It's been a few hours since they pulled into the harbor in Milah's old village and she snuck into town to find Bae. He figured it was best for her to go alone to do the convincing, because his presence would just be overwhelming. He's dismissed the rest of the crew to shore leave, making sure to stress caution because they don't want to be drawing attention to themselves here.

He can't deny that he's nervous, not knowing what the boy will think, if he'll even agree to come. He finds himself pacing the deck, but trying to hide it behind a captain checking on his ship, because again the doesn't want to draw attention to anything happening here.

He wishes they would come back soon.

Bae followed his mother, torn, conflicted, and confused. Papa had told him that Mama was dead.... but she wasn't she was here. With him. And he had been so happy she was alive and well...

But maybe they should have waited for papa to be come before they left... maybe they should have stayed... he still wasn't sure why his family couldn't stay that... a family.

But in the end...the fact that papa wasn't wrong, that he had lied... that he hadn't trusted Bae with the truth... in the end that was what got him to follow Milah away from the only home he had ever known. He was still mixed and conflicted and unsure but... he could always come back later. Right?

It was that messy stew of emotions on his face when he approached the ship, but hos eyes widened at the sight of it. It was HUGE! He couldn't figure out what to say or who to say it to... So he just stared at the ship, hardly even noticing its captain.

He notices them approaching, especially the awe on the boy's face, and he relaxes, but only just. She convinced him to come, and they made it back here safely, but he doesn't know how the boy is going to react to him. He steps forward and stands at the top of the ramp, waiting for them.

He can see Milah encouraging Bae forward with a smile.

He let himself be herded onto the ship, still looking all around, not stopping until he almost walked into Killian, his neck craned back to look at the sails. He blinked and stumbled back just before impact.

He then gave Killian a confused look. The man seemed familiar, but he was having trouble placing why, exactly.

Milah follows him onto the ship, reaching out a hand to keep him from stumbling. "Bae, son, this is Killian. It's his ship."

Killian is looking Bae over from head to toe. "Hello, lad. Welcome aboard."

From:

chicklet

"Hello," he said, looking at him, trying to remember why he seems familiar. He wanted to say more, but the sounds of the sails in the masts were so distracting, and the way the plank moved under his feet as the boat rocked. There was a whole lot more that was interesting to him about a ship than about some guy... At least at the moment.

He sees that look of fascination. It's the same one he had the first time he was on board a ship. Hopefully the similarities stop there; the first time he was on a ship was the time his father abandoned him. He hopes something similar doesn't happen to this boy. "Would you like a tour, lad?"

From:

chicklet

He hesitated then nodded. "Alright." He peered up, leaning back, and pointed to the crows nest. "Can I climb that?" he asked, seeming excited by the idea. Here is a Bae who doesn't have the fear that his every bump and bruise will get some one killed.

From:

"I think perhaps we should work our way up to that." The boy's enthusiasm is infectious though. "You should be steady on your feet first. Are you good at climbing trees?"

From:

chicklet

He gave him a look, one Henry will prefect years down the line. "I'm a kid."

And then just in case the adult missed the point of that, "Of course I can climb trees."

From:

"Then the rigging shouldn't be a problem. Once we get to that." He's still the captain, after all, and responsible for the safety of the crew.

From:

chicklet

He nodded, excited about this prospect, looking around everywhere, trying to see it all at once. "What first, then?"

From:

seekingcrocodile

"First a tour, and we start learning terminology. Then we'll see how you do with the rigging while we're in harbor and relatively calm." It won't do to have him fall off and injure himself, after all.
