122 Vol. 2 pt. 59 Patch 10.0: Something Stupid (1/2)
”Guess they made the alliance official,” Fenrir tells his crew whom all are standing around watching and waiting to see what the other two ships are going to do.
”If it wasn't, it will be since The Northern Wardens just declared war on the Augus Empire by sinking one of their ships,” Cassiel says.
The ships come up next to The Shoebill. Fenrir notices that they are not just being captained by some random players from their factions, but instead are captained by Blackstache and Ull.
”Your big ships not fast enough to get out here in time?” Fenrir asks them. Looking the ships over, they are both far smaller than their respective flagships, but each one has a sleek and aerodynamic design. Their flagships may be mighty and grand, but they look slow and bulky. The ships that the leaders are currently onboard look built for speed.
”Mind if I come aboard, wolf?” Ull asks.
Fenrir doesn't want to let him come over as long as Nell is hiding below deck.
”We're comin' over,” Blackstache says.
As much as Fenrir wants to reject them, he knows that he can't. Refusing them will turn into a game of back-and-forth until he's inevitably forced to let them onboard, and if he tries to make a run for it with The Shoebill, he has no idea what's going to happen.
If worst comes to worst, he may be able to fight against Ull thanks to the boost from being near Nell, but he has no idea if Blackstache would help Ull nor does he know how strong Blackstache is.
There's always revealing who he is to Blackstache, but would Blackstache really betray a new alliance just because he used to play underneath Fenrir's command?

He feels just how nervous Nell is. Her nervousness has been overwhelming ever since they first heard Ull's voice, and it kills Fenrir to do something that he knows might be bad for her, but it's his only choice.
Fenrir bites his lower lip before sighing and shrugging his shoulders. ”If I knew we were getting guests then I would've gotten some snacks ready,” he says.
The other ships extend their gangplanks onto The Shoebill to allow the two leaders to come over.
It comes as a surprise to Fenrir and the rest of the crew when he sees their ships pull away afterward.
Ull and Blackstache look over the worn crew of The Shoebill before looking at each other and nodding.
Blackstache, with his massive mustache and an even larger grin, charges at Fenrir to wrap his arms around him and lift him up in a tight hug!
”Never thought I'd see you again! Rachel told me everything,” Blackstache says, his false accent dropped to act more like the lovable doofus that Fenrir once commanded.
”Are – are you sure now is the right time for this?” Fenrir asks, looking at Ull.
”I turned my stream off, Divine Brigade leader,” Ull says.
Fenrir cringes when he hears that Ull knows who he is. If there's anybody he doesn't want knowing who he is, it's the leader of a faction whom probably hates him and rules millions of players.
”You told him?” Fenrir asks Blackstache.
”My bad,” Blackstache says.
Fenrir's serious composure is interrupted when Blackstache's mustache tickles his nose.
”Alright, alright, go say hi to the others,” Fenrir tells him, patting the older man on the back.
”Right!” Blackstache drops Fenrir and looks at Bonekraka. ”Viktor! It's been years! How's the lady doing?”
”Wife now,” Bonekraka answers.
”Damn, I was hoping one of us would avoid that trap, but I guess we both caved. Spence,” Blackstache looks at Oleander, ”how've you been?”
Oleander clings to Corwin's arm and introduces his boyfriend.
While those four talk, the girls of the crew stand off to the side feeling like fifth, sixth, and seventh wheels.
