Voyage of the Horizon Seeker

[HorizonsDream]

Imani can't help but smile at Ulster's reaction, and then giggle lightly at Malika. She wasn't quite expecting that reaction one bit, but it made her feel good. "Hi, Ulster," Imani says, playing casual. "Are you okay?" she asks.

[Jerrard]

"May I introduce Babushka, Ulster Redbow, Thuskar Duggan, Imani Mehmet, and Malika." The Mage points to each in turn, "And Locky is somewhere." He adds.

"I will offer my aid, my friends will aid me." He glups at Imani, turning his attention back to the Captain.

[JadedDM]

"Wha? Me?" Ulster asks, turning back to face her, remembering why he turned away in the first place, and then immediately turning away again. "Oh, yeah. Fine. Great. Umm...and you? Did you...need to borrow my cloak or anything?" He coughs, unable to look at her directly, but stealing glances now and again furtively.

"Welcome all," the captain says. "I'm happy--wait, did you say, Malika?"

Malika, who had been distracted by Imani and Ulster, only now snaps her attention toward the captain. "What? Oh, it's you."

The captain chuckles. "Well, well, the Rose of the Desert. How in the world did you escape Wahid?" His smile suddenly vanishes as a thought occurs to him. "Hmm, if the khan finds out you escaped on my ship..."

Malika makes a dismissive gesture. "You're in no trouble, Imaran. It was Wahid's responsibility. He probably won't even report it to the khan for fear of getting into trouble himself. The khan would be furious that he let me get away."

This seems to relieve the captain's concerns. "I suppose so. I hope so. I need to still do business in that area. Well, no matter. What's done is done, eh? Just stay out of trouble, won't you? Don't even consider using your powers on my crew."

Placing a hand to her chest, Malika says innocently, "Why, dear Imaran, I wouldn't dream of it!"

[Jerrard]

Jerrard looks away a moment, aware he should have kept his mouth shut. "Wahid was an evil man." He comments after a few moments, "Any trouble will be on me." Trying not to look too possessive, Jerrard keeps his distance.

[JadedDM]

The captain laughs heartily. "By the gods, what tale did she spin to have you think so?"

"Shut up, Imaran!" Malika hisses, glaring daggers.

Holding up his hands defensively, the captain says, "Very well, very well."

[Jerrard]

"No one is perfect." Jerrard answers, somewhat disturbed by this conversation. "Whatever happened in our pasts is irrelevant in the future."

[JadedDM]

"So true, so true," the captain says. "In any case, breakfast will be soon, should you wish to partake. It's nothing fancy, but it is edible. For the most part. If you should need anything, just let me or my first mate here, Orin, know," he adds, gesturing to the minotaur.

[Jenara]

"Thank you, we will help where we can, I would be keen to learn the 'ropes' as it were." Jerrard smiles, looking around the vessel. "To make myself useful."

Locky sits by herself, apparently singing, she swings her legs and appears to be adjusting her clothing.

[JadedDM]

"As long as you can help us take care of those outlaws, you'll be plenty useful to us," the captain says.

As Locky sits there, singing to herself, she hears someone approach her from behind.

[Jenara]

"You have my word." Jerrard responds, "Be that as it may, i would still like to learn something of sailing."

Locky turns quickly, looking to see who is behind her.

[Breila]

Babushka is all eyes and ears to take in the situation. As the crew is composed of humanoids of various sizes, she is not sure if she has to pretend to be a child any longer.
When there is some time, she approaches Imani. "You have a very nice-looking body, Imani. But it is your decision how much you want to show of it. There is a middle ground between what you're used to and what Malika wears. I'm skilled at making clothes, I could make you something you like, that makes you look good without distracting the men all around." She herself has kept the wide top of the desert clothes, but taken out her red, flower-printed babushka skirt. It's a little crumpled, but a nice change nevertheless.

[JadedDM]

Locky turns to find three sailors, two men and a woman, all wielding belaying pins.

"Well, well...looks like we got another kender stowaway what snuck aboard," says one.

"They're like cockroaches. Always getting into our cargo," says another.

The three advance on her.

[Jenara]

"Oh hello, well actually I am a passenger on board, I came on with the others." Jumping to her feet she gives the three of them a little wave.

"Jerrard!" She shouts, not scared more just a little concerned she might be in trouble. "A little help please." Her Medallion is clearly visible where she has unbuttoned her shirt.

[HorizonsDream]

"Borrow your cloak? Why would I need to borrow your cloak?" Imani asks curiously before she looks down at the gnome. "Um, thank you?" she says, clearly a little confused.

[Jerrard]

"Ulster, Thuskar.." Jerrard shouts grabbing the two warriors by the arm, moving towards the other end of the ship and towards Locky's shouts.
