Nerys herself was given the paper. Oh yeah those guard captains. Oh my gosh! Maybe she could visit the royal palace! Though it's probably in chaos right now. She would adjust her hat, slip on some nearby slippers and then roll up the note to head off. She would salute to Andy and then run outside to leave the place. She knew she would be safe, as long as she had that note with her.
Godwine perked up a bit when they mentioned food and she chuckled. "Oh of course not! We have so much right now. It's homemade beef stew. I figured the guys could use the potatoes and I didn't want them to sprout and rot. It would be a waste in this cold weather." She would hop to the kitchen and make a bowl. "Would you like some, Your Majesty?"

She nodded, understanding Andromeda's point. Maybe she was being harsh, assuming the man to having motives for not opening the store. She didn't like thinking ill of others, and was a little shamed that she did.
She watched as Nerys was given the letter and took off. She was a sweet girl, very happy too, it seemed. She turned to Andromeda as he read her mind on the food issue, and smiled inwardly, glad she didn't have to ask. "That sounds lovely, thank you, Godwine." She accepted the offer, and would quietly follow behind Andromeda to the dining room.

Regardless of if Ben wanted to keep fishing or not, Ceph would take the rather large load of fish that they had caught so far and was walking back to the ship. If Ben wanted to stay, he'd leave the basket and rods, and simply carry the fish via a metal chain he designed with hooks for very that purpose.
Due to a fishing mishap, Ceph's shirt was ripped pretty badly, so he wasn't wearing it. Just his boots and his pants and she climbed up the side of the airship and into the warmth of the cabin, fish in tow.
"I can catch ‘em shallow, I can catch ‘em deep, open water or the back of a creek. The wind, the rain, to me it's all the same, I make a living playing this game. I thank the Lord above every time I can, I get to be a fisherman!~" Cepheid belted out as he stepped into the kitchen, fish in tow and no shirt, and stopped short as he saw Andy sitting at the table with the Princess of Seria.
"..........."

Benedict felt that was enough fish for the day, and enjoyed spending some nice quality time with his uncle. Honestly he never got to anyway since Andy was always breathing down his back. Though it didn't help that Ben accidentally fell in the water and he was now dripping wet, holding a fishing rod and had a bit of a sunburn, so he was just as sorry as Cepheid when he walked to the ship carrying the basket of fish. It was ironically very plentiful and the people would love to have something to eat at this season.
He skipped behind Cepheid, singing the same tune, however he bumped into Cepheid and then rubbed his head, before he noticed what Andy was doing. That is... with the princess of Seria.
"Aaah!" Ben dropped his basket of fish and immediately kneeled. But then looked up. "Cepheid! Down!"

As soon as Godwine fixed them their meals she would leave them be and go to her room to giggle and ship those two together. Yes she was a weird romantic. Either way, Andromeda pulled a seat back for her and sat her down, getting a couple of spoons and forks for the both of them. He sat down and then started to eat, or would until he heard his brother and his son's voice singing. And come into the kitchen. Shirtless and wet. Andromeda just stared at them, forcing himself not to groan at their appearance, before he spoke up.
"... Sup?"

With a word of thanks, Ieaeka sat merrily at the table and ate, quite pleased with the fare. It was simple but filling, much less heavy than the fare at the castle. Real home cooking.
She gave a confused expression as she heard footsteps and two voices singing loudly about fishing. Then, suddenly, two men burst in. One soaking wet and sunburned and the other shirtless. She brought her hand to her mouth to hide her smirk of amusement as she saw the two men scramble to kneel before her. Must not giggle!~
"You may rise." She said after a moment. "You must be Cepheid and Benedict? Andromeda has spoken of you most fondly." She reported. "Never in all my days would I have suspected that Andromeda Callidum would have a twin, yet here he stands."
She'd keep an expression of light amusement as this exchange continued, repressing giggles.

Ceph's mind blanked for a moment, but after a bit of a scramble he knelt as well, at least until he was given permission to stand, and he shuffled slightly, rather embarrassed that he was so exposed to a person so regal.
"A-Ah, your Majesty. Ma'am, hello. I mean, good afternoon, ah..." Awkward Ceph strikes again! He looked to his brother. "Andy, are you really eating lunch with the Princess of Seria, or did I get stung by a jellyfish and I'm hallucinating?"

Benedict rose up when she spoke so, and he then stared at Andromeda like he was a creature from another planet, that is before he finally picked the basket of fish up and then quickly put it on the counter. The young man was just as confused as ever and he had to get those pieces put together before something stupid happened. Like... oh he didn't know. Andy COURTING the princess.
"Please do not tell me you are courting the princess, Dad." The priest spoke up. That is before he stammered when Ieaeka mentioned him. "A-ah yes. My name is Father Benedict... Callidum. I-I manage the church down the main street out of town in Seria." Seriously, how did this happen?
".. Did Hell freeze over and I wasn't told of this?"

