Rosedillusions (6:32:09 PM): Ching: *Steps out of the small sleeping quarters after making sure Ling was fast asleep, coughing softly into his hand before going up for some fresh air*
xaldinstrips (6:36:24 PM): Gabriel: *up in front of the wheel again, peers down from the rail at the boy* Lovely night, clearer than usual around these parts. *points at the stars briefly* You know the constellations?
Rosedillusions (6:37:22 PM): Ching: *ears round up* ? *Looks up before back at Gab, tilting his head* Eh?
xaldinstrips (6:51:05 PM): Gabriel: The stars.. *hops down to land beside him down on his haunches, wrists draping over his knees as he looked up at him* ..used to be long ago knowing the stars was the only way to get around the sea you know. *and shrugged a bit* Doesn't much matter though I suppose. Has the Captain shown you around the ship yet?
Rosedillusions (6:54:35 PM): Ching: *Jumps back some before looking back up again mouthing 'oh'* *didn't understand what
constellations was but summed it up with what Gabriel had said next* *Shakes his head with the question* o.o
xaldinstrips (7:03:45 PM): Gabriel: All right then..*stood fluidly with a smile* I'll try to show you both then. *offerinig his right to the panda and pocketing his left* Don't think I gave it before.. my name's Gabriel. Everyone here calls me Gabe, or Mate. Except the Captain. Hector's a whoel slew of nicknames for me.
Rosedillusions (7:07:00 PM): Ching: *Takes the others hand lightly and shakes quickly before taking his hand back* Gabe, Ching. *Wiggles his tail the slightest* <<
xaldinstrips (7:36:01 PM): Gabriel: *keens back on his heels for a moment after the shake, grinning* I remember. *and turns on one said heel towards the bow, briefly petting Ching's hair* Come along now.. *smiles back at him*
Rosedillusions (7:38:51 PM): Ching: *Pauses to look back from where he came encase Ling was awake... Finding no signs of that he followed after...He'd been on several ships before, this wasn't being his only time being a stowe away, but one: This was a pirate ship, much different from the others and two: The other ships weren't setting sail, he just snuck on for the food*
xaldinstrips (7:47:11 PM): Gabriel: *hums softly along the way, pointing thngs out* That is the stern back there, we're on the aft side... that side of the boat is port: and we, are headed for the bow: which is just a one-worded way of saying 'front of the ship'. *pausing, he looks up to the wooden basket all the way at the top of one of the masts* And waaaaaaaay up there, is my favorite place on this big submersable stick.. the crows nest. You can see all the stars up there, when the clouds aren't keeping them for themselves.
Rosedillusions (7:49:28 PM): Ching: *Gives Gabriel a long blank look,quickly trying to get it all in before nodding when he got it* *Looks up before pointing at himself and then pointing up wit ha light grin and a questioning look*
xaldinstrips (7:57:45 PM): Gabriel: *chuckled a bit thinking he got that one* You want to go up there? *looking up himself he closed one eye smiling* Well so long as you don't fall down, I don't see why not. *climbing up the rigging to the first mark he smiled and flicked his blond hair back a bit* Come on, I'll show you the stars..
Rosedillusions (8:00:24 PM): Ching: *Wiggles tail and quickly moves after... Looks back up at the crows nest and pauses a moment before climbing up after Gabriel* *Squeak ouo*
xaldinstrips (8:10:55 PM): Gabriel: *climbs most of the way, though jumping a few feet inbetween to pause at the cross beams and make sure the panda wasn't having any trouble: offering his hand over the side to help him into the nest when he came to it* You can see all the world the sea will let you from up here..
Rosedillusions (8:16:27 PM): Ching: *Climbs up eat easily, stopping every now and then to look down... And then question why the hell he does that to himself* *quickly scrambles in after taking Gab's hand and peaks out to look over the ocean* *Ears perk higher and peaks out more* ouo
xaldinstrips (8:31:30 PM): Gabriel: *ruffles the hair at the top of his head a bit, leaning on one arm over the edge of teh nest, perfectly at home like a cat who knows how to get out of his favorite tree: reaching back before he found and offered one of the apples to Ching, taking a bite of the other and pointing the stars in front of them out first* See that one? *points out the shape* that's the southern cross..
