Not like he was a good dueler or anythin'. He always dueled like a corpse.

"Avec Moi" The words of her French lesson faded from her sight as she uttered the question, "Papa?" The room dissolves around her as she looks up into the face of the proud large man looming inside her mind. Far off, in another world someone shouts 'No." Aggy? She pulls away as if to run to her twin, but the big man reaches out to her. "Papa, you came back for us?" Aislain ran to him and he scooped her up into a tight embrace. "Aye wee one, my father sent me back." "Grandpa?" The thin lips twist into a half smile as he reaches into her face and pulls the long dark red curls away from her eyes, "You could say that wee one. There is unfinished business to be attended to." Aislain giggles, delighted by the attention. "I will help Papa. I am Queen of the Pirates, Aggy and me with Randy and Brian and everyone. We are here for you! Marme doesn't need me anymore, she and Da Badger are growing another little girl inside her belly." Aislain bites her lip as her voice drops into a whisper, "Can I tell you a secret Papa?" The dark blue eyes become indulgent as he gently rocks her, "Of course my wee one. You can tell Papa anything." The child tilts up her mouth to his ear, whispering as soft as a thought, "I named my sister 'Ugly-baby Go-away.' " Dark rich laughter surrounds them, "Wee one, that is dreadful. I am sure Marme and your new little sister will love you. Just as I do." The child giggles, pleased by his laughter, "Am I the bestest prettiest daughter?" "You are my only daughter. Come to me wee one, I will always love you. You and Aggy are my dearest children. But I may need help with Aggy..." Eager to please the child gushes as she plays with his long black sleeve, "Aggy loves you Papa. Let me talk to him, I know he loves you we will be Pirates and help you get back our land from the mean old nasty Garrison Commander." "Aye wee one, and your Papa will always protect you." Adonai murmurs reassuringly into her ear and then releases her back to her body no longer in the nursery where Marme's blood stains the pink roses on the nursery carpet, but in her own room were she quickly packs and then crawls out the window leaving a note on her pillow.Marme and Da and Aggy,I love you. I love you very very much. I am going to Papa Adonai to be his bestest daughter. Do not worry, I have clean underwear and Bump. Please take care of my baby snails - Luth, Adeena, Ziandra, Kappie, Lola, and Alais. They need to eat every day.Tell Aggy to not play with my ship that Captain Morgan gave me. It's mine and I will be very cross if he sinks it. I love you. Do not worry, I have my cloak and Rainbow will take me to Papa.I love you,Grosses Bises,Aislain.

It had been a quiet day, which the commissioner had whiled away with a journey into town to look for some rare texts, and perhapsa present for Luthien. He had spent the afternoon wandering through shops, and was finally making his way back out of the market squares toward the stable when small blur entered his vision.He glanced down, there to see the young lad, Agravain, skidding to a halt at his feet. His breath was a bit laboured, but Iain could tell right away that it wasn't because he'd been running."My father! He's alive!"Iain nodded, with a slightly perplexed expression. "So I'd heard. I'm sure you're excited.""I don't want to go back to him, sir. He scares me."At that, Iain knotted his brow. "I see... and your mother, then?""Mama is very happy with her new husband...""But?" Something in the child's voice made Iain think that there was more to Agravain's worry than just the thought of his father's reappearance.""But nothing, sir... she just wants us to be safe and secure."Iain nodded thoughtfully for a moment. For a moment, he had thought that perhaps Agravain was caught in a vise, worried that he'd be forced to go back to his father, but this obviously wasn't the case. He bent down, speaking quietly. "Well, then, I suppose we'll just have to see to it that you get to stay with your mother."Agravain smiled widely at that, and to Iain's surprise, wrapped his small arms around his huge legs in a hug. "Thank you, sir."Iain reached down and ruffled the boy's hair. "If you or your mother need anything, you can always contact Luthien or I, and we'll be happy to help."Agravain backed away, looking up with a bright smile. "I will, sir. Thank you again." And with that he scampered away.Iain's walk to the stable, and the long ride back to Tynsdale, were occupied by thoughts of just what exactly he would do if his help was, indeed, requested...

::he stood against a post of the Duel of Swords building, quietly watching Iain and the little one, he shook his head and mummbled:: If the boy had any sense...

::he shrugs and walked away, glancing to Iain as he went, off to his brothers in Retribution::

::he grin and said quite loud, to the gaping mouth of Potion and Buffy as he passed::

There is much to plan and to do this eve, as there will be for many more.
