Locke watched the mother and son reuninon, quite contented at the fact that Macy hadn't seemed to fully register his presence - until Macy spoke his dreaded nickname. Locke let out a groan of obvious horror and distaste. His cousin was so uncivilized! Well, he liked to think so, in any case. His name was not bun head! Macy was the type who'd teased him to the point of tears as a child!
Locke gazed miserably at his cousin as he walked forward a bit. "Hello." He mumbled, pulling a face. He couldn't remember many good times with Macy, though he could remember the bad ones. Like the time Macy had shoved and ice-cream cone onto his horn... Macy had told him the ice-cream fairy would come and make his ice-cream all better! Locke groaned. He couldn't believe he'd fallen for that!

Shiayla sent her son a scolding look at the teasing nickname. When she had last seen them together, they had gotten along fine!! When did this teasing start.
"Macy Tresquax, apologise" she scolded, staring at Macy. She let him go and smiled at Locke. "he's only being playful?" she said, at least she hoped he was.
Macy sent a pouting look at his mother, embarrassed about having her mollycoddling him AND scolding him. He looked sulkily at Locke and stepped forward and hugged him, just like he used to do when Locke burst into tears when he teased him all those years ago. He petted Locke on the back and grinned, pulling back, his hands resting on his shoulders.
"don't burst into tears this time, kay??" he asked quietly, poking one of his buns teasingly. "you haven't changed a bit" he murmured. He hadn't seen look for about six or seven years now, and was caught of guard by this sudden visit. He paused, suddenly thinking of something.
"hey, mum??"
"yes dear??" his mum asked, watching them quietly.
"does dad know you're here??"
"oh, god gracious no!! He's gone off on a rant about having to fly 5 miles naked because of one thing or another, I thought it a good idea to leave him be for a while"
"...fine, but don't stay too long, you're an even stronger reason for him to try and hunt Caspian" he warned, looking as his mother pointedly.
"well Jareth was here, I wanted to see him and talk, but he seems occupied..pity, I won't be able to invite him over to tea anymore" Shiayla explained, looking disappointed.

Caspian had been planning to reply to Macy, but then Macy's mother had arrived with someone very.... very... well... it looked like... no... they were just really really pink... and.. Caspian had to stop staring. It was rude.
With a smile he offered the baby he'd been holding back to Macy,
"Here, she seems to want you now.." And with a grin he stepped past them,
"Come on Jareth! I want to show you the Hades!" It was like a child showing off his favourite toy, Caspian had never had the chance to share his treasureed home with his closest childhood friend before.
"Oh, And Macy.. and.. Mrs Murdoth.." He grinned at Shiayla..
"We'll be pulling out of port in about a half hour, so you might want to be off the deck by then.. either get below or find your way back to shore.." he nodded, grinned again and after a final beckon to Jareth he scarpered, planning to sohw him th ship from the bilges up.
~*~
Zaelia paused for a moment, trying to hold in the little stream of giggles her dear Bayne's reaction. He was a really silly man, he really really was but she liked that about him. She really did.
"Bayne," She said quietly, curling her arms up and around his neck as she gave him a slightly tighter little cuddle,
"I wasnt suggesting we should do anythign.. really I wasn't... just that maybe you should ceom and stay with me so that I can cuddle up with you..? Or.. you know.. so that we can spend some more time together at least.." She smile and kissed the back of his long ear..
"I'd like to spend some time with you you see..." she snuggled closer to him again, a happy smile on her lips as she did so.
~*~
Kastor sight quietly..
"Yeah.. Toes.." He replied first.. he was feeling shamed... really shamed, but there was little he could say about it.
"I.. I wasnt saying you strayed.. Zubi.." he stated quietly, his green eyes fixing themselves firmly on the floor.. This was complicated now. Really complicated.
"At the ball though.. You and.. I heared, well... I asked...and I say.. you and the Bo'Sun.." he shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts again.
"Oh God Zubi.. I.." he looked up for a moment, his eyes on Zubi now.. he was so beautiful, his smooth face, his soft hair and his... just him...
He let his eyes flick down again, he was wrong... wasn't he.. Zae had.. no.. it was his fault. Zae'd told him what she'd seen, he'd jumped to conclusions..
"I was told he was.. kissing you... I guess I jumped to conclusions.." this couldnt have felt more awkward.

