Davie looked like a real captain. He wore a tricorne hat over his wavy blue hair. He still wore a slightly unbuttoned white shirt but it was covered by a brown pirate coat. His black trousers were now new and improved. It had belts that crossed over each other forming a slight x on his waist and he wore black pirate boots.

" Wow...he actually cleans up nice"

Apathy's comment on his appearance made the shy man blush.

Will realizing its his turn took one of his sets and walked into the changing rooms.

He came out wearing cream shorts with a dark purple sash wrapped around his waist. He wore a small unbuttoned shirt along with a small coat that hung loosely off his shoulders. Around his forehead was a burgundy bandanna wrapped into a knot on the side of his head.

He looked like a small emperor on a voyage at sea

He pulled against his clothes and actually liked them. They fit perfectly on his body and they didn't feel too restricting.

He turned to thank Virgil but was met with tears dripping onto his face.

Virgils eyes focused for the first time since they met and it was on him. His eyes dripped tears onto Will's face. Will didn't know how to react so he just stood there in shock.

Vigil finally regained his usually jittery manner after being called out by Belle who wanted to speak to him alone.

He tilted his head in confusion before appearing infront of her in the blink of an eye.

" What do you want from me prin-" he was stopped by a hand covering his mouth

She then walked him over to the corner of the room and spoke to him. He would occasionally nod as she spoke but every now and then his head would slowly swivel back on will before snapping back to face Belle.

Apathy walked up to Will who seemed to be deep in thought.

" What are you think about?"

Will did not look up to face her but looked down at the floor.

" I just realized something " Davie was leaning on the wall next to the window. His eyes perked up seeing that Will was willing to talk to Apathy. 'Guess were not that close yet'

" Did those guys at the docks really want to hurt us?"

Will looked up at her with a worried gaze in his eyes.

" What do you mean?" Will sighed in resignation and elaborated.

" I mean sure they were able to resist the effects of your charm but they seemed to go down pretty easily and we even killed a few of them. We never actually knew who they worked for what they wanted or why they stopped us specifically in the first place. There were at least 2 other vessels that docked at the same time as us. Why did we get the most attention? Our ship looked like it was barely sailing. Shouldn't that have turned away anyone looking to sell us anything? I feel like i did something very wrong and its gonna end up costing us in the future. I was too impatient. I was...I was. Im...Im just a-"

With tears welling up in his eyes Apathy embraced him in her arms.

"Shhh..shhh its ok. We know. Thats why you should ask us before doing anything on your own. We all makes mistakes. We just need to learn from them. Your our leader but your younger than us and lack some of the experience needed to lead properly. So until your able to do it on your own ask for help. No one will hurt you just for asking"

Will cried in Apathy's arms for a minute. Davie walked over to him and patted him on the shoulders and have him a little thumbs up.

Belle stood silently in the corner with Virgil who was looking on in complete intrest. It was a stark comparison to the look on Belle's face. It was one of anguish and regret. She felt a knot in her chest grow tighter.

Her tattoos glowed a murky black and she for the first time began to hear something beyond whispering to her. She listened in a daze before she was snapped out of it by Will.

" Belle. We gotta go now, leave the rest of your clothes here. We'll come back later for the rest of the stuff. "

They all hopped out the window and stared at the evening sun. Will looked around for a while and said.

" Lets go find somewhere to spend the night. Tomorrow we'll look for a shipwright."
