Clavier groaned to himself, he'd have to cut down on being so honest in front of this young girl. "The sky's blue cause it's reflecting the sea." He told her, smiling a little before his eyes went to Lilly and Aveline. "She's not bothering us at all, the both of us don't mind children. I really think they're cute." The woman replied and tied up a knot quickly and perfectly, she tucked some hair behind one of her ears. "Right Clavier?" She asked, turning to face him, face straight. The man nodded, agreeing with her completely, he looked at Lilly, studying her for the first time since he'd been there, his eyes became dark but then lightened again. "Of course."

Lilly smiled at her little girl as she smiled widely and then kissed Clavier's cheek. "Aw, she's really enjoying your company, Clavier...If she starts bothering you guys, you can put her in my room or in the Helm," she informed them, kissing her baby girl before going to find the next spot to mop. Melody waved at her mommy and then hugged Clavier tightly around the neck. She just loved him. "My dad..." she frowned. "He mean."
Gil set the direction and had his first mate come up and steer for awhile now. He walked around to see what everyone was up to, going from group to group until he finally came by the new pirates. "How is everything going?" he asked. Melody waved at Gil, laughing. He hesitantly waved back at her.

He blinked, completely shocked from being kissed on the cheek. Clavier looked at the little girl, giving her a questioning look as she spoke about her father. "I wouldn't say that right to his face." He warned and stroked her hair slowly, he had already gotten used to her.
Aveline glared at Gil, she had been thinking over Melody's birth and really was disgusted by it. "Everythings going perfectly well. Ship shape, Captain." The woman practically hissed, if it were possible her brown eyes went black in her anger and suddenly a loud boom of thunder resounded through out the sky. Clavier jumped in shock as did Aveline, surprised by what she had done. "It's not even cloudy outside." The man commented and gave Aveline a pointed look, her eyes went light again and she looked up at the sky, pretending to be confused about it too. She spun on her heel and quickly walked away to go and work on something else.

"He no like me, but like ma!" she told him, even though Gil was right there. Gil ignored her, used the the same comments from Bryce. Though Bryce hated him, and Melody tolerated. He looked up at the sky as it boomed and narrowed his eyes in pure anger at Aveline. He stalked after her when she walked away, catching up with her quickly. She was so not getting away with that! He yanked her towards him and turned her around. "You will treat me with respect, and for the record, I may be disgusting, but I'm not nearly as bad as most of the others here. Don't ever give me that look again."

((Sorry, my family can't do anything by themselves))
"Melody!" He growled softly, shaking his head and sighing heavily, he combed one of his hands back through his silver hair slowly. "You have to be a good girl for your dad, he helped to create you." Clavier explained after Gil had chased after Aveline to get angry with her. He sighed to himself yet again, the captain was just wasting his time.
Aveline looked up at him, a sharp tint to her gaze, she clearly didn't care when orders he gave her. "I apologize, Captain. But i'll give you any sorts of look I want to, but to make you happy i'll try to keep the opinions to myself." She pulled herself roughly away from him, her eyes were fierce and deep with pure disgust for what he had done.

((rofl, it's okay))
Melody made a pouty face and looked at him, eyes big and sad. "He did? Ma said storky came by, and left gift!" she said, looking close to tears. She rubbed her eyes and looked very sad still.
Gil twitched angrily for a moment, and then tapped his foot ten times, and took one step back. He licked his lips then nodded finally. "Compromise accepted. Give me nasty looks but keep your opinions to yourself in my presence." He agreed, bowed, and then turned and nearly ran into Lilly. He met her eyes, and she crossed her arms. He did the twitchy thing again and said, "Don't give me those looks too." She held her ground. "...Kitchen. Now." He ordered and rushed past. Lilly watched him go, shaking her head. "I've known him since I was five," she muttered and went past Aveline to get to the kitchen.

((Night))
He could've smacked himself, but he refrained. "Well, that was a part of it too. You see, your mommy and your daddy sent mail to the stork and he brought you nine months later. So, he was a part of it too." Clavier tried to explain to her.
So when he's annoyed he taps his foot ten times? Maybe when he's thinking things over... Aveline thought, watching him leave. Her eyes became soft as she looked at Lilly, "Since you were five? I've only known him for a day and he seemed intolerable." She was frowning. "I don't have anything to do up here at the moment, do you need help in the kitchen?"

((night))
Melody scowled at him. "Still mean...Hey! Wanna pway with Bwycie!?" she asked, getting happy all over again. Bryce was not far away, watching worriedly. He liked but didn't trust Clavier.
"I'm probably peeling potatoes, but if you want to help with that and cut your thumbs, be my guest," she answered and started below deck to go help make breakfast lunch and dinner. She smiled to herself when she saw Melody having such a good time.

"Well, i'm trying to work, Melody. But if you want you and me and Bryce can play together later." Clavier replied and set the young girl on the ground. "I need two hands now, so you're going to have to go bother your brother." He explained to her so she wouldn't get upset.
Aveline showed Lilly her slender fingers, they had scars all over them and were slightly calloused. "I'm not worried about cutting my fingers up." She aid and followed Lilly below deck to go and peel potato's.

Melody made a sad face at first, but then it melted into indifference. This happened a lot. She trotted off after her brother, tugging on him to go play. Both children got neglected often- not because Lilly was a bad mother, but because she was always busy and no one wanted to play with the children.
Lilly smiled at Aveline and lead her into the kitchen. Sure enough- peeling vegetables. Lilly took a seat with her knife and handed one to Aveline. She started peeling at rapid speed, eyes downcast as she did so.

Aveline grabbed her knife and started to peel, she was quite quick to, she had done this a lot whe she was a child, her father had liked to give her something to do. "Are you angry with the Captain about what he did to you?" She questioned after a while, looking at Lilly but still peeling effieciently.

"What are you talking about?" Lilly asked, looking at her with confusion. "Cause he's done quite a few stupid things that have angered me, so you're going to have to be specific with what you've heard." Lilly smiled and waved at Tod as he entered. "Hey, Tod! Are you angry at the captain for what he's done to you?" Tod stared at her. "Be specific." he grunted and started work. Lilly smiled at him. "Me and Tod have been with Captain Gil for 14 years...So yeah..."

"For getting you pregnant and than ignoring your child." Aveline responded, eyes snapping to Tod and then down to the vegetable she was peeling. She could tell her and Gil were going to have many 'differences in opinions' as she liked to put it. But she had said that she would be a good girl and try to keep her thoughts to herself. "I know you like him, i'm just curious."

"I get that question a lot," she mumbled. "I didn't mind the pregnancy...I'd had Bryce already so, it was a huge ordeal..." Lilly was silent, frowning sadly. "I do wish he'd take care of Melody like she was his daughter...I don't want her...to be in this life, a slave," she murmured, getting ridiculously depressed. "I worry about that everyday. When will be the day that...she gets...Ow." She'd knicked herself. She put her blade down and sucked on it. "Bryce is getting closer to that age too..." Tod looked over at Lilly and sighed softly but sadly.

Aveline nodded slightly, thinking about it. "You're in a very tough spot right now...," She trailed off, setting down a peeled vegetable and picking up another, "and you can't give your children up, I wouldn't, even if I was in your situation." Her eyebrows were raised, not in question, more in formulation. "I'm making you upset. I apologize." Her voice was lacking of much emotion, but it was clear she was sincere in her apology. "If you ever need any help and i'm not busy on deck, just tell me."
