Jessica sat down on a box. She sighed. "I wonder why whoever owns this ship had it here in the first place..." she said, thinking outloud. She was about to suggest leaving it where they found it, but realized the owner of this ship could be evil or something too.
She then looked up at them. But can I trust them? She thought to herself as she studied them for a moment. She felt like she could indeed trust them, and she was normally one to listen to her feelings, but she would have to see what happened next to decide. After all, they were thieves....but so was she.....were they having the same doubts as she was too?

Riley was about to open his mouth to speak when the ship lurched again, with a loud creak.
Outside, more thunder roared.
"I don't want to be Captain Obvious here, but there's a massive storm coming." he stated, looking at the wall pointed out to the sea.
He got up, heading to the ladder. "I say we take it off the ship and decide later." he said simply.

Ashe had been watching the others while they talked. When the ship lurched again she stumbled into the statue of the woman. "I agree." She pulled out her bag and tossed to the man. "I'm going to want the bag back." She then walked back up to the ladder and waited for the others to move.

Jessica got up. "Be careful...." she warned, "That thing might still be there..." She then walked over to the ladder and started up slowly and carefully.

Reyl Duskfire
Ezekiel let out a quiet laugh as he watched the girls reaction. He assumed any large amount of attention would probably embaress her, espescially if she was blushing at the thought of being found suspicious. He found the idea of anyone that shy leading around a complete stranger in a bar slightly ironic.
He perked up at hearing that the tailor wasn't too far away he was in definite need of new clothing or atleast a new jacket or a good cloak to hold him over. He swung the strap holding the scabbard of his sword over his head before removing with what looked like an large obsidian marble imbedded into the hilt. The sphere was jet blacke save for some pearlesque traces of violet and silver on it's polished surface. He tossed it playfully as he walked beside her. I may have given the innkeeper the last of my coins, but not the last thing I have of value.

Riley caught the bag with one hand as he was climbing, nearly losing his balance. "The hell you have in this?" he asked, frowning, before hearing Jessica speak.
"See, I knew you where concerned about me." he said with a laugh, climbing up on the deck.
It was still dark and very quiet. Riley felt heat on his hand, and noticed the one torch he was holding was going out. He used it to light his second, blowing out the first.
"It's clear." he shouted down.

Jessica climbed up the rest of the way. "For the record, I am sooo not concerned about you." she said, then folded her arms across her chest and sighed. "I was concerned for the orb, now let's just get off of this ship."

"None of your business," Ashe called up to Riley. She climbed up and walked to the door that lead to the deck. She used her dagger to check if there was anyone outside. "It's clear here too," she said, looking back at the others.

Riley nodded, grinning. "Concerned about the orb, eh? Keep kidding yourself, you know you like me." he joked handing the bag to Ashe as he reached the deck.
"Alright, well, I guess this is where we take our leave." he stated, grabbing the chain and waiting for Jessica.

"Yeah right." Jessica said, rolling her eyes.. "More like you like me." She wouldn't admit that she maybe liked him a just a little bit, she was too stubborn. She walked onto the deck, then walked over to Riley. "Ready when you are." she said.

Ashe caught the bag and looked inside. The orb sat on top of everything else. She smiled. "I'll meet you on the docks," she said as she walked back to the mooring lines she used to climb up to the ship. She took off her scarf, slung it over the line, and used it to slide herself to the dock. Landing she looked back at the sky and whistled low. It looked like perfect weather for the four horsemen to ride out of, but the sky over the land was pretty clear. She sat down on a nearby crate to think about the meaning of all that, and to wait for the others.

Riley simply grinned, climbing down the anchor chain, then slipping into the water below and swimming towards the dock.
The part in the back of his mind that never concentrated on what he was doing at the time started up, saying that maybe what she just said was right.
Shaking his head slightly, he swam up to the dock, pulling himself up onto it, shivering like mad.
"T-that wat-t-ter is fr-r-eazing..." he stammered.

Jessica sighed and climbed down the chain, and lowered herself into the water. Resisting the urge to scream: 'Its Freezing!' she swam to the docks and pulled herself up on it. She was shivering when she got up and saw Riley was too. She giggled a little.

[Have fun ^^]
----
Riley waited for a minute, then took off his shirt, leaned over the front of the dock over the water, and wrung out his shirt for a bit until it was fairly dry.
He then put it back on, and found that it helped, as he stopped shivering as badly.
"Alright...so, now what we came for. What do we do about that orb?" he asked in a low voice.
[edit: Argh, short post. I hate how they look bigger when you are typing them.]

Ashe couldn't help smiling at the two shivering in front of her. At the mention of the orb her face hardened and she shook her head. "Not out here. There is an abandoned warehouse over there we can talk in, and we can start a fire to warm you up." She got up, whistled, and started to walk to the warehouse. The dogs ran up to her, wagging their tails and tongues lolling. Upon reaching the wear house she opened the door and let everyone in. "There are plenty of empty creates we can use as firewood," she said as she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a piece of flint.
