Call me Bones

Charlie Cox, hufflepuff, muggleborn. — that’s MILO KISTKY, who is in the BEGINNER CLASS. He is TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD and supposedly they are very FRIENDLY & CHARISMATIC, though they can also be very DISHONEST & PROMISCUOUS ( Parva, 24, EST, she/her )

He was moving quickly, before she even realized he was, and missed if he’d actually followed what she’d read.  A pang of annoyance, not knowing if it was done correctly, and she decided she would simply wash her hands of it.

“No, that’s alright.  You seem to know what you’re doing now, feel free to just keep going.  I can watch.”    She figured, if he messed it up, it would be a learning experience, and she could at least point a finger in his direction.  Far better to take the blame of not having participated, than to let it seem she didn’t know what she was doing.

She looked back to the directions, leaving him to continue, glancing over to the table next to them to gauge where they might be in the task in comparison.

Milo sighed, working until the point in which she had stopped reading the directions. His work was done well, this wasn’t the first time he’d made a potion or followed complicated instructions that had only been read once.

“Do you mind reading the rest?” He said, hoping she wouldn’t ask why. It was annoying to have to work with someone who clearly thought he was an idiot. He didn’t want to admit this major weakness to her either.

He glanced over at her, frowning as she watched the other table, “Are they doing something different?”

“Milo.” She leaned into his touch, sighing happily. She always craved touch, even of the most innocent kind. “You are talking now. That is enough for me.” With Gussy keeping secrets so well, it was nice to know she hadn’t lost her touch. She could still coax things out of anyone, even without really trying. 

When he pulled his hand away, she caught it and brought it to her lips. “You are a very beautiful man, Milo. Not just in your looks, but your heart. I can tell.” She smiled at him so warmly. “You helped Gussy. You have nothing to be sorry for. So thank you.” She let his hand go, not wanting to overwhelm him too much, too fast. 

She laughed a little. “You have gotten to know me well, I like to talk. Now that you say you’ll never tire, I will put that to the test.” She reached forward, patting his cheek lightly. “The past is done. You can talk about it if you wish, but no one here will care where you come from or what you have or have not done. It is only what you do on the ship that matters.” 

Milo had known his share of women before his parents locked him away, but he had never felt this way about anyone else. He was quite sure he was in love with her, though it was a love that required nothing from her. "I used to talk a lot." He smiled, "My sisters used to say I was so chatty they couldn't sleep." He had always had big dreams and he'd never been able to contain them.

Her kiss made him blush but he didn't hide it. There was no need to be a "man" around Hei, he had learned that she wouldn't hold to the arbitrary ideas of the world outside this ship. "You helped me so much more, Captain." He smiled, relaxing more and more as they spoke. He felt like they were already good friends, "I guess I should tell you something about me. The short version is that my parents sold me when I was no longer useful. I'm afraid these powers...the ones I used to help Gussy are not very reliable."

He grinned as she laughed, "I'm not ashamed of anything. I just...I needed time to think about it." He felt like the floodgates were finally opening. "I left a lot behind, but, I have a feeling that's what this ship is for."

Unfortunately, they had almost reached the end of their walk, and Mateo had no excuses ready to drag this out any longer. “Maybe I could entertain you another time?” Mateo asked hopefully, wanting to try get over Sam. “Unless you don’t think you can handle it.” 

Milo noticed his crew in the great hall and nodded at Mateo. “It would be my pleasure, I’m a Hufflepuff in the Beginner class, so feel free to visit me during meals or something.” He winked and waved as he left, never failing to be flirty.

Milo loved Gussy. He loved her enough to weather her Brother’s wrath, but if he was going to do that he needed to know why. She could be the prickliest of his crew mates, despite the fact that he often saw her as his savior. “Hey there, Songbird.” He said, a play on Hei’s nickname. He came to stand beside her. “So...I met your brother.”

Taking him seriously, as she liked to believe the best in people, Bri nodded. “Thank you. I would hate to knock you over the head because you couldn’t listen.” She hated it when people flirted with her, it made her feel flustered which was a feeling she never got, so she always shut it down. She flashed a playful grin. “Well, I think I’m going to find out who I can scare next. It’s been lovely talking to you, Milo.”

