#until little alyne bursts in carrying a bucket full of sea water and some weird thing she found in the bycatch

[attractthecrows]

entertaining myself by inflicting bastard children on my faves

#its fun #warthrop and will henry go to the gulf coast for some reason #COINCIDENTALLY to the same shitty little seaside town that alyne's mom moved to when she left boston #shes like dropping hints that she fucked pellinore at least one time and he does not notice #until little alyne bursts in carrying a bucket full of sea water and some weird thing she found in the bycatch #marches right past all of them to dump it into a fish tank and starts poking it with a swizzle stick #(i cant decide if this is like a sea star or an urchin or some sort of cephalopod. or maybe a lionfish) #pellinore's like Who The Fuck Is That and alyne's mom goes My daughter! I had her after a rather interesting night with you in Boston #you should introduce yourself :3 #oh who's the father? you're the father you forgetful tease. altho i suppose you were drunk enough not to remember our tumble #and pellinore is like THIS CLOSE to blowing up on this woman for lying but now alyne's noticed and is staring silently #with her dark owlish eyes #just WATCHING. analyzing. #and he goes What?????? no. no it cant be. are you certain????????????? No I refuse to believe it come along will henry #alyne's mom is like NO YOU PRICK COME BACK HERE and alyne just goes They'll be back. dead certain #but more importantly look at this fucked up fish i found mom i dont think its native. the fishermen said they're poisonous #does that mean their skin is poisonous or is it just the spikes??? #the fishermen said they're more common in the caribbean than in the gulf but now they're in the gulf more #so they're spreading!! isnt that cool??? #and alyne's mom cracks open a beer because that encounter was fucked up.
