Ivy and Juliet were looking at Vane, feeling both sympathy for his lost childhood
Arslan at some point came back to his sense and listened to Vane's story as well, before he broke the silence
"What about your goal? have you changed it now?"
Vane gave him a fake, pleasant smile
"By time i learnt how to let things g—"
Arslan intruppted Vane as he spoke in an harsh tone:
"Quit the act, If killing that bastard is what you want, count me in"
Vane looked at Arslan surprised, Eve nodded her head as well, slowing her drinking
"David Leonheart, right? we'd get him eventually, if not on the sea, we'll just go knock on his door".
Dane and Ivy nodded
Ray just sipped his drink as he chimed in
"well, you're revenge is ours".
Vane scoffed
"it doesn't concern you all, it's my burden to carry.".
Arslan grabbed Vane by his collar slamming him against the wall
"Listen here, don't give us that 'i can do it alone' talk"
He paused before adding
"didn't you say we're family? i see nothing like that from you, you keep shutting yourself off everytime we ask to help you, it's annoying".
Vane expression softened a little before stopped struggling
"i understand...i just don't want any of you to get hurt, because of this selfish goal"
Eve laughed
"what a softie! nobody is getting hurt, when time arrives, we'll kill that guy and find a way to make you win your title as a noble again"
Vane laughed
"Killing my uncle is one thing, but convincing the King? that'll need a trail for me"
Eve raised a brow
"and what's wrong with the king's trails?"
Vane shook his head as he pushed Arslan off him
"Im not much of a trails fan"
Eve laughed loudly
"I wouldn't trust the royal family too!"
Vane and Arslan sat back on thier places
"So, where's our next destination?"
everyone looked at Eve, after all she was the Captain.
Eve in her turn just shrugged.
"up to y'all, im tired of being a Captain"
Dane took that moment to speak
"why not cross the Mediterranean sea? me and Ivy got a business back on Italy".
Eve raised brow, as Vane eyes darted towards him.
"For what? missed your hometown?"
Vane said sarcastically, as Dane just decided to shrug it off, before giving Vane an eerie smile.
Arslan seemed to sense the tension,so he spoke a bit dazed of alcohol
"if you suggest something like going to Italy, you better have a good reason to back you up".
Juliet seemed to agree with Arslan, as she nodded her head.
Dane was about to speak, before Ivy intruppted him
"I missed my parents"
The woman was slightly blushing as she said that, hinting to her sincerity.
Juliet just patted her back, before Vane spoke
"Weren't your parents dead?"
that earnt him a glare from the whole crew, Ivy looked at him annoyed
"I don't know, isn't your mother also dead?"
Vane was taken aback
"Fair point..but that's not what i meant—"
Arslan facepalmed as Juliet just laughed
"Damnit Vane, she's going to visit her parent's grave".
'OH!'.
