"Grash! Get those breathers on the other prisoners!" Came a sudden shout as Milo came quickly to her cell, unlocking it and hurrying in before sticking something on her face that covered her mouth and nose. "Calm down and breath. This will let you breath under water" He said in a soothing voice, which was completely different from the tone he had given her earlier that day

[CrimsonMoon]

She squeaks and struggles in his grip," Ah-!" She squeaks and stares at him with wide eyes than feels her chest tighten with panic as the cold touches it than rises to her neck

[deepwallow]

Milo sees her panic and curses under his breath as he holds her tightly, smoothing out her hair as the water eventually rises above their heads. "It's ok... It's ok..." He assures her as they plunge under the water. Strangely enough, they don't float to the ceiling. Of course, Vienna's hair floats around a bit though

[CrimsonMoon]

Vienna presses her face ito his chest, struggling to calm her breathing.... This was so confusing,"... Why... Why is this happening?" She squeaks, her gaze flickering briefly to the opel cell door..

[deepwallow]

"Jones. The ship sinks underwater when we travel." Milo explains, letting to of her and exiting the cell, locking it again. "Don't worry though, it won't last for very long." He said just as Grash came from around the corner. He held a lantern out in front of him that shine through the murkiness of the water, throwing him in an even scarier light, light some horror from the depths on the sea. "You get them all?" Milo asked. Grash nodded and moved on

[CrimsonMoon]

Vienna suddenly wraps her arms around Milo tightly and hugs him... Just hugs him as tightly as she could

[deepwallow]

Milo blinks in surprise and whips his head around to face her, frowning before his face actually gave way to something like concern. "Hey dancer, you ok?" He asked, hesitantly putting a hand on her head

[CrimsonMoon]

"... A-and what are you?" She whispers, looking up qt him curiously

[deepwallow]

He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked. "A fish man of course! One of Davy Jones' sailors. Feared all over the seven seas!" He said with a laugh. "Water doesn't scare me."

[CrimsonMoon]

" If... You're a fish... Than of course you are not scared of water," She murmurs and pulls away from him, looking away

[deepwallow]

Milo only chuckled and shook his head. "Get some sleep , dancer . You'll eat once we resurface again for some fresh air." He said, making sure the cell was locked again before moving off

[CrimsonMoon]

" Wa-wait...!" She rushes to the bars and looks after him," What will happen to us??" She calls

" Ah... What a cute little meal," a fmailiar voice purrs, the long sword-like nose of the captain sticking out from behind a corner

[deepwallow]

Milo turned as he heard the familiar voice of Jones, raising an eyebrow. "Oi, Cap'n! Don't forget: you promised she was mine." He reminded Jones

[CrimsonMoon]

" You know that I'm horrible at keeping promises," he purrs, walking to her cell. Vienna moves to pull away but the Captain grabs her arm, his webbed talons digging ito her soft skin and leaving bruises,"... Good quality.."

[deepwallow]

"Captain..." Milo trails as the sudden heavy thuds announced Grash's arrival behind Jones. Grash was regarded as stupid by the other crew members, but only because he never spoke, and never seemed to reply. He would only follow out commands , so he was viewed as a stupid guard dog and now he stared at Jones unblinkingly, the lantern throwing his pitch black eyes in a mysterious and dangerous light.

[CrimsonMoon]

Jones stares back at Grash with his manical grin, the proceeding Mexican Standoff lasting for nearly a full minute before Vienna pulls away, wincing as Jones' talons leave bleeding bruises on her arms... The salt water causing the small scratches to burn like hell

" Be careful Grash, we don't want this pretty little thing to end up like the last prisoner whos blood you smelled," and with that, he disappears... Literally

[deepwallow]

Grash looked over at Vienna, his eyes blinking like a reptile as he leaned closer to the gate. Milo's eyes widened and he cursed, running forward and standing between Grash and the gate. "Grash! Grash! It's me! Your brother, Milo." He said quickly, holding his hands up in a gesture to show he meant no harm. "C'mon big boy, it's me. Your big brother. Focus on me, ok?" He said as Grash kept staring at Vienna. Milo moved in his way, blocking her view. "Calm down, ok? Remember when we were little, right Grash? Remember how we had to survive? Remember?" He said in the same soothing voice he had been using the whole time

[CrimsonMoon]

Vienna moves to the back of the cell, careful not to tear her skin any more on the barnacles there. She watches in silence, suddenly after a moment, she began to hum... A small, simple, haunting tune... Maybe it'd help calm him...?

[deepwallow]

Grash sways slightly to the tune as Milo keeps talking in his soothing voice, speaking softly to his brother before gently guiding his away, Grash's eyes half-lidded with sleep as They disappear around a corner. Eventually, Milo comes back and sits down on a barrel heavily with a sigh, holding his face in his hands for a moment before looking up at Vienna. He gives her a tired and sad smile. "Thanks for helping me calm him down." He says , genuinely grateful

[CrimsonMoon]

Vienna pauses, lifting her hand from the scratches and wincing a bit, her eyes tearing up but not noticably in the water," Yeah..." She murmurs and offers him a shy smile in return," Sorry..."
