This is What Happens [OPEN]

[Aqualad]

The dark blue waters below the docks were exceptionally still that afternoon. No ships had left in the morning, and although a shipment of cargo was due in, it was late, and the men waiting to receive it had gotten impatient and sauntered off looking for something else to do.

A buoy bobbed up and down. A bell rang.

A head broke through the surface of the waters. Aqualad looked around at his new surroundings, his strange black eyes blinking with a sort of faraway wonder.

He wondered how he got here.

He must have known he was swimming in the direction of Jump City - he probably even directed his course so that he ended up here... but if he did so, he did it subconsciously. He had, in fact, been so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he wasn't really paying attention to where he was going. He had just been swimming for the sake of swimming, feeling the water rushing past, enjoying the sensation of moving at supersonic speeds and being one with his element.

And now he was here, and he hadn't exactly planned to be. His teammates didn't know he was here. If they needed him, that would be a problem.

Turning around in the water, the marine teen suddenly ducked down below the surface again, and then, a second later, shot up out of the water completely as if the liquid lifted him up by its own accord, and dropped nimbly down onto the docks.

He removed his yellow communicator and flipped it open. He would get in touch with his team to let them know where he was, and then start the swim back. It had been a pointless trip, but he had enjoyed the exercise. He couldn't shake the irritating feeling these days that he was somehow tied to Steel City because of his team. He didn't regret joining - or rather co-founding - the Titans East. He knew he was doing more good as a member of a team than he was on his own. But still, going from the complete freedom of living in the depths of the ocean to not being able to leave the waters surrounding one city was... a bit of a steep jump to make.

He stared at the screen of his communicator for a moment, standing still, debating with himself what he was going to tell his friends about why he was here exactly. If he told them that he just wasn't looking where he was going or something, they either wouldn't believe him, though it was the truth, or think he was some kind of numb skull.

Contemplating his dilemma, he continued to stare at the little screen as he stood dripping on the end of the dock, and ran a hand back over his hair thoughtfully.

[Sonos]

A blue head bounced with every musical step. The petite girl hummed to herself as she walked in her usual fashion, as if almost dancing. Her pale blue eyes scanned the area serenely, with only the slightly perceptible slant of her eyebrows to clue in any observers to her mild curiosity of the area. But that's just the thing. There were no observers. No witnesses for what would soon occur. Just as planned,

[/color] Sonos mentally noted. In her wandering, the crafty girl had overheard word of a shipment of cargo due in today. Due in a good thirty minutes ago, actually; the shipment was late. Sonos didn't let this setback deter her silent enthusiasm for what she considered her art, though. If anything, the failure to meet schedule had worked only in her favor. The lack of activity had driven the dock-workers off, meaning less people and less obstacle's for the blue-haired girl's plans. Not that ordinary humans could be considered obstacles, that is. Civilians were easy to incapacitate. She merely had to raise the amplitude of any sounds in the area to the point it was knock them unconscious, like flies. It wasn't so easy with super-powered people, though. They were inherently of stronger constitution.

Sonos halted her fluid, graceful walking to stop and stare out into the ocean. There was no sign of the ship. It truly was late... The girl was a patient one though, and she could wait. She was clothed in her battle wear which could only truly mean one thing: she was ready to some fighting. When she heard of the incoming shipment, she formed a plan to intercept the cargo before it made it safely to the warehouses. She would steal what she wanted, and destroy what she didn't. After all, this was a game to the girl. More destruction and chaos meant more points! Maybe she'd somehow manage to even sink the ship. I feel like a pirate, she thought contentedly. As she stared out into the water, her attention was grabbed by a strange sight.

Sonos simply stared, her curiosity remaining merely mild. She watched as he shot straight from the water and landed on the dock in quite the peculiar fashion. She remained, silent, observing. She watched as the black haired, black-eyed boy removed something vaguely yellow and stared at it. The villain briefly pondered where on his person he kept the strange contraption. That strange, skin-tight suit didn't exactly seem like it had pockets built right in. She dragged her mind away from the curious conundrum, and pursued a more relative train of thought. This person was a super human if she had ever seen one. The strange outfit and eyes were all the proof she needed to know that. A super teen would interfere with her plans, no doubt... But there was no avoiding it. Life was boring if it went according to plan anyways. His appearance only added a whole new dynamic to what had previously been an average heist! A small, serene smile floated upon her lips as she strolled over to the strange boy. She once again was walking fluidly, as if to some kind of rhythm. Giving the fact she was wearing headphones, it would not have been an outlandish assumption to believe she was listening to music. However, it would have been an incorrect assumption none the less.

