[IC] The Black Tide

[Saarebas]

Guyton was already awake and in the kitchen and was cooking eggs for the crew. He thought no one was around so he began to sing a Jamaican nursery rhyme.

[CallaLily180]

Caoro got up and brushed her hair, she put on a nice dress and walked to the kitchen. "Eri I need help with the lacing on my dress." The dress was a lacy flat dress so she could walk around comfortably.

[manapool1]

Guy lay in his hammic, for the loud bash man he was, he slept as if he was an innocent young man, and was quiet as a mouse.

[CallaLily180]

Eri never came over so she went to Guy's hammock and woke him. "Guy I need help with my laces."

[manapool1]

Guy jumped up in shock, and looked over at Caoro, jumping up and wiping the drool off his face quickly.

"Um isn't it kinda weird for me to do this" he said as he turned to the lace, tying them with ease, at least he was good at that.

[CallaLily180]

Caoro was confused. "How so?"

[manapool1]

He looked up, trying not to look at her rear, but gave in after a moment, making him cross his legs agian, he quickly looked up.

"no reason at all, so may I ask what the occasion is?"

[CallaLily180]

Caoro smiled slightly and looked behind her she saw his eyes flutter up but she didn't comment. "We are in France, a princess cannot walk around without a dress on." When he was done she would turn around and smile brightly. "Would you like to check on your shield?"

[manapool1]

Guy jumped up, his burlap clothing seemed like nothing compared to what she wore, she looked like the person they would steal from.

"my shield! yes lets go let's go let's goooooo" he said jumping excitedly.

thought he ha never been to France, or thought about it, he was glad to be there, the sea was great, but he liked to stretch his legs, even thought he sometimes couldn't get off.

[CallaLily180]

Caoro took his hand but then dropped it. "You will act as my courtier OK?" She walked down the stairs onto the port and was immediately recognized and welcomed.

[manapool1]

Guy jumped in front of the people in front of them, he pulled his spear up to his chest and looked around with fire in his eyes, he looked so out of place, they looked like fools in there strange cloths, yet they looked at him with judging faces.

[CallaLily180]

A lot of the people looked at Guy strangely and she explained to a few people he was her courtier. When they got to the castle the rumor would be spread and all would stop judging him...in public. "Lets go Guy."

[manapool1]

Guy nervously put down his spear and walked with her, looking around, occasionally ducking or slightly raising his weapon, he wasn't adjusted to the new place.

"why are they dressed like that? were are there weapons?" he whispered to caoro as they walked on.

[CallaLily180]

She pointed to a few regal men. "Only the guards carry weapons, and they dress like that because it is pretty." Her back was straight and her words were clear, most got on their knees for her while she passed.

[manapool1]

Guy looked around, these people were wierd, he tightened his grip, were they trying something? was this a sign of great power or to show weakness? He noticed how the woman stood next to him and reset his stance, his back straightened out instead of hunched over, and his face blank yet somehow dignified.

[CallaLily180]

When they finally got to the castle they were rushed inside and taken to the throne room, Caoro got down on one knee. "Mother, it is great to see you."

Queen Katrice smiled at her daughter and told a few servants to grab her gifts. "Rise child rise, a few of your gifts are prepared." Then she saw Guy. "Who is this young man?"

[manapool1]

Guy looked around before falling to both knees and putting his head to the ground like he had seen eri and oboro do so manytimes, He proceeded to stand up and look at the lady who called caoro child and kept his blank face. Finally beginning to speak, he seemed shell shocked.

"I-i I am guy, s-s-son of j-jason, I am here to protect yuour 'child' and possibly help her out" he did not say anything about the shield, he didn't want to seem shallow.

[CallaLily180]

Caoro looked at her mother. "Mother he is my...courtier."

Katrice looked at her daughter in shock, but then cleared her throat. "Come with me to the parlor, your gifts are in there." She would get up and a servant would help her down the steps.

[manapool1]

Guy quickly stood up and followed caoro, feeling as if he had failed her do to the shocked face the queen had given her, still he stayed close.

[CallaLily180]

When they got into the parlor Katrice presented the gifts. "We were not expecting you so early so only a number of the gifts are done." She said shamefully.

Caoro did not mind that only half were done. "No mother it is fine I see a lot of things are done." A servant lifted each gift as if it were a precious child naming them off as he went. "A dagger, fresh food, the finest french rum, and the cat is on its way over." He said elegantly then he backed away. "Thank you mother."
