(Oh my god thank gosh someone understands! Bees, flies, wasps, basically any insect or arachnid or rodent I just can’t deal with. Anything dirty or that can sting you. I tthink it’s part of the health anxiety thing I don’t know. So yeah. I haven’t seen any more signs of a mouse in here and I’m starting to get tired but I still don’t think I’ll sleep.
might do a reply just to pass time)

Chantara smiled. "Wonderful!" he said and tilted his head as he looked at Henry. He was glad to finally have a friend who didn't expect much. But he was somewhat inexperienced in what to do next. "So what do friends do? Are there rules that you humans have when it comes to friends? I don't know as much about your people as Thessa does," he rambled with an awkward shrug. Noctifer climbed on top of Chai's head and stared down at Henry. At Chai’s question, Henry thought a little about what he wanted to say, biting his lip, before shrugging.
”I mean, kind of. Just a few little social rules. Human relationships are complicated, just like any relationship I guess. I mean, I don’t know if your relationships are complicated, but I imagine they are. But it’s okay, I’m a pirate, I’m not easily offended and by nature I don’t care much for rules. What about friendship for you? Anything I should know?”
Hal looked at Noctifer on top of Chantara’s head and smiled.
”Noctifer, right? He’s so cool.”

Kali followed behind Thessa, raising an eyebrow at Triton when he scowled at her. She crossed her arms as she waited for the two rulers to talk, interested to see how they interacted with each other.

(Aww I really appreciate it! Thanks x)
Henry laughed a little when he saw that Noctifer was trying to sniff him. He reminded him a little of vague memories he still had of childhood pets. Before everything happened, of course.
“Yeah, he’s cool. And it seems that we humans like him, too.”
The young man moved a little closer to his newfound friend so he could take a closer look at Noctifer, admiring the creature. They had nothing like Noctifer on land, after all. Though Henry supposed Chantara might be just as fascinated with a dog or a cat as Hal was with Noctifer.
The creature seemed extremely friendly, which was nice. Not all of the creatures they’d come across so far on this trip had been friendly. In fact, scratch that: none of the creatures they’d come across this journey had been as friendly. But then one of them was a dragon so...

(I'm just imagining Chai meeting a dog and he's just like 0.0 WHAT IS THAT!?! And just jumps up and down like an excited child trying to get their mother's Attention)
Thessa gave Triton a scowling look as she reached him. "Be nice," she ordered and stopped in front of him. She shifted her weight so that she was leaning against the trident they shared. Transitioning into their native tongue, Thessa gave the king a steady gaze. "Cousin I have a favor to ask you. I know how reluctant you were to come here in the first place, so how about you help me and you can leave much faster. The sea dragon. It has to go if these humans are to find a place where they could live for more than a few days. Persuade it to leave these people alone so they can continue their journey," she offered inclining her head towards the giant beast that circled the island. Triton gave Thessa a hard look. "You would help these people-- these humans? Why, Thessalonike?" he asked in a deep growl responding back in their language. He glared up at Kali who (I have to assume) is giving him a hard look in return. "Could you have a heart? They need help," she snapped glaring at him. "I don't need a war king right now. I need my level-headed cousin to think straight." The king scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "I am thinking level-headed. Humans are nothing but destroyers. Have you already forgotten your mission, cousin?" he asked raising his eyebrows in a challenge. Thessa bristled and got right up in his face. "If you don't help I am going to keep you here with these people that you so despise for much longer than you want. Make a decision," she threatened in a low voice narrowing her eyes. Triton stared her down until finally, he gave in. With a sigh he rolled his eyes. "Fine," he hissed as Thessa grinned up at him. "I'm only doing this for you," he grumbled and started to head towards the water. Switching back to english the merqueen called out to her cousin. "Monster King," she called in a teasing manor and he turned to look at her. She tossed the trident to him and caught it in one hand. And with that he headed towards the ocean.
Chantara held up the baby dragon to Henry's face and held the creature still. It looked at Henry with big gold eyes and sniffed his nose. Sitting down, Noctifer tilted his head as he stared at Henry. He was a curious little creature so he leaned forward and placed a foot on Henry's nose. "I think he likes you."