The blue haired girl stopped in front of the strange boy, tilting her head up slightly to look make eye contact before speaking in her usual soft tone. "How do you do?"[/blockquote]

[Aqualad]

The hero shifted his weight and his frown deepened as he continued to stare at his blank communicator, completely at a loss for what to do. Maybe he wouldn't bother leaving a message. It wouldn't take him too long to swim back if he went at top speed, and what were the chances that his team would need him before he could get home?

"How do you do?"

The question actually startled him, and he looked up at once to see a girl standing before him. Surely, he must have heard her approach. Had he just been that wrapped up in his thoughts that people could just walk right up to him without him hearing? He, who's ears were adapted to hear sounds a hundred feet under water? This was a disturbing thought. His mind was definitely rather cluttered recently. That was what had caused him to take a swim all the way to Jump City in the first place. Obviously his goal of clearing his mind had not been reached.

"Hello?" Aqualad replied to the girl, casting his doubts about the clarity of his mind away and focusing on her. Bright blue hair. That was odd, but then, he was never one to judge on appearance. One only had to look at him to see that he himself was quite out of the ordinary.

He cast a glance behind her (which was not difficult, as she was much shorter than he), as if to see if she was actually alone, or if she came accompanied by some purpose or other. There was nobody around but the two of them. So what had possessed her to come talk to him? The Titans East were nowhere near as well-known as the regular Titans in Jump City, but that didn't mean she didn't recognise him. Maybe there was trouble somewhere. Or maybe she was...

A fan?

"Um," He began awkwardly, feeling the silence between them, momentary as it had been, to be quite uncomfortable, though the girl was smiling contentedly, "Is something the matter? I mean... can I help you?"

The way she was smiling like that though, looking so at peace, so serene, led him to believe that there couldn't possibly be anything wrong...

[Sonos]

Sonos couldn't help the bit of soft, melodic laughter that escaped her lips at his reaction. "Hello." She replied back, restraining her quiet mirth. Her tone was a friendly and polite one, lacking the tone of questioning and confusion his had. Other than the greeting, she remained silent, still smiling softly. Her blue head tilted in slight curiosity as he directed his gaze past her. She turned around to as well look behind her, wondering if someone was standing there. There was nothing, and instead her eyes met the rest of the wooden docks, along with the beginnings of the city. The afternoon sun was warm, and the sky was clear blue. White, puffy clouds floated along casually, and Sonos was for a moment, lost in the beauty of it all. This didn't last, however, as her attention was once again captured by the strange man with the strange eyes. She was oblivious to the supposed awkwardness. Or perhaps she was aware, but apathetic. Or maybe such a thing as awkwardness didn't even register to the blue haired girl.

"Nothing at all is wrong. Why do you ask?" Sonos questioned. "I was just wondering who you are. That way, I can stop referring to you as 'the strange man' in my head." She smiled once more, before reaching out her hand. As she lifted her arm, the overly long sleeve fell backwards down her forearm, exposing her hand. It was held out, ready to shake. While she did not directly notice the awkwardness, she did notice his reaction to it. "Has a cat got your tongue? A fitting phrase, considering you seem to be a fish." Again, her soft laughter sounded throughout the area. She decided to introduce herself as well. After all, it would be rude to ask his name and then not give her own. But the question was... should she give her real, or codename? Perhaps if she were in her civilian clothing, she would have given her real name. But as she was in her costume, she decided her code name would do just fine. "You can call me Sonos."

Now the question was how to proceed. Occasionally, Sonos glanced behind the boy out to the water, waiting to see if she could see the cargo ship on the horizon. Honestly, she had not thought through her approach to him. Still, it didn't seem like that harmful of an action. If anything, she could kill a little time as she waited. No sense and standing around in boredom, when there was someone to converse with. The blue haired girl returned her attention to the boy, willing to let him direct the conversation.

[Aqualad]

So she hadn't recognized him. What then? Was she just looking to make friends, or something? Or maybe she really was just curious as to who he was. He could understand that, given his appearance, if he wasn't recognized as a superhero (he disliked using that term, it always sounded so grandiose), he probably looked a very strange sight indeed.

