"I know, right?" Cas yawned and stretched, still very slow and sleepy. "Whenever I wake up, I just wanna go back to sleep…"

Nick smiled and shook his head softly. “Well, we can’t waste too much time sleeping or we’ll never find any pirates.”

He nodded a bit and swung his legs over the side of the bed, wincing. "What should we wear? I've still got my own princey shit around somewhere if we really want the pirates to know who we are."

“I think for today we should just look for the right people,” Nick suggested. “So we wear the princey shit tomorrow. Today we can just keep doing what we have been.”

Cas nodded and got up, popping his back with a grimace. "I'll probably steal one of your hooded somethings then. I gotta hide my hair somehow."

“Okay, works for me. Though we can always buy a hat, you know,” he added with a smile.

"I suppose so, but that wouldn't be any fun, would it?" He went into Nick's closet, looking for something to wear.

Nick chuckled lightly. "Whatever you say," he replied, getting up and washing his face.

"What would you prefer that I wear?" Cas asked, picking up a couple things.

Nick shrugged. “Whatever you want. Today what we wear isn’t too important.”

"Alright…" Cas pulled on a large hooded jacket with comfortable pants, turning to show Nick. "Acceptable?"

Nick nodded. “That’s good.” He smiled at Cat before sifting through his clothes himself.

Cas pulled his hood up and sat on the bed to wait for Nick, humming softly to himself.

Nick found a baggy shirt and pants, putting them quickly before turning to Cas. “Okay, let’s go.”

Cas nodded and carefully followed him out of the castle. "Where to first?"

“I was thinking maybe a pub or something? Where exactly does one look for pirates?” Nick wondered aloud.

"Pub sounds good, but I dunno if we'll be allowed in. We're not of age." Cas said pointedly.

“I’m tall, so maybe I could convince them?” Nick suggested, his argument quite weak. “I don’t exactly know where mercenaries and pirates tend to spend their free time.”

"I definitely couldn't convince them…" Cas sighed. "I look like I'm twelve. Maybe we could find people skulking about in shady alleys?"

Nick shrugged. “Perhaps. Or maybe in the back corners of the marketplace or the festival? Maybe in the fights? That always attracts strange people.”

"Maybe we should just go and figure it out on the way?" Cas suggested, shrugging a bit as well.

“That works. There’s no need to waste a lot of time debating what to do when we can go headfirst into this whole endeavor,” Nick agreed.

"Let's go, then." Cas took Nick's hand and walked off towards the market.

Nick scanned the booths; they all looked normal enough. He realized that he had no clue what “abnormal” would even really look like, and he glanced at Cas to see if he was registering anything out of the ordinary.

Cas looked back and shook his head, bewildered. "Do we just… like… ask anyone if they've seen pirates around?"

"Sounds like as good a plan as any," Nick replied, glancing around. "Who here looks as if they might know…?"

Cas shrugged. "Maybe we could ask as if we're concerned they might be around so we know where they are? Then we could ask anybody."

Nick thought for a moment before nodding. “That makes sense,” he concurred, taking a deep breath as he spotted a gentleman they could possibly start with. He glanced at Cas in question before flicking his gaze back to the man.

He nodded a bit and followed Nick over to the man, keeping his hood up and staying quiet to lower his chances of being recognized.

“Good day, sir,” Nick began. “We have heard wind of pirates in this region? Is that true?”

The man raised an eyebrow. “Why do you kids want to know about pirates?”

“We’re concerned. We’re not from here, and we want to make sure there’s a safe trip home.”

“Bah! I don’t know anything about pirates! If you want, you can ask the fella who keeps talking about the sea, or the lady who sells candles. I think she’s hiding something,” the man replied.
