stranger than earth / p

The ship is among some of the last places Coldblue ever willingly spends a large amount of time within. It stinks of sea, salt, and filth, no matter how much scrubbing is done. The youth values his appearance far too much to risk dirtying himself in some rickety old boat. So why does the lean tomcat prowl through the dark halls, avoiding the creakiest of wooden planks? Simple: he is looking for someone. Rosemary, to be exact. His, uh, unusual aunt caught his attention when she first joined. How could she not with the extra eyes and tail? Coldblue cannot fathom how that wonderfully strange creature is at all related to his boring father is beyond him, but that is not the point of this visit. The point is that...it's...well... Okay, so maybe Blue isn't quite sure what he wants from Aunty Rose, but the boy is not the type to ignore his whims. Instead, he embraces the wholeheartedly, even if it takes him into the aged belly of a docked sea vessel.

It does not take him long to find her. The boy has always possessed a good intuition, allowing him to find his way to unknown places with minimal effort. Halting at the door to Rosemary's room, Coldblue knocks quietly on the wood. He can be quiet rude, but only to people he doesn't like or respect. Blue respects his aunt, though, so he is not particularly inclined to be anything other than mannerly. "Aunt Rose?" he calls, not wishing to barge in just in case she was eating dead bodies like Roxie. "May I come in?"
