Ahoy

[loudest_egan]

*a very small party is entering the castle gates, bundled up a bit in winter clothing and carrying larger packs. The two sailors in the back aren't saying much, nor is the brown-haired youth, but the fourth member of the party is speaking loudly enough for all of them*

...if it wasn't like that back in your day. Eh? HEHEHEHEHEH!!! I'm just teasin

Y-yeah...thanks for taking me along, Admiral. It was an honor.

[capn_subala]

*...and Lazlo is getting a very, very hearty clap on the back* Hey there!

[seacaptainlazlo]

*startled* Wha- oh. Subala! You're back already?

[capn_subala]

I been gone more'n two months! Time musta flown for you on the Lino, eh?

[youngest_egan]

*can hear him from a mile away and brings Kai with her as always*

Well, sounds like you enjoyed yourself while away, Father. Everything went well, I presume?

[loudest_egan]

*drops his bags on the spot and reaches out for the picking up of babies*

THERE'S MY LITTLE GUY! Heh! Hey, Bern. Sorry I didn't send word ahead, we didn't make port that often. Everything's fine, and the Lino's docked for the winter.

[youngest_egan]

*hands over a wide-eyed Kai who just stares up at his scruffy grandpa*

Oh, it's fine. You're a big boy. You can take care of yourself. And you know what you're doing. Alas, the winters last far too long for my taste. But at least, by the time it's spring, maybe Kai will be big enough to take a short trip.

*reaches out to tickle Kai's feet* Grandpa's back, sweetie. Say hi.

[loudest_egan]

*scruffy grandpa is indeed very scruffy after the journey from the capital*

Hi there, little face! Oho, aren't you getting big so fast? Sooner or later your momma's right, you're gonna be big enough to set sail with your whole family! *followed by much chuckling and rocking and cooing*

[capn_subala]

Admiral! You just get back?

[loudest_egan]

Yep! Good to see you, Miss Subala - looks like you beat us back.

[capn_subala]

Not by much. Only been back a couple days.

Where's the Lino? You dock her somewhere else?

[loudest_egan]

Yep, put her into winter berth at Vinay del Zexay. The lake freezes up in the winter, it'd be murder on the keel of a ship her depth.

*smart ass grin* Hey Mr. Egan, how's it going?

[loudest_egan]

...what the hell did you just call me?

It's Admiral or Dad to you, blondie!

[queenknightpimp]

Sir yes sir!

Hey, check it out! *will just be borrowing his son* He's got something working in there now! Watch.

Hey Kai? Show your big smiley face. *singsong* Ladies love me~

Kai: XD

[loudest_egan]

*just...busts up laughing*

Yeah, you're his daddy, all right.
