"Fay then," Desmond conceded, following her over to the railing, "I meant whichever you prefer, or both. I confess that my idea of a sailor doesn't look like, well, you."
Â
He gave her a sidelong glance. She reminded Desmond of the women in the plays he read as a boy. She was ethereally beautiful, like some benevolent fairy. Except the only thing fragile about her was her sense of decorum.
It was then that he realized he had been at the railing for some time now without getting a cold shiver run down his back. It was a welcome revelation.
"Anything you can share with me about the sea I would be grateful for, Fay." His red eyes scanning the horizon. "I've much to learn still."

-The speaking of pirates made her a little green under her eyes, her ears tilted back trying to ignore the talk about them. Finally seeing Xhi'li move she looked up to the captain from her small stature. She nearly dropped her pouch as she stepped forward leaning her axe on her shoulder careful not to hit Monty behind her as she spilled the contents into her palm and held out a pile of gill in her palm as she offered it up to the Captain. Looking roughly about 1000 Gil.Â
"Is this enough?"
Frankly this was her first travel alone, usually her traveling companions babied her with the details. Her bangs slightly covered her right odd white iris as she look so naive and innocent regardless of the thick layer of armor. She moved naturally in it though as she smiled a little hoping she wasn't offering to little. She didn't have much to offer, but from her act many would never guess her actual skill with the large axe. Though she moved the weighted thing like it weighed nothing but a chocobo feather.-

Tyriont smiled softly at the girl, noting how easily she carried around that huge axe of hers. Oh, how deceiving appearances can be, he thought with a slight chuckle.
"Aye, lass. That'll do just fine assuming you know how to cave a skull in with that axe you're carting around if we run into any trouble. Not that I'm expecting any, mind. Still, more the merrier, eh? Welcome aboard." He waved her aside and signaled for the next person to approach. As he did so, a cry came out from the Hyur woman he had earlier identified as Hana.
"We be underway, ladies! Man yer stations, we'll be arriving at Limsa before the bell strikes midnight!"
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Xha'li Moui - 08-13-2013
At a signal from a redheaded Elezen Xha'li followed her below decks, catching the captains claim that they'd arrive before midnight as he descended the steps. Arriving at the ships infirmary he set his pack down by the door, he gestured towards his patient who they'd picked up on the way and said, "Get up on that table so I can get a better look at your eye."
FADE TO BLACK
Emerging back on deck Xha'li took a deep breath of fresh sea air. The Seekers eye was a total loss, but he was able to prevent any major scar tissue from forming, as well as getting the skin and muscles to loosen up preventing future pain and soreness. With another deep breath to clear the last clinging scents of medicine from his nose he went over to the railing and sat down, dangling his legs along the side of the ship.

