So cold... All the same, all about me. The wit, the wisdom. Here I stand, Here I live... The truth of a revelation, frozen in fear. Slowly dying...
Tessa followed through thereafter, giving an appreciative nod and smile to Ilyia as she passed, and her attention directed itself quickly to Calypso, though she suspected to get involved would not be the best of ideas. She stepped out through the doorway but immediately caught sight of an unfamiliar figure and turned back to Calypso. "We have guests?" She asked, confused.

 Jack------------------------------------------ ------------------- Cortez Of Blood and Gold I know, of the freedom of a ship, and only the wind holding you back.
"Yes," Calypso said, slightly puzzled, looking to Jack curiously, her hand over the paper by about three inches, a steady onslaught of gentle wind pouring onto the paper, drying the ink. Jack couldn't help but peer over and narrow his eyes as he could not decipher the foriegn text. His mother pulled an arm over it protectively.
"I thought Jack had told you," Calypso explained, folding her letter and withdrawing from her pocket a silver stamp and a stick of wax. This she used to stamp her seal. The goddess disappeared out onto the balcony for a moment, a gull could be seen flying away with the letter in its beak, before she sat back down behind the desk.
"Don't get too comfortable," Jack muttered.

You don't get anywhere by being a fool. You don't overcome tactical disadvantages by charging recklessly. You overcome all things by use of wit and wisdom. Even so, it is in performance that these are united. If the world burns, as so many allege, it merely needs aid to be lifted out of the fire. Embrace its meaning, learn the truth.
"Ah, so rumor does hold true." A voice said from just outside before a young man stepped about to the doorway, "I apologize for missing you earlier, Captain." He swept into a humble bow, though his every move seemed tentative to the point of nearing fear. "My friends can be uncouth at times, and again I apologize for that. In any event my name is Lucas Mikero. I trust that given enough time we may get along." Tessa remained silent, in fact stepped to the side and out of sight. She suspected a number of events already, none of which particularly pleased her, but in her effort to remain diplomatic, simply removed herself from the situation.

Jack eyed Lucas, looking him over up and down a few times. "Perhaps," He said dismissively after a moment of studying. "How long your stay with us is as always a factor, and how much you would be questioning my judgment," He added after a long pause. He touched the brim of his hat absentmindedly and looked over his mother's shoulder to the array of resealed letters laying to the side of her parchment.
"You have left a great many members of the more immortal races looking for your money," Calypso muttered, taking out her glasses again and beginning to write again. Jack rolled his eyes and tucked the letters into his coat, ready to dispose of them later.
"For the moment however, as you are, in fact, aboard my ship, is there anything you might require?" Jack asked, looking back to Lucas thoughtfully.

"Nothing," Lucas said calmly, "at least not that I can think of. I try to be self-sufficient when I can be. In any event, I suppose there might be something I could do for you, since after all I am indeed on your ship?" He shrugged lightly, as if to indicate he didn't mind at all returning service for service, though the look in his eye betrayed a slight irritation, though his glance towards his comrades betrayed exactly who merited the same aggravated state of the Eldiri. He sighed and looked back to Jack, his look apologetic and yet slightly questioning.

Jack narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head. "Stay out of the way of the crew, they know what they are doing," Was his only request before he moved past Lucas and onto the deck, his eyes sweeping across the deck for Mr. Porter. Finding him, quickly he crossed over and engaged in a detailed list of the going ons of his ship.
Calypso sighed and drummed her fingers on the desk. "It certainly is a shame he didn't inherit his father's patience," She said quietly with a shake of his head as she flipped over her paper.

Lucas watched Jack leave in silence, but the sound of Calypso's voice gave him pause, and he turned to her with a curious look. "I don't normally meddle in affairs of a discriminate nature, but what happened between him and Erathis to have such a supposedly hostile relationship between them?" For a moment he turned to watch his comrades, thankful that Erathis had in fact not heard him as he turned back to Calypso, and he lifted his hand in indication to the space inside. "May I enter?"

Calypso beckoned Lucas into the cabin and folded her glasses on the desk, slightly irritated at the disarray of Jack's monetary affairs. "As far as I can tell it is merely bad timing on Erathis' part, Jack's untimely thirst, and the prescence of several people aboard of which he had not wished to deal with, but was forced to over a long period of time," Calypso said quietly. "But the man is as unpredictable as the seas," Laughing at her own self directed joke, Calypso gestured to a seat close to the desk for Lucas to sit in.

Lucas stepped in and carefully closed the door behind himself, sitting down after a moment with his cloak drawn at his side. His silence held for quite some time as he contemplated what both Erathis and Calypso had told him with several analyses on the former and insecurities of the latter. "I don't understand," he confessed, "if he is as unpredictable as you say, why has every report spoken solely of contempt? It just doesn't make sense..."

"This is my son we are talking about, yes?" Calypso asked with a laugh. "For he as a whole makes little sense. And I doubt it is hostile as merely uneasy. Jack looks unkindly at bad timing and a repeated bad timing is more an annoyance to him," She said looking down for a moment, her eyes following the grain of the wood. "He can be charming at one time, hostile at the next. Gentle or rough depending on his mood, wrathful or forgiving in the next whim of the wind,"
"He will most likely avoid you for a time, but if I know him as I believe I do, he will come around. Merely do as he asked, and he will see that bad timing can turn into good things," She said after a moment of thought. "It is patience that a man must have for an impatient man, much like the patient farmer pulling along his mule," The goddess quoted, with a faint smile on her lips, a memory brought up.

"Understood," Lucas nodded, "it seems I will have to teach my friends patience then... and for some reason Erathis is the better name involving that one, as you might have realized by now." With a defeated sigh, he made his way out through the doorway but paused just outside. "Thank you."

Calypso nodded and dropped her gaze to her letter again while murmuring something about talking to Jack later. She drummed her fingers on the desk before sighing, putting away her paper and going to the balcony, leaning over the railing, debating on whether or not to leave the ship for a while or not.
Above on the top deck Jack toasted Mr. Porter with a glass of wine on his marriage before downing it and going off in search of Tessa.

Tessa remained at the railing on the side of the ship, idly looking out at sea. The sound of Jack's footfalls had grown familiar to her keen hearing, and upon hearing their approach she turned to him with a smile. "Everything as you left it, I hope?" She asked cheerily, "I wouldn't want our little trip to wind up causing something disastrous." She laughed slightly, but the way in which she did betrayed to a slight extent that she did in fact know something she hadn't yet revealed. She leaned back against the railing and took a moment to stretch over backwards in a comparatively showy manner before she straightened in a half-lean against the surface. "Come now, how are you?"

"Show off," Jack murmured with a grin, looping his arms around Tessa, tracing the slight arch of her back slowly. "I am alright, no casualties," Jack chuckled, looking around briefly before returning his attention to Tessa, falling into a shallow thought for a moment. "Why would our trip have caused anything disastrous?" He asked after a moment.

Tessa shrugged and twisted her neck side to side while she considered her answer, but could only laugh at the thought. "Well, upkeep of a ship isn't something I'm used to, let alone its crew. I was thinking maybe something could have gone wrong in our absence. You seemed a little skeptical before we left anyway; I was just curious." She cast a brief look out at sea before she realized that in fact they weren't docked as they had been when the couple had departed, which left the same question echoing yet again in her mind. "So, where are we heading anyway?"
