October 14th 1776

Night's family finally arrived. I didn't expect them so soon but then I found out the ship set of at the end of July.

He has a wife and two children. his wife was a moon-faced young woman by the name of Maria. She had blue eyes that made me cringe. They were so similar to Sea's. His daughter was his oldest, sixteen. Her name was Emilia and she had the same cringe worthy blue eyes and had night-dark hair like her father. Finally, there was his son, Allard. His eyes weren't blue and his hair was a bland, lifeless brown.  

"Are there even enough rooms in this house for us," Emilia asks. She has a strange accent.

"Yes," her father says. "Although you won't have a room all to yourself." She huffs. "Then who am I sharing a room with?"

"You'll be rooming with Alice." She gives a disgusted glare at me so I give her a fake smile back.

"Then who will I be rooming with," Allard asks. His accent isn't as strong as Emilia. In fact it seems as if it's only an act.

"Alexander, the blond haired man," Night responds.

"To be exact, it's straw colored," Straw mutters to me which causes me to smile. Emilia walks up to me and tells me to take her to her room. I keep my manners and kindly oblige. I even grab a few of her bags.

"Ugh! There's only one bed!" She throws the bags she carried onto the bed and sits on it. The bed, that is. "Well, I don't know where you're sleeping because I'm sleeping on this bed."

I look childishly at her and use the sweetest voice I can manage. "I was hoping that we could share a bed."

She laughs haughtily. "In your dreams, American! I wouldn't dare share a bed with the daughter of a dead broke back!"

That makes me cringe. I drop my sweet facade. "I don't like you," I say simply. Then I walk away. "Poser," I mutter under my breath. It's only a mild slur used to refer to the British. I could've said worse. I could've called that posing British floosy what she really is... a bitch.
