“Capt’n, is all well?” Rune leaned on the portside railing as he watched Gin and Torin run up the gangplank. He was uncertain what to think with their return, not having expected their arrival so soon. Both men looked on the verge of laughter, but…

“A typical night for a pirate. Any luck gathering supplies?”

“Managed to lift a few, but not enough—I was uncomfortable leaving Lemon and Jag without protection for long. In need we will be of stopping again, hopefully during a time when

such places are open for business. What of crew, any luck?”

“Three new members, though not sure ye can call young Gator new.”

“Gator…Boots?”

“Aye. Rig left him. I know not what goes on in that man’s head. Red needs have a sit down

with him.”

“Nae, Red needs pound some sense into his lad.” Rune straightened, turned his attention to

Torin. “Ye look flushed, cousin. Still enjoying yer adventure on the sea?”

“I knew not that fighting was close to breathing for pirates.”

Rune laughed. “Oh aye.”

“I think I need rest.” Torin brushed a kiss over the corner of Gin’s mouth when concern

lined his face. “Worry not, I am well, pirate. ‘Tis not often I drink and so the ale begins to swim

in my head.”

“I will join ye soon—mayhap after we are underway…if the fog lifts. As ‘tis, I desire not to

stay tied to these shores with the House of Skyn in attendance.”

Rune narrowed his eyes at Gin after Torin disappeared behind the door of the captain’s

quarters. “A fight broke out? And I was not there?”

“Ye volunteered for boatwatch and supply gathering, Master Stone. Time ye wished to

spend with Lemon and yer lad.” Gin stared at his cabin door, wishing to follow, but there was

still much to do before time allowed him some privacy with Torin.

“Nae scratch do I see upon ye, mayhap a need I have to change that.”

“There was a fight?” Lemon came to stand next to Rune, concern etched on her face. She

walked over to Gin searching for injury.

“All is well, Mistress Drop.” Gin offered a roguish twist of his lips, his teeth flashing. Rune went still. “Where is my mother?”

“In the midst of kicking a downed Rhino Skyn she was when I made mention ‘twas time to

leave. She should return soon.”

With a growl Rune started down the gangplank, hands fisted and ready to rip the head off

any pirate who thought to attack his mother, but instead he ran into his mother as she was

sauntering up, a satisfied glow surrounding her. “Ma!”

“Did ye think to rescue me, son?” Jasper laughed and patted Rune’s cheek. “Certain I am ye

would not dare think me too old to fight.”

“Nae, I…” Rune fidgeted, his feet shuffling as he stood before his mother. “’Twas Rhino

Skyn, Gin said. That bastard goes naewhere without his brother and…”

“Now, my lad, all is well. Rhino was dealt with and Gin took fine care of Snake, bashed his

head into the table a multiple of times. Old yullies both men are and not worth the worry.” She

motioned to the man behind her. “Ye recall Master Drum, aye? Found him I did reading legal

works.
