[It's lucky they've kept the Boat in the backyard; he might have resorted to typing out Bruno's name in an increasing whine if he'd had to wait much longer.
The Boat looks good. It looks really good, actually, now that the final nail is hammered in and the paint has dried. It's a brilliant blue with golden trim; it's polished and waxed and looks just about ready to sail. They'd finished up last night, save for one essential addition. Polnareff had waved Bruno off for that, wanting to do it himself. You said you wanted me to name it, he'd said, and that had been that.
It's just a little past dawn. That ought to be symbolic, except the backyard is in the west and the sun rises in the east, so there's no actual light shining on the boat. But there ought to be, because it looks majestic, especially with the name that's painted carefully on the side.
FIS CODFATHER, their second child is named, and Polnareff's grin is somewhere between proud and utterly delighted.
(It was going to be FIS(h), but that likely would have been pushing it).]