Clicking his still unactivated communicator shut, he reached his arm around to the back of his waist and replaced it on the clip he had installed into his costume purposely for the device. As he did this, he kept his eyes on the girl, 'Sonos'. There was... something off about her. It wasn't anything she had said. She was being perfectly polite.

Maybe he was just imagining it.

Finding his way to a smile in return, he shook her hand.

"Sorry, I guess I'm just not used to people coming over and talking to me unless there's some kind of problem going on that needs sorting out. I'm Aqualad. And I'm not technically a fish." He added, maintaining his friendly smile as he knew the incorrect assumption was made innocently enough.

He noticed that she had glanced past him a couple of times now, looking quickly out to sea. She might have just been looking to see where he had come from, or...
"Are you waiting for a boat?" He asked, curious to find out more about this strange, assertive girl.

[Robin]

Footsteps fell along the boardwalk, gentle eyes peering through a domino mask as they gazed at the vast ocean and beyond. While it was considered an odd sight to catch the Boy Wonder off guard casually milling about, most people seemed to disregard that even heroes needed a break. Donning his usual flamboyant spandex Robin slowly walked across the path of wood until the trail came to a stop at the end of the track, nothing separating himself and a thirty foot free-fall into the cold and salty waters below. The leading Titan looked down at his occupied gloved hand, reveling in the fact that he carried a large box containing a full eight slices of cheese pizza meant to be savored by himself, with no nagging Beast Boy, no Stinkball wielding Tin man to boot.

Robin carefully knelt downward, drawing his legs outward allowing them to dangle over the edge of the wooden plank. The hustle and bustle belonging to the boardwalk was prevalent with a series of children running behind him, each carrying a stick of fluffy cotton candy, apparently playing a game of tag. While the obnoxious voices played its part of distracting the male from his thoughts, nothing was going to stop him from enjoying his pizza. With the decision to chow down fresh in his sixteen year old mind Robin deposited the box of pizza into his lap, his nostrils picking up the wafting smell of cheese that hovered through the confines of the box. The scent only proved to increase his appetite as he nearly ripped the box open, tore a slice a pizza from the large pie and bit into it, letting his taste buds savor the delectable junk food as his eyes returned to the ocean that ultimately led up to the Titans tower in the not too far distance. Thoughts about a recent string of attacks fought their way into the male distorted mind and almost immediately, even to the surprise of Robin himself, he pushed them away, refusing his intellectual mind to fall subject to the seriousness that consumed him.

Even heroes needed a break. Time and time again Robin had to remind himself that above all else, despite being the leader of the group of a people that took down so many criminals in such a short period of time that he was still a teenager. The ocean breeze picked up and blew it's cold airs against the Boy Wonder's tight clothing, causing a slight shiver to shake his frame while doing nothing to affect the male's spiky hair, its luster reigning supreme in the sunlight that poured over the city. In the time frame of ten minutes Robin had consumed five slices of pizza, leaving him with a depressing three. Peering side to side Robin noted that there was no one passing by, which was the obvious reason for the silence that recently enveloped the vicinity. At the same time his vision picked up a vibrant flash of blue that was not far from his vacation, belonging to a person who was drenched and possessed hair that was slicked back. At first Robin played off his sight, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him but a part of him also thought that a certain Titans East member decided to visit the docks of Jump.

Deciding to test his theory Robin closed his box of pizza and stood to his feet, holding the still steaming food with one hand, the carton pressed against his side as he began his casual stroll down the boardwalk towards them. A visage of a young girl came into view and instantly Robin's mind ran through a million possibilities regarding this female. The other person she was talking with no doubt the aquatic male he hypothesized minutes ago, yet the girl herself he had never seen before. The likelihood of Aqualad appearing from Steel City and this possibly enigmatic female meeting together seemed a little off, but one thought came into the teen's head and with it curved the edges of his lips into a smirk. As he neared the two who were engaged in conversation, he brought a gloved hand up to his mouth, cupping it in the form of a loudspeaker. "Aqualad, I didn't know you had fans here in Jump too," He called out once he was within earshot, lowering his cupped hands to temporarily place it on his friend's shoulder upon nearing him. He spared a glance at the blue haired girl before him, and then back at the male, suddenly realizing he was interrupting something. Still he proceeded with introducing himself, for the sake of getting the question marks out of her head. "Robin, nice to meet you," he said, holding out his own free hand to also partake in the hand shaking that was only just occurring. From her vibes alone she seemed like an nice innocent fangirl but there was honestly something welling within the pit of the teen's cheese filled stomach that told him that to be on guard. Still, he couldn't rule out the thought that maybe, just maybe, he had one too many slices of pizza.

