Welcome to Gaia! ::

(It's been two days realistically, I should've added that in my posts. )

Arc lowered his claw gauntlet clad hands and glanced back at Syori begging but gave up before ten seconds and turned around to catch her hands in his. "I'm sorry, also your dinner is waiting, you need food I forgot." Turning back to Asimo his tone changed to commanding and angry. "Get out, now."

Asimo gave him the bird before breaking the window and jumping. "Seeya you over-caffeinated pyscho!" he said as he seemed to disappear into the ocean. "Guess I'll start plan B now." he thought to himself.

Loda went below deck, walking to a locked door that he had the key to, taking out the skeleton key decorated with a wing on one side of the head of the key. The door opened silently and he walked down a pair of dim lighted stairways. Another door unlocked with a key shaped with the moon and suddenly the place was filled with light, tanks and pulleys and other devices looked important in their positions. Loda kept this place absolutely secret since it was vital for the ship and only he could operate the machines and devices in here. Tinkering around he opened and closed tunnels and pipes located at the very bottom of the ship, allowing water to flow through them and increasing the aerodynamics of the ship and speeding it up.

Arc glared at the guy as he broke through the window but he signaled for his crew to let the guy leave. "He jumped over deck, in these water. Feh! He's a fool. Remember the merfolk I told you about before Syori? Their village is somewhere below these waves."

"WEll that does not bode well for that man does it." She said simply. She smiled at Arc Nina hissed. "Hush you," She told the cat she stopped dead in her tracks Loda and Dessert were out the window smiling and waving her to join them. She started to walk twords them and stopped shutting her eyes tightly their voices reached her hears "Syoir." They called out. She fell to her knees and covered her ears "Stop haunting me, Stop it." She muttered she looked rather pittifull curled on the ground as she was.

Loda got out of the chamber, making sure to lock both doors and ran back up the stairs from below to above deck. "See you like the coconut Desert, who's that you fished out of the water?" Loda asked jutting his chin out to the soaking wet man who looked a bit like some Chinese general or something. "Arc seems to have tossed him overboard, this guy doesn't look like the starving type that happened to have just crossed our paths over days. Whatever, what Arc throws overboard we'll let stay. Welcome aboard, we don't have much but we'll share."

Arc looked away as a smirk played across his face as Syori heard her friends' voices and thought they weren't real. Once he managed to put away that chesire grin he knelt beside her and put a hand on Syori's shoulder then stroked her hair gently to comfort her. "I'm sorry I never thought I'd cause you so much pain." He got up to get her dinner as he felt another smirk about to form, getting some tinfoil and wrapping an apple and some peaches in it then put it in the fireplace, getting a slice of bread and peanut butter in the meantime, once he finished he carefully scooped the tinfoil wrapped fruit out with his claw gauntlets so he wouldn't burn his fingers and placed it on a barrel lid with the bread and handed it to Syori. "Here's your dinner milady." He smiled and turned to get a mug of coffee and added some chocolate to sweeten it up for her. "Is there anything I can do to help you, beautiful?"

Standing on the forecastle deck of the ship, Sarifa Ari was enjoying the sea and salty air. It was nice to be back out of the open sea again. The captain sighed with contentment before walking down to the main deck of the English merchant ship. Checking the crews work as she went. A shy and gentle creature but none too nice or gentle when angered. She was in good spirits though. They hadn't run into anything or anyone yet. With some luck, they may be able to get home and done quickly. The trade routes seemed calm for now but things could always change.

The co-captain was sailing the ship expertly. Watching to stay on course but every once in a while, watching his daughter and only family left as she checked on everyone and everything. He smiled for it was going well so far and his golden locks with hints of graying was pulled back in a ponytail. It did no good blowing about in the wind. The sails were fine, the crew was working hard and perfectly and Miss Ari was safe.

Arc saw a merchant ship in the way and the Blue Pearl was gaining on him already, it would take to long to go around. The chase seemed like it was over he would be caught and killed or captured and left to the mercy of the navvy and that was something he never wanted, being captured. "No this lion stays free!" He snapped foretting about Syori for a moment and rushing out the door, leaving Syori and and locking it. "Everyone hurry the boat up, I don't care if we go through that boat we need to get away!" He called out and the sails were adjusted, things were tossed over board as they began to pick up speed towards the ship.

Loda watched as they got closer and the crew began throwing things over board. "Desert, we need to slow these guys down, put a few holes in their ship. Actually you steer I'm going to employ my gun I've been itching to use." He turned and stood on the head of the koi fish at the helm of The Blue Pearl and shot crew member after member, missing none from the 20 meter distance. It took a while before the crew found out what the heck was happening and when the first few figured out it was too late, they had time to draw guns but then they were down. Then the more of the crew figured out and they began shooting at him, one bullet grazed his shoulder but he continued shooting faster and faster as if his own life was on the line, which it was at this point.

Arc noticed the chains attached to his ship and noticed it was the Desert guy. "Tch." He frowned and began to take the chains off, holding the last two up in his hands as he watched the now dangling Desert. "Hmm, what should I do? You're an awful nuisance you know that, you and you're friend." He grinned before dropping one of the chains trying to spook the poor guy out.
