Kona looked at her. "Wiggle worm." He teased. "You could be the bait we used to catch fish Miro." He said with a playful tease followed by a laugh. "Wiggle worm Ikol and fish Miro...what a weird pair would that be." He laughed more. Seeing her stick her tongue out at him he stuck his back out at her. "Neeeh." He said with a laugh. "I see." He looked up at the sky. "Yeah. Wouldn't surprise me. Yet their favorite means of torture is to beat the shit out of you until you sing." He said. Shuddering a bit. His dad used to do that to his brother when he did things he wasn't supposed to do. Wouldn't surprise him if Jared didn't turn to a life of piracy. Heh...what irony. He looked at him. "I bet it was the Navy. They love to kill people and claim it was an accident. Or do a conspiracy cover up to cover up their dirty secrets." He said. He almost sounded like he knew something about it.<br/><br/>He did because he overheard his father a few times speaking about "issues" that needed to be cleaned up and covered up before the King got wind of it. They were good at coverups and burying the truth. "I bet you are right and someone murdered him. I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my brother when I was twelve. He took off one day swearing this wasn't the last our old man would hear of him then vanished into the night. He is six years older than me." He lay where he was. "I would love to see those horses. My grandpa gave me a wild mustang. That horse the only thing I'm gonna miss of my old life. I'm glad to be rid of my old life. The only thing I'll miss is Bruno. Especially since my most precious thing in my life, Miro, is right here with me."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Miro must be attached to Tes because he did not let go of him. He did not move from his lap and holding onto him. His cheeks remained faintly flushed for a reason he did not understand. A reason he was not willing to explore further. He looked at him. "Yes. Yet the sea will take care of those who take care of her." He said softly. "That would be the children of the sea. They love to sing and play around." He said with a nod of his head. Children of the sea meant mermaids, sirens, the occasional nymph. His eyes lit up at the mention of food. "FOOD! Yes!" He said in excitement. His stomach growling in agreement. He absentmindedly nuzzled Tes. He was affectionate mainly when sleeping or absentmindedly doing it. He was very self conscious and wary of show affection to people. Even with Kona he didn't do it too much. The guy was like his big brother. He looked up at Tes. "Lets go eat." He said with a grin.</span>
