All Aboard the Night's Victory (RP Thread)

Sage sat in the captain's quarters. Her eyes gazed a absentmindedly over a map that lay on the desk. She listened to the noise of the crew outside the door. Her crew. She gave a slight smile. They were all she had. They had become her family and life. It wasn't exactly a happy family in all ways. They were violent and stubborn at times, but still a strange sort of family in a way. They were all she had now. It was a good life for her. She sighed turning her eyes back to the map.

Nathan stood out on the deck gazing over the rail of the ship into the bay waters were they were anchored in. He snorted watching the waves hit the boat slowly rocking it. "Ugh," he muttered under his breath. He basically hated most things. Including this boat. It was the most hated thing though so it was ok.

Nathan glanced over at Caspian for a moment before turning his attention back to the water. He didn't know who this guy was. He scuffed his feet on the deck. He didn't really enjoy other people. They were often too quick to judge and always bossy and rude. It was common among pirates anyways. They were pushy and never respected privacy. "Nothing really," was his quick short answer. "Nothing interesting for that matter." Nathan looked back at Caspian for a moment. Well he assumed he was a crew member. One of the first to talk to him.

Sage stood up from the desk as two of her crew members entered the room. "One moment Celeste," she said to her navigator. She turned her focus on Helgraf. She pondered the information. "They most definitely should have returned by now if not a while ago," she said her eyes narrowed picturing what could have happened. "Did you know where they were trying to sell? We had best go after them. I don't want them to in anyway get involved in anything, nor do I wish to lose good payment."

Nathan gave him a brief nod of greeting only being half polite for he didn't quite look directly at Caspian. "You're right to assume I don't know you," he said. "Nathan. I'm Nathan." Nathan silently hoped that this Caspian fellow would get his fill of talking and move on soon. He was too cheerful and welcoming. Normally that wouldn't be a bad thing to most people, but considering Nathan trusted no one, in his eyes even these types of people could easily only be seeking information.

"Nothing is illegal for a pirate," scoffed Sage. "Let's get together some of the crew to go and find them. We had better do it quickly. If they are caught who knows how long it will be before they give away some information they shouldn't." Sage moved around from her side of the desk over by Helgraf. "And I think next time we shall send out more reliable men with our source of income."

Caspian smiled at Nathan now instead of grinning at his own joke. "Well if you have any foods you would like me to cook for the crew, or just for you just ask! I don't mind." Examining Nathan more carefully he felt like he was making him uncomfortable. "Am I bothering you, Nathan? I don't mind leaving you to be alone if I am." Maybe grabbing some tea for Nathan was a good idea along with some for the captain and others, it would also be a good excuse for talking to the captain about the garden he wanted. Possibly he should save it for another time? The captain could be busy at the current time and not be able to worry about Caspian's gardening wishes.

"I'll let you know on the food thing," said Nathan. What he said was odd for Nathan to hear. Normally it was the other way around, that Nathan was bothering others. He enjoying being a bit of a bother. It taught people to avoid him and his temper. Nathan just shrugged in response to the question of if he was being bothered. Of course he wanted him to go away, but he didn't exactly state it aloud.

"Quite the true statement," said Sage agreeing with him. "I expect that who we choose to go after them will not end up in the same situation. I don't want to be losing anything today. We certainly can't afford this right now." The last part was in more of a hushed tone to herself. The ship's income hadn't been that great as of lately and she hated to lose what they would get profit out of. "We had best head out right away."

Nathan listened to Caspian's footsteps retreating. He gazed for a while back at the water then decided he should probably do something productive. He wasn't sure how strict this ship was. How harshly did they punish? He knew nothing. He was always trying out new ships with new crews and new captains. All ships were different. He never seemed to stick around on one for very long. He always moved on to something else, but a pirate's life was all he knew.

Sage nodded to him as he walked out. She trusted Helgraf to pick good men who would recover what they needed. She knew that if they got back what they were seeking they would probably be noticed still. They had to be ready to move the ship out of this port. She then she turned to Celeste. "Now what can I help you with?" She asked. Sage wanted to make sure any crew member with a issue could come to her. She was glad when they did.

OOC: Goodnight! This will be my last post also. I'm tired. Must endure more school tomorrow, but no drama practice.
