Do the people in these ports generally speak ~~High~~ English, or do they have their own?

And while I'm on that note, how many languages are spoken amongst the people on this ship? I'd like to learn at least one of them in the time I'm here.

ALUCARD EMERY

I'm fairly confident I'm going to win the bet.

We have people to talk to.

RHY MARESH

It sounds promising for you.

I love talking to these people.

ALUCARD+RHY

We won't know until we get there, but large castles, flying carpets... I'm optimistic.

So many languages to learn. And people to practice them with.

ALUCARD & RHY

I shall have my quill ready. I'll have to see you out there with all that to be properly inspired.

I can't wait to learn the one that uses hand motions instead of the spoken word.

ALUCARD+RHY

I plan on being everywhere, don't worry.

Then we should start learning it today.

ALUCARD & RHY

Multiple lands to explore in a handful of days. It's fantastic.

Race you to the library.

ALUCARD + RHY

Isn't it? A dream come true, really.

I am so beating you there.

ALUCARD & RHY

That part has always been fun.

No cheating with magic!

Dreams coming true?

It's not cheating to have come to this deck for a coffee beverage.

ALUCARD & RHY

The sea being full of wonders.

You got lucky. But you didn't make me bet on it before you told me you were going to win, and that's your own fault.

ALUCARD + RHY

That sounds like you have stories to tell me.

It's a skill, sometimes, to be in the right place at the right time. See, if you were Bard or Kell, I would have made that bet first. But there was no need here.

ALUCARD & RHY

I've made a lot of stories in three years. I wouldn't quite say all of them are appropriate for the ears of the King of Arnes though.

I would have made you bet. If I'd already been in the library.

ALUCARD + RHY

If the crown is off, I'm just Rhy.

Tch. Where is your love of risk?

ALUCARD & RHY

You are. But you are not going to forget what has happened when it is put back on.

It was beaten out by my love of winning.

ALUCARD + RHY

I'm beginning to feel like you don't trust me.

One poem is not enough for you?

ALUCARD & RHY

It's not that, Rhy. There are great adventures and stories, yes. But some of them aren't meant for London. Some items aren't. If I had known what the Inheritor was when I first had it, I still wouldn't have brought it to London. It had no place there, at that time.

I'm not always going to ask for poems.

ALUCARD + RHY

I don't want to hear only the great ones or the good things. I want to hear all your stories. The good and the bad.

You don't have to tell all of them, or any of them, right now. But I don't want you to be keeping things secret, especially not because they might be too hard to hear. And if you need to be officially pardoned of all past crimes in order to make that happen, I could arrange that, but I'd much rather you just trusted me.

What would you have asked for, were you in the library?

ALUCARD & RHY

There is a mess of stories. They are not all so readily divided between good and bad, the noble and the selfish. The only decision I regret at sea was not returning to London as soon as I was free of that ship. But there are many you may not like.

We will talk about things. In time. Over time. I don't need a pardon to tell you, but a pardon would probably be good for official purposes at some point.

I'm saving that for our next bet.

ALUCARD + RHY

I've already been told plenty of stories I don't like. I want to hear yours anyway. [...] I made the mistake once of thinking I knew you, all of you, based only on how you were with me. I don't want to do that again.

If it's needed, you'll have it. You have my word.

I can hardly wait.

ALUCARD & RHY

I grew a hard shell out there. It will take some practice to share them. [...] Berras had a man on the ship, to keep an eye on me. Some things were better kept between the sea and me. It was the only way to achieve my goals. Such as entering the Essen Tasch.

Thank you.

	I understand. I'm really not trying to pressure you to do it soon. I just don't want you to be purposefully holding anything back. [..] ~~Saints~~ I'm almost to the library. Why don't we talk there? You've earned it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alucard+rhy anoshe 2018-03-06 06:39 am UTC (link)
	We are still taking the first few steps. It's a matter of the right time. Sometimes that is what feels right for me. [...] Yes, I have found a book for us, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)