Jareth soon found himself pulled out of his daydream about a certain silvery river fairy and dragged off by his wayward relative.
Stranely enough, given the multitude of Caspians visits, he had never seen the Hades properly. Up close the ship didn't look like such a floating heap, in fact it was quite nice, and the Goblin King was eager to see the rest of it.

The gunner shifted slightly nervously as Zaelia half climbed him once again, his arms tightening then relaxing.. Then tightening all over again.
"But you! I mean.. Sometimes you...." He made a small noise, "Idon'tknowwhenyou'rebeingserious.." The words eventually tumbled on out as his nuzzled her shoulder again, a little embarrassed with himself this time for assuming the worst of her, though with her track record he couldn't be blamed surely?
He paused when she kissed the back of his ear and gave her a gentle nose once again, holding her a little closer at the embarrassment passed slowly, "I.. You know.. I think it would.. Be pretty nice.. Too.." He told her hesitantly and quietly. He did like her after all, she just made him so damn unsure of himself sometimes!
The pilot whimpered quietly, detesting the noise as soon as it left his throat, but the ache was just becoming to much to bare anymore. He continued to hold his hands over his face as he shook his head then shook it some more as what Kastor was telling him, continuing to stay quiet for the moment as he took a slightly shakey breath.
"I.. I have n-no idea what you're talking about.." He started quietly and slowly to keep the god awful tremor to his voice at bay, "But I wish you'd stop it. I just.. I just want.." he gritted his teeth, stopping there. There were so many things he wanted. TO be held in those familiar arms again, to be told it was all okay, the list could go on.

Zaelia smiled again.
"I'll try to be nicer to you from now on.." she said quietly, there was no masking on her voice this time either.. it was just her natural, strangely soft voice.
"I'm glad you think its a good idea though.." she smiled, pushing herself away from him a little bit more,
"Bcause you're going to have to stop getting so nervous around me eventually.." she chuckled again..
"Maybe.. you should try.. you know.. kissing me or somthing..?" She wondered for a moment if that comment was actually going to make Bayne explode, and not in a good way either...
~*~
Kastor hated this so much, the pain that seemed to be trying to suffocate his heart was almost more than he could handle, and he'd been through some very difficult situations..
The trembled that was shaking the beautiful pilots voice made him finally draw the line..
"Zubi..." he murmured quietly, stepping forward at least, reaching his hand out to touch the pilots shoulder.
"Zubi.. please.." He curled his fingers around the slender shoulder, and moved his other arm around Zubi comepletely so that he could pull him up against him.
"This isn't how I wanted it to go.." he said, gritting his teeth as he tightened his arms around Zubi so that he couldnt move away from him even if he wanted to.
"God Zubi. I missed you so much.. I thought about nothing else the whole time I've been away.. I love you so much..."

Bayne gave Zaelia a sidelong sort of glance.. Was she being serious..? He gave her a slow grin, even as she moved away, talking a hold of her hands like she had done earlier to him, to prevent her from going too far.
"You know.. It's almost stranger when you don't sound like you're playing!" He chuckled, still slightly nervous, but then he was always going to be, "And I uh.. I will try! For you! Uhm.. I-uh.."
The eyes widened a little as her suggestion however, the semblance of calmness crumbling around the edges. He cleared his throat, and the hair from his eyes as an afterthought. "Ahem.. Uh.." He scrambled up to his feet, "Whydon'tyoushowmeyourroom?"
The pilot didn't try to get away, he hadn't really noticed that the other elf had moved closer to him, only when a hauntingly familiar hand clasped his shoulder did he realise, and it made him startle a little.
"Kas.." He whimpered, his voice quiet as his body seemed to act of it's own accord, pressing closer to the other half of him. His hands fell away from his face, replaced instead by the broader chest and shoulder of his beloved, where he set about dampening him as much as he could. If anything the tears he had so far hidden had become worse, relief perhaps? It was fast becoming a bit of an emotional roller coaster, made him want to scream even if it was just a little!
He talked haltingly against the shoulder, words that he just.. Thought he should say, words that felt right, muffled, distorted words of love as his hands slid down Kastors chest to curl his fingers at his beloveds sides.. Then smack the small of his back as hand as he could with such little leverage followed by a string of what could only be furious mumbles.

