"Your wounds are not as bad as you think..." Raiku muttered angrily. He had not intended for the boy to fall off the cliff, a stupid mistake. Raiku pulled a few long bandages from within his cloak, and wrapped them around the wounds that bled the most overnight. The minor scratches and bruises could be healed with his magic. "Sleep... we will continue in the morning."

"I don't want to continue this! I want to go back," he argued as his wounds were being wrapped. The boy hised and made ouch-like noises as the minor scrapes were brushed.

"You want to go back? Go back to what? There is nothing for you back there! But here, here there is adventure!" Raiku began walking backward, "Just wait until dawn, you will change your mind. For now, get some rest."

"..." Aramil stared at his bandages as Raiku walked away. "Back there I had friends..." he whispered to himself. He laid flat on the ground, staring up at the sky. The little elf wondered if they even missed him, or noticed if he had left... Such thoughts lay heavy on the mind, and soon Aramil's emerald eyes began to slowly droop and close. He fell into a soft sleep.

"Come on, come on!" Raiku commanded to Aramil. "We are going to miss it!" He extended his hand to the wee elf. "Over there, between those two hills, you see?" He said, pointing with his free hand to the ocean. "I smell that familiar ocean scent!" Raiku seemed happy on this day. To anyone who knew him, that would be rather frightening.

He tried to swat the strange noise away, rolling over in his sleep and covering his ears and eyes with his arms. "Mermm..." he groaned groggily.

"No? No pirate adventure?"

"..huh?" Aramil asked. The question piqued his interest just enough to get him to sit up and blink his eyes a bit. "Pirates..?"

"Yes, the ship waits below, the other side of that hill. If we want to make it there in time, we have to leave now."

"..Friends and family can wait a few more days... How often do you get to go on a pirate adventure?"thought Aramil with a grin. He got up, and realized he was already dressed to go. He should have brought a new change of clothes.. but then again he didn't expect to be going anywhere. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad being away from Dark and everyone for a while.. he didn't have to do anything. No baths, no work, nobody combing his hair, no one telling him what to do... He could live like this. At least.. for a while. The little elf hopped over to Raiku, his orange tiger tail swishing back and forth with eager readiness.

"Alright, let's go."
After several hours of traveling around the hillside, they came across a busy port town. Whistles, gun fire, yelling, all the sounds associated with pirate life. Raiku walked about, nodding at several people as they walked by. A lot of them actually threw Aramil some strange looks, it is not everyday that Raiku brought along a child.

"This..place looks a little-" Suddenly a chair flew out a window behind them into the street. "Scary..." Aramil remarked, sticking close to Raiku. Everything here was fighting and dirty things. Women wore weird colorful clothing all around, and talked to drunken sailors... Men sat around drinking something foul smelling out of a bottle, and there was violence and rowdy behaviour going on everywhere. ((This must be Tortuga... hehe ))

(Yeah, kinda fits the description eh?)
Raiku made sure Aramil was always within a few feet of him at all times, though it DID appear that he didnt care. Walking through several different drunken crowds he finally made his way to the docks. The Captain of the ship stood on the deck, Raiku waved.

Aramil resisted the urge to go off wandering into the exciting and dangerous town. He wasn't sure if he could have gotten away with it anyway. Even though he was walking behind Raiku, he had this feeling that Raiku was watching him... The elf boy sure felt out of place here... Most of these men were humans, dwarves, and even men with orcish blood. A little elf boy in girl's clothing didn't exactly portray the epoch of toughness. Aramil figured he'd have to get new clothing and mimic some of the other pirates to learn how to be tough. With all these thoughts going through his head, he was sort of in his own little world of thoughts while Raiku waved to the captain, gazing off to sea with an eager grin.

The captain waved back with a light flick of her slender hand. She did not want to look like a fool while her crew was watching. There was a bit of pride in being pompous. One had to keep an image. As Raiku got closer, she noticed that he had a little person with him. She squinted her caramel-brown eyes to get a better look. She thought it was a girl at first, but then she realized that it was, in fact, a boy in female's clothing. What on earth was Raiku doing with a future drag queen in tow?
