Different story? Ricky stroked at his chin curiously. Oi wonder just 'ow much Gale keeps t' 'imself. He had to admit Gale was indeed a rather curious one now that Ricky paid more attention to the matter, he'd never really questioned how little he knew of Gale because deep down he felt like he knew Gale already. Like a lot. Why else wouldn't he have been named Godfather to Martin, other than the fact Gale had been enough times to not only show he cared for Ricky, but in turn actually protected the most important things in the fisherman's life. That's right. Gale protected Telion and Martin that day, even when his child was unborn it was still waiting to be brought out into this world.
The fact that happened was due to the actions Hannah and Gale took to protect Telion that day, where as she would've been killed in cold blood all because of a few spiteful pirates in need for revenge. That alone was what made a difference in ones life, that alone demonstrated how much love one can have for another in terms of friendship. For Ricky that kind of love was rare, being the one who'd lived a life with tragedy off and on. The occurrence of such things was what made life seem hard, yet when something such as an act of love saved the very things that were worth living for... that alone gave Ricky the courage to be who he was today, to stand up as a guardian for the city. To protect his family and friends so that such love and hope may yet live, as well as in turn serve for an example of what it represented. Those were one of his many reasons for being a part of the Wave Guard now, and he wouldn't have it any other way now that he was officially a father.
As Ricky took Martin back from Gale's arms he couldn't help but notice though, the puzzled look in the face that hung there like a portrait on a wall... There was something bothering him. Gale that is. What exactly was it? Did he want to hold Martin a little longer? Did Ricky offer to take the child back too soon or was it something he said? The fisherman wasn't sure but the contemplative grin he held in watching Gale vanished, as concern filled with the replaced expression that followed. Did he offend Gale?? He wasn't intending this. Certainly by no means did he... where did he go wrong? "Gale? Did Oi.... say somet'in? Er... Was ya wantin' t' hold Martin a while longer?" He sighed as there only appeared to be silence to follow, unsure as to whether or not he should continue to prod or... leave? No. He couldn't leave on a sour note, that would just end badly somewhere along the lines.
Ricky looked to the door and noted that it'd been open, thus decided to take the first leap in trying to share personal things with Gale. Not personal things like... well what other men (particularly sailors) shared to one another, but more or less personal things like what a family would share. Thus the fisherman took to stand on his feet and shut the door quietly, a pained expression on his face as he tried to figure out where he went wrong in the attempt to learn a few of the more withdrawn things about his close friend. Once the door had clicked shut, Ricky himself sighed as he looked down to the child in his arms. He'd hoped not to show what he was about to reveal to Martin especially at a young age, then again what was a baby going to do to a secret that should be kept hidden?
No. What would transpire here would remain as such a secret, and in turn Ricky wouldn't expect anything out of Gale but remained hopeful to the cause. The fisherman was determined to try and see if the artist would finally open up to him. "Look Oi take back what Oi said if it offended ya, really Oi'm not wantin' t' pressure ya int' anyt'in mate. Like Oi said, Oi 'ardly know anyt'in personal bout ya. So instead o' forcin ya t' go first, maybe Oi can 'elp ya find de courage t' share somethin. Just... don't freak out on me okay?" Ricky asked as he mustered up the courage to pull into his reserves of Djed finally, he wasn't entirely familiar with it but as he tapped into those reserves he felt it. The course of Djed that was inside his body.
It was faint for sure but each time he thought to practice a bit of Reimancy he would find himself somehow attuned to his Djed, but only slightly since he was still unaccustomed to it. Ricky brought his free hand up into a sort of craned position where the palm faced up towards him, from there he focused on the channeling of his Djed and pushed it towards the center of his palm. From there he willed to create Res as he pushed the Djed out through his palm, and in turn started to create a grape sized royal blue sphere that slowly grew in size, until it was the size of an apple at least. From there Ricky transmuted the outer layer of the ooze into water, as it coated the sphere in a liquid that flowed around the outer layer while the core held it in place.
It was a method that had little complication but required dedication for Ricky, as he allowed the small water sphere to levitate above his hand to where he could exchange glances between it and the artist that remained on the bed.
