Ouragana says a clear "thank you" to Killia as she accepts the wine. She samples its flavour before setting it on the table before her.

"Thank you." Arei echos Oura, getting her glass and sipping it slowly.

Val gladly accepts the wine, slugging it down in one gulp, setting down the glass for a refill. "Thanks."

Entering the conversation, she comments "I assume no talk of orcs is a lack of experience there."

Jocelyn takes the glass of wine, and sips at it before she sets it on the table. "You slept with a vampire?" she asks. "Why would anyone sleep with the undead?"

"Personally you are the first Orc I have met that wasn't trying to kill me, sex wasnt really on the cards." Arei grins, "I got my blade from an orc."

"Yes, you slept with a vampire? One has to echo our young cleric and ask why?"

"You didn't grow up with your own kind?" Terra asks Areilon. To Val, she adds, "Yeah, same here. Most orcs I meet just want to kill me. They hate dwarves as much as they hate elves."

"As for the vampire, well, it's not something I set out to do," she explains. "I had been kidnapped by a Greymantle; you've heard of them, right? Well, this one in particular was looking to build a harem; and lucky me, I was among the chosen. We were on some shore leave, and I was walking out at the docks at night. I guess he had been following me for awhile. Got me with his gaze; I was helpless to resist. I followed him right back up to his boat where a half dozen other girls waited, all enthralled."

"Luckily, I was able to track her down," Sierra adds. "I called in some favors and we were able to break into the ship."

"Couldn't kill him; he just turned to mist and flew off," Terra continues. "But we managed to loot his boat; I snatched that urn. Apparently it holds the ashes of his sire."

"That fight was brutal," Sierra says. "Even with a dozen warriors helping me, we only just beat him. Even then, I still think he only left because the dawn was coming."

As they talk, Killia places everyone's plate before them at the table. Each plate holds a couple of fried fish, some spiced potatoes and carrots, and some bread. Realizing that Val has already drank all of her wine, she quickly refills her glass, as well.

Ouragana takes the time to thank Killia for the food before she joins in the conversation.

"I've heard that Vampires are quite remarkable between the sheets" she says. "Only topped by jinn, they say in my hometown."

"Thank you." Arei says to Killia accepting her plate.

"I left my people about the time I got interested in the opposite sex, so humans were a good outlet." She grins, "What an interesting story, sounds like you are lucky to survive... And you had a good night, lots of stamina... I guess orcs would be the same?" She asks, motioning to Val with her fork.

"Is there any chance he might come after you?" She asks Terra.

Jocelyn nods her thanks for the food. "Interested in becoming a woman in the vampire's harem, Areilon?" she asks. "Besides it being a good night, it was probably a dangerous night too. He could have easily turned her into a vampire."

Sierra chuckles at Ouragana's remark. "What town are you from where having sex with Djinni is common? Never encountered one myself, but we did run afoul of a Marid once. Damn thing nearly sank our ship."

"Probably," Terra admits to Areilon. "We have enough enemies as it is. But hopefully even the Greymantles are smart enough not to attack a vessel of this size. Then again, if they were to all band together...but they've never done that, as far as I know."

She nods to Jocelyn. "Yeah, we were lucky that time. I don't think being a vampire would suit me much. I like sunbathing too much to give that up for eternity."

"Oh, I didn't say it was common" Ouragana laughs, shaking her head. "It's just the rumor that's going strong. No idea if there's any truth to it."

"Just sounds like an interesting experience." Arei says blushing, she would never let herself be dominated by another again... Would she?

"You have had lots of interesting experiences, it seems, they pale ours to be honest." Eating slowly she sips the wine, realising it was all gone. "Good wine."

"Obviously so," Sierra replies to Areilon's comment about the wine. "You and the half-orc are draining them down like fish." She gestures to Killia, who refills Areilon's wine glass.

"As for your adventures, well, you're all young. I'm sure someday you'll have some amazing tales to share yourself. Until then, why don't you tell us about what adventures you have had so far," the captain suggests, before stabbing a potato chunk with her fork and popping it into her mouth.

"Sorry." She blushes, feeling reprimanded. "I suppose the story of how we ended up here would be the best to start with?" She motions to Jocelyn, "Perhaps Jocelyn should tell the story, we will add details as required." Arei suggests.

Val digs into the food. pausing after a bit to drink the refilled wine before setting down the empty glass once again. She thinks better about asking about more.

Sitting back for a bit she listens, all this talk is beyond her experience.