[Sonos]

At his words, Sonos could only shrug in an apologetic way. Why did he seem so uncomfortable? It was a slight downer on the girl's good mood. Apparently she needed to improve her conversation skills. "I didn't think it was strange. And I knew you weren't actually a fish... It was a joke." She clarified, perhaps needlessly. "Aqualad, huh? She paused, testing out the name, before continuing again. "That's interesting. So you're a super-human-person-fish-thing then, right? I figured that much... You look far to strange to be a civilian." Then he asked the question. How should she answer? Lying would be safer and more entertaining for sure, but then if she said no, how could she explain her being there at all? It was a nice day... Perhaps saying she was just out walking when she saw "Aqualad" and was curious would not raise suspicion. Sonos was a rather good liar, after all. It came naturally to her.

However, she was saved from having to respond as a voice called out down the docks. Sonos could only tilt her head in confusion. A... fan...?

[/i] She repeated the words in her mind, as if they were foreign to her. She turned her gaze from the boy down the docks back to Aqualad, once again looking him over from head to toe. She supposed she could see why he might have fans, but Sonos certainly wasn't one of them. Of all the things the girl was interested in, romance wasn't one of them. She was far too busy to doing evil things to care all that much about having a love life. Besides, it seemed far too serious for her taste. Too dramatic. When she turned her head to once again face the other one, he was right there beside them. She smiled and shook his hand, interested to see what would happen next. How would this affect her plans? Sonos hoped she could still steal from and destroy that, as she wanted to do so much. But this new addition, Robin, as he had said his name was, couldn't be anything but a superhero. No villain in their right mind would wear such terrible spandex. As all of this passed through her mind, her expression never left that same serene state.

"My name is Sonos." She told Robin in her quiet voice before adding, "And you should probably know I am not a fan of this man. I did just meet him, after all." Sonos laughed a little at the notion. The more she thought about it, the more comical the idea became. Her? A fan? Of a superhero? It was just too amusing.

[/blockquote]

[Aqualad]

Well, the fact that he didn't take her joke as a joke didn't help make this little situation any less awkward. Luckily, her second go at a description of him, that he was a 'super-human-person-fish-thing' was perhaps a slightly more accurate one, if only because she covered more bases with it.
"Something like that," He replied, "But I resent the 'thing' part." He added, and his smile indicated that this time, he did know it was a joke.
And as for looking too strange to be a civilian, well, it was blunt, but it was true. He didn't exactly blend into a crowd. Then again, with her bright blue hair, he didn't expect Sonos did either.

He was waiting patiently for the answer to his question about why she was here, when another new voice broke the silence. This one he did recognize immediately, and as he looked up he smiled widely to see his friend approaching them.
"Robin! Good to see you." He said by way of greeting, genuinely glad to see a friendly face that would hopefully help to make this conversation a little less uncomfortable.

He was about to clarify to his friend that she wasn't a fan, that she didn't actually know him, and that he didn't think he had any fans at all, let alone in Jump City. Before he could, Sonos spoke up and took care of two of those three agendas.

"I think Sonos here was just curious to find out who I was after she saw me arrive via ocean." He explained, jerking a thumb to the water behind him, "I really shouldn't be here. I was swimming and I just kind of... ended up here. I'll get back to Steel soon." He added, remembering that Robin was not only the leader of the Teen Titans, the 'father' group of the Titans East, but also technically his boss, and he might not approve of him shirking his duties in his own city just so he could sight see in Jump. Not that that was what he was doing. This whole thing was just a big distraction.

[Robin]

After shaking her hand Robin stood back to really take in the sight of this female. There were no alarms going off, nothing to arouse suspicion, and for once, Robin was being the casual teenager. He refused to ruin this moment - Batman would kill him but he wasn't under the Bat's wing, not anymore. Directing his attention to Aqualad, he tilted his head curiously, brows arching underneath that mask of his. Aqualad was his normal self, but he seemed a little shy. Not that Robin was surprised, Sonos...Sonos didn't seem to be familiar with the Titans; the group itself was considered a household name so it was a bit...off. Robin gave a smile, ridding himself of the questionable thoughts that rained upon his mind.