At least Miss Ieaeka ID'd them quickly. Either way, Andromeda snorted in amusement when the two scrambled to bow to the princess before going into a really awkward maneuver of asking questions and being generally surprised that a pirate was having lunch with a princess. Well, it was pretty odd, especially since she wasn't resisting. Either way, the man grinned at his son and brother as they sputtered.
"No you're not hallucinating, and if Hell froze over we'd be dead." That was his comment. "Yes, Your Majesty. Our resemblance is uncanny." And now for small talk despite the situation. "So how much did you catch?"

Ieaeka giggled lightly, unable to help herself as Andromeda spoke to his son and brother.
Though her laughter cut short as Benedict made his suggestion, and she made a strange expression. "I do not see the public, nor mine father, approving of such an arrangement. Andromeda and I have only been acquainted for a couple hours regardless." She then addressed Ben and the man became instantly flustered. "I see. My blessings, Father." She smiled lightly. Clearly the sire did not always make the son. Metaphorically speaking.
She'd glance to Andy. "I believe your relatives need some explanation." She said simply with an amused smile.

"Y-Yes Ma'am. I'm Andromeda's younger twin, Cepheid Matthias Callidum. An honor, ma'am. I beg forgiveness for my state of dress. I wasn't expecting someone of...your caliber to be at our dinner table."
He was flushing greatly, and glanced to his brother. "Ah! Quite a bit. There's more than enough for us as well and the others; the Shards and the Rosins, for a couple days." He counted Caden as one of the Shards at this point. It was only a matter of time before Julian signed the adoption papers, he was sure.

She seemes amused, which relaxed Benedict a bit. He was still soaking wet though so he grabbed a towel to quickly dry off, and then tries for the next five minutes to try and flatten his hair and look presentable to the lady. which failed miserably because he sadly got Andy's hair genes. He also made a mental note to steal some of Andy's hair styling products. When Ieaeka denied the possibility ofthem dating, he let out a breath.
"Okay, that's a relief. I was scared for a minute because, just like you said... there'd be an uproar. An even bigger uproar than there is right now." He smiled when they mentioned the fish though, Ben was proud of the catch they had. "There's been a real nice upwell of fish from the waters below thanks to the winds blowing parallel to the coast."
he would quiet down and look at Andy expectantly to listen to what he had to say on how he met.

Andromeda just stared at Benedict by the slight suggestion that he was dating Ieaeka. Yes she was beautiful, but she was so far off of his league he knew there was no way he had any chance with her. Even if he stole a kiss from her, that's nothing compared to dating or... the one thign Andy is horrible at, commitment. Especially since it wouldn't be to just Ieaeka, it would be to the entire Kingdom.
"... Yeah, the logic in that hurts. Because I'm pretty sure Seria doesn't want a pirate hanging around their princess." He muttered.At least the news about the fist was good and he brightened up quite a bit about it. Certainly that would hold them off until food and medicine shipments came in.
"... Do I have to explain?" he glanced at Ieaeka, and then grumbled. "Okay, Her Majesty's carriage was broken and the horses ran off. The driver waskilled by a bunch of bandits and I happened to walk in on the middle of this. Naturally, I was being a pirate until I found out who I had, and almost got caught by those bandits who I'm going to shoot if I ever see them again..." He omitted the part where he tried to steal and then snogged her. That was a mutual agreement between them to never say in public, ever. "And now I have to take her to where she needs to go. It's on me, guys."

"It is quite alright, you had no way of knowing." She soothed to Ceph, before casting Andromeda a glance. He seemed a little offended, but she wasn't sure on how to go about calming him without making it come out wrong. Even if there was an attraction WHICH THERE WAS, she'd never be allowed to act on it.
She sat in silence as the men spoke, and once she was sure attention was off her for the moment, she returned to her food and took the last few bites of it before it got cold, setting her spoon in the empty bowl once she was done and gently pushing it away.
By that point, the conversation was just ending on the explanation on the fact that Andromeda would be escorting her.
"Speaking of. Should we soon to depart, or is there things yet in need of doing?" It wasn't a pushy question, it was just a general inquiry.

Ceph relaxed some and explained on their catch of fish, excited. Ceph was, deep down, a fisherman. He laughed at Ben and put his arm around the other's shoulders. "Look'it this guy, born fisherman. Never woulda' thought he was yours, huh Andy?" He'd grin.
Though when Andy explained the situation and said that he'd be taking Ieaeka alone, Ceph felt he had to object. "Andy, are you sure going alone is wise? I mean, there are better alternatives..." Such as taking the Super arrow disguised as The Star Man and his assistant. Though that would reveal one of the most important things to the royal family, and the risk associated... Still, it was safer than just Andy and the Princess going who knows where.
Still, the Super Arrow was a Truesdale ship, it was possible that not even The Star Man would be able to avoid trouble.
