Ropes.

Of all of the things he could have taught him, he just had to teach him how to use ropes.

It started out innocent enough. He'd loop someone's ankle while they were walking and get a chuckle out of it. Good clean fun and all of that. The Galley-La boys got ideas when he started getting better at it, making bets on who he could rope, from how far away, how quickly. Pauly couldn't resist a few paper bills dangling in his face. And, of course, a little liquid courage didn't hurt.

Then someone had the bright idea of betting him to rope the mayor in the middle of the night. Sure, Iceberg had a sense of humor, but this just didn't seem like a good idea. All it took was Lulu reaching into his pocket and pulling out another bill and Pauly was running down the street to the mansion.

Before this, he never would have guessed that Iceberg slept naked.

This was months ago. And the visits had pretty much been nightly since then.

It just had to be ropes.

Iceberg shook his head while catching sight of the window out of the corner of his eye. The ropes would be drifting through any minute now. He was pretty sure this should go against some kind of rule. Good thing he made the rules.

And it could have been worse. He could have taught it to Tileston.
