Gavin didn't seem to be effected at all, mostly because Gavin already had interests in a particular someone and even though the particular woman was not present, Gavin was certainly thinking about her. Some people called it sad and pathetic, others called it romantic and sweet- it was open to your own interpretation. "If you'd please follow, there's a ship waiting for us." He politely awaited recognition that Mizuki indeed intended to follow before he started walking along the docks towards one of the large ships that were there. Hey- wait! Gavin said there was no room for Perth! Gavin lied so that Perth would leave! It seemed that there was no politeness to be spared for Perth.
Though one could argue that Perth kinda deserved foul treatment.

Mizuki nodded and followed Gavin tho the ship. She felt bad for Perth, but continued along anyways. She climbed up the ramp that led onto the boat, wind whistling all around her. The sheets flapping noisily around her. The ship was beautiful and humongous, glorious. Mizuki had only been on a ship once before and that was to arrive to this country. Her ponytail fluttered behind her, strands wisping across her face. She waited to be told what to do, looking up at the dark night sky. She felt comfortable on the ship, at home. She turned her head slightly glancing to see if Perth discovered the ship.

Perth was nowhere to be seen.
Gavin sat down on one of the wooden benches, the mist beginning to creep over the ship, giving it a rather creepy feeling about it, Gavin honestly couldn't wait to get to Twilight Moon Academy where it would be safer for his student. Perth could be more closely watched there and so he wasn't as much of a threat either. "Don't think that Perth is anyone to feel sorry for." he said, as if he was reading Mizuki's expression, his hand reaching to the flute at his waist and he took it out, inspecting it for a few moments, perhaps he was going to play something, though you couldn't really tell at the current moment, he made no movement to place the instrument to his lips.

"Yes, sir." This is the only response that Mizuki thought of giving. Perth was different, and she did feel sorry for him. She wanted to be his friend, but he was a teacher and she had to think of him as such. She continued to stare at the night sky, waiting. She was a bit curious as to what the flute could do. She knew that it wasn't just for music, obviously. She Sat down on one of the side benches, crossing her legs casually. Her thick eyelashes batted a few times, covering her glowing eyes.
She heard the ramp being pulled away by a few men, looking in her direction. This was typical to her, the gawking was quite annoying. She got used to it after a few years, but usually still stared down anyone. The glistening water shone bright under the moon. The boat started to glide, peacefully.

Gavin looked over the water for a moment, his eyes stopping in the direction that could be guessed to be Twilight Moon Academy, he then raised the instrument to his lips and began to play, the sound started off as barely audible, you wouldn't know it was there if it hadn't been for the dead silence and then the crystal sound from the flute grew, intricacies laced into it as the song became more melodic and complex, twisting with a life of it's own as it rolled from Gavin's fingers through the little pads on the instrument untill becoming sound to grace through the air.
As the ship continued on it's way the deck became more and more less trafficked untill after a few minutes it seemed as if Mizuki and her teacher were the only two left though the song had plenty of life to make up for the silence. The notes twisted and danced into the ears of whoever dared to listen to the one instrument symphony, Gavin's eyes closed as he played and a peaceful expression placed on his face, one of his hands dropped from the flute and he committed a feat described as impossible, playing with one hand and without missing a note, his hand working double time to make up for the loss of it's partner in the music making. The song was art that could sadly not last long, it would of course end when they reached Twilight Moon Academy, this gave the song more meaning though, it seemed to trill with it's short existance, enchantingly flying through the air and begging one to listen on and let the music enter thier minds and souls, calming them and making them happy.
This was Gavin's magic, music. He didn't play at the current moment to bring pleasure to anyone else, he played this song for it's effects on the mind, calming and making one pleased. It was like some kind of therapy, the infectingly wonderful song that lifted someone's spirits whether they wanted it to or not.

Mizuki stared off in the direction of Twilight Moon Academy. The sound of the flute flitting by her ears, calming her. She twisted out of her sitting position and laid on her back, her knees bent. She closed her eyes, listening to the music. She was enveloped in it, she felt calm. Perth was out of her mind, her thoughts only trailing with the music. She heard a few of the men sighing, focusing on the music. Mizuki felt tired, which was very odd. Being a vampire she lacked the need of sleep. Her throat burned a little, she was thirsty. Her hand elevated from her stomach and clutched at her throat. Her eyes opened wide for a moment as a slight shock went through her heart, calming the thirst. Her eyes then closed again, her hand dropping to her stomach once more. She felt something furry upon her stomach and opened her eyes to see what it was.

Nothing was there on her stomach of course, atleast nothing that Liz would have be there, the music continued to drift and even the sighing of men had ceased so there was only the wind, the water and the music all together in perfect rythm and Twilight Moon Academy was growing ever closer, it seemed as if Perth was left behind in the Ghost Shipyard. Gavin was still playing the music, completely still except for the slightest swaying with the music and his hand over the flute, he figured they were almost to TMA now... so he should finish up the song now and so it started to slow a bit, becoming a tad more quiet and not as rapid, a few sorrowful notes pulling from the instrument almost to reduce someone to tears untill the trill came dancing to an end and Gavin opened his eyes. He paused, looking around, "Where'd everyone go...?" he asked, standing up and looking around the ship, there was nobody... just Gavin and Mizuki. The sailors whom were supposed to be tending to the sails and general deck duties were gone.

