Making your life more complicated was what friends did. How did Marcel not know this by now? At least Shane was keeping out of it, going about his own business as Wesley followed the youngest to the storeroom.
Of course, Wes only taunted him because he loved him. His own brothers could attest to that. It was what the deGrey did, and he truly did wish to help the kid out. Just maybe bringing him to a fancy party wasn't the way to do it...it would just be very interesting to see.
"Oh, they most certainly do love me..." Not. He chuckled lightly at the thought of the castle staff before the humor dissipated a little, recalling the muddy mess he probably made running through the halls after the chase. Oh yes, they probably really hated him...
Catching the rope as it was tossed to him, he chuckled lightly as he moved to hang it where Marcel indicated. "I'm just tryin' to help," he said, sounding a little more serious than before. "Why are you even still here? All of this can wait a couple of days- you should be getting out because, I assure you, there's more to see than just this ship."

"Out?" Marcel turned to look at his friend with his hands on his hips and an exaggerated look of disbelief. "Have you met me, mate? I don't really do 'out.' Even before I met you lot, I only ever went to and from work and home. And seeing as things at home are a little touchy at the moment, I'm not in any mood to spend time there." He shrugged and went back to straightening the shelves.
He wasn't sure what had done it, but Naomi was in the gloomiest mood he'd ever seen from her. She was sulking around the house, not even going out and having fun with her friends like she usually did, or taking on any extra work. He wasn't sure what it was, but something had her all worked up. And on top of that, Maman was all in a tizzy about Yule needing to be perfect and making everyone spend time doing the perfect things and his father, as usual, was overworking himself and ignoring the fact that he was old and ill. It was better for everyone if he wasn't there--so the obvious answer was to be here.

'I don't really do 'out'.'
"Precisely why you should try to, see things, live a little...y'know-" Wesley just offered a waving gesture of his hand as if that explained exactly what he was trying to say. What Marcel said about his home, though, had some of the humor slip away from his expression.
A furrow of his brow, Wes was clearly contemplating whether or not to ask him about it. Maybe it wasn't his business, but, as his friend, perhaps it was. Or, at the very least, the right thing to do was ask just in case. So, he went with option two and hopefully wasn't stepping on any toes.
He paused in his work (not that he was doing a terrible lot to begin with), and regarded Marcel. "You...want to talk about it?" He wouldn't push him about it, obviously, but he was willing to listen if Marcel needed it.