Zaelia couldnt help but laught at him again as she kelp hold of his hand, using Baynes scarabling momentum to pull herself to her feet as well.
He was so cute.. sososososocute!
"Okay Bayne!" She trilled at him, curling her arms around one of his as she bounced up to him,
"Its this way!" And with that little smile back on her lips she tragged him off to show him to her room.
~*~
Kastor kept his arms tightly around Zubi, this was it.. this was what had been wrong all the years he'd been away for.. He'd known that.. he had.. but in the shock of 'losing' Zubi he'd let that slip.. he'd thought that something in between them.. He was wrong.. there could never be anythign in between them, nothing real.. the only thing that could tear them apart was them themselves.
He smiled slightly as his usually deceptively stronge lover beat him..
"Would it help if i said ow..?" He murmured quietly, his lips close to one of the long elven ears.
"Because I can if you want love...?" Just having him there in his arms made everything feel so much better.
"I'm sorry I was gone so long.. I'm sure you're telling me off for everything taking so long.. for not coming home sooner.. and for not writing of course.. but in all honesty love.. I cant understand a word you're saying...!

Bayne hesitated.. He wasn't sure if he had intended for her to show this to him, but then if he hadn't really wanted to he wouldn't have said it! At least he hoped he wouldn't have, besides, she didn't have a reason to say no, especially if she liked him as much as he at least thought she did. And he did really like her too.. She just scared him a bit! Well, okay, a lot.
"Nnn.." His fingers curled into something like a loose fist as she led him away from that nice comforting patch of darkness. He gulped and made a agreeable if nervous noise as she took him to areas of the ship he was much less familiar with. He couldn't recall there ever being a time he'd had to go near Caspians rooms..
Macy..
He paled at the thought of encountering the monstrously tempered unigon.
The slim elf gave a shuddering sigh then with another smack he yet again tried to take a deep breath through a solid body. He mumbled again, wiping his eyes against a slightly dryer patch of Kastors shoulder, dipping his head so he could at last take a much needed gasp of air.
"I love you! I love you and if you ever ever think anything like I'd go to someone else I swear I'll.. I'll.." He gave him another half hearted, this time smack on the side, "I'll damn well emasculate you.." He pressed his face against the elfs other shoulder this time, rubbing the bridge of his nose against Kastors collarbone.
"Why did you stop writing to me, Kas..?" He asked softly after a swift break to allow the oxygen to get around his system, "And no.. It wouldn't.." He sulked a little and gave his beloved an affectionate bite, though the love of this action was debatable.

Locke pulled a face of victory as his aunt scolded his cousin and nodded to her as she spoke. Locke found himself actually smiling slightly as Macy came forth and hugged him. Macy usually saved the hugging for when he'd stepped over the line with his teasing, but now it merely seemed to be a pleasant thing. "Haven't changed a bit?" He questioned as Macy commanded him not to burst into tears. "You just don't remember."
Locke stood back slightly as Macy spoke with his mother about his father. That was something he'd leave them to handle themselves. It wasn't quite his problem so he merely looked about the ship, taking all of it in like a sponge before subconciously inching nearer to his relatives. There were so many... pirates he didn't know here. So many unfamiliar faces that he had to admit it made him a little nervous.

"thanks Caspian" Macy murmured, stepping back from the hug to hold his daughter. The baby had once again fallen asleep and he was relieved, at least he may be able to get a few more hours sleep in tonight. He looked at Locke and smiled.
"so, I'll have to start writing to you then" he said, more of a statement than a question. Locke was one of the few people he had instantly clicked with and it made it even better that they were cousins. HIs family had backed out of his life for years, and now suddenly, they were coming back in. "you'd better go soon, tell Dad I said...." he paused, thinking. "bye,loveyou?" he murmured quickly.
Shiayla smiled at Macy and kissed him atop the head.
"well, I'd better go..I doubt i'd fare well at sea, when your papa calms down i'll see if he wants to have a civil conversation over my mirror with you, okay??" she asked, turning to Locke with a smile, petting him atop the head. "say bye Locke, Macy's going to go sail the seas, who knows when we'll next see him??" she said pleasantly, turning back to kiss Macy on the cheek, her son who she barely spent time with.
"i'll miss you, little love" she murmured softly, planting a soft kiss on Estelle's chubby cheek. "and this one too!!"