Rosedillusions (8:39:50 PM): Ching: *Noms at the apple hungryly and stares up at the sky* *points out a random group of stars before tugging at his ears* *Panda *
xaldinstrips (8:45:17 PM): Gabriel: *chuckles a bit and nods, pointing out another group, Ursa Major (a bear)* And there's another one. *apple nom* :3
Rosedillusions (8:46:22 PM): Ching: *Tugs at his ear again, a panda bear bear :0?*
xaldinstrips (8:53:40 PM): Gabriel: :3 *tickles the other ear a little and nods as he chews* There's a big dragon, a pegasus, and a littler bear up there too you know
Rosedillusions (8:56:06 PM): Ching: *Licks at the apple juices and wiggles that ear* Kirin?
xaldinstrips (9:08:53 PM): Gabriel: Mmhm. *points out the constellation with a smile, sticking his apple in his mouth and sucking ocassionally at the juices that way, pulling it out briefly to say* You can see even more from the Cove. I bet you'd like it there. There aren't many real trees, just teeny ones, but it's nice. There are more mammals like us there too.. not that chasing the fish off deck isn't fun sometimes. ^^ *can tell he enjoys that part of being first mate* Most of them are retired, what used to work on this boat, or the one before it: though I wasn't on that ship. My old man was though. He used to take the nest too. Hector says a first mate should leave this kind of thing for the other crew, but then he likes to get all bare and help them with the rougher work too, so he can't really talk. *chuckles a bit, rambling somewhat* Not that I mind. *purrs and ducks his smile behind the edge of the nest, big blue-green eyes nudging Ching* You have a girl mate? Or a boy? Or a .... something? ^^
Rosedillusions (9:13:28 PM): Ching: *Staaares... whut? You're talking to fast....Just nods, understanding barely any of that except for the first part, a few bits in the middle and the last part* *Tugsthe others ear a bit, making a displeased face about him going so fast before shaking his head to the last bit and tilting his head ...why?*
xaldinstrips (10:02:25 PM): Gabriel: o.o *tilts his head with the tug to the tawny black lined ears, the other one straight up and the one in his fingers trying though it was caught, though he smiled at the shake of his head, almost giggling* I just wanted to know. ^///^ We're going to be seeing a lot of eachother after all. at least five weeks to Phthalo... thats a long time without getting to know some one.
Rosedillusions (10:04:31 PM): Ching: Piffro? *Doesnt know of the other contenints* *Takes his hand back and covers his mouth, coughing softly*
xaldinstrips (10:17:28 PM): Gabriel: Ah. *sounds it out* Thall-Oh. *rubs between his shoulders softly, ears drooping a bit for the cough* It's a port city on the Island continent I come from. Well, my father did anyway. Tall white buildings, and a castle that's a school. Oh! And there are of course a lot of ships. We'll be stopping there for repairs, supplies and the like before we head back to the Cove.
Rosedillusions (10:19:51 PM): Ching: *Makes a face, wondering why people so easily except pirates in their ports...oh well* *looks down over the crows nest... and inches back again, swaying a bit* Eihk *To far up, stop looking down D<*
xaldinstrips (10:25:05 PM): Gabriel: *eases him back a bit to sit down, smiling* 's all right.. everyone does that the first time up here. :3 Once you get used to it, it's really nice. *raises his brows a bit* Are you sick though? Need to see the healer? *curious kitty is curious about the cough*
Rosedillusions (10:26:57 PM): Ching: *Shakes his head quickly and narrows his eyes, doesn't approve of the other being curious about that.. The more people wanting the know, the more possibilities his sister will want to know* *Points up and looks at the stars for a subject change*
xaldinstrips (10:31:42 PM): Gabriel: *looks over his face for a moment, not falling for the stars just then: but lets the subect change none the less* Right.. *leans in a bit and smiles to point out the biggest constellation, winding around the sky* That's the Dragon.. and over there is Pegasus, the flying horse.. and Casseopia. They say she was even more beautiful before she is now that she's nothing but stars you know..
Rosedillusions (10:33:57 PM): Ching: *Pleased with the change* *makes the female gesture he had back when he was talking about Ling, and then tilts his head... Doesn't have pen and paper to properly ask who Casseopia is... That and doesnt know if Gab even knows his language*
xaldinstrips (10:51:02 PM): Gabriel: *looks at him for a moment trying to figure that one out before he smiled* Ohhh~ who was she? *smiles wide* Casseopia was a very vain woman, who married a handsome King. And when they had a child, she bragged that her child was more beautiful than any other living. The proud King of the Sea --whose daughters were considered the most beautiful heard about that though, and sent his feircest leviathan into the Kingdom to ravage the lands and eat up all the people, their vain queen and her daughter. Wanting to save their people, Casseopia and her King consulted the oracles pleaing for a way to appease the angry Sea King and his hungry monster: and she told them that the only way to do that, was to give the daughter she had bragged about to the levaithans to eat. Which they did: BUT! *Gabriel smiled and leaned back* A hero came along and killed the monster before it could eat her! So instead, the Sea King took the Queen, and for her vanity and all teh trouble her bragging had started threw her up into the heavens, so no one would forget how bad vanity, jealousy, and braggery could turn out in the end: and there, for half the year, she spends her time upside-down. *framing those stars between his fingers, Gabriel sighed softly, just a little smile on his lips* All the stars have stories like that..
xaldinstrips (6:36:24 PM): Gabriel: *up in front of the wheel again, peers down from the rail at the boy* Lovely night, clearer than usual around these parts. *points at the stars briefly* You know the constellations?
