Tagalong (Agent Alaska and shadow9119)

[AgentAlaska(Bagel)]

This made Finnur think for a moment, what really would it cost him? He could spare the change for food at land stops, he had plenty. He could surely get her help with things around the boat, maybe.
"You really aren't going to let me decline, are you?" He asked.
Honestly, it was odd. Finnur had never desired, or actually been okay with taking someone out on his boat before. But he didn't desire her on his boat, what he desired was for the argument to end. She obviously wasn't going to budge.

She broke into a grin, not that she could stop herself. She made some high-pitched noise of excitement, danced around in a circle, then realized that she probably had to prove that she was mature if he was going to let her on his boat. She took a breath two calm herself, and though she had stopped dancing, she still could not stop smiling.
"When do we leave?" she asked, and started towards the boat. The gap between the dock and the boat was big, but she was able to stretch her legs just enough to get onto the boat without falling into the water. It was then that she remembered that she had not yet introduced herself, or found out the name of the other male.
"I'm Lilah, buy the way."

[AgentAlaska(Bagel)]

Finnur raised a brow at the girl's behavior, and replied to her statement, "Finnur." He stepped off of the boat and back onto the dock. The sun was beginning to set, which saddened him slightly, he preferred to leave when the sun set. But he had to be sure it would be okay first. "We leave after we speak to at least one of your parents." He said, holding a hand out to help her off the boat, and before she could respond, "No negotiating. I'm sure there are things you may want to bring on the trip anyways. Its a ten week trip, and that's just over water." He explained.

Her face fell, and she groaned. Great, just what she needed, to get her parents involved.
"Can't we just leave?" she protested. "They don't need to know, it'll be fine!" She would have continued, but the look on Finnur's face told her that she had no choice. Sighing, she stepped back off the boat and followed him, clinging to her satchel the entire way back to the restaurant. 'What a pain...' she thought as they walked.

Finnur nodded, "I am not going to just take you on a ten week trip across the ocean, without your parents' permission. That's called kidnapping. And if I'm going to go to jail for something, stealing a kid and feeding her to a dragon isn't going to be what for." He secretly hoped that this way of wording it would scare her into changing her mind, and at the diner, he pushed the glass door open again, scanning the faces, not the eyes, of the diners.
"Where are your parents?" Finnur looked to Lilah.

She trailed behind Finnur as they walked into the diner, mumbling and sulking all the while. When he asked her who her parents were, she stepped in front of him and pointed to her fathers. She became even more upset when she realized how frantic they both looked. Obsidian was going from table to table, and Carter-Kole looked as though he was about to cry. She led Finnur over to the table. A relieved Obsidian ran over, grabbed her, and wrapped her up in a hug.
"Little lady, where the hell have you been?" he hissed, burying his face in her hair. She flinched; he only used language like that when he was very upset. She turned to Finnur, hoping for some kind of rescue.

Finnur nodded, then watched as one of the men hugged her, she looked uncomfortable. Why? Wasn't this her father?
"She heard what they were saying about my travels, sir, and found me to ask me about them. She wants to come with me on my next quest." He explained. This was something his sister not into him at a very early age - honesty is the key to a truly good person. And at this moment, he wasn't going to lie to keep the girl from going on his journey with him.
"It's about a six month trip. Ten weeks going, four weeks there, ten weeks back." Slaying dragons.

Obsidian put Lilah down, and met Finnur's gaze steadily. Lilah knew her father wasn't one to trust strangers, so she didn't hold out much hope that she would be allowed to go.
"So that's what's up, huh...?" Obsidian muttered, and Lilah could see him mulling it over. "I'm sorry if my daughter bothered you any." Lilah flinched at that; she wasn't bothering anyone, at least, she didn't think she was. She shot Finnur another pleading look, begging him to say something that would convince her parents to let her go with him.

Finnur met the man's gaze, though immediately regretted it. He knew his uneven stare coupled with the fact that he didn't meet others' eyes often, if at all, would come off as threatening, so he softened his voice to make up for it. "Yes, sir. She was telling me about how she wants to be a famous author when she grows up, and wants to come with me on my quest to write about the journey. She wasn't a bother. I told her I am okay with it, but I wasn't just going to haul her off on a dangerous job without getting permission from her parents first." he stood tall, which Finnur definitely was. About 6'7", he towered over most other Makoatls, even those who out-aged him by many years.

Obsidian nodded thoughtfully, looking Finnur up and down. He was shorter than the younger Mako by a bit more than a head, but was in no way intimidated. He'd been confronted by worse Makos in the past, and as far as he could tell, Finnur was telling the whole truth. He looked down at Lilah, at his mate Carter-Kole, then back at Finnur.
"I'll have to discuss this with my husband bother we decide on anything, but I admire you for telling the truth," he told Finnur. "Tell me, kid, what's your name?
Lilah blinked in surprise; she hadn't expected Obsidian to actually agree to this. Or at least, almost agree to it. She still had to get the approval of Carter, and that would be difficult.
