Raguel promptly smacked his forehead. Oh great, this was all he needed. They were finally out to sea and Caspian's son from some other woman had popped up out of no where.........and now Macy was pissed. This didn't make his job any easier. In his head he was thanking every god he could think of that his mother had taught him how NOT to make babies. Then Toby had to go and open his mouth. Yeah, this kid was definately sheltered. "Ah, kid, best not to talk about Macy that way. That horn is sharp after all."
He took a breath and tried to get the situation under control. He was hoping Macy wouldn't just kill Caspian out right. "Why don't I show you where you will be staying while your....daddy.....talks to Macy ok? I'll even make sure your room is near his." He put a strong hand on the younger elf's shoulder and attempted to lead him into the hold.

Toby still refused to let go of his father. Not just yet at any rate. "But, I haven't seen my dad in years. He hardly comes here any more. And if mum finds out what I did to the boat, I'm going to get deboned, descaled, filleted and fried in batter with a protion of chips." Plus he really wanted to see what the horned man was going to do.

In Caspians defence, in the last ninty eight years he haddnt managed to produce any offspring, he did know how to take some care, but in all honesty, most of his children that were around had come fdorm people he had thought to settle down with, and then, for one reason or another, had ended up leaving.. the very angery apothecary that wanted to use him as a test subject.. the scary fishwife who simply smelt of halibut and clouted him around the head every morning.. they were just two of the.. well.. few.. that he had met over the last nigh on four hundered years... At the moment however he was thinking of yelling at the top of his voice and simply flinging himself overboard.. taking his son with him if the young man just wouldnt let go.. but he probably had got a point.. his mother had tried to scale Caspian himself once.. that fish knife was scary as anythign he'd ever seen. He didnt see why this was going to be such a problem... This kid was fully grown after all! It wasnt his fault Toby still had that daft hug agenda... he was sure that was what this was about.. With a sigh he finally turned to Macy and shrugged slightly, "Not much I can really say Mace," He stated, looking down at Toby again and shaking his head.. this kid had a bad cases of the mumsies.. he really needed toughening up... "You can hardly have expected me to live a saints life before I met you." he stated again to the Unigon, "I've been around a long time, things.. happen.." He was really struggling to word this well, "I dont regret the past Macy, but it doesnt need to change the future.." he didnt make an effort to dislodge Toby, he might be with Macy now, but that didnt mean he didnt still gave somthing of an obligation to his other.. families...

"Well your dad is also captain of this ship and he can't do his duties with you hanging all over him. Do you want to make him look bad infront of the others?" Raguel tried his best to convince the boy to release Caspian, if anything to get him away from Macy. His last resort would be simply yanking the kid off Caspian, taking any clothing with him, and tossing him in the hold.

Macy felt like his head was going to explode and he raised a hand to rest against the side of it, looking down at the deck floor as he thought. He wasn't angry about the kid just suddenly being here or the fact Caspian obviously had other kids, no..he wasn't angry about that. he was angry about not knowing these things, that kids would pop up randomly and call Caspian dad. He was angry Caspian hadn't mentioned them.
"fine...all well and good, I don't care if you have other kids, you're a pirate and pirates aren't going to keep themselves to themsleves.." he hissed out, eyes sliding close to help steady himself, now was not the time to give himself a headache over anger, he needed to relax. He took a breath and opened at his eyes, staring at Caspian. "but isn't in generally the proper thing to tell your partner you have kids?? I mean, bloody hell Caspian, do you expect me to just take being left in the dark on the chin and be all sunny about it? why the hell didn't you mention kids before?" he asked, taking another deep breath.
"I just..." he was stumbling now, frustrated more than angry. "...I need to know these things, Caspian" he murmured, he was making a point of ignoring Toby's comment, he wasn't about to blow up at him, he didn't know him.

Caspian shook his head slightly, "In all HOnesty Mace, they're all grown up, their adults.. even this one.. you're.. a hundred and two now..? Or somthing..?" He queried, looking down at Toby for a moment, "They're not children any more Macy, They didnt seem to me, to be somthign you'd have benefitted knowing about. You were, as things went, very unlikely to ever meet them and frankly I thought it would probably make you more uncomfortable than anything else to know about them, especially ast he youngest one I have with exception to Estelle is Ninty eight years old.." Caspian looked harassed just now, "We had enough problems at the beginning, what with Jareth, now Your father.. I didnt think there was any cause for me to make them worse.." He shook his head, "I'm painfully aware how young you are in comparrison to me, so I'm sure this isn't something thats going to be easy for you to get your head around but.. well.. I somehow dont think you'd have taken this as well as you now think you would have, if I'd told you right away.."