"Aqualad, it's good to see you too. You guys want some pizza?" At the end of said offer, he pulled out the box of pizza he was holding, opening it to present the remaining slices of pizza to both people. Friendly gestures were what heroes did, and Robin was going to attempt to break the ice on this nice day, expel the magnetic tension surrounding all three of them and possibly take a few friendly jabs at the fellow Titans East member. It was odd that he was here on the west coast, but if this was urgent, Aqualad would have went straight to the issue at hand. Since he was here, he might as well stay and enjoy the weather for awhile. After all, it was only a matter of time before something offsets the peaceful balance, and then it's back to business.

[Aqualad]

Robin seemed to be strangely relaxed today, Aqualad couldn't help but observe. The other times he'd seen him, he'd never been this laid back, but then, the only other times he had seen him were during missions which had required his leadership and full concentration, so that was hardly surprising. Maybe he was taking a day off - that was evidenced by the pizza box, at least, and that he didn't seem to be in a rush to get anywhere. Well, good for him. His own teammates would be quick to point the finger at him being the hardest worker, but he still understood that everyone needed a break every once in a while, to blow off some steam. It was the same reason he'd accidentally swam a good few miles today. It was interesting that Robin would rather spend his day off alone than with his friends... but again he was being hypocritical.

He was going to politely decline the offer of pizza that came next, citing the old argument for not swimming on a full stomach, lest one risk cramps, but since nobody seemed to be in a hurry (and Robin wasn't mad at his being so far from his post), maybe he would hang around a bit longer before setting off again anyway. Either way, he didn't feel like he had the heart to say no to the food when Robin was kind enough to offer one of his final slices.

"Can't say no to pizza," He said cheerfully, helping himself to one of the remaining slices, "As long as it's not anchovies. Thanks!"
He bit into the slice, savoring the cheesy taste. He'd only recently discovered the joys of junk food, since taking residence with the Titans East, who were quick to introduce him. Since then he'd been wary of the side effects of too much of this kind of thing going into his carefully honed body, but he couldn't deny the taste. Delicious.

Chewing his second mouthful, Aqualad looked up as he heard the sounds of wave movement being disrupted. Just a boat coming into harbor. It was a short way off, but his keen senses allowed him to hear that kind of thing easily, even as the large boat - the kind made for shipping cargo from one place to another - had only just peeked into view.

Turning his attention back to his two companions, he sincerely hoped they would both join him in pizza time, otherwise his standing there and eating would just be awkward.
"So," He said, addressing Robin, because it was easier to start a conversation with somebody he knew than the person he didn't, though he had no intentions of excluding Sonos, "No villains destroying the city to deal with today? That makes a change..."

[Sonos]

Curious, Sonos watched the two interact. Obviously, they had known each other for quite awhile. Were superhero circles really so close? the blue-haired girl contemplated this momentarily, before shrugging it off. As the two continued speaking, Sonos turned her gaze out to the ocean, trying to see if the cargo ship was coming in yet. What on earth was taking it so very long? Not that she minded waiting, it just wouldn't be any fun if the ship didn't come at all. Raising her blue eyebrow, she turned her attention to Aqualad. "You're from Steel City?" She questioned curiously, though still in a polite tone.

Once again, her attention was soon diverted when Robin pulled out a box of pizza. "Oooh." She cooed in wonderment. She nodded at his offer, smiling in gratitude. "Why thank you for sharing." Gently, she removed a piece from the outstretched box. Holding the crust with one hand and propping the slice up with the fingers on her hand, she took a bite. It was quite good. So good, in fact, she was led to voice this very thought. "It's very good." She stated simply after chewing and swallowing the bite of pizza. After doing the same to a second bite, she questioned Robin. "What are you doing here, Robin?" Sonos asked, referring to the docks. She was eager to keep the conversation going until she had something to do. Until the boat arrived.

As she listened to Aqualad speak to Robin, she also heard something else. Sonos too, noticed the water movement, and turned her gaze off into the sea. To her delight, she saw the top of the cargo ship, coming in fast. The blue-haired girl contemplated her next course of action. It wouldn't be easy for her to complete her goal with two heroes around. Not that avoiding them in the first place would've made it any more easy, though. Besides, when tasks were too easy, they were boring. It would be much more fun to have someone to play with while she wrecked the ship. Oh, how ironic Aqualad's last words had been. So ironic, in fact, that Sonos found it difficult to resist the temptation to reply to them, even if they hadn't been addressed to her. So she didn't resist. She ate the remains of her pizza and spoke.

