"Your father's a merchant in town, right?" Daus asked, forgetting what Erikos had told him earlier as he watched their father begin to unload the cargo from the ship.

"Yep. He used to be more in the merchant business before he met my mom, but he still does a lot of stuff in exchange for antiques. He uses the lookout as a sort of storage unit thing for all his collector's items," Erikos explained

"Is he ever going to show anyone the…antiques?" Daus asked, referring back towards the old relics that Erikos had shown him earlier, like the Stargate from the lost civilization.

"Nope. He keeps them all locked up, way away from anyone else. Though sometimes I see strange people that don't…feel quite right come by to talk about artifacts and things. I don't think my dad's ever given them what they want, though," Erikos said. He watched as his father unloaded the last of the crates before walking over to them and tossing Erikos the keys to the boat.

"You know the rules. Back before midnight, no drunk driving, and no crashing," his father said, pointing a finger good-naturedly at him before disappearing inside the lookout

"Don't feel quite right? Do you think that they can use the artifacts for other purposes…like some type of magic like Vien?" Daus added on, finding the conversation a tad interesting as he waved bye to Erikos' father. He knew that they should probably be relaxing, though the topic made him curious.

"Oh, I'm sure of it. Some weird chick in a cloak swung by once a couple years ago. Really weird vibes, you know? But I think she was interested in the stargate or something like that. Mythical artifacts and stuff. Though I'm surprised no non-humans have popped in to steal stuff yet," Erikos said as he began to walk towards the boat

"It's honestly no wonder that a lot of odd people have come by over the years…the stargate seems like something that they could honestly use, or something that even gods or other odd creatures could too," Daus answered, nodding in agreement as he glanced back towards the lookout. It would honestly be terrible if someone ever took the stargate and decided to use it for other purposes.

"Oh, yeah. I'm guessing my dad's got some sort of protection spell or something around the lookout, but I'm not sure. I bet they just don't want to mess with a family that has a half demon, a witch, and a spirit," Erikos chuckled as he walked up the ramp and onto the boat

"Life tip of the day; don't mess with a family full of supernatural people!" Daus exclaimed as he walked up after Erikos, balling his fists up and putting them up towards his face as if he were ready to punch at someone. He probably looked like a dork, but he didn't really care what he necessarily looked like when he was around Erikos

Erikos laughed loudly as he looked at Daus. "Oh god help me, you're too damn cute for this world," he said, laughing as he nearly had to stop and lean against the railing of the boat

"Cute? I was going for a fearsome, warrior aura," Daus answered as he motioned to himself, dropping his hands back to his sides as he pouted jokingly.

"Nah, you're way too cute for the whole warrior thing," Erikos said, righting himself as he waited for Daus to get onto the boat. Once he did he lifted the walkway up before walking towards the front of the boat

"One day, I'll be six foot and have a six pack, then I'll be a warrior. Watch it happen, Erikos," Daus replied, chuckling a bit as he crossed his arms over his chest. He walked onto the boat, leaning over the edge as he studied the water for a few moments.

"I will pay good money to see that," Erikos laughed before walking towards the anchor. He pulled it up before walking into the cabin, where he put the keys in the ignition and started the boat

"Oh please, everyone will be all over me once I'm a bit taller. Then you'll be begging to just kiss me," Daus teased, a small, devilish grin crossing his lips as he looked towards Erikos. He laughed softly, returning his gaze back towards the water.

Erikos scoffed at that. "Bitch, please. Just wait when I die some crazy, valiant death and come back the most badass water demon you've ever seen. You'll be begging just to walk on my shores," he countered with a laugh

"Oh trust me, I'll be begging for more than just that," Daus answered, smirking faintly as he looked towards Erikos. He usually didn't flirt that often, though at times he tended to do it every once in a while, usually around people that actually liked him.

Erikos' eyes widened a tad at that. "Ooh, someone's gears are going. Might have to hold onto that little thought, because I might just let you have a free sample," he purred with a wiggle of his eyebrows before laughing

Daus rolled his eyes faintly as Erikos wiggled his eyebrows, instead, turning his attention to the water as he laughed softly. Though, he felt his cheeks flush at the thought of Erikos actually agreeing to that.

Erikos laughed a bit more to himself as he began to pull out of the river. He was a little bad at driving the boat in shallow water, but once they got out of the river and into the ocean he was rather good at driving the boat

Daus walked towards Erikos, watching as they drove the boat out into the ocean. It was amazing that Erikos was so versatile, since he was almost sure that if he tried driving the boat, he would crash it.

Erikos eventually reached over to turn on the old radio a few feet away from the steering wheel. The radio began to play somewhat upbeat music, and Erikos hummed along as he drove the boat further out to sea. It was a nice night, the last of the sun's rays peeking out over the horizon while the moon was high in the sky

Daus leaned his head against Erikos' shoulder as he watched the other drive the boat out into the ocean, chuckling a bit when they began to hum. "Y'know, these past few days remind me of how much I've missed out on just by being a god. It would be nice to just be some carefree suburban guy," he spoke up, glancing up towards Erikos.

"Well, you're pretty far from the suburbs right now, but I understand the feeling," Erikos said, smiling warmly as Daus put his head on his shoulder. "I mean, I've lived on the river my whole life. All my friends are over on the island, and no one but me has to take a boat out to get to the store or anything."

Daus nodded faintly in understanding, a small, lopsided smile crossing his lips. "I guess both of us have missed out on a few things then," he answered, chuckling a bit as he rested his head back against Erikos once again.