Roland nearly gagged in disgust. “I am her brother!” Granted, they looked nothing alike, as they were technically cousins, but for all intents and purposes, he was her older brother, and he would take that responsibility seriously. He’d always tried to be the dutiful son and brother. When that hadn’t worked, he’d become the dutiful sailor. In the hopes of being one of the first again, he’d given up on all his ambitions to come to Hogwarts. 

He took a step closer, hoping to provoke the captain into a fight. “I will not let my sister be used by anyone. She deserves a better life than this. Either you cut off contact with her, or I’ll cut you down.” 

“Oh!” Milo laughed, “Well, sorry about that.” He put his hands on his hips, relaxing visibly. When Roland didn’t do the same he frowned, “Wait, do you honestly think I’m controlling her?” Milo couldn’t hold in the laugh. He then remembered that he was supposed to be the Captain. Damn it. He hated being the Captain. 

“I am not going to cut off contact with Gussy, she’s my friend...one of my closest.” Milo crossed his arms, “If it weren’t for her I’d be...I’m not sure where. I’d be in chains, that’s for sure. I’m not going to repay that by abandoning her. And I’m surprised you say you’re her brother, but you’re threatening us. We’re as much her family as you are. Perhaps the fact that you won’t let her live as she wants to is why she ran away from all of you.”

@milokistky​

Since Gussy would not listen to reason - maybe a small part of Roland knew that yelling at her was not the best way to get her to listen to him, but that was not the point - Roland had decided the first step was to make sure no one was buying Gussy. He’d interfered where he could, getting into fights with some of the men who dared to flirt with her in front of him, but the person he really wanted to speak to was constantly out of his reach. 

But not today. Today, Roland was finally getting to speak to the captain of the crew Gussy worked for. Marching towards the man, his hand rested on his weapon. “I hope this message has already gotten to you, but if not, Gussy Kesser is now free of you. She does not work for you any longer.” 

[milokistky]

Milo had remained blissfully oblivious to Gussy and Roland’s drama. Even at the feast he had spent most of the time eating cookies even while Hei tried to explain the truth to Roland about Gussy’s happiness. So when the attractive young man approached him he had a completely different idea. 

Until...that is...he started talking. “Work for me?” He tilted his head, assuming this was a customer who had become smitten. “Sir, she is owned by no one, not me and least of all you. Whatever time you spent with her was probably pleasurable, but she is free to do as she wishes.” He crossed his arm, not doing the whole puffed-out chest thing very well, but willing to protect his friend. “Is that all?”

[milokistky]

A ring with a black stone is left on his bed.

I nicked this off some dude in the village. The stone is pretty badass.

Gussy.

[milokistky]

(writtten on the back, and on the front, in the corner of the picture, it’s signed with Mateo’s name) I have no idea if this is what your ship looks like, but I hope you like it anyway. I have enjoyed your company very much. Merry Christmas.

“Actually Moira and I are in the same house.” He nodded politely to her. They were sort of friends, she was too innocent to try and seduce but she was helping him through care of magical creatures. 

“That’s right!” Moira grinned, “Milo can you heal me? I can’t go to the hospital wing again.” She looked at him pleadingly, clearly feeling very deeply on the matter. 

Lucinda stood up. This was all too much for her to care about. “I leave her in your capable hands.” She said dryly and walked away. 

Lavinia snorted and rolled her eyes as the blond walked away. What a silly little girl. But the redhead was silly as well, in a different way, but still the word fit. Still, Lavinia supposed she should introduce herself. “Lovely to meet you, Moira. I’m Lavinia. I’m sure Milo would be more than able to help you out.” She always expressed her faith in the man. “I, however, am running late to a class. And I’m afraid I must be going.” She began to rise while giving Milo a look that promised they would be finishing their interruption later.

Seeing as he was enjoying this conversation, George sat down on the grass next to the crate, breathing a sigh of relief that his weight wasn’t on his leg anymore. “Those are good feelings, and they don’t always have to equal boredom. You just need to find things to do when you are at peace.” smiling up at Milo, he asks, “and what do you hate?”

