[PQ] one more for good luck

JACK

They all swarm to help Melita (except you, Zeph) and Jack - naturally - watches it all with amusement, leaning against the mop and admiring things from afar. "Try harder!" he suggests to the honeybee girl, only to see his newest crew member go scuttling up the rope ladder, and the tell-tale wind currents from Saiden whip past to help out. Surreptitiously (because he's not an idiot), the captain adds his own air magic to Saiden's, buffeting his efforts.

And would you look at that - it fucking works. Aurelia's appearance in the crow's nest, snapping and grabbing at the baby wyrms, does much to dissuade them from their assault. She gets a hold of two of them, flinging them away, and the rest soon follow. Their shrieks and croons are very upset indeed, but with the nest empty, Melita will have little trouble getting herself back up there. Close call, that.

"Well, since you're up there, clear that nest together!" Jack calls, before eyeing where Zeph is stitching sails with predictable aplomb. "I knew askin' you was a good idea," he drawls. "Once the girls are finished, we're all done I'd say. Grab a drink on me."

Congrats, crew! We did it! Melita and Aurelia manage to scare the wyrms away, and just need to get rid of the nest before they can relax. Saiden helped to get Mel back into the crow's nest, and Zephyr was successful (of course) and stitching up the sails.

Please leave a finishing post, and we are done!
