To the City!
Andromeda missed Reginn and Rose, ever since they where born this was the longest time she had gone without seeing them. She wanted to go and give them a hug but that would mean going back before exploring the entire world.
Daedalus also missed them but he knew that the two would want to be self sufficient for a while. They where adults now, even if they looked like teenagers again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a month since the pirate incident, the pirates had long since been forgotten, other than the occasional feeding. Daedalus had found a map while raising their ship which detailed several larger cities and towns. It wasn't exactly what they where planning but it was easier to slot yourself into a bustling city than a small village.
The past month was mostly spent with the two preparing extra materials, and Daedalus making his new boat extra glamorous. On the other hand, Andromeda was pregnant. They had noticed that she was pregnant at the beginning of the month although it seemed that it would take longer than the previous time they had a child, or two.
With a month spent in preparations Daedalus made a quick journey to the city and checked to see what the culture was like. After spending a few minutes just wandering about Daedalus felt that it wouldn't be too difficult to fit in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he returned he had found Andromeda leading the pirates out of the dungeon. Noticing his raised eyebrow she rolled her eyes and said "They're pirates, I bet there's a bounty out there for them, it will get you a headstart with your plans to be a bounty hunter."
Yes, Daedalus was planning to be a bounty hunter while they stayed on this continent. Nodding at her words Daedalus couldn't help but feel a bit bad for the men, they where a bit gaunt and they had dead eyes. That thought disappeared almost instantly when he remembered what Andromeda had told him that they said.
Shaking his head to get rid of that thought he quickly went into the ship and refurbished the cells that he had used for storage into basic holding cells. Of course even if it looked simple or basic, the group of three had no hopes of breaking even the wood of the ship, let alone the metal bars.
After that it was a matter of arriving at the city and getting any legal documents signed or at least the equivalent of legal documents. Thus the two set sail for the city in the overly pimped out boat that Daedalus had transformed from a pirate boat.
Daedalus was prepared to a degree as they had been a merchant ship in the Heris region. But having to deal with a pirate who failed badly at not being obvious was annoying.
The moment Daedalus had said 'Merchant ship' the little bugger had been shaking with greed, seeing the ship only brought that out even more. Eventually Daedalus said "Well that is all. Oh, I forgot to mention, the ship is covered with protective formations from a formation Grandmaster, so it won't need any protection."
The pirate's eyes immediately dimmed and he seemed a bit down. But Daedalus didn't care he had somewhere to park his bounty hunter merchant boat.
