The old pirate had never been more confused in his life. Magic? Not being a mage...?
"Shellie..." Grant said, quietly, not particularly wanting to get between Shellie and her father. He'd do it if he had to, but...
This seemed like more a family matter.

Shellie decided instead to push the conversation along. "My dad was one of the High Warlocks when he was younger."
"Shellie--"
"It was prestigious, for a... lower-ranked family like us."
There was a pregnant silence before Shellie grabbed Grant's hand tightly. "Come on." She said and pulled him away from her dad.

Grant squeezed her hand back, running his thumb along her hand. He said nothing, and simply allowed Shellie to drag him away.
He usually put up a joking fight when she tried to drag him along places, but even he could tell when a joke wouldn't be appropriate.

Shellie pulled Grant away from her excited family until they were in a relatively secluded spot. She breathed heavily once or twice, squeezed his hand hard, and then let it fall from her grasp.

Grant was led away from the excitable family members, and was instantly worried. He crouched down, putting himself on Shellie's eye level.
"You alright love?" He asked, resting a hand on her shoulder, squeezing reassuringly.

"Ye don' 'ave te be sorry love." Grant said, his voice soft. "Are ye' okay?"
He was worried about a lot of things, but Shellie was usually the more level-headed of the pair. Seeing her like this worried Grant greatly.

Grant shook his head. "I don'." He said, rubbing her back softly. "We don' 'ave te get inta this righ' now, if ye don' want."