[Honestly this conversation between Hal and Chai is the purest thing ever like honestly I live for this. Also we need Operation Get Chai To Meet A Dog]
Henry smiled when the creature sniffed him and watched as Noctifer put a foot on his nose. The teenager laughed at this, laughing in a way he didn't think he'd done in a long time; he felt like a kid again, in a way. Well, a kid like he was before the whole piracy thing. He couldn't pretend that was a conventional childhood. Either way, he felt more carefree than he had in a long time. And that was an achievement considering that he didn't think his blood pressure had been at a normal level for this whole trip.
"I like him too," Henry replied "So, what does he eat?"

"You sure have a way to charm people to do your bidding," Kali commmented as she watched Triton return to the sea. "I take it he's gonna make sure the Sea Dragon won't beach another ship for a little bit?" She was getting visibly anxious or impatient, it was hard to tell. She kept glancing up the beach to make sure Blackbeard's crew hadn't gotten this far on the island. "Any chance you can get those Sea Sprites to mess with some people?" She asked, wanting the other pirates as distracted as possible so they could steal their ship... not that Thessa knew exactly what was going on.

"Never thought i'd have to actually go through with a plan, amigo," She joked. She still couldn't believe they were going to steal one of Blackbeard's ships. She figured she might be able to outrun him long enough until she reached retirement. But, stealing his ship which if he were to ever find it and discover not his crew but the crew of the Tempest, they would surely be killed. And probably not quickly. With a sigh, Zenobia looked up at the Commodore. "I should probably go with the scout group. I'm the quietest one here it only makes sense. The spite that she had rescued last night emerged from under her hair and stared at the two other men. Zeno didn't notice. "Just find me some men who are equally as quiet. Santiago let out a laugh at the retort, shaking his head as an amused smile played at his lips, folding his arms to his chest thoughtfully. This was going to be a tough situation, if Blackbeard ever found out who'd stolen his ship they'd all be goners, if anything they'd have to steal another ship once they got to another port in an attempt to get his pirates off their tails. He nodded slowly at the idea, not complaining at all that he hadn't been chosen, not exactly wanting to risk his life for something dangerous. "We can find some people, Zeno." He agreed, looking rather apprehensive at his point, as he absolutely hated the idea of even going close to that ship.

(The cutest teenagers. We must protect them!)
"Fish mostly. When he gets bigger he'll start feeding on large schools of fish," Chantara answered as he started to pull his hands back. Noctifer sensed that he was going back to his master's side and leap from his hands. Before the merprince had a chance to snatch him back, he crawled onto Henry's shoulder and then hid behind his back. peaking out from over Henry's shoulder, Noctifer blinked his big eyes at the Prince. "He's also very curious as he's still young," he said in a scolding way as he looked back at the dragon with narrowed eyes.
Thessa watched as Triton disappeared under the waves. "I know my cousin. What he wants and, more importantly, what he doesn't want. I can be persuasive when it benefits me," she said then glanced at Kali. She looked upset. Like something was bothering her. "Are you going to explain why you need the sea dragon to move so quickly? I've done my part, perhaps you could explain your plan now?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest and looking back out over the ocean. While it was phrased and sounded like a question it was more like a demand. She was still annoyed with the pirate.
(Looking up spanish insults is fun) Zenobia nodded and looked out among the crew. The merking had disappeared into the ocean again, Kali was speaking with Thessa, Henry and the young merman that had helped the men next to her were speaking. She grimaced slightly as she looked at them. She had to convince herself that she wasn't going to die doing this. Closing her eyes tightly and shaking her head quickly, she spoke again. "We're killing them, correct?" she asked pinching the bridge of her nose. "No," Fletcher interrupted glaring at Zenobia. "We are not going to ki-" "You don't get a say in this you- you- you tonto ignorante," she snapped turning to direct the rest of her unused rage at the Pirate Hunter. She pointed an accusing finger at Fletcher as she searched for words in English. She wanted him to understand her. But the angrier she got the less English words she could think of. "You're the one that- that got us into this shit! El burro sabe mas que tu!" she growled as Fletcher glared and towered over her.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine, it doesn’t bother me,” Henry smiled as the creature peeked over his shoulder. It was cute!
But he could now see Zenobia shouting at Fletcher and Fletcher starting to get angry. It looked like this was a job for Henry to help diffuse the situation a little bit. He gently took hold of Noctifer, careful not to hurt the creature of cause it any discomfort, and passed it back over to Chantara as the sound of angry Spanish drifted over on the air.
“I’m really sorry, I have to go. We’ll talk more soon though, I promise,” the young male said as he stood up and hurried over to where this confrontation was. Santiago was also there, but it might take the two of them to sort this situation out.
Hal stepped beside Zenobia, over whom Fletcher was currently towering.
“Can someone explain to me what’s happening? It would be really helpful.”

