[ Your plan is in motion, and it was pretty easy to get it moving with a couple of easy baits in the right places. Fam's enthusiasm for capturing battleships certainly helped things, but once you caught wind that the Reaper ship Silvius was in the area, you knew it was finally time to get things moving not only to get yourself home, but to secure some new allies along the way. So upon hearing about the battleship in the area, you rushed to tell Fam, and she reacted just how you wanted her to. By declaring her intent to CAPTURE THE INFAMOUS SHIP!!

Of course, you didn't tell her, or never mentioned to anyone that you were actually part of the crew of that ship. And knew that the sky pirates going after it would certainly end in them getting captured. That was part of your grand plan, too. You don't underestimate they have skill, but compared to the Silvius? To Captain Tatiana? Ha.

So you decide to help them out a little more when they start trying to puzzle out the ship's ins and outs-- something Giselle is quite good at, so you're interested to see how much they can figure out on their own. You drop a photograph onto the table showing a blurry, but full image of the Silvius to show them, and they are of course impressed with it and ask you how you got it. But you don't give them a straight answer, since the actual answer would ruin your plan and all of this fun! Giselle seems a little hesitant and unsure to try, but with Fam's forwardness they start to point out parts of the ship, talking and guessing and sketching.

You watch, and encourage the kids listening in to have their own fun with the discussion, so they begin to draw. And you throw out some random 'guesses', but you like these guys! So you DO give them some things to work with, even if you have all of the information already. But you don't want to help them TOO much. And Giselle actually gets most things about the ship right. There's just one thing she's not considering...

Ah, well, maybe you can give them ONE more very vague hint. When the kids (now joined by Fam) finish their drawing of THEIR idea of the ship, you grab little butler boy Teddy's teapot full of water and decide to 'christen' the now finished ship drawings, wondering if Giselle will eventually catch on that the ship is also equipped to dive into the waters.

When you take the kids' drawing outside to dry, you get a better look at it. They actually had the weaponry placement spot on, how about that ... but you figure you'll leave some surprises for Giselle and Fam to find out for themselves soon enough, especially since they figured out so much already. After that thought, you quickly turn your attention to a shooting star zipping by in the sky.

And then your ear itches as though you are being talked about somewhere. ]
