Thatcher groaned as the tiny SC pointed in the very opposite direction of their voyage. The Spacewaters were NOT ones to mess with and that direction would very much get them all killed, so he pushed down the hand they had cast out down and announced to ignore all orders from the blind SC. Lotus, The said Blind SC, gasped in offense.

"Aye! I'm not of unuse! Ya' cant treat me like the dirt under Yer boot!" Thatcher groaned. "Go mess up Hooks' plans or something! You could get us killed with that tiny hand of yers." Lotus huffed and stumbled on their words before they yelled in frustration and ran off. Thatcher didn't even notice they were missing until he gave duties to is second of command and he noticed there was no Lotus to be seen.

He sighed and jumped from the sterncastle's deck to the Quaterdeck, walking towards the captain quarters in anger, he was tired of this kids dramatics. He almost opened the door before he heard soft cries. he paused only for a moment then opened the door gently. Lotus Jolted and looked in the direction of Thatcher. "Who goes!?" Thatcher spoke "Tacks." Lotus glared. "Go away Thatcher." Thatcher softly sighed, closing the door. "Tell me what's wrong.

"Why should I, Aye?? All y' do is dismiss my feelin's and get annoyed!" Thatcher walked up to them, sitting down. "Well this is my quarters, just tell me whats wrong and I'll leave you alone."

There was a pause

Thatcher about gave up before he heard a meek "do you think I'm weak?" Thatcher paused. "what?" Lotus cleared their throat "Do y' think I'm weak just because I'm blind? Y' seem like ya do. I haven't even done anythin'" Thatcher paused, looking for the right words. "No, I believe you a strong young Shadow, but the way you were pointing was no place we Shadows should ever Travel. We can find a rank for you when you are not 13, in the meantime, talk with Hooks. I dont want injured kids."

Lotus was only silent, mumbling: "This is why I like Scylla better" before he walked out of the CQ and to the mates quarters presummably. Thatcher sighed before sitting on the bed, undisturbed before Scylla came into the room. "Thatcher." "Scylla." "I see you were trying to find a rank for Lotus." "I was. I can't think of anything." "Why not ask them to help with announcing your orders? Your voice is already weak compared to most."

Thatcher thought for a moment. "...yeah. That would work. Can you go tell them?" Scylla nodded, her cloak glistening in the daylight as she left the captains quarters and into the Mates quarters, no words were heard in her voice until she walked over to confirm the plan and sat next to him.

"Children are weird creatures."

"tell me about it."

Thatcher sighed before lying in his bed, Scylla soon following and wrapping her arm around his chest. "well, Goodnight Thatch." Thatcher only nodded as Scylla flicked off the lamp. Thatcher stared at the ceiling. Why was this kid so confusing? Why couldn't they just be easy to read or something. This little person was gonna give him a aneurism. He didn't understand why they immediately though that he thought they couldn't do anything right without eyesight. That was wrong! they could thrive in an environment like this if he tried hard enough.

Scylla sighed. "Rest, bug. I'm tired and I know you are too." THatcher sighed. he wished she wasnt always right. He just looked over to his lover, hearing her soft breathing and feeling her warm touch. he smiled before yawning and closing his eyes.

She was way better than Kore
