Because, you know, I'm a pirate

Had it really been weeks since he'd seen Peggy? He'd seen her around after that fateful, awkward day at the Battlefield. She'd been pretty damn evasive after that day, though he couldn't figure out why - and god, had he wanted to gossip with her about what they'd learned there about Shaye and Rhyme - but her avoiding him had turned into her being completely absent altogether. He'd been preoccupied with his own things, after his conversation with Shaye about being promoted, and then all at once it hit him that she was actually hiding. Maybe not from him, but from something, though he wasn't ready to worry since her scent was still here and there around the packlands. But once he heard Rhyme's call for her, he couldn't resist heading toward it. At this point he was less so being nosy and mostly just worried for her. Disappearing wasn't like her, at least not disappearing from him. He was torn between being worried and vaguely annoyed with his cousin for evading him for so long, and he wasn't sure what to expect when he finally saw her. Surely she had a good excuse that would make him feel like an ass for being annoyed, right? He never expected to see what he did when he finally showed up to the small group that had gathered. Rhyme was there, and so was Peggy, but so were two other very weird looking strangers. As he drew closer, he was distracted by the oversized teeth that the darker male possessed, but his attention was captured more quickly by the outfit of the other one. His attention strayed a moment too long before it fell to Peggy. It took a long moment and a few slow, confused blinks before he realized his eyes weren't deceiving him. She was.. pregnant? Extremely pregnant, and there was no mistaking it. Uh... If he could tell anything it was that the tension between the group was thick and Peggy didn't look like herself at all. Her posture was slouched and she looked downright miserable. He made an effort to catch her eye as he drew closer, clearing his throat to get her attention, and giving her a look that said: What the fuck happened? He didn't want to be accusing or unkind to his cousin; she was by far his closest friend and companion, but he was utterly bewildered and wondered if he ought to be kicking himself for not seeking her out sooner, instead of being stubborn about it. "Who.. what..." He mumbled as he pulled closer to her, his voice barely audible and his words faltering, hardly able to even formulate a proper question. |
