It was not unusual for a child or two to attempt to smuggle themselves aboard the Van Eltia. Even operating under a false name, the youngsters knew who Aifread’s pirates were. The ship was habitually swept stem to stern and stowaways were caught and returned to their parents before the Van Eltia left port.

This particular time, the stowaway had nimbly evaded a good third of the swabbies, scaled the rigging up to one of the gaffs, and refused to budge. Eventually, the First Mate had been called.

“The Van Eltia is not a passenger ship,” he informed the boy. “Tell me what it is that you want here.”

The half-pint pirate flashed him a grin. It was a 1/20 chance for her to actually summon him, and she had to be in her critical form for it to happen. So it was rare.

“Aye~ Sumon Friends call forth the souls of the living and dead to fight by my side, nano ja~ Seifer is the strongest soul I can call upon, but it’s completely random.”

   And isn’t that just always the way with Harry Whitehorse- surprisingly spry and sneaky, given that he had almost a foot and a half on Karol on good days. The boy stiffened just a bit, momentarily startled before he peeked upward toward the other. “What’s up? Thought y’had a gig this morning.”

“ I did. ”

Harry lamented, a bitterness spiking his tone as eyes closed. “ It was a group’a Knights along with that new Commandant. Had t’leave. Friggin pleasantries out the wazoo and it’s ... ugh. ” Not the kinds of things Harry was prepared for. The blond was perfectly fine with negotiations. Probably not the most skilled at it, but he could at least keep up, make it clear what he wanted, the price he’d settle for, and at least some of the benefits for both sides. However, dealing with the Empire was a whole different ball game.

“ They’re gonna kill me. I swear t’ the goddess I’m gonna die from the roundabout way they’re tryin’ to do things. ”

“Come on, nano ja! It’ll be fun!” she yelled enthusiastically. She gave him her signature mischievous grin. “I wanna catch him and fry him up~ I bet he’d be good with oden!”

“You sure about that, Boss?” He squinted at the monster manual as the other wrote, with a concerned look over to Karol every once in a while. 

“I really think you should get to bed. Your handwriting’s starting to get messy.” Sure, it’s still fine for now. But the more tired Karol got, the faster the words would get to being unreadable.

‘just… threaten him? Or something? Find out what he knows!’ [ Karol to Ally in modern verse lbr ]

“Threaten him?” Ally raised an eyebrow as they sat in a room while there was another guy tied up in the other room that Ally and Karol found snooping in Alvin’s room, “You _do_ realize what you’re asking me to do right?” 

To be fair the guy trashed the place, and not to mention he caused her to break a nail when she was restraining him, but did that constitute enough for a beat down? Absolutely. But she really was trying to be civil here with Karol present. He really didn’t need to see her in action. 

But he was the one who asked....

“You know if Alvin asks, I’m telling him you suggested it, right?”

". . . I didn't know you had kids, Yuri?" Why else would people be calling him 'daddy'........[ stopkaroltime ]

“I most definitely don’t have any kids.” Unless you count all the younger siblings he’s slowly collecting.

“  I’ll be on your side , too .  ”

“  Promise .  ”
