ahoy matey
Characters: Jacen and Bastien
Date: November 28th, early evening
Location: Aifaran docks
Situation: Jacen broods about his (dead) brother and makes friends with a merpirate?
Warnings/Rating: None yet, will add if something comes up.
[ Jacen watches the sunset from the docks, sitting on the edge of one of the ramps extending further out into the sea with his toes brushing idly against the water. He can't say he's a fan of the water, not particularly, but there's something about the bustle of the area that's familiar and comforting. Maybe because of the coming and going of the ships, although the ships of his world are more of the aerial kind.
He's experienced quite a few strange things in the weeks he's been in Aifaran, but his thoughts keep drifting back to his brother, who'd died in his universe but who he'd also been briefly reunited with in this peculiar world. He'd thought that had been the Force's reason for bringing him to Aifaran — to make amends and to make things right — but he'd allowed himself to think he had all the time in the galaxy that by the time Anakin had disappeared, he'd actually... not done anything. Except maybe spend a bit more time being the older brother he should've been.
The batcat on his shoulder interrupts his brooding, though, licking his ear affectionately. He laughs. ] Cut it out, Annie. I'm fine. [ Yes, he's changed her name, to something more personal. ]

It’s okay. You gotta eat, right? I just have to put a warning label on my toes next time. [ Don’t look so pleased, Jace. Your jokes aren’t funny. Never have been.
He then looks at Bastien curiously. ] Didn’t you say you were a pirate?
no subject
Haha! There won't be a next time, lad. [He claims as he crossed his hand over his chest.] Cross my weasely black heart, mate! You won't become lunch.
[At the next question, Bastien couldn't help but laugh heartily.]
That I am, lad! The best pirate you'll ever see but my mum was a mermaid, thus I'm the first 'merpirate' in history.
no subject
[ Not that Jacen’s ever had a lot of trouble convincing other creatures that he’s not lunch material. He’s always had an affinity for wildlife, one of his peculiar Force abilities.
Bastien’s laugh is contagious, though, and in no time the lad is laughing as well. Strangely enough, he feels at ease with the merpirate; maybe because he’s part sea creature, which Jacen has a soft spot for, and part scoundrel, like Jacen’s dad. ] I can’t say I’ve heard of merpirates in the worlds I’ve been to, so yeah, I think we can go with First Merpirate. Did the Dreaming do you the courtesy of bringing your ship with you?
no subject
[Bastien can't help but frown a little. He's still mad at himself for sinking so low. Usually he would've let such a pretty young thing go but he was desperate and confused. Bastien had a rough arrival.]
Merfolks are a rarity in general, so I'm a certain I'm the first merpirate in this part of the sea. [He grins toothily at Jacen as he attempts to climb onto the pier. It's a little bit of a challenge when he lacks legs but Bastien manages with ease despite being completely drenched. The merpirate is far stronger than he seems.]
Unfortunately, no! Me ship sank to the bottom of the sea prior with my poor...[A sigh escapes him.] Poor crew.
no subject
[ At the mention of Valdis, Jacen’s expression is a mix of amusement and disbelief. He attempted to mug her, really? Bastien’s either brave or stupid to try. ] Valdis is definitely someone you don’t mug. Not sure about mean, but she’s pretty intimidating. [ And pretty. But Jacen doesn’t say that.
He then watches Bastien climb up the pier beside them, and while he’s initially grinning at the other’s antics and generally fun nature, he finds himself sighing as well when the merpirate mentions losing his crew.
Jacen looks away, back to the horizon, his gaze distant. ] Yeah, I know what that’s like. I... lost some friends, too.