~*~
Caspian stretched slightly, to him it was an absoloute delight to have made it back to sea again, and with no sighn of Macy's psychotic father either, yes indeed, the days were bright at the moment!
To top it all off he had his closest friend, his sort of cousin there with him as well, though he wasn't entirely sure how well the sea was agreeing with Jareth, it was still nice of the odd Monarch to come and join him.
The departure had gone smoothly, and they had been sailing for nearly a week now, following the co-ordinates that Jonik, as the navigator was presumed drunk, was currently giving them. He'd have to talk to that Navigator at at some point.. but not right now.
As he strode ot of his cabin into the very early morning sunlight, the bright smear across the water told him the sun had not long begun to rise, he felt a swell of pride for the efficiency of his crew and the flawless way that had gotten his beloved ship back out to sea. Yes.. the sea.. this was his real home... now anyway..
There was somthing weird though.. a nagging feeling he had that somthing was amis.. it had been nagging at him since they left port.. and it was worse at night.. it felt familiar, yet for some reason he just couldnt place it..

Zaelia had slept well the night before, despite the small squal that had set in a few hours before dawn, it was nothing serious, just a bit bouncy, and if you were used to the sea that wouldnt cause you any problems.
She had risen early, as she was want to do, and had made her way up to the deck before even Caspian had awoken.
She had spoekn with him the day befor e about their destination, and she was pleased with the answer.
St Jaque.
A lawless Port.
The Favoured home for Smugglers and all manner of other tasteless people. That was indeed their destination, and she couldnt wait to get back there again!
It was abit like that himan place... what had that odd white haired boy called it..oh yes! Las Vegas, but without the neon lights... yes.. The Las Vegas of their world.. the port of St Jaque.

Macy had been awake for a very little while and was just enjoying a little early morning peace, Estelle was asleep and Caspian had already risen, thus he had wandered up onto the deck and leaned against the side, watching the waves. He was fine now, life was working out and he was in high spirits, Estelle being near her daddy had calmed her down tremendously. He let a content sigh pass his lips, life was fine, he wondered how Nishi was, had his old guardian managed to contact Elle? he hadn't heard from him in weeks.
"ah well, his loss" he muttered to himself, going back to relaxing and watching the waves as they sailed. He was surprised he hadn't gone overboard yet--not that it would have been funny if he had--he was starting to think of Hades as a little safe haven, even if he did feel horribly out of place and in the way at times. Whatever, it wasn't like he was in any immediate danger anymore, not with his dad and Hades' reputation, he doubted the dragon kingdom would try and kill him again, or even some shady character would even attempt to sell him off. A swift kick to the privates always came in handy at those times.
'okay, I think too much, I need food' Macy thought, deciding he wasn't going to think anymore and simply take in the quiet..and then find food. It always worked out best that way, either that or he'd forget to eat again, he did that alot too. 'I should just go wander off on my own sometimes, being around pirates makes me think weird..' Macy thought, deciding he wasn't going to pay the slightest bit of attention to his surroundings while he thought. '..I think i've forgotten some paths through the labyrinth too, darn...'

Raguel was always up early checking on the late night watch. His vision sucked at night, one thing he didn't gain from his mother. And the loss of an eye didn't help. He looked out over the ocean, a great calm over his heart now. Land didn't suit him any more and he could only take being around his mother for a short time. Now he was with his other family, his pirate family. From the young Joink to the elder Kastor, everyone here was like the family he never had. Caspian was a strange kind of father figure to him. The original Bo'Sun had been a true father for him, or at least what he thought a father should be. He missed the elder man, even if his leaving had meant his own promotion.
Leaving the past for later thoughts he continued on with his duties. That's when he saw his captain and Macy already out. He walked over to the Unigon and smirked. "Glad to be back out on the ocean?"