Milo noticed him get comfortable with a smile. This man may not be flirting with him, but he didn’t seem to mind being flirted with. “I’ve got nothing against boredom, it’s got quite a bit on fear.” Real fear, not just a buzz of anxiety like what he always had in the back of his mind. “I’m not really the hating kind of guy.” He chuckled. Definitely more of a lover.

Mateo’s vanity came from the fact he worked hard to look good. There had been a time he was too pale, too skinny, and he never wanted to look like that again. He didn’t want to be weak unless he could use that weakness to garner sympathy. “I’d definitely like to spend more time with you. But then, I’ve always been a fool over a pretty face and a quick tongue.” That was what had attracted him to Sam, the sharp wit behind his words. Milo wasn’t like Sam at all, but Mateo thought that was a very good thing.

Milo had never tried to be attractive. He knew he was, if only because of the fans. Still, in his heart he was that skinny Ukranian boy Hei had found in a cage. “Well if those things turn you into a fool imagine what they do to me.” Milo put a hand over his chest as though he’d been wounded. “You certainly are entertaining.”

[milokistky]

Lavinia simply smirked at Lucinda’s words. Oh she really thought she was something, didn’t she? So she decided to taunt her a little. “I don’t think I’d be able to know what you’re talking about without being more specific.” She barely even spared the redhead another glance, thinking her to be rather pitiful at this point. “So do you know these girls or not, Milo?” she questioned once more. She was rather irritated how Lucinda had seen fit to steamroll the man.

“Actually Moira and I are in the same house.” He nodded politely to her. They were sort of friends, she was too innocent to try and seduce but she was helping him through care of magical creatures. 

“That’s right!” Moira grinned, “Milo can you heal me? I can’t go to the hospital wing again.” She looked at him pleadingly, clearly feeling very deeply on the matter. 

Lucinda stood up. This was all too much for her to care about. “I leave her in your capable hands.” She said dryly and walked away. 

[milokistky]

laviniaxgreengrass‌:

Immediately, Lavinia frowned in displeasure as the two girls sat, entirely miffed that they’d seen fit to interrupt her an Milo’s game. Who had invited them to sit at their table anyway? She certainly didn’t know either of them. And what kind of idiotic girl walked into a tree? “Milo are these your…friends?” she said mostly neutrally, though there was a bit of edge to it. “You know a good place to get healed?” she said pointedly. “The hospital wing.”

“Ummmm....” Milo didn’t really have a chance to speak. Lucinda practically growled at the other woman. 

“This is a public bench, you are the two who are using it for....inappropriate purposes!” She accused. Clearly they had committed a cardinal sin in her view. Technically, they were about to. 

“Don’t make me go to the hospital wing.” Moira pouted, “Holden will be so mad!” 

[milokistky]

Not bored now that you’re here handsome

“A family? That must be nice.” traveling the world with the people closest to you, adventures, far-off places, a younger him would have jumped at the chance. “And now you are here with us, at Hogwarts. Tell me, aren’t you bored?”

A family of sorts. Milo was pretty sure his definition of family would make most “honorable” men shudder. “Bored? I guess...” He shrugged, “Bored means safe and relaxed. So yeah, I guess I’m a little bored, but I don’t hate it.” Despite being a pirate in a poly amorous relationship with most of his crew, Milo preferred the calm and safety of Hogwarts.

“Would that confrontation go in my favor or not?” by the man’s tone, he had a feeling it wouldn’t. “Conspicuous? I’m beginning to get the feeling I have run into some of them. And you are their captain?” 

“It really depends on what you were saying about them.” Milo smiled, running his fingers through his hair, “Yes...sort of. No one can really keep them under control. But...we are a family.” He just didn’t happen to be the head of that family. 

[milokistky]

“I think so.” feeling bashful, he rubbed the back of his neck, but his smirk remained firmly in place. “Well, I’ll see. I can’t exactly grab a list and go around looking for them, it might freak them out. But I’ll keep an eye out for them.”

“I’m pretty sure if any of them heard someone was looking for them they’d confront that person immediately.” He said, no longer just teasing George. He was pretty sure if Hei heard someone was looking for her she’d drop everythign to find them. “But don’t worry, they’re quite....conspicuous.” That was why he loved them all, of course.
