[center] Dave The parrot chirped and flew off of Trixxtal, landing on young Protettore's head. The Golden Haired Mate desired sleep. Therefore, Dave figured he would watch over the Little Vampire, since both his Chosen and the Golden Haired Mate seemed to have taken an interest in the child's activities. Dave chirped once more to let the Golden Haired Mate know that he would guard the Little Vampire and the Sad Faced Vampire as they completed his Chosen's request. Charlie The vampire wanted to correct Trixxtal, but hesitated. He overheard the recent fight between him and Jecht, so bringing up the captain would probably land him into some sort of trouble. The two vampires fought often and he learned long ago to avoid getting brought into their quarrels. "Um, right..."he muttered uncertainly as the other blond left him and Protettore in the hallway. He looked over at the child and noticed Jecht's new parrot on his head, raising his brows with confusion. The captain must have gotten the bird during their stop in Italy after hearing the rumor that all great pirate captains had their trusty parrot with them. "Yes, please come with me." he requested, ignoring the parrot for now, beginning to walk out of the hallway with Protettore. As they made their way to the deck, Charlie explained Jecht's mission for him. "Well...you see...the captain sort of wants you to start your training, now, "he began, somewhat worried that the child would be hurt by Jecht's crazy training regime, "and stressed that it is very important...that you retrieve a certain item that First Mate Trixxtal sent into the ocean a few minutes ago." Charlie paused, and smiled sadly at Protettore. "I'll watch over you though...to make sure you stay safe. The captain might get mad if I interfere, but I've been through worse...so I'll help you if I sense anything going wrong. But it should not be that bad, really." When they reached the deck, Charlie led the younger vampire to the edge of the ship. "The ship is not sailing right now, so you just have to dive in and find the crown." he explained, giving Protettore a detailed description of the paper crown. "Some of the jewels your uncle placed on the paper crown might have fallen off, so I would grab those too if you happen to see any. Um...any questions?" Nemesis She smiled warmly at Videl, grateful for him agreeing. Deep down she wondered if he only agreed because she was a girl, but Nemesis wasn’t about to admit that thought. She needed his help, after all. “Ok.” she nodded, not understanding his last comment. She couldn’t speak Spanish but she was guessing that princesa meant princess. “So when is a good time for you? To start, I mean.” she asked excitedly. “And thank you, Videl, I’m so excited!” Cepheus & Jecht Once Jecht was finally finished feeding, Cepheus smirked and asked, “Weren’t you flirting with Trixxtal the other day, I’m pretty sure I saw you two kiss while fighting on that enemy ship.” Jecht scowled at the memory, still angry at the vampire, but didn’t say anything. He suddenly remembered that pocket watch he gave to Trixxtal and wondered if his first mate still had it. “Anyways, it’s time for me to act mother hen and tell you that you should go to sleep. Not tucking you in though and definitely no bed time stories!” interrupted Cepheus with a laugh, who stood from his seat and forcibly pushed Jecht onto his bed. Cepheus stepped back from the bed and turned around, walking towards the door. He reached the doorknob and paused for a moment. “Well, I hope you recover quickly…“We really should find a healer for the crew, captain.” he added, turning his head slightly only to see that Jecht had already fallen asleep. Cepheus shrugged, made a mental note to address the issue of a healer when Jecht was better, and then left. [/center]
