Have you ever remembered that one scenario in the second Chronicles of Narnia film? It is the moment where the Pevensies finally met Prince Caspian and were heading towards Aslan's How, wherein Trufflehunter had asked Trumpkin about what's the siblings like and the dwarf only answered that they're stubborn as mules in the morning.

Why would I mention that? It's because the quartet- rather the quintet -had enough time to mumble grumpily when Silver had woke them up first thing in the morning; really one to be also called as stubborn as mules in the morning. And it took a minute for the cyborg to fully convince the teens to get out of their hammocks as they had stayed late at night because of their music jamming until Mr. Arrow had to come to the galley to order the crew to just go to sleep.

Briar gets off first, being one to shove the blanket out of her face as it covers her whole body. Jim followed after, falling from his hammock and slowly wearing his boot with an annoyed frown. Magnus comes next, clinging the guitar on his chest and woke up disoriented at why did he have the instrument with him on his sleep. Nolan's eyes fluttered open, being thrown with Briar's pillow by Silver for he slept like dead despite of the cyborg's attempt to wake him up by shaking; Nolan squinted his eye, mumbling something like "Man, I was about to dream about Freesia but- oh well."

Amaia, fortunately, was woken up by Briar; gently shaking while mumbling. "Lee Yongbok's here." which immediately do the trick as her eyes shoot open and sat up from her hammock a bit disoriented, looking around.

And time had passed for them as they found themselves eating their breakfast. The five teens were in the same table, eyes still droopy and still tempting to shut. Their spoons clanged against the bowl, Nolan lazily taking spoonfuls of the stew and put it in his mouth rather messily. Briar, through half lidded eyes, took a glance at Nolan's state and inwardly rolled her eyes. She took a tissue and harshly wiped some stew at the corner of his mouth, catching the boy of guard.

"You eat like you're born yesterday."

"Thanks, momma." Nolan grumbled sarcastically, taking the tissue off her hand to wipe his mouth on his own. "You should stop acting as if you're the oldest."

"Bitch, I am the eldest." Briar deadpanned, letting her spoon drop at the bowl. "And as the eldest, I am tasked to watch over the three of you..." She paused, taking a brief glance at Jim who's playing with his food while his elbows rested on the table to support his head. "... and Jim."

Magnus were on sight, returning to the table looking grumpier than since morning. He harshly sat, with his bowl slamming to the table that immediately woke Amaia from her little trance. Jim cocked an eyebrow at the sudden outburst and asked. "What's wrong?"

Magnus scoffed, running a hand through his hair frustratingly while he wore a fake smile on his face. "Just imagine this." He started, his elbows propping against the table and faced his palm as if telling a story. "A peaceful day to start and you came to the kitchen counter to have your seconds; and then this man."

Briar raised her head up, munching her food and finally giving the boy an attention at his story as he continued. "Looks at me straight on my fuqing eye-" Magnus sneered, widening his eyes while his index and middle finger pointed at it. "- and said that we'll be peeling off bARNACLES! UNDER THE SHIP!" Magnus scoffed, slightly slumping at his seat as Amaia just observed him boringly. "If that wasn't the worse thing I've heard since we're here then I don't know what."

The rest if the teens groan, Jim too tured to participate some work this early in the morning and had noticed Briar's jaw clenched; must've felt the same as him. The wolfcut haired looked at the floor for a brief second, poking the insides of her cheek. "This is going to be bad for me."
