Blaine chuckled and shook her head. “Andion was telling me one that I think you might like. Let’s see if he’ll tell it to us again when he gets back.”

William shrugged a shoulder, "If he doesn't… if he doesn't then you have to do a back flip."

Blaine’s eyebrows shot up. “And what makes you think I can do a backflip?”

"I dunno, you seem like the type of woman who could do something like that." He replied, resting his head against the pole behind him.

“Smart kid,” Blaine chuckled. “Unfortunately, I don’t have enough room to do one here. Maybe after we dock I can find a place to show you.”

"Hm… you've got yourself a deal." William stuck his hand out for a handshake.

Blaine smiled and took his hand, shaking it before she let go. “Now… I wonder where Andion is. How long does it take to grab some books?”

Andion came up a few moment later, rubbing his head a pouting, looking a lot like a kicked puppy, "Sorry… fell up the stairs…" He mumbled.

Blaine blinked, her smile growing on her face as she chuckled. “How did you manage that, love?”

"I was reading, okay? And not looking where I was going so… I missed the step…" Andion's pouted deepened a little.

“You shouldn’t read and walk at the same time, Andion. Especially up the stairs,” Blaine laughed softly, reaching up to kiss his cheek.

Andion mumbled something in audible and blushed slightly in embarrassment, "Yeah yeah… anyway, let's sit and I'll find a story."

Blaine chuckled before nodding her agreement. “Sounds good. I think I saw a good place just over here…”

Andion looked over to where she was suggesting, an empty part of the deck and nodded, "Looks good."

Blaine swept a quick kiss across his cheek before grabbing his arm and leading him over. She glanced over at the kids, smiling at them.

“You two coming?”

Lily beamed and nodded, skipping over and sitting in front of Blaine. Will huffed a little and reluctantly followed, mumbling something under his breath.

“What was that, William?” Blaine asked, quirking an eyebrow at the boy. “I didn’t catch what you said.”

"I said that this is stupid." William said a little louder, sitting down.

“Oh, this is far from stupid. Come on, just listen. Andion is a great storyteller,” Blaine declared, squeezing her love’s hand.

Andion chuckled softly, flicking through the pages of his book, "I wouldn't say I'm a great storyteller, that's a bit of a stretch."

“Well, you’re a great one according to your girlfriend,” Blaine said, poking him in the side playfully as she smiled up at him.

Andion chuckled softly, batting her hand away, “Alright alright,” He flicked through the pages of the book before settling on one.

Blaine leaned into Andion’s side as she listened to him read. She could never get tired of hearing his voice, especially not when he was reading a story.

Andion has picked a story he knew would interest William as well as Lily. One with dragons and battles as well as princes and princesse. It was a story he found dish for have much meaning but was still entertaining for the children.

Blaine looked up at Andion as he read, just as enraptured by the story as they two kids were. A smile stayed on her lips as she listened intently to what he read.

The story was fairly long and in places, slightly boring but Andion tried to make it interesting, using different voices and actions. But soon enough, the story was over.

Blaine reaches over and gently squeezed Andion’s arm, still smiling up at him. “That was a good story, love. What did you two think?” she asked, looking at the kids.

Lily grinned up at him, "It was amazing! W-When the prince slayed the dragon and then went to battle the villain for the princess! It was great!"

Blaine chuckled, nodding her agreement. “Yeah, that was pretty cool, huh?” Her gaze shifted to the older sibling, and she raised a brow. “William? What do you think?”

William just shrugged and drew circles on deck, "It was alright." He mumbled.
