Perhaps I am a corsair

There was not much that could dim the light that shone upon his sister. For Scald, as crummy and angsty as he was on the outside, there was a soft spot for his siblings buried deep on the inside. Maybe not for the new bunch that was about to show up, but when it came to Deluge and Flurry (Rexx could die for all he fucking cared not really, but we aren't talking about that right now), his sisters were now his everything. Even if he did understand his father's decisions and how it all made sense, he still couldn't scratch that feeling that maybe his father didn't really see anything in him.

These thoughts trailed about in his tiny brain as he followed Deluge back toward home. What surprised him was when she made a turn for Time's Cavern. The all too familiar looming opening to the dark cave seemed to settle his anxiousness. Home. Their real home. He couldn't even hide the smile on his dark lips as they approached the gangplank. Its creaky noises under their weight were normal, were expected. Scald inhaled deeply the scent of old wood and spiced rum.

Following Deluge below deck where the light from the crystallized walls barely showed, he let her dig through the chests. Not quite sure what she was looking for, his eyes widened slightly when she exclaimed out loud. His own smile grew as she handed him a nearly full bottle and his dazzling feathered boa scarf that he too had once swam in as a pup that now gracefully hung off his shoulders. Sitting back on his bony bottom, he took a full and deep swig as Deluge spoke outright. Scald nearly spat out his drink as he glanced over to her, blinking slowly as he registered what she had just asked.

"Yer don' even gotta ask, Loogie," Scald said to her affectionately as he took one more swig from his bottle before holding it out to her so they could clink them together in cheers. "I miss it too. Don' wan' none of this raider business dad's been after," he added with a huff from his nostrils and a wrinkle of his face.