"I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful for too much longer, Aqualad." Sonos said, with a still polite, but now eerie smile. "Remember earlier when you asked if I was waiting for boat?"

[Robin]

Robin looked down at the box after two slices of pizza were taken by both Aqualad and Sonos, which left him with the last slice. Taking the last savory piece into his hand the Boy Wonder held the box at his side as he consumed the pizza at a slower pace than usual, as if trying to hold onto its cheesy goodness for the rest of his life. From his brief glance it appeared that the others were enjoying their food as well, then again practically everyone likes pizza.

Barely a minute and a half passed before the former protege finished his food. Raising a hand to wipe away unwanted crumbs he heard a particular implicated message directed towards him, "Yeah Aqualad, it's been pretty peaceful here," he said, turning ninety degrees to face the last bit of dock that led to the endless blue waters, ears acutely discerning a familiar creak breach the normal sway of oceanic sea, to recognize a ship pulling up. Ships were always coming and going at regular paces, transferring cargo for the many people of Jump.

After properly disposing of garbage, arms folded across his chest and the male breathed a sigh out into the cool air, thoughts wandering to the serenity established in the city as of late. The soft pitch of chirps belonging to seagulls along with the incoming ship pervaded the area, along with the rustle and bustle of civilians passing through all contributed to the well being of the team leader. Eventually it was all going to come to an end, and Robin accepted that wholeheartedly. Being a hero meant an active sacrifice of being a normal teenager in a normal world, it meant risking your life for the proper establishment of peace. In the midst of his thoughts he barely even registered words belonging to the blue haired female, "I'm just taking a break, then its back to the tower to crack a case," he said, his back still turned away from her, pensiveness still written across his face through and through. Disturbed airs whipped at the teen's titanium cape, lifting it and tossing around as the ship peered closer and closer to the wooden stables.

The Boy Wonder promptly turn half-way to face a certain person upon hearing her foreboding words, causing hairs to bristle and stand on end, arms loosing themselves as they came down to his side once more. Suddenly, Robin became very aware of the oncoming boat, though he refused to drop his gaze away from Sonos either. "What do you know, were you waiting for this boat?" The interrogative question broke free from Robin's swirling mind, piercing the calming scene with a near accusatory tone as he jumped into their side conversation.

[Aqualad]

"Yes," Aqualad replied to Sonos' first question about his coming from Steel City, "I'm a member of the Titans East. We're kind of a... subgroup." He explained, before taking another bite of pizza.

The fact that Sonos was clearly enjoying the food as much as they were put him at ease somehow. It must have been to do with that uneasy feeling he'd got about her before. Somewhere in the back of his head an idiotic voice yelled 'She likes pizza! She can't be that bad!' Besides, she contributed to the conversation perfectly politely as she inquired as to what Robin was doing here today. It was a little strange to see the Boy Wonder in something approaching a state of relaxation, but his reply reminded Aqualad of how he usually was. Back to work after a moment's breather.

"That sounds like the Robin I know. Never off-duty for long. This city would probably fall apart if you were..." He was only half-joking. The Teen Titans were as much a part of the safety of Jump as the local police force... probably more. He didn't like to think what would happen if Robin wasn't there to lead them. Still, he figured that kind of work ethic would come with the rest of the superhero deal, especially considering Robin's once-mentor. He felt suddenly thankful for Aquaman.

He finished off his pizza just as Sonos spoke up again, and as he swallowed and dusted off his hands he couldn't help but frown a little at her statement. There was something in her tone that wasn't quite as neutral as she had been so far... and that smile... He knew he wasn't imagining things this time, as Robin spoke up in reply to her before he could do the same. Aqualad looked to Robin, the concern mixed with confusion visible on his face and only worsened by the accusatory tone of Robin's query. Leaving Sonos with Robin's question, he then turned again to look at the ship that was quickly approaching. What did she mean by 'not peaceful for too much longer'? Was there something on that boat that there shouldn't be? Or was it...

His dark eyes drifted back to Sonos, and now he didn't bother trying to hide the suspicion in them. What was going on here?