Mizuki remained still even after Gavin had addressed her with a question. She was playing back the notes in her head. She felt limp, and relaxed. Her head was pounding from being thirsty. Then a thought rushed through her brain, would she meet other vampire? Or was she alone at this school? She arched her back for a moment, her chest elevating. She then laid back down, softly humming back the tune to herself. She then responded after a huge delay.
"Not sure, too busy listening," Mizuki said softly, her soprano voice chiming. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, the sails flapping loudly. No one was tightening them down. She then opened her eyes for a moment, nobody. Gavin stood tall where he was, but the other fifteen men were gone. Her eyes scanned the whole boat, her ear listening intently.

"I relieved them of duty." Came the familiar voice, Perth's voice. "Thanks to my cunning and skill I have come to-" he paused reaching for a metal plate of sorts, grabbing it and throwing it behind him with more force than deemed neccesary- it was hailed by a clanging and the sound of something thumping against the deck- apparently he'd just knocked someone out, "I have come to own this lovely little boat here." He smiled, obviously quite proud of himself. "Now then, my dear... where shall we be headed?" Perth glided over the planking of the boat's deck so he stood next to Mizuki, one hand placed on her waist, the other on her shoulder, "Resume course, I would assume." he smirked, his feline ears pricked at odd angles with each other to give him a cocky and endearing appearance.
Well, someone didn't find it endearing. "Perth! You're going to explain all of this to administration, good luck with the paperwork as well." All of the calming effects of the music had worn off on Gavin, especially now that he noticed the ship was moving away from Twilight Moon Academy, Perth had changed thier course. Had that damned werecat taken leave of his senses or something of the sort? Then of course the worst thing was that Gavin had absolutely no clue how to sail a ship, presumably Perth did... and hopefully Mizuki, because otherwise they were royally screwed. "Now if you'd please just... jump off the side or something productive like that." Gavin shook his head.
Perth paused from his seductiveface staring into Mizuki's eyes to shout over at Gavin, "If I leave then you have no clue where you are- you'll also have nobody to operate the ship." He retorted triumphantly, Perth was pretty damn sure he'd beaten the damned fae flutist. Perth, such the mastermind, the brilliant, wonderful werecat- at least in his own mind. "Now then, my dearest." He smiled to Mizuki, awaiting to see her reaction, "It's not too late to request me as your master teacher. I can assure you that I can teach you more than Gavin or any other teacher here can." he whispered, running a hand gently through Mizuki's hair, his eyes glimmering with meaning and damn Perth knew how to lay on the sexy when he wanted to, he was Perth... he wouldn't have the reputation he did if he wasn't capable of laying on the sexy.

Mizuki was happy that Perth wasn't left behind, but she felt kind of uncomfortable that he was her only option. He was all over her, she liked it. She knew she did, but she also knew it was wrong. She tried to think back to the day when she first sailed. She closed her eyes, vizualizing all of the men working. She didn't want to answer Perths comment of him being her teacher at that exact moment. Though she without a doubt knew that he would probably become her proffesor either way. She opened her eyes and left Perth's side. She went toward the steering wheel and turned it full to the starboard side. The boat turned almost immediatly. she felt free at the top of the boat deck. Her hair flapping behind her, wisps across her face. She locked the wheel in place and returned to the lower dock. She saw the glare Gavin was giving Perth, the usual.
"I think we are on the right course for now, all I know is how to steer. not mending the sheets. . ,"Mizuki stated, worried about the sudden overpowering wind blowing the boat to the right. She stared at Perth, a bit of a smile lingering on her lips. She probably didn't impress him much, but she tried. She decided that a fight would no doubt arise between Perth and Gavin, so she retreated to the bow of the boat.

"Perth, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here bu-"
"Well that's good, because that makes two of us." Perth inturrupted, his bright green eyes shimmering, he walked towards the mast silently, looking up at the sails, his eyes running along the ropes, "Also- on a note... do you know how to use the sails...?" he asked, looking towards Gavin, obviously overlooking that part of controlling the ship when he cooked up his little plot.
"Perth!" Gavin shouted, exhasperated and angry, pushed over the edge and looking murderously at Perth. He raised the flute to his lips and began playing, this song different, a steady rythm in the tone and the water around the ship started to shift and drift over the water, Gavin's eyes were open now, rather than closed like with the former song, he glared at Perth, refusing to take his eyes off the werecat. Getting lost in these waters was a bad idea- you might wander to Black Lake... and even worse, it was a full moon. So he wanted to get to Twilight Moon Academy as soon as possible. There were angry and malevolent spirits in the water that were getting more restless with every passing moment. The song that propelled the ship was tiring, not in the way that made you sleepy, it was in the manner that sapped your energy and made your muscles ache, sweat beaded on Gavin's brow as he continued through the song, looking like he was going to collapse, his vision falling in and out of focus. The more the work done through a song the more it would effect the people around- though most of it was fealt by Gavin, for everyone else it would likely only make them feel like they'd spent a day walking around a theme park or something, a little sore in the legs and really sore in the feet.

