The Pirate and The Merhog

Jules and Isabella's Talk

Meanwhile back on the surface...

"I'm surprised the King and Queen of the Sol Kingdom took the Atlantician treasures and gave us what we needed for homes and Charles' business and engineering." said Jules. "It seems like everything is going very well." Aleena said with a smile on her face. "We still have a long way to go. Our new homes won't be built overnight. We have much work to do." Charles told the couple. "True. But we now have the needed manpower to get the construction work started. How big should our new house be, Aleena?" Jules asked Aleena. "I think we're gonna need a big house because who knows how many kids we'll have in the future, I just hope it isn't triplets." said Aleena. "What's wrong with having three kids? It'd be a full family and who knows? You may one day who grandkids to have." said Jules.

"I guess you have a point, Jules. But I gotta warn you that triplets are a lot more difficult to manage." Aleena warned Jules. "Okay? Were you a lot for your folks to handle? You sound like you talk from personal experience." Jules asked Aleena. "Funny. I'll have you know I was very well behaved. My father never spoiled any of us growing up. He wanted us to be exemplary to others in the kingdom." Aleena snorted. "That explains everything." Jules said while mocking Aleena.

"Really, Jules?" said Aleena. "I'm just messing with you." Jules said to Aleena as he chuckled a bit. "Charles, how much of a handful was Jules for you back then?" Aleena asked Charles. Charles shrugged and replied. "I can't say much to anything changed." Charles said while looking at Jules. "Hey!" shouted Jules. Aleena started laughing at Charles' comment. "I'm just messing you." said Charles. "Yeah right." Jules said in sarcasm. "I'm sure Jules was adorable when he was little." said Aleena. "Oh he was and Jules was a little fuzzy ball as a baby." Charles told Aleena as he chuckled a bit. "Charles!" Jules shouted in embarrassment.

Later that day...

Isabella was walking through town looking for Charles. She had in mind to give him the instrument he had wanted to study and look into to figure out how it works. Whole walking she caught sight of Arthur walking up ahead of her. Isabella accidentally dropped the instrument when she saw Arthur. "Why do I keep dropping things more often?!" Isabella said while she was annoyed that she's becoming more clumsy recently.

Isabella quickly picked the instrument and followed at Arthur in hopes that would lead her to Charles. Arthur continued on his way to the outer section of the business area to a location that was clearly more for the higher class nobles with ties to the Sol Kingdom's royal family. "I'm gonna feel like an idiot when someone actually knows how this thing even works because I'm not a musician and I also can't play instruments." Isabella said to herself.

Isabella looked up to see that Arthur was gone. "Crap! I got distracted and lost sight of where he went!" shouted Isabella. "Why are you following me?" said a voice behind Isabella. Isabella was startled when she saw Arthur standing behind her. "What? I didn't expect to see you!" cried Isabella.

"I also need to give this instrument to Charles because I don't even know how this thing even works and also because he wanted to study it." Isabella said while explaining to Arthur but she accidentally dropped the harp again as she quickly picked it up again. Arthur immediately recognized the lost instrument, but kept his cool as he asked. "Where did you find that?" the male Mongoose asked the female Mongoose. "During one of my excursions on some cove with my crew mates three years ago. I thought it was very pretty and I decided to keep it. I was never able to get it to work. It also was engraved with the name Mina and I was thinking about naming my daughter Mina if that's even going to happen." said Isabella.

"May I see it?" Arthur asked Isabella. Isabella handed the instrument to Arthur who carefully examined it and found that it was still fully intact. 'This once belonged to one of the musicians who was there when Blackbeard attacked the cove and kidnapped our queen years ago.' Arthur said to himself.