Macy decided that he'd never get how Caspian thought, he needed to know these things dammit!! He didn't look at all pleased at Caspian's answer. Even if it was a slim chance of happening, he still should have known and his youngest kid outside of their relationship was 98! Macy felt a bit...wrong, very much so. He shook his head, deciding it best not to comment on that, he felt wrong. Nishi had always been amused at those girls who married a guy old enough to be their great grandfather, Macy felt like one of them.
"so what?? Jareth's gotten over it and dad can go stuff himself, I'll get myself disowned if he won't accept my choices" Macy murmured, this was still something he needed to know!! "so what?? you think being left in the dark makes me feel any better? whatever, i'm going to have a lie down" Macy argued, finally feeling like he'd most likely do something painfully idiotic if he stayed. He needed to let this settle in his system, so he stormed off and locked himself in the captain's cabin, aiming to think about everything.

"He says gotten over it like I actually cared." said Jareth as he popped out from his cabin. "Truthfully I didn't like either of you that much at the time and only felt better in thinking that you deserved one another." he brought his attention to the new arrival who was currently clinging on to the Pirate King. "Oh dear god, not you!"
"Uncle Jareth!" cried Toby happily, releasing his father only to attach himself to the Goblin King. "I didn't know you'd be here. I don't think I've seen you since father dumped me in the Labyrinth when I was eight."
"You nearly burned down the castle!" Jareth growled, still angry at the memory.
"But-but it was an accident." Toby pouted. He was still young enough to pout and get away with it.

"I give up. He's your kid, you deal with him. Uncle Jareth, HA! Don't worry kid, I've done worse is Jareth's ballroom." Raugel walks off to examine the hold like a good Bo'Sun should. As they had been out to sea for a bit, any stow-aways should be getting pretty stir crazy by now. And that was what he was counting on. It made his job easier.

Caspian just sighed at that and tipped his head back to look at the sky.. "Dear god.. How's he going to take it when I get round to telling him about your eight brothers and fourty two sisters.. oh dear.." Caspian shook his head, He really didnt know how to handle this.

The pilot continued to partially squint at the gathering across the deck. Truth be told, he could have jammed the tiller temporarily.. Or at least try to make it temporary.. Last time it hadn't worked out so well when he had found the wheel less than happy to co-operate with him.. No that hadn't been fun at all.. But it was still tempting. It was such a large group of people! What on earth were they all doing! There where admittedly, some people he recognised but there was certainly one that he didn't.. At least he thought he didn't, but he seemed to know the people on board and.. Came from the port..? It was a shame.. Last time the ship had come to port, the pilot had in-fact managed to completely miss the whole affair, though he had been told many a time that it wasn't because they had left him behind or even that he had been sick. He had in-fact been too drunk to even walk the last time they had passed through the Port of St. Jaque. He whined softly and plopped his head down to rest his chin on the top of one of the tillers handles. He was sure he'd find out all about them soon enough.. Until then.. He could amuse himself watching one of the last remaining stow-aways that Raguel hadn't caught.. He smirked just a little, eyes fixed on the crows nest.
The wonderfully crows nest, was infact fact becoming something more of a griffin's nest, and the griffin in question, had been wondering what sort of attraction birds seemed to have for this floating island.. There was that pink flamingo girl and a couple of poultry down in the hold for cook to take advantage of.. But still.. This thing sure knew how to rock from side to side, and at this height.. Well! Things could get interesting.

Aramis looked around the deck. It was much too full of people for his liking and he thought he could probably get a better view from somewhere else on the ship. He glanced up at the mast, he loved tall places, the higher the better, but he had been too busy to climb it since they had set sail and now seemed like the perfect time. He stretched his arms out in front of him and grabbed the ropes to start up. He hoped he could get up there before anyone noticed him, maybe he’d even be able to hide from Darius in the crow’s nest for a while so he would not be talked into helping him with his chores.

Nirok was still in the hold. He hadn't really counted on the journey being this dull. As far as he could tell being a pirate should be about boarding other ships, swashbuckling, buried treasure and adventure. So far all that had happened was they'd floated about on the water.
He supposed that they may have some destination in mind, but from down here it was difficult to say whether they were getting closer to it or merely going round in circles. He giggled slightly to himself at the thought of the great pirate king sailing round and round in circles. Perhaps they would just stay at sea forever, perhaps they had already been at sea forever and when they finally reached land everyone would be dead and an entirely new civilisation would have arisen from dung Beatles. Nirok shook his head. That was the other thing, the longer he stayed down here the stranger his thoughts seemed to get, strange though they had been at first. Perhaps the hold had some sort of magical madness spell on it, maybe that was why it was called the madness of hades... There it went again.
From above he could here the muffled voices of the crew. There seemed to have been a number of arguments going on recently, at least that was what he assumed from the fact that occasionally the voices were raised enough that he could hear them. He was beginning to think that perhaps he might be in quite a lot of trouble when he was discovered.

Darius climbed on deck curious what all of the noise was about and smiled cheerfully when he saw the man go from hugging Caspien to hugging Jareth. Whoever he is, he seems rather glad to be here he thought to himself. In his hands he carried the plate of vittles that the cook had sent up at Raguel’s orders. He approached the new passenger and was going to offer him the vittles but decided that interrupting him when he was so happy to see the goblin king wasn’t the best idea. So instead he stepped back and waited for the man to calm down a little bit.
