WHO The Huntress crew (& YOU?)
BROADCAST Non.
ACTION SS Huntress
WHEN May 24th and onward

[ Welcome to your regularly scheduled insanity, Elize! The ship is nice and rather upgraded, not to mention Shirley's valiant efforts to make it a bit more homey. With two demons, a fish-person prophet of the ocean, a former Templar and... Isabela, the crew is rather lively but somehow hasn't torn itself apart. Yet.

With all the things going on this month, a casino with great prizes and a magical forest, there's plenty of buzz and movement. But what is everyone up to during the downtime? ]

[ Totally not noticing anything strange about where he's standing. Nope. She just thinks his room has mostly remained the same as before.

She places her hands on her lap, smiling. ]

I... requested a transfer. I'm part of the Huntress now!

[serves]

[... what? Cullen looks absolutely dumbstruck for a moment. Being on the same ship is certainly something he considered, but her taking the initiative--she wants to be around him. It warms his heart, and when Cullen sits next to her, he's the one that hugs her, one arm around her shoulders.

His lips press against her hair.]

And here I was going to surprise you.

[He nods to the tea set on his desk.]

[princessia]

[ Transferring ships is a thought she considered for a long while, especially with how quick she saw him as a parent figure. More and more she really wishes for him to be her real father. She can't admit it out loud, despite how obvious it might look to others...

Setting her eyes on the tea set, she lets out a barely audible gasp of surprise. It may not be Teepo, but she's absolutely thrilled to receive a present nonetheless. She looks about ready to hop off the cot to play pretend with the little tea set and inspect every tiny detail of it. Before she can do any of that though, she shifts in his arm, turning towards him to throw her arms around his neck for another tight hug. ]

Thank you so much! You're the best!

[serves]

[He long lost sight of any dream to become a father. After what he's experienced and done, how could he be a proper one? But it seems he's found himself a daughter in Elize, though he'd never presume to say it aloud. This is more than enough for him. Elize has his affections and protection for as long as he's able.

Cullen gives her a warm hug in return, arms securely around her tiny body.]

You're welcome. It's the least I can do.

[princessia]

[ It takes her a moment to part from the embrace, smiling and hugging as tightly as her little arms could for a little longer before pulling back to look at him. ]

How did you get it? It must have been really expensive!

[ She's under the assumption it came from the high-end shops. She could barely afford a thing there without anyone pitching in with her. ]

[serves]

That's a secret.

[He grins and nods towards the set.]

Take a look.

[princessia]

Fine, then.

[ It's said with a smile. She'll let him keep his secrets! After all, she's far more excited to take a closer look at her tea set.

Slipping off the cot, she steps near the desk. She picks up one of the teacups, admiring and handling it with care as she turns it over. ]

[serves]

I suppose we'll have to test it out soon. Easier now that you're here, isn't it?

[princessia]

Yes, definitely.

[ And look at her go. She's already lifting up the teapot and playing pretend, feigning to pour tea in each of the little cups. ]

[serves]

[He's pleased with her reaction.]

... I suppose I should have picked up some tea, too.
