So, in all fairness when it comes to group RP, Iām normally not a big fan of it, just because of how cluttered it can get when it comes to emotes, and having people emote on top of one another, though I have done my fair share of it in the past. When it comes to having someone I donāt like in the group? I focus solely on the story thats being told at the time, and try to make the best of it.Ā

(( Cut simply for length. Mentions: @the-heartseeker for IlyaeriĀ ))
The Captain was happy to be leaving the warzone. Having finished his jobs in Kul Tiras, he was finally making his way back to the Sirenās Lament. Although his crew was split between the two new continents, and with the Captain having seen first hand the war that was brewing, as well as the developments occurring out in Nazjatar, he had no desire to be away from home any longer. He missed his ship, and he missed Ilyaeri. Given the nature of his assignments, he wasnāt able to give his dear treasure much information prior to his leave, nor had he been able to reach out while he was away, but now that he was returning home, he planned on surprising her with a visit.
As the ship he rode pulled into port, Xyveth simply shook his head as he looked out the window of the cabin he had been staying in. As much as he enjoyed being on the water, Xy wouldāve been much happier being the one doing the sailing. āHopefully Shin and Avery made some headway in their assignments...no way am I sailinā on a boat that aināt me own again.ā The Captain thought as he secured his belongings and made his way off the boat, and through the city of Stormwind.
As the Captain walked through the Alliance city, his gaze moved along his surroundings. Kalādorei that had been displaced by the assault and burning of Teldrassil still sat along the city streets, families of soldiers out in Kul Tiras watching to see if their loved ones were walking off the ships, or being unloaded in caskets. The Captainās blood practically boiled at the sight. No one deserved to lose their home, even if a war had broken out, although, as far as the Captain was concerned, this damned war shouldāve never even started. As he continued walking, a small Kalādorei child walked up to the disguised Sinādorei, his gaze rising to meet Xyvethās.Ā
āWell now, how can I help ye lad?ā The Captain asked, lowering himself down to the youngsterās height, happier than ever to be disguised as a Renādorei, especially given his location.
āH-Helloā¦.could you help me find my father? I told him I was coming down to the fountain, but when I went back to where I left him he was gone.ā The young elf spoke, clearly a bit frightened and confused. āAye, I think I can do just that lad.ā The Captain replied, a slight smile coming to his face as he hoisted the young Kalādorei up on his shoulders, and the two headed to the gates of the city.
āT-There he is!ā The child spoke happily, pointing to an older Kalādorei close to one of the inns by the city gates. The Captain quickly reached up and pulled the youngster off of his shoulders.Ā
āCome on, he must be worried sick, and Iām sure heād want to thank you.ā The child spoke, attempting to drag Xyveth told his father.
āHold on a second lad, perhaps it be best if ye go on tāyer father alone.ā Xyveth spoke quickly, taking fast notice of the Illidari that happened to be talking to the childās father. āBut tell ye what, take this to yer father, perhaps itāll make life a bit easier on ye both fer a while.ā The Captain spoke, only to open one of the pouches on his belt and pull out a small sack filled with gold.
āT-Thank youā¦.uhm...I donāt even know your name.ā The child spoke, casting his gaze up to the pirate once more. āTāname is Xyveth lad, now go on, go be witā yer father.ā Xyveth spoke softly, gently pushing the child forward, only to vanish into the shadows, clearly needing to find another way out of the city, though as he left, he could hear the father relieved that his son had returned.
By the time Xyveth finally made it back to the Swamp of Sorrows, the sun had begun to set, and the stars were beginning to illuminate the night sky. As he approached his ship, he caught his reflection in the water that his ship had rested in, and almost pulled his pistol from his belt. āDamned disguise...been wearing this damn thing too longā¦ā The Captain thought, only to remove the black eyepatch from his face, the illusion charm placed upon it quickly shattering, returning him to his normal Sinādorei self. Heād place the eyepatch within one of the pouches on his belt, and retrieve his crimson one and place it on as he approached the ship.
As Xyveth set foot on the Sirenās Lament, a wave of relief washed over the elf. As much as the Captain enjoyed his work, he never enjoyed being away from his ship for long, and now that he was back, he had no intentions of leaving anytime soon. The Captain pulled his flask from his belt, and took a swig of the whiskey held within, only to make his way to his quarters. As he walked, the sound of movement made his ears perk. āNo one should be aboardā¦.ā he thought to himself, quickly drawing his pistol from his holster, quickly ensuring that it was loaded. Heād quietly make his way to the door of his room, only to take a deep breath, and quickly open the door, his pistol aimed ahead of him as he entered.
As he did his scan of the room, the Captain noticed nothing out of place. Hell, his quarters were cleaner than when he left. āI know I heard someone aboardā¦.ā the Captain murmured to himself, returning his gun to his holster, only to hear a gasp behind him, his good eye widening in slight horror. āDamn...die on me own shipā¦.me friendsāll love tellinā this storyā¦ā The Captain thought, only to find himself getting hugged from behind, the arms wrapped around his torso rather familiar to him, only for a smile to quickly come to his face.
āWelcome home, my dear Captain.ā Ilyaeri spoke, only for the Captain to turn around and quickly return the hug and place a soft kiss on the womanās lips.
āHappy tābe home, me darlinā treasure.ā Xyveth spoke softly. Heād smile at her, happier to see her then he had ever been. āWhat are yeā doinā here?ā Heād ask, clearly a bit surprised to see her aboard.
āWell, I hadnāt heard from you since you left, so I got worried. I ended up coming here...and I guess I just wanted to be here when you came home.ā She giggled, her cheeks flushing slightly.
āIām happy yer here luvā.ā The Captain spoke, gently brushing some stray hairs from her face, only for his stomach to rumble rather aggressively, causing his own face to redden in embarrassment.
āWell, looks like you have perfect timing. I was just making myself some dinner, but I think thereās enough for two.ā Ilyaeri spoke teasingly, stealing another kiss from the Captain only to smile and run out of his quarters towards the kitchen.
āItās good tābe home.ā The Captain chuckled, only to glance out his window and watch the sun vanish beneath the skyline before following after Ilyaeri.
