Raziel blinked, suddenly all too self-conscious.  He'd been the center of attention most of his life, although it was clear to many who knew him well that he belonged in a book.  The excitement of reuniting with Kian and meeting his niece for the first time began to fade, replaced with anticipation.  This was a group of pirates.  Pirates.

They did not seem bad, however, with perhaps one exception but there was always someone with a nasty or bitter attitude.  The fee breathed in slowly through his nose.  He did not have much of a choice in the matter really; he had to stay, at least, while his leg healed.  His brother - and niece perhaps - would probably appreciate it, if he stayed.  It would give them time to spend together, as a family... His was still waiting however.  Raziel closed his eyes, sending a quiet prayer for the five he'd been on the way to visit.  They would be fine; he could visit when he was back on his feet, and knew more about his geographic location.  With a tired, but happy, more-at-peace smile, he raised his head back to the wolf, "if it is not a bo-"

The feline let out a soft grunt at the impact of another sibling, feeling all of his muscles tense instinctively.  "Sea."

How many times had the mischievous twin barreled into him when they were younger?  Raziel could still remember his younger brother years and years ago; intelligent eyes locked on him as he droned on and on about their history and science.  He could still recall his fond smile as he worked something out on his own in his studies.  At some point in their lives, that smile turned sour when it was turned Raziel's way.  Something dark and dangerous replaced the bright light in his little brother's eyes.  He missed him.

"Don't call me that," he murmured, a frown threatening to push down his smile.  "You never cared much for authority anyhow, Seamus." Despite the light and airy tone, Raziel was anxious.  He didn't like that smile.  He had a bad feeling, as he always did with Seamus.

"I'm not sure how much use I'll be," hopefully, he'd fine some way to contribute to a group of pirates, "but I would happy to stay."