Kali shrugged and glanced up the beach. "Another ship washed ashore. We are going to steal it from the crew." She said simply. She held up a finger as if knowing Thessa would protest to robbing another poor crew. "The other crew is from the fleet of one of the most dangerous Pirates to sail the seas. If they find us out before we can take their ship then they will kill us all without hesitation." She explained. "So that's why we need the Sea Dragon out of the way for a little while, once we are clear of the island then it can go back to what it was doing as that would prevent Blackbeard's crew from following us.

Santiagos face remained impassive as Zenobia turned her rage towards him. He simply arched a brow when she swore that she'd tear through them just to get away, understanding she was most likely feeling homesick, and nodded slowly before letting out a heavy sigh. "They know magic, Red. They're a dangerous people and would make your life worse than this if you were foolish enough to kill the royalty. You think this mission is a death sentence? Try threatening on of them. Use the merpeople to make our voyage easier. If we do that we will both be home quicker." He ersrponded evenly, suddenly shockingly sober as he tipped his head to one side. "However. We could kill Blackbeards crew if you'd wish. I wouldn't be opposed to helping with the attack." he responded, a razor sharp grin forming on his features, even if he shouldn't be fighting with the injury that was still healing. He turned a little to Henry, letting Zeno do the talking at first, crossing his arms as he studied the man. "We need a group who can be quiet so we can take any of the remaining crew by surprise."

Henry listened to the explanations of the others as to what was going on, and he nodded slowly. He accepted their explanation, though he felt there was a mismatch between that information and the argument he’d observed. There must be something he was missing. He’d find out what it was sooner or later, he supposed. For now he wasn’t too worried about it.
“Okay,” he said with a shrug ”but I don’t see arguing amongst the to-do list, so let’s get sorted so this attack is planned and ready to go. If this is our chance to get off this island I don’t see another option. So I’m happy to help if you need me.”
He might be able to make himself useful here but for now he just wanted to make sure everyone was finished with the arguing. Arguing, after all, very rarely achieved anything except make everyone really angry.

(School has started for me ya'll so uh yayyyyy....... -_-)
Kali nodded, not sure it would be a good idea for a queen to fight in a petty Pirate fight.... but she also didn't care as Thessa was her own person and could make her own decisions. "Those Sprites of yours that like to mess with Humans could be useful if you want to have them distract the other crew while we take the ship it would be nice. We aren't exactly in the best of shape." She said as she looked at the crew that was half covered in blue seaweed from their injuries.

(I had assessments yesterday for my school (To see what level classes i'll be put in), crashed as soon as I got home, and slept hard till like noon. Now im sore and it hurts to move ) Zenobia muttered something under her breath in spanish as Fletcher told Henry about what was going on. She was about to say something louder towards Henry's point about arguing but Fletcher agreed with him before she could get a word in. Zeno had promised not to argue with Alaric. Not everyone else. Besides, it wasn't much of an argument as she was telling the pirate hunter off. She stared out at the other crew members, pretending not to pay attention to the conversation. "We'll take all the help we can get. Neither I nor Santiago should go but you should do perfectly fine," he said. It sounded like a suggestion but from the look on his face it was more of a command. "I'll speak with them but they won't go very far towards the water. Perhaps that can cast small illusions on the opposing crew?" she suggested and cupped her hands. She spoke quickly before releasing the words into the air and making the wind pick up and carry her message. "They should be ready to deal with anything that comes our way," she muttered as she looked out towards the treeline.

(Oh no that’s not good. Well I hope you feel better soon!
Also I just read over my last post with Henry and I’m like... he’s literally always trying to stop arguments. And he’s not as gifted as he thinks at conflict resolution XD)

Santiago seemed to bristle when Fletcher stated that he would absolutely not go. The pirate lifted his hands, barely wincing at the movement as his muscles tugged at the injury, and folded it against his chest as his smirk turned sharp and perhaps a bit dangerous. There wasn't anyway that the Commodore was going to just command him to do something and he go along with it. Perhaps if he had pulled Santiago to the side to discuss it he might be willing but he definitely didn't like Fletcher making the decisions for both of them. His eyes softened, though, when he caught the hidden worry in his eyes even with him glaring at the smaller man. "We don't have time to let me sit around and do nothing, either," He returned, although there was a different tone in his voice. (Hey I Start school at the same time as you, Leo )