Mizuki was unaware of the situation that was occurring on deck. She was staring out infront of the boat, towards Twilight Moon Academy. She heard the music start playing, and waves crashing into the boat. She clasped her hands over her ears, wanting no business with them. She heard nothing. Only the movement of the boat, the sudden slam of the waves. Her red eyes were shimmering with the light of the moon. She hummed a sad tune slowly, just glimpsing forward. She was thinking about the two teachers, which one she would choose. Her arms buckled and she leaned them on the wood. She softly ended the song, a pout on her face. She closed her eyes, and remained leaning over the front of the boat. Her hand made a sound like the ocean, she listened softly to it as they drifted, and drifted.

Gavin stumbled as a wave hit the side of the ship, they were already headed for Twilight Moon Academy and it was visible through the mist and needless to say, Perth took advantage of the moment, moving accross the ship silently, grabbing some rope, his eyes watching Gavin whom was going to pass out any minute. Yep, everything was turning in his favor. He grabbed the rope quietly and walked back over the Gavin whom was far too tired to defend himself, he scooped the teacher over his shoulder, quietly tying his feet together with one end of the rope.
"Perth... what are you planning on doing...? Because I can guarantee you that you'll lose your job if you do this." Gavin said, his voice drowsy and he sounded like he might of been beaten to a pulp or something. He made not a single sound as he was tossed off the side of the ship, there was only the thud of him hitting the side and a little grunt, "Perth... pull me back up." he commanded tiredly though it was unlikely that he'd be heard and as a wave crashed against the side of the ship it engulfed him, and he was brought back out of the water as the wave receded from the side of the ship.
Of course before Gavin was thrown overboard and out of the way, Perth had tied the other end of the ship to the mast so that he wouldn't fall all the way down and drown, Perth didn't want to kill Gavin, just keep him well out of the way for the time being, "Mizuki, do you need any more help choosing your classes?" Perth called out, flopping down on the deck.
Gavin's flute slowly started to slip from it's pocket, the little silver instrument that would not float if it fell into the water, Gavin's eyes were wide as his hand raised drowsily to grab the precious item, the one thing he still had of home and once it was in his hand again he smiled with relief as another wave came over him, nearly drowning the poor man. Yeah, Perth should get fired for this and Gavin didn't even want to know why Perth needed to be alone on deck with Mizuki- Gavin just knew it had to be stopped.

Mizuki was staring out off the bow, hands clasped over her ears. She felt the boat go back and forth, a slight vibration panging the boat. She thought it was just a rock on one of the sides. She leaned forward a bit more, her chest laying on the tip of the bow. Her butt was pushed back so her stomach was flattened. She stared down into the water, the white surf bubbling as the boat moved forward. No one had come to get her, so she thought they were still ranting. A sigh was let out, breath trickling down her neck. She removed her hands for a moment, leaning down to remove her shoes.
She touched her toes, knees bent a little bit. Slipping off the black leather boot and the black sock underneath. She was getting a little overheated even with the wind hitting her face. She unzipped the front of her suit down to her chest and folded it back a little. She let her hair free and it flew back instantly. She walked forward to the bow once more, and covered her ears once more, listening to the ocean inside her palms.

Perth shook his head, sitting down on the deck, his eyes following the rope that ran accross the ship to the mast where it was tied... the likelihood that it would go unnoticed wasn't likely. But what could Perth say...? He had to get rid of Gavin, it was just convenient that Gavin would set the ship in motion for TMA and exhaust himself, thinking that Perth had enough decency not to do something idiotic. Well, Perth was an idiot, and rather proud of that fact believe it or not. He stood up now, setting off to find Mizuki whom-was-not-Lacey, his green eyes looking around quietly untill he saw her and smiled, walking over quietly, "Well, Mizuki... We're on our way to Twilight Moon and I have to wonder... have you decided on a teacher yet?" he asked, his voice clear and not likely to be unheard by the student as he stood next to her, a bit of a smile on his face, but not a perverse one... he just seemed relatively calm. "I would love it if you'd choose me as your master teacher..." he said, looking towards her, his hands gently removing Mizuki's hands from her ears so they wouldn't get in the way of talking, "It would be a great pleasure to see you every day for class." he said with a gentlemanly ring in his voice as he took one of Mizuki's hands and kissed the back of it, his bright magic filled green eyes looking up at Mizuki's eyes the entire time. Meanwhile... Another wave crashed against the side of the ship, propelling it onward to Twilight Moon Academy and once again nearly drowning Gavin whom was hanging upside down on the side of the ship, already seeing dark blotches in his vision from the blood running to his head. He was generally waterlogged now and still too weak to climb up the rope. Perth was going to die as soon as Gavin managed to get himself free. He just had to hope that Perth wouldn't cut the rope or something idiotic like that. Gavin held tightly onto his flute so as to not lose it and he closed his eyes, holding his breath as another wave came at him and slammed him painfully against the hull of the boat, likely bruising his entire side and he struggled to keep ahold of his instrument. This was one watery hell that he wanted to be done with as soon as possible.
