notice the redness in Ryder's cheeks. How very cute~! He had to admit, there was something very adorable about the virginal alpha he knelt before. He wasn't as playful as Mahanon or as charming as Declan, but there was charismatic energy to his pouts and movements. And it appeared that he had an effect on him too, noted Lavi when he realized that the blush still hadn't disappeared. He knew his appearance was rather enjoyable to some and that his Alpha pheromones had quite an effect on his people, but it had been some time since another Alpha had reacted to him in this way. It had also been some time since he'd even been near another Alpha. He thought on this for a moment, remembering fondly his first few lovers in the School of Mages. They'd all been powerful and studying alongside him. What could he say? He was attracted to power.
He stood as he finished, moving towards the basin to wash his hands. "I learned to love the sea because he does. As time has passed, I've become rather fond of it on my own. The rocking of the waves, the wind, the scent, it all brings me comfort. It may not have been my love at first but, ah well. Quand on a pas ce que l’on aime, il faut aimer ce que l’on a." He shrugged, then moved back towards the chair. "Come on, Little Mouse. Time for bed." He scooped up the younger Alpha and carried him over to the bed, laying him down and sitting on the bed himself to remove his boots.╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Ryder listened as he explained just how he'd come to be in the crew. He looked around, thinking about others who'd been run ot of their own tribes, those who survived and those... who didn't/ His gaze moved to Lavi as he spoke before he found himself scooped up. "Hey-" he let out a huff and settled on the bed once put down. "I could have slept there you know" he explained, "This is your bed. Not mine" he watched the pirate unlace his boots before taking them off his feet. He looked at his own feet and moved to the edge of the bed, undoing his own shoes. It wasn't polite, sleeping in someone else's bed with shoes on and he wasn't about to be known as a rude dragon. He set his shoes down by the edge of the bed and sighed, brushing his hair back before looking at Lavi. He sat, legs crossed as he watched the older dragon. He was tired yes... but now he was starting the sway between tired and slightly energized, another bout of energy working over him.
As he sat silent, Ryder looked forward, his thoughts on what he would do once they got to the Pirate's Cove. Would he have to stay by Lavi's side even then? What did they even do there? Rumors ran amuk in the Thieve's guild about the size of Pirate's cove. some said it was far too small and others said it was huge. He guessed it only depended on who you spoke to as he leaned against the wall. He moved his head, his eyes starting to grow heavy as he looked at Lavi once more. "Have you actually ever gone into full Alpha mode?" he asked him, curious as to whether the older dragon had experienced his own power to it's fullest extent or not.

Lavi Gideon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Accompanied By: ░░░━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Wearing╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃ He set his boots to the side of the bed, reaching behind him to grasp the back of his shirt and lifting it over his head. His muscles rippled as he folded the shirt and placed it on the nightstand. Lavi sighed and rolled his shoulders, stretching just a little in an attempt to make himself comfortable. He was going to rest for a few hours here before making his way to Declan's cabin, so he might as well relax. He raised his hands to his head, pulling his braids up into a bun to keep the long hair out of his way while he slept. He paused at Ryder's question, then cleared his throat and continued tying up his hair. Just when it seemed that he wasn't going to answer, he spoke. "Once. When my mother died." He didn't elaborate, finishing his hair before moving to lay back on the bed.
Lavi crossed his ankles and crossed his arms behind his head. He stared up at the ceiling with a blank expression, blinking slowly. "You're young," he suddenly commented. "But old enough to have experienced your rut. Where are you in your cycle?" He turned his head to look at Ryder without an ounce of shame on his face. "I would be very put out to handle an Alpha that attempts to mount any of the crew while we're sailing. It's better to be forewarned." ╄━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╃

Ryder looked at Lavi and rose a brow as he mentioned the rut, something a great deal of alphas went through. He thought about it for a moment and took in a deep breath before brushing his hair back. "I have not experienced that just yet." he explained, looking down. "I'm a conundrum as my father put it. A late bloomer?" he sighed as he spoke, a bit ashamed about it himself. He looked up slightly and sighed. "I was supposed to start a year ago, but it never started. I just thought there was something wrong with me. What else could it be right?" he asked, looking down again.
Ryder shook his head and rose a brow. "Why are you asking anyway?" he asked him, "Your crew seems to be very personal anyway." he explained before sitting up again. He looked up at Lavi, and smiled. "Unless you're wanting to keep me for yourself" he teased as he spoke the last bit. He moved and stretched out his legs, looking down at them a moment before looking at Lavi. "Why don't you pour your feelings out to him?" he suggested, talking about Declan. "It hurts seeing the way you act with him. Does he not love you in the way you love him?"