“Half†she almost snorted. “I’m sure you’re better than that. Plus you give me that feeling thatyour word is worth something to you.â€Â Givinghim a smile she turned her attention to the captain who had his hand was now outstretched in front of her. “Captain, I believe this will cover my passage and if you have a bottle of wine tucked somewhere there might be more.â€Â She dropped a pouch with heavy clink in hishand. “One thousand seems to be the going rate unless you want to negotiate a reduced cost due to use of my services†she said indicating nodding towards her harp and bow.
Siuane, turned and watched the dark haired man who hadspoken up for her earlier. He wasattempting to hold his own with a blonde woman.Â
The man was losing but keeping up a good fight. He’s got spirit she thought.  Taking a moment to look at the woman shethought, it’s already a lost fight. Ehby the twelve I’ve got nothing better to do for the moment and she strode over to the opposite side of the man.
“It’s Desmond, am I right? I wanted to tell you thank youfor speaking up for me. “
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Tyriont - 08-13-2013
"A thousand will do fine, lass" Tyriont took the pouch with a smile. "Like I told the other, if we wind up needing your services as we go, I'll discount the rate." He called out to the others. "C'mon, don't be shy! Who's next up?"
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - AFriendOfAFriend - 08-13-2013
Monty stared after the woman - Si, he thought, easy enough to remember - a moment, still uneasy over her words. He supposed he would be keeping full watch on her, if only to make sure she didn't try anything. He sighed again. All he'd wanted was passage to Limsa, was that so much to ask?
Shaking his head he stepped up to the Captain, fishing a small purse from his coat as he did. He wanted to squirm as the man's attention fell on him, but knew better than to show weakness to his type. Monty held no ill will toward privateers, but the dance you had to do around them to avoid a blade in the back could be a bit tiresome.
"Eight h-hundred," he said, holding out the pouch. "Half now, the other half provided I'm, um, not dead by trip's end. I was in the Navy, in... hah, in another life. If you need a, uh... a spare deckhand, just say the word."
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Rue - 08-13-2013
-Walked a bit away, her ears turning to listen as she looked out across the water. Of course from the safety of inner ship. Her hands carefully placed her axe along her back. Keeping her hands free, and her tail always seemed to tick for balance. She felt the saunter of green leaving her cheeks as she settled to stand against a wall, and admiring the beauty of the water.Â
Her mind seemed to wonder and distract from the fear that ebbed at the back of the small Miqo'te's mind. Her armor fell silent with the lack of her movement, as she found a bit of peace for that moment. Her fingers where before her still holding onto her satchel where she had just barely managed to stuff her pouch into.-
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Desmond Aryll - 08-13-2013
Desmond was scanning the horizon, and concentrating on the perpetually roiling water, the low roar drowning down the boisterousness of the crew when a familiar voice spoke up beside him.
“It’s Desmond, am I right? I wanted to tell you thank you for speaking up for me.“ She flicked her tail, punctuating her remark and smiled. It was the female Miqo'te from the rowboat, up close Desmond could appreciate how pretty she was.
'Why is it that pretty girls always bring out the boy in me?' he lamented to himself.
After a moment Desmond composed himself and returned the smile, "It was my pleasure, miss -..." he realized he didn't know here name. He cocked his head and glanced at the harp underneath her arm, slender fingers arched as they rested on the smooth wood. "Are you as an accomplished singer as you are a threat to rowers, miss?..." he asked her quizzically.

“It’s T’Siuane Raih’li but that is such a mouthful, most justsay Siuane or just Si. As for singing, most appreciate my abilities. That man did not quite appreciate my need to catch this ship.â€Â
Siuane looked over at the blonde hyur woman. “But where aremy manners, it is Fay is it not?â€Â Shemade a small bow. “I’m not interrupting anything am I? The sea is beautiful but a little conversation is always nice and the rest of our compatriots seem quietâ€
"Now all we need is a little something to eat and drink."
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Xha'li Moui - 08-14-2013
Glancing over his shoulder Xha'li saw K'ahrue back in the middle of the ship. Figuring she was still uncomfortable at sea he decided to take his advise from earlier and try to strike up a conversation to distract her. Jumping back onto his feet he made his way over to her completely at ease with the sway of the Flame before sitting down by her and saying with a grin, "K'ahrue right? That's a Seeker tribal name right?"
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Tyriont - 08-14-2013
Tyriont regarded Monty curiously. He wondered how this nervous wreck of a man could ever have set foot aboard a ship before, let alone been any kind of sailor. Still, he'd seen his share of poor traumatized sods in his time, could be any of a number of things that'd stolen the man's guts.
"Done, lad. Don't worry, I ain't planning on anyone dying before the trip's out. Got a route that's away from where the rest of...where the pirates tend to prey, should be a simple enough trip. Like I said, only a few hours. What can go wrong, eh?" He smiled warmly, trying to be encouraging. "Next up!"
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Rue - 08-15-2013
-Found her name pulling her from her lost in thought face and looked up towards Xha'li, then slowly nodded. Her tail curled shyly around her legs as she sat there.
"Aye."
Her ears tilted forward slightly as she wasn't used to converting with people outside of her tribe. She tilted her head slightly. Though she had never seen a Keep before she noted his feature being different from other Miqo'te she seen before.
"Are you a Keeper?"
RE: All Aboard! [open to all] - Xha'li Moui - 08-15-2013
"I am," Xha'li said, his tail waving back and forth so it was briefly visible over either shoulder. "Xha'li, third son of Xha Moui retired adventurer at your service." Grinning and revealing his fangs he continued, "Fresh out of the tribe I take it? Hope it was under better circumstances then how I left last harvest."
