[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4801235, member: 2012"] [B][I]In the hold:[/I][/B] “What were you thinking!” Bactra shouted at the top of his lungs. The companions had once again gathered together, this time in the hold. Only Thessa and Rikin weren't present; the priestess was guarding the sea princess and Rikin was working alongside the crew. He was becoming a good sailor. “Do not shout,” Teal whimpered. “I said I was sorry.” A young forest elf stood trapped against a wall near the end of corridor, near the aft of the ship. She could pass as human child in her teens if not for her sharply pointed ears. “I must agree with Bactra,” Crystal said. “It was foolish for you to have come along. Now we must take you home, which will delay this voyage for months.” “No.” Dabuk stated will little emotion. “She's here now. She'll have to stay and pitch in.” Teal's eyes brightened at Dabuk's words. “She cannot stay! She's a child!” Bactra yelled. “She's older than most of the crew,” Dabuk replied. “You need to calm down and see the larger issue, cousin. We cannot delay. I will not delay.” “Then I will take her back myself,” Bactra said. He stared down Dabuk, determined. “I- we need you here,” Dabuk replied. He puts his hand on his cousin's shoulder. “I cannot force you to stay but I implore you to stay. We'll keep her on board at all times. She'll remain in the wardroom with the sea princess. Crystal and Thessa can watch out for her.” “This is not a good idea, Dabuk.” Crystal said. “Having her on board is risky.” “Do you think I really want her here?” Dabuk replied. “She's a pain, but we cannot delay.” Teal's eyes teared at the half-elf's words. “Show some compassion, lad.” Dvalin barked. “We all know how she feels about you.” Dabuk looks at Teal with disdain. She thought she was in love with him. He didn't feel the same. Yes, she was attractive, but she was also a blood relative. It made him nauseous. More nauseous than the rolling sea outside the hull. “I'm sorry, cousin,” Dabuk semi-apologized to Teal. “I know you think I'm your soul mate but it cannot happen. The idea goes against how my grandfather raised me. I guess I am to human to accept the way of my forest kin in this matter.” “I'll wait,” Teal replied with a smile. “You change your mind someday.” “Gods,” Mesik said. “We're going to let her stay, aren't we?
