Willy had survived the chaos, delighting in the gay bit of magic. He was sitting on the deck in the sun, strumming his instrument and making up a silly little tune about some of the hijinks he had watched.
He was stuck, though, and played the same three chords over and over. Over and over, as if the rhythm of the strings might drag an idea out of him.
"Hey nonny nonny always fits," he considered aloud.

no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 02:44 am (UTC)"I have improved mine here some. It isn't the same though. Not enough pillows, not enough feathers..." Nyx sighed.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 02:56 am (UTC)Willy nodded toward Nyx's wrist.
"That hinders you," he said, a question the prince didn't need to answer. "Perhaps I could assist?"
Few knew the dangers of such an offer.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 03:03 am (UTC)"What would it cost me?" Nyx asked, not saying no, but wanting an idea of what he was getting into.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 03:09 am (UTC)"Company," Willy answered easily. "Perhaps you and the wildling and the pixie would join me. Kersen is fine, but a vampire. He is farther from home, hmm? It has been so long since I've been near kin of any kind..."
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 03:11 am (UTC)Winter would be easy to convince, but Fox might prove a challenge. Nyx was certain he could be convinced though.
"Alright," he agreed simply. "Should be simple enough."

Date: 2024-01-13 03:38 am (UTC)"Very good. Show me your room and I shall make improvements," he smiled, finally rising.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 03:45 am (UTC)Nyx hesitated, but... Hex probably wasn't there.
"Alright," he agreed, gesturing for Will to follow him down to his quarters.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 03:51 am (UTC)Willy towered over the fae prince, and yet, when they went below deck, he never had to duck. He followed him to his room and smiled when the door opened.
"Ah, there is much to work with," he said appreciatively.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 04:03 am (UTC)"I made a start at least," Nyx shrugged. "It's still far from what I like though. There's not nearly enough velvet for a start."
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 04:07 am (UTC)"Explain to me your vision," Willy invited, closing the door and then begining to weave a spell to shift and shape the room to Nyx's desire.
Everything Nyx described, Willy formed for the prince, beginning with velvet. The color changed as Nyx pleased, and with every new idea, magic filled the room.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 04:13 am (UTC)Just the magic was enough to warm him. Nyx didn't want much though. Thicker pillows, green velvet, and an easel. The easel was terribly important. Paints and brushes he could sort out himself.
"It's lovely," he said softly.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 04:31 am (UTC)Willy smiled with pride.
"As you like," he said warmly, adding a vase of fresh flowers from the Daoine lands that filled the room with a fresh, dreamy scent.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 02:42 pm (UTC)"It's beautiful," Nyx nodded, offering a gesture that was as close to thanks as he would dare tred.
"I will arrange a gathering soon. Dinner, perhaps?"
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:01 pm (UTC)"Delightful," the fae smiled, pleased with his own work as he looked at the room.
"This makes the rest of the ship seem drab. Perhaps the whim to improve it will strike me," he said thoughtfully. "I could make the entire place more tolerable."
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:12 pm (UTC)"You can't change the whole ship, Bond will have a fit. Could change some rooms though. Yours, certainly," Nyx noted.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:14 pm (UTC)"The captain is only a man," he laughed derisively. "I care not for what pleases him or not."
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:23 pm (UTC)"I'm not ready to start a fight with him, Will," Nyx pleaded quietly.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:51 pm (UTC)"What fight? What man would not be eternally grateful for improvements without debt? He'd be foolish to ask to repay what I might choose to do for my own delight," he replied, the threat so very clear.
Bond could shut up and accept Willy's grace. Or he'd pay.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 06:58 pm (UTC)"If he gets cross with you, he won't take it out on you, Will. It will be me who suffers," Nyx insisted.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 07:07 pm (UTC)"And my retribution will be fierce. I'm certain any of these men could sail this ship to harbor without him," Willy said.
"Fear not, my friend," he smiled then. "I believe the captain is smart enough to know when he will lose."
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 07:14 pm (UTC)Nyx still looked unsure, but nodded. He had no reason not to trust Willy after all.
Sitting on the bed, he ran his fingers over the rich velvet. "Stay with me a while?" he asked. He got so lonely anytime he was left alone- And he had a feeling Will was feeling the same way. If they could do nothing more right now, at least they could keep one another company.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 07:25 pm (UTC)"If I am to stay, there must be refreshment," he said.
Another wave of his hand and there was a table with a lovely tea. Fine porcelain pot and cups, little sandwiches, sweet and savoury nibbles, and sugary treats- impossible in the world of men.
"Enjoy. I shall play more," he told him, finding a seat and making himself comfortable.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 07:32 pm (UTC)Nyx sipped his tea and listened, but eventually spoke again.
"Have you made many friends here?" he asked.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-13 07:37 pm (UTC)"The vampire, Kersen," he said. "He bargained my passage and I owe him for that. I have also spoken to a warlock who comes out at night. All others, I simply watch."
