"Well, gang!" Celeste started. "We've got a long trip ahead of us. Maybe two days. So try and busy yourself and don't break anything."
"No promises!" Lyra called as she walked below the deck with a sleeping bag.
Celeste quietly rolled her eyes and began to head down herself.
"I'll keep first watch," Val offered.
"I'm pretty good with boats," she grinned.
"I'll take over in a few hours," Atlan patted her shoulder and left with Zeke below deck.
"Hey, Cel?" Lyra hung upside down in a hammock above Celeste's.
"Mm?" Celeste grumbled.
"Why doesn't Atlan have horns?"
"You know he doesn't like to talk about that, Lyra. Go to bed - we've got a long day of travel tomorrow," Celeste turned on her side away from the redhead.
Lyra switched sides.
"Celeste, please!"
"Lyra, sleep,"
She rolled her eyes and sat back up on her higher hammock.
"Well what about you?" Lyra peeked under again.
"Huh?" the avian woman actually sat up this time.
"What's your story? I've known you for two years but you never told me,"
"I have three sisters, I'm the oldest, a younger brother and the other brother is the oldest out of all of us."
"What are their names?" questioned Lyra.
"In order?"
"Why not?"
Celeste sighed "Ingram, me, Luna, Cassandra, Iris and Corbett."
"How do you remember all that?" chuckled Lyra.
"Ingram, Luna and I pretty much raised the other three,"
"Is that why you're so motherly and stuff?"
"Who told you that?" Celeste looked up at her.
"Zeke," Lyra grinned.
"Of course," a small smirk was plastered on her face.
The two sat in silence for a few moments until they heard Atlan and Zeke begin to stir in their hammocks.
"Cel?" the demon mumbled.
Celeste smiled softly "Hey, cuddle bug..."
Atlan plopped himself on Celeste's hammock - almost immediately falling asleep once he was latching onto the avian in a koala-like way. Celeste just smiled and fell back asleep, leaving Zeke and Lyra to themselves.
"What were you two doing up?" Zeke asked to start conversation.
"Eh, just talking,"
Zeke nodded "Any new gossip?"
"No..." Lyra said disappointedly.
Zeke hummed and returned to his top hammock.
"Night, Zee."
"Night, ginger."
"Fuck off..."
