Theo chuckled softly, keeping a kind smile on his face. The name brought back memories. In the beginning they weren't pleasant. It started in a cell, attached to a table. It continued with no food or water. The climax was the clicking of a wheel and pulling of limbs. Theo couldn't forget the ending though, because it ended with a visit from a prince. The name William.

The pirate was still paying attention. He quickly brought himself back into the problems of the prince and watched the man let everything out. Theo looked down at the little drawing and as Callum began to break down even more the smile faded from Theo's face. The hardships of the a royal born too late. Theo stood up beside Callum. He wanted to comfort the prince, but he wasn't sure how  what he could do. The pirate gently gripped Callum's wrist, and moved in front of him peering down at the small prince.

"It's ok.." Theo said as he took the book from Callum and laid it on the table. "It's not though, its hard and unfair and boring and painful, and it's not ok and I get it." Seeing the tears in Callum's eyes, and without thinking, the pirate pulled Callum to the his chest then let go and wrapped his arms around the smaller man. "But you can share it with me". The mans arms were wrapped around Callum carefully, but strong. He liked how the prince felt in it arms, but would let go if Callum pulled away from him. A breeze of cold ocean air blow through the open window of the cell, blowing out the candle.
