Chapter 3 - The Other Crew Members

"ELORA WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE!?" You howl.

As soon as she hears your voice, Elora stops in her tracks and so does the other two boys that had accompanied her. The three of them had halted so abruptly that they all managed to stumble into each other. You even heard the heels of their boots skid against the wood even from where you had stood. As soon as they see your sour expression, Elora yells at the top of her lungs: "SCATTER!" It was as if the very word she had spoken would save their lives, well they sure weren't wrong about that.

As the three of them feverishly look around the boat for a good hiding spot, you grabbed a hanging rope near the main mast and swung yourself onto the other ship. Landing roughly on Antonio's deck, you scanned the area around you in hope to spot Elora. Instead, you found one of the other lads that were playing with your sibling just moments ago. He was looking around frantically, still in search for a spot to hide, panic painted on his face. Stomping towards him, you growl, "young man, where is Elliot?" It was a masculine and general name you used to replace her given one. Only for the reason to add an extra layer to her disguise and reduce suspicion.

He jumps when he hears your sharp tone, screaming, he puts his hands up in defence; immediately assuming that you were going to hurt him. "Ve! I-I was just playing tag with my f-Fratello (brother) when Elliot wanted to join in! Please don't hurt me, anything but the face!"

You sigh in response, feeling pity towards him, you made an effort to lower your voice as you responded. "You don't have to worry about me hitting you at all, boy. I have no intentions of doing such a vulgar action to someone who is completely harmless." You cross your arms as he hesitantly lowers his hands. "Just tell me where Elliot is, and I'll let you and your brother be..."

Shivering in fear he obliges to your orders by pointing towards a few barrels sitting on the quarterdeck. You tiredly make your way towards the pile of barrels, and as soon as you touch one of the lids, Elora leaps out of it.

"I-I'm sorry (boy name)! I know you told me not to go on the other ships, but Feliciano and Lovino Vargas were so kind to me! They asked me if I wanted to play tag with them, a-and...well I couldn't say no!" You were glad she was aware of her situation and didn't let panic overwhelm her too much to forget to address you with your masculine signature.

"Feliciano Vargas hm?" You ask.

"That's me!" You turned to the high pitched voice and examined the boy. He had brown eyes and short brown locks, which was complemented with a strand of hair curling out on the left side of his head. Just like any other crewmate, He wore a simple white sleeve shirt stopping at the elbows, brown trousers, black boots, and a red sash which he tied around his waist. He was unarmed, and his pose and body language didn't give off threateningly; If anything he was doing the exact opposite. His previous shivering and defensive figure were now vulnerable and open. Even with a small push with your fingers would cause him to stumble from being so imbalanced.

You smile in response at his more cheery attitude, "Hello Feliciano." You stick your hand out for a handshake, "I'm Captain (Surname), but you can call me (boy name)."

Instead of a handshake, he greeted you with a very enthusiastic hug. Despite his small figure, the power in his embrace was bone crushing. "Ve~! You are much nicer when you are calm!" He excitedly announces the obvious with a sense of discovery.

You give out a soft chuckle, barely succeeding from the lack of air you were receiving. "S-so where is your brother?" Feliciano releases his grasp on you as you inhale the breath you were robbed of; rubbing your now sore neck in the meantime.
