(Yessss XD)
Percival blushed and looked down at his feet. If it had been anyone else, Percival wouldn't have cared who let who into their room. But this was Marco. Percival only needed to know everything about those he cared about--and when Marco let someone into his room, Percival wanted to know why. "Maybe he's depressed because his Resistance friends don't want him to join their tea time?" A smirk curled his lips at the thought of the Resistance having tea time.
He stretched his arms up and let out a noise of satisfaction. "I'm going to go gather Kida. Are you going to check to make sure that ass is behaving himself?

"I don't want to see him anymore than I have to, but I should just to see if he hasn't caused any problems yet. And might as well check on the rest of them." With that said, the captain made his way down the narrow halls of the ship, towards the room he had given to Edmund and Cyril. And, begrudgingly, Claus. If only the ship was big enough for him to be able to put Claus in another room. But Marco flew a pirate ship that also served as a small cargo ship. It was no luxurious passenger ship where much of the crew shared a living space. It would be too inconvenient to steal a private passenger ship. He had considered it before.
Anyway, if Cloudy wants, maybe they reached the room shortly thereafter.

The door to the room was wide open. Children's laughter spilled from the door, running out into the room. Peering into the room, someone would be able to see the tough gunman on the ground, being held down by two children. Kida and laughed as he and Xan continued to pile blankets and pillows over Edmund, to keep him "trapped".
Edmund suddenly turned and grabbed Kida, pulling him towards him. A surprised shout left Kida and he tried to pull himself away from Edmund, a bright smile on his face.
"Noo!" Xan cried, and she basically sat on Edmund's head. Just in time, too, because Edmund started smiling.
Kida broke free and then grabbed one of the blankets. "Quick, Xan!" The two clumsily covered Edmund completely in all of the blankets. "Now sit on him!"
The two sat on Edmund's form, locking him beneath the blankets. "You two are going to suffocate me," Edmund said, but slight laughter tinged his tone.
Kida giggled and he shifted into his seal form, rolling around on the blankets. Xan let out a squeal of happiness and stumbled over to Kida, wrapping her arms around him and pushing her face into his soft fur. "Puppy!" Xan cried. Poor Edmund. He was still trapped under the blankets, but he could probably fall asleep how he was anyways.

The captain, arriving upon the scene, said nothing and instead watched the children quietly, leaning against the door frame. He would have smiled, but he couldn't find the will to do so. Once upon a time, Marco played games like that.
Meanwhile, if there were bunks in the room, Cyril laid himself on the top. He was sleeping soundly, facing the door. It was a blessing to be able to have someone else helping him look after Xan, and even greater so if there was another child for her to play with. So, for just a moment, Cyril was able to push his duties as a father on others and succumbed to his exhaustion. For maximum cuteness, maybe one of Cyril's large wings were draped over the side of the bed. It had been a painfully long time since he had been able to stretch them.
And Claus was in the room too. Like Cyril, he was sleeping as well, but on a bed that hugged the wall. Unlike Cyril, Claus slept facing the wall, hugging his precious partner close to his chest.
Having glanced around the room, it was then that Marco decided to speak. He folded his arms across his chest as he said, "Kida, when I said watch them. Not play games." But Marco was only teasing.

Percival grinned beside Marco, watching the seal squirm and then grow into a little boy, who held Xan. At first he looked guilty, and then he smiled brightly. "I am watching them. See? Claus is in time-out, and Cyril is sleeping." He pointed up to Cyril's wing, half tempted to pet it.
Edmund emerged from all the blankets, trying not to look embarrassed as he unruffled his clothes and fixed his hair.
"Wait!" Kida cried. "If Percival is here, that means Kyru--did you guys f-"
"Shh!" Percival interrupted, his brows raising. A sigh left him and he shook his head. "Go find your brother, he's waiting for you in (Percy's room? on the deck?)."
"Play again?" Xan whimpered, looking up at Kida with big eyes.
Kida paused and looked down at Xan, giving her a big hug. "I promise I will play with you again! I will bring my brother, so we can play together."
"Count me out on that," Edmund murmured, crossing his arms and frowning.
A giggle left Kida, "Nope! Edmund too!" He let go of Xan and ran towards the door. "I quit my job, Marry!" He then ran out to find his brother.

Marco snorted as he watched Kida run off before glancing back in the room at Edmund. "I hope he wasn't too much trouble. And since you lost your watchman, I can always leave Percy here if you want to step out and stretch your legs. Maybe take her too," he said, nodding to Xan. "I also wanted to let you know that we're just about ready to head out again, so we'll reach Letha soon." Marco lifted a brow as curiosity filled him for a moment. "Are you sure that's where you want to be dropped off? With the kid you're traveling with, you sure that's a good idea?"

Edmund shook his head at Marco's first claim worry, and then glanced over at Percival. Watchman? They didn't necessarily need one. Before he could answer, Marco brought up another point that caught Edmund's interest. He looked up at Cyril for a moment before glancing back at Marco. "Letha's not a place he should go. I didn't think we had a choice. But, I would hate to continue to use you like this. I can get us on a ship from Letha to another land easy, but the problem is if... there are some looking for him." He then nodded towards Claus. "I'll keep an eye on him. I think we're good for staying in here for a bit. I might try to get Xan to take a nap."

The captain could only nod in response to Edmund's words. "If that's your plan, then I can't stop you. But if you decide otherwise, I'm sure we'll be able to take you to another land. This ship isn't really used for anything other than transporting goods nowadays, so it's not like you'd be getting in the way." He shrugged his shoulders. "It's up to you though. All I ask is that you take that waste of space," he was referring to Claus, "with you." He took a step back, out of the room. "I'll send someone down to get you when dinner's ready."

Edmund paused for a moment and then decided he might as well just warn the captain then and there. "To be completely honest with you, we'll probably want to stay for a while longer. Thank you, though." He glanced over at Claus and raised a brow, deciding it was best not to respond to Marco on that. Percival stepped out of the room when Marco had and smoothly closed the door.
Percival looked over at Marco and gave him a bright smile. "That was adorable. As in, the kids. Not the shorty. I think I should get back to work now, Captain... unless you have something else for me to do."

"No, head on out, Percy. I'll probably see more of your gay ass later anyway. I'm sure I'll see you later." And with that, Marco dismissed himself. He wanted to hide in his room for a little while, but that wasn't an option, obviously. Oh, but if he looked hard enough, he was sure there was a group of starving orphans around that needed his help as well. His ship might as well have been a flying charity center. And he knew that. And every other pirate did too. Gods, what a mess.
(What now)
